As drug discovery adopts more human-relevant models and complex biologics, it’s increasingly important that reagents are more consistent, better characterized, and fit for purpose.
As multiplexing platforms become more scalable and flexible, biomarkers are playing an increasingly central role in both preclinical and clinical decision-making.
NAMs are increasingly used to de-risk preclinical development decisions, yet their broader impact on toxicology will depend on whether they are required or simply encouraged by regulators.
Despite growing regulatory acceptance, widespread adoption of NAMs depends on workflow integration, reproducibility, and perceived risk in industry decision-making.
The compound reduced opioid intake within hours in rats and was linked to changes in synaptic organization and gene expression in reward-related brain regions.
