Abstract
The 44th Annual Scientific Meeting of the Australasian Society of Clinical and Experimental Pharmacologists and Toxicologists; ‘Found in translation: integrated approaches to drug development’, was held in Melbourne, Australia, from 28 November to 1 December 2010. This was a wide-ranging conference that included some discussion of new drugs and new targets for drug development. The new drugs included dynamin inhibitors, Xen2174, an oxytocin receptor agonist and annexin-A12–26. The new targets included B7-dependent costimulation, chemoattractant receptors, granulocyte–macrophage colony-stimulating factor and glutathione peroxidases.
