Differential Therapeutic Effects of PARP and ATR Inhibition Combined With Radiotherapy in the Treatment of Subcutaneous Versus Orthotopic Lung Tumour Models
1 views | Jul 02 2020
Vanessa Tran Chau et al. highlighted the importance of using more pathologically relevant models, such as syngeneic orthotopic models, to determine the most appropriate therapeutic approaches for translation to the clinic. [Read the Full Post]
Building on the success of osimertinib: achieving CNS exposure in oncology drug discovery
0 views | Mar 30 2020
Colclough N et al. demonstrated how these innovative kinase inhibitors were recognized as brain penetrant and outline our view of experimental approaches and strategies that can facilitate the discovery of new brain-penetrant therapies for the treatment of primary and secondary CNS malignancies as well as other CNS disorders.

Wang X et al. provided a structural framework for understanding the mechanisms of ATM/Tel1 regulation as well as the development of new therapeutic agents. [Read the Full Post]
Improving DNA double-strand repair inhibitor KU55933 therapeutic index in cancer radiotherapy using nanoparticle drug delivery
82 views | Mar 16 2020
Tian X et al.demonstrated that NP KU55933 is a potent radiosensitizer in vitro using clonogenic assay and is more effective as a radiosensitizer than free KU55933 in vivo using mouse xenograft models of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Western blots and immunofluorescence showed NP KU55933 exhibited more prolonged inhibition of DNA repair pathway. In addition, NP KU55933 leads to lower skin toxicity than KU55933. Our study supports further investigations using NP to deliver DSBRIs to improve cancer radiotherapy treatment. [Read the Full Post]

Sulfoximines as ATR inhibitors: Analogs of VE-821
0 views | Jan 12 2020
Hendriks CMM et al. suggested that the sulfilimidoyl- and sulfoximidoyl-substituted analogs are efficient ATR inhibitors. [Read the Full Post]
PI3K inhibitor LY294002, as opposed to wortmannin, enhances AKT phosphorylation in gemcitabine-resistant pancreatic cancer cells
156 views | Jan 06 2020
Wang Y et al. revealed that LY294002 displays the opposite effect on PI3K-dependent AKT phosphorylation, which maintains cell survival from the cytotoxicity introduced by LY294002 itself in GEM-resistant pancreatic cancer cells. We suggest that targeting the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway with inhibitors may be counterproductive for patients with PC who have acquired GEM-resistance. [Read the Full Post]
Predictability, efficacy and safety of radiosensitization of glioblastoma-initiating cells by the ATM inhibitor KU-60019
107 views | Jan 05 2020
Vecchio D et al. suggested that GIC-driven tumors with low expression of TP53 and high expression of PI3K might be effectively and safely radiosensitized by KU-60019. [Read the Full Post]
The PI3K/mTOR dual inhibitor BEZ235 suppresses proliferation and migration and reverses multidrug resistance in acute myeloid leukemia
146 views | Dec 24 2019
Deng L et al. indicated that the PI3K/mTOR dual inhibitor BEZ235 effectively chemosensitizes AML cells via increasing miR-1-3p and subsequently down-regulating BAG4, EDN1 and ABCB1. [Read the Full Post]
NVP-BEZ235 synergizes cisplatin sensitivity in osteosarcoma
171 views | Dec 24 2019
Huang JC et al. suggested NVP-BEZ235 could synergize cisplatin sensitivity in OS, combination of NVP-BEZ235 with cisplatin could represent a novel therapeutic strategy for treatment of OS. [Read the Full Post]
