Discovery of potent, orally bioavailable, small-molecule inhibitors of WNT signaling from a cell-based pathway screen.
(AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2015-02-26)
WNT signaling is frequently deregulated in malignancy, particularly in colon cancer, and plays a key role in the generation and maintenance of cancer stem cells. We report the discovery and optimization of a 3,4,5-trisubstituted ...
Assessing the mechanism and therapeutic potential of modulators of the human Mediator complex-associated protein kinases.
(ELIFE SCIENCES PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2016-12-09)
Mediator-associated kinases CDK8/19 are context-dependent drivers or suppressors of tumorigenesis. Their inhibition is predicted to have pleiotropic effects, but it is unclear whether this will impact on the clinical utility ...
canSAR: update to the cancer translational research and drug discovery knowledgebase.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2019-01-08)
canSAR (http://cansar.icr.ac.uk) is a public, freely available, integrative translational research and drug discovery knowlegebase. canSAR informs researchers to help solve key bottlenecks in cancer translation and drug ...
Native Size-Exclusion Chromatography-Based Mass Spectrometry Reveals New Components of the Early Heat Shock Protein 90 Inhibition Response Among Limited Global Changes.
(ELSEVIER, 2023-02-01)
The molecular chaperone heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) works in concert with co-chaperones to stabilize its client proteins, which include multiple drivers of oncogenesis and malignant progression. Pharmacologic inhibitors ...
Critical parameters in targeted drug development: the pharmacological audit trail.
(W B SAUNDERS CO-ELSEVIER INC, 2016-08-01)
The Pharmacological Audit Trail (PhAT) comprises a set of critical questions that need to be asked during discovery and development of an anticancer drug. Key aspects include: (1) defining a patient population; (2) ...
Drug discovery in advanced prostate cancer: translating biology into therapy.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2016-10-01)
Castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) is associated with a poor prognosis and poses considerable therapeutic challenges. Recent genetic and technological advances have provided insights into prostate cancer biology ...
The BRAF Inhibitor Vemurafenib Activates Mitochondrial Metabolism and Inhibits Hyperpolarized Pyruvate-Lactate Exchange in BRAF-Mutant Human Melanoma Cells.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2016-12-01)
Understanding the impact of BRAF signaling inhibition in human melanoma on key disease mechanisms is important for developing biomarkers of therapeutic response and combination strategies to improve long-term disease ...
Polypharmacology in Precision Oncology: Current Applications and Future Prospects.
(BENTHAM SCIENCE PUBL LTD, 2017-01-24)
Over the past decade, a more comprehensive, large-scale approach to studying cancer genetics and biology has revealed the challenges of tumor heterogeneity, adaption, evolution and drug resistance, while systems-based ...
HSF1 Is Essential for Myeloma Cell Survival and A Promising Therapeutic Target.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2018-05-15)
Purpose: Myeloma is a plasma cell malignancy characterized by the overproduction of immunoglobulin, and is therefore susceptible to therapies targeting protein homeostasis. We hypothesized that heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) ...
MIR21 Drives Resistance to Heat Shock Protein 90 Inhibition in Cholangiocarcinoma.
(W B SAUNDERS CO-ELSEVIER INC, 2018-03-01)
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Cholangiocarcinomas (CCA) are resistant to chemotherapy, so new therapeutic agents are needed. We performed a screen to identify small-molecule compounds that are active against CCAs. Levels of microRNA ...
