Covalent-allosteric inhibitors (CAIs) may achieve the best of both worlds: increased potency, long-lasting effects, and reduced drug resistance typical of covalent ligands, along with enhanced specificity and decreased toxicity inherent in allosteric modulators.

Ribonucleic acid, commonly known as RNA, is involved in many biological functions, and some, including gene silencing, are utlitized to cure diseases. RNA has recently gained attention as a promising drug target. Unfortunately, only a small fraction of RNA structures have been determined experimentally, and the process of uncovering these structures requires intense time and effort. Using this time scale, the structures of many life-saving RNA may not be discovered for years. As a result, there is a significant gap between the types of known RNA and the available structural data.

In Alzheimer’s disease, microglia pack on fat, which impairs phagocytosis. Now, scientists led by Christiane Ruedl of Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, report that blocking lipid buildup in these cells restores their capacity to engulf Aβ, leading to fewer plaques in the brains of APP knock-in mice. Their paper ran in the February 5 Science Advances.
