A comprehensive map of molecular drug targets.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-01-01)
The success of mechanism-based drug discovery depends on the definition of the drug target. This definition becomes even more important as we try to link drug response to genetic variation, understand stratified clinical ...
A phase I study of afatinib combined with paclitaxel and bevacizumab in patients with advanced solid tumors.
(SPRINGER, 2017-01-01)
PURPOSE: The combination of afatinib, an irreversible ErbB family blocker, with paclitaxel and bevacizumab was assessed in patients with advanced solid tumors. METHODS: This phase I study used a 3 + 3 design to determine ...
Pyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one metabolism mediated by aldehyde oxidase is blocked by C2-substitution.
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2017-09-01)
1. We have previously described C8-substituted pyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one derivatives as cell permeable inhibitors of the KDM4 and KDM5 subfamilies of JmjC histone lysine demethylases. 2. Although exemplar compound ...
Blood transfusion during radical chemo-radiotherapy does not reduce tumour hypoxia in squamous cell cancer of the head and neck.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-01-03)
BACKGROUND: Patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) undergoing radical chemo-radiation (CRT) frequently receive transfusion with packed red cells (PRCT) during radiotherapy on the basis that PRCT increases ...
A phase I/II trial of AT9283, a selective inhibitor of aurora kinase in children with relapsed or refractory acute leukemia: challenges to run early phase clinical trials for children with leukemia.
(WILEY, 2017-06-01)
Aurora kinases regulate mitosis and are commonly overexpressed in leukemia. This phase I/IIa study of AT9283, a multikinase inhibitor, was designed to identify maximal tolerated doses, safety, pharmacokinetics, and ...
The UK HeartSpare Study (Stage II): Multicentre Evaluation of a Voluntary Breath-hold Technique in Patients Receiving Breast Radiotherapy.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON, 2017-03-01)
AIMS: To evaluate the feasibility and heart-sparing ability of the voluntary breath-hold (VBH) technique in a multicentre setting. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients were recruited from 10 UK centres. Following surgery for ...
CYP3A7*1C allele is associated with reduced levels of 2-hydroxylation pathway oestrogen metabolites.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-01-31)
BACKGROUND: Endogenous sex hormones are well-established risk factors for breast cancer; the contribution of specific oestrogen metabolites (EMs) and/or ratios of specific EMs is less clear. We have previously identified ...
Myosin and Actin Filaments in Muscle: Structures and Interactions.
(SPRINGER INTERNATIONAL PUBLISHING AG, 2017-01-01)
In the last decade, improvements in electron microscopy and image processing have permitted significantly higher resolutions to be achieved (sometimes <1 nm) when studying isolated actin and myosin filaments. In the case ...
Chemical approaches to targeted protein degradation through modulation of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway.
(PORTLAND PRESS LTD, 2017-03-15)
Manipulation of the ubiquitin-proteasome system to achieve targeted degradation of proteins within cells using chemical tools and drugs has the potential to transform pharmacological and therapeutic approaches in cancer ...
The OncoArray Consortium: A Network for Understanding the Genetic Architecture of Common Cancers.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2017-01-01)
BACKGROUND: Common cancers develop through a multistep process often including inherited susceptibility. Collaboration among multiple institutions, and funding from multiple sources, has allowed the development of an ...
