Question
Chapter 20, Problem 20P
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The requirements, methods, and result of the molecular test that can determine whether chemotherapy given to patient would be completely successful or not.
Introduction:
Leukaemia is a white blood cell cancer that takes place in the body of an individual as the result of a reciprocal translocation. Chemotherapy is used for the treatment of leukaemia. In chemotherapy, patients are given drugs that kill the cancer cells, but these drugs may result in many side effects.

Drug substances are useful based on their biological activity. Thus, an assay must be developed to ensure that this important function is preserved during purification. There are three major types of biological activity assays including animal model assays, cell-line-derived assays, and in vitro biochemical assays. Please find an example of each (in literature, online, etc.) and briefly Include a reference for each (no particular reference format required, can simply include a web link if easiest).
BiDil® is indicated for the treatment of heart failure as an adjunct to standard therapy in self-identified black patients to improve survival, to prolong time to hospitalization for heart failure, and to improve patient-reported functional status
Question: The results of BiDil® clinical trials were compelling…Expound on the results.
Question : What role did FDA’s approval resulted in BiDil® being a great example of pharmacogenomics/pharmacogenetics in the U.S.?
As shown , several medical agents are now commercially produced by genetically engineered microorganisms. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of making these agents this way.

- We discussed various assay attributes in class which provide insight into the effectiveness or suitability of a given analytical method. As part of assay development, various attributes were investigated. For each description below, indicate which assay attribute was being evaluated (partial list of attributes include precision, accuracy, specificity, linearity, LOQ/LOD, etc.). The impact of assay temperature and pH on assay results were evaluated to find a suitable range of conditions for the activity assay. Various known concentrations of standard α-AM solutions were evaluated, and the proportionality of the responses were determined. A reference standard of known α-AM (alpha-amylase) concentration was evaluated in triplicate to determine the variability (or scatter) of repeat measurements. Spiked standard of known specific activity and purity was spiked into a sample and the ability for the assay to measure the true biological activity was determined.
