Lead optimisation of dehydroemetine for repositioned use in malaria [PDF]
Drug repositioning offers an effective alternative to de novo drug design to tackle the urgent need for novel anti-malarial treatments. The anti-amoebic compound, emetine dihydrochloride, has been identified as a potent in-vitro inhibitor of the multi ...

Combined immunosuppressive therapy with low dose FK506 and antimetabolites in rat allogeneic heart transplantation [PDF]
Following rat heterotopic heart allotransplantation, low to lethal doses of the antimetabolites mizoribine (MIZ), RS-61443 (RS), and AZA were given alone or in combination with subtherapeutic doses of FK506 (0.04 mg/kg/day) for 14 days after ...

Metformin synergistically increases the anticancer effects of lapatinib through induction of apoptosis and modulation of Akt/AMPK pathway in SK-BR3 breast cancer cell line [PDF]
Objective(s): Combination chemotherapy is a beneficial intervention for breast cancer, versus single therapy. We investigated the effect of Metformin (Met) on Lapatinib (Lap)-induced apoptosis in SK-BR3 cells.

A synthetic-lethality RNAi screen reveals an ERK-mTOR co-targeting pro-apoptotic switch in PIK3CA+ oral cancers. [PDF]
mTOR inhibition has emerged as a promising strategy for head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) treatment. However, most targeted therapies ultimately develop resistance due to the activation of adaptive survival signaling mechanisms limiting the ...

Repurposing screen identifies mebendazole as a clinical candidate to synergise with docetaxel for prostate cancer treatment [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Docetaxel chemotherapy in prostate cancer has a modest impact on survival. To date, efforts to develop combination therapies have not translated into new treatments. We sought to develop a novel therapeutic strategy to tackle chemoresistant
