SEOM clinical guidelines for the treatment of non‑small cell lung cancer (2018) [PDF]
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for up to 85% of all lung cancers. The last few years have seen the development of a new staging system, diagnostic procedures such as liquid biopsy, treatments like immunotherapy, as well as deeper molecular

Transfer Hydrogenation: Advances in Manganese and Nickel Metal Catalysis
Transfer hydrogenation (TH) of ketones, catalyzed by transition–metal complexes, produces alcohols, which are important building blocks in the pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries. For a long time, catalysts based on noble metals such as ruthenium, rhodium, and iridium have dominated the TH of ketones.

Impact of the putative cancer stem cell markers and growth factor receptor expression on the sensitivity of ovarian cancer cells to treatment with various forms of the HER inhibitors and cytotoxic drugs [PDF]
Increased expression and activation of human epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and HER-2 have been reported in numerous cancers. The aim of this study was to determine the sensitivity of a large panel of human ovarian cancer cell lines (OCCLs) to ...

Modular Synthesis of Pyritide‐Inspired Macrocycles Featuring Bipyridine Motifs
A pyritide‐inspired build/couple/pair strategy yields a diverse macrocycle library. This approach expands chemical space and enables the discovery of 6paW, a potent anti‐ferroptotic agent. Abstract Macrocycles represent a promising class of drug‐like scaffolds with unique structural features and the ability to engage challenging targets such as protein–

Response to erlotinib in a patient with lung adenocarcinoma harbouring the EML4-ALK translocation: A case report. [PDF]
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-associated mortality worldwide, and the mainstay of treatment remains to be personalised therapy. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR-TKIs) have been reported to exert a ...
