Drugs That Are as Smart as Our Diseases

Here's a paradox. Every week seems to bring news from a research laboratory of an ingenious candidate cure about to enter clinical trials for a serious disease. Yet the productivity of drugs coming out of clinical trials has been plummeting, and the cost per drug has been rocketing skyward. The more knowledge swells, the more pharmaceutical innovation fails. What's going on?

This week's promising drug candidate is colchicine, a toxin found in Colchicum, the strange flower that comes up in the fall after its leaves have disappeared (also known as the naked lady or the autumn crocus). By attaching colchicine to a trigger that activates in the presence of a tumor, researchers at the University of Bradford in England have developed a potentially potent cancer therapy.

Meanwhile, somebody in the pharmaceutical industry has had the bright idea of funding research on sponges, having concluded that these simple organisms cannot have survived the best part of a billion years on the ocean floor without inventing smart chemical tricks for defeating bacteria. More than 100 promising antibacterial compounds have already emerged from sponge research.

Genetics is also a big part of our golden age for possible new cures. Reading the genes of pathogens and cancer cells helps to identify targets for therapy, and gene sequencing has gotten cheaper far faster than would be predicted by Moore's Law, which famously holds that transistor density on a silicon chip doubles—while the cost halves—every two years.

PM e PC apreendem 482 armas em quatro meses

Superando o número de armas apreendidas nos quatro primeiros meses do ano passado, as Polícias Militar e Civil recuperaram um total de 482 armas de fogo em todo o estado durante o mesmo período deste ano. O maior número de armas apreendidas foi registrado no mês de março deste ano, no qual 134 pistolas, revólveres e espingardas saíram das ruas. Só neste mês foi apreendida quase a mesma quantidade de armas no mesmo período de 2010: 144 armas.

A maior parte dessas armas foi encontrada nas mãos de criminosos que atuam em João Pessoa e região metropolitana, assim como em Campina Grande. Conforme explicou Cláudio Lima, secretário de Segurança Pública do estado, os números expressivos registrados neste ano são frutos de um trabalho nas regiões com os maiores índices de homicídios.

“A Operação Cidade Segura, por exemplo, é focada no combate ao porte de arma e ao tráfico de drogas, com a abordagem de pessoas, de veículos, além de vistorias em bares e ônibus, além de cumprimento de mandados. Tudo com o objetivo de diminuir a ocorrência de homicídios e crimes contra o patrimônio”, comentou Lima.

As armas apreendidas, na sua grande maioria revólveres calibre 38, são encaminhadas para o Instituto de Polícia Científica com o objetivo de passar por um exame de balística. Posteriormente, o material segue para as delegacias que as encaminham para a Justiça, que as armazena até serem destruídas pelas Forças Armadas.
