Abstract:
Contemporary drug discovery and development is a costly and time-consuming process. It has been estimated that it now takes about a decade and costs close to one billion US dollars to develop a new drug from start to finish. To speed up the drug development process, we have built a library of mostly clinical drugs, called the Johns Hopkins Drug Library (JHDL). We have screened JHDL in multiple assays including endothelial cell proliferation in search for inhibitors of angiogenesis. We have found several known drugs with previously unappreciated anti-angiogenic activity. Subsequent mechanistic studies have led to new insights on the functions of the targets of the inhibitors. Preclinical evaluations revealed that these inhibitors are efficacious in blocking angiogenesis and tumor growth in vivo, paving the way for these inhibitors to enter human clinical trials.
