Identifcation of small molecule enzyme inhibitors as broad-spectrum anthelmintics [PDF]

, 2019
Targeting chokepoint enzymes in metabolic pathways has led to new drugs for cancers, autoimmune disorders and infectious diseases. This is also a cornerstone approach for discovery and development of anthelmintics against nematode and flatworm parasites.

Cell surface interactome analysis identifies TSPAN4 as a negative regulator of PD‐L1 in melanoma

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Using cell surface proximity biotinylation, we identified tetraspanin TSPAN4 within the PD‐L1 interactome of melanoma cells. TSPAN4 negatively regulates PD‐L1 expression and lateral mobility by limiting its interaction with CMTM6 and promoting PD‐L1 degradation.

The identification of potent dual-target monopolar spindle 1 (MPS1) and histone deacetylase 8 (HDAC8) inhibitors through pharmacophore modeling, molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulations, and biological evaluation

Frontiers in Pharmacology
BackgroundOverexpression of monopolar spindle 1 (MPS1) and histone deacetylase 8 (HDAC8) is associated with the proliferation of liver cancer cells, so simultaneous inhibition of both MPS1 and HDAC8 could offer a promising therapeutic approach for the ...

Chemical screening identifies the β-Carboline alkaloid harmine to be synergistically lethal with doxorubicin. [PDF]

, 2017
Despite being an invaluable chemotherapeutic agent for several types of cancer, the clinical utility of doxorubicin is hampered by its age-related and dose-dependent cardiotoxicity.

PARP inhibition and pharmacological ascorbate demonstrate synergy in castration‐resistant prostate cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Pharmacologic ascorbate (vitamin C) increases ROS, disrupts cellular metabolism, and induces DNA damage in CRPC cells. These effects sensitize tumors to PARP inhibition, producing synergistic growth suppression with olaparib in vitro and significantly delayed tumor progression in vivo. Pyruvate rescue confirms ROS‐dependent activity.

Plecstatin inhibits hepatocellular carcinoma tumorigenesis and invasion through cytolinker plectin

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The ruthenium‐based metallodrug plecstatin exerts its anticancer effect in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) primarily through selective targeting of plectin. By disrupting plectin‐mediated cytoskeletal organization, plecstatin inhibits anchorage‐dependent growth, cell polarization, and tumor cell dissemination.
