Guest guest Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 , The news is intriguing, and I will have my eyes open for further information on the development of these compounds. I don't think it's numbness that keeps me from jumping up and down with excitment. It IS potentially exciting news, but given the early stage of development it's too early for me to get excited. I will definitely stay tuned! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 Hi all, DAPYS is not " a " drug but an approach to building " flexible " molecules. Because of this flexibility, the molecules might be able to respond to HIV mutations by " flexing " and still staying bound to their targets. This approach does appear promising, but don't get too excited yet. This press release is more typical of what we see from small biotech firms that are getting ready to raise public money - kind of breathless and overstating the realities of their product. Tibotec is developing TMC125 which is based on this " flexible molecule " model. It's in Phase II studies. Stay tuned.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 tibotec is a sub of JNJ. As most of us know its not a good idea to get real excited over these kind of stories, but it sure made my day.--- In PozHealth , Bob Munk <bobmunk@i...> wrote: > > Hi all, > > DAPYS is not " a " drug but an approach to building " flexible " > molecules.
