Background
• Drug development is expensive, risky and with no guarantee of clinical or financial success
• We still don’t fully understand many of the diseases that affect us
• Probably half of all medicines prescribed do not work in patients

Drug Development Statistics• Developing a new medicine takes an average of 10–15 years; the
Congressional Budget Office reports that “relatively few drugs survive the clinical trial process”

Rare diseases are those that affect 200,000 or fewer people in the U.S. There are between 6,000 and 7,000 rare diseases affecting 25 million Americans.
The Orphan Drug Act (ODA) was passed in 1983 to encourage the research and development of medicines to treat rare diseases. Since then, the FDA has approved more than 200 medicines for rare diseases.

Systems Biology Ireland• Systems Biology Ireland (based at University College Dublin) is a highly
interdisciplinary, research driven centre that combines expertise in computing, mathematics, engineering, chemistry, biochemistry and biology to address key questions in biology & biomedicine.
• It focuses on Growth factor receptor signalling• Cell fate decisions in adult stem cells• Cell motility and migration• Hypoxia signalling
• Works out how we are wired together

Pathway Description:The MAPK/Erk signaling cascade is activated by a wide variety of receptors involved in growth and differentiation including receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), integrins, and ion channels. The specific components of the cascade vary greatly among different stimuli, but the architecture of the pathway usually includes a set of adaptors (Shc, GRB2, Crk, etc.) linking the receptor to a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (SOS, C3G, etc.) transducing the signal to small GTP binding proteins (Ras, Rap1), which in turn activate the core unit of the cascade composed of a MAPKKK (Raf), a MAPKK (MEK1/2), and MAPK (Erk). An activated Erk dimer can regulate targets in the cytosol and also translocate to the nucleus where it phosphorylates a variety of transcription factors regulating gene expression.

Work in Progress - background
• Previous work on ALC-01 new ‘protein’ wide spread affects on human health (dizzyness, nausea, memory-loss etc)
[Carlsberg A., Guinness A., Daniels, J. - J of Irreproducible Results 2010]
• Recent work on elucidating the structure revealed hydroxylated form
• Renamed ‘protein’ ALC-OH-01 – many isomers!
• Wanted to look at the this effect in more detail
![Page 23: Drug Development – a new way forward? Dr Ian Barwick Business Development Manager Systems Biology Ireland, UCD](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5697bfa71a28abf838c98aa8/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Hypothesis investigated

dT dT dT
[CHAOTIC] = concentration of CHAOTIC delegates in the bar[ALC-OH-01]B = concentration of ALC-OH-01 Bought
