Mogamulizumab is a Defucosylated Anti-CCR4 Monoclonal Antibody

C-C Motif Chemokine Receptor 4 (CCR4) is a G-coupled-protein receptor for C-C chemokines. It’s on surface of tumor cells in leukemia and lymphoma patients. For example, adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma (ATLL), peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) and cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) all expresses CCR-4. Furthermore, leukemia and lymphoma are clinically and...

GR-46611 is a 5-HT1D Receptor Agonist

5-HT1D (5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) receptor 1D) is a G protein-linked receptor that activates an intracellular messenger cascade to produce an inhibitory response by decreasing cellular levels of cAMP. Besides, 5-HT1D acts on the central nervous system and affects locomotion and anxiety. Importantly, it also induces vasoconstriction in the brain. Particularly,...

Pirarubicin, an Anthracycline Antibiotics, Acts as a Topoisomerase II Inhibitor

Pirarubicin has widely application in intravesical chemotherapy for bladder cancer, but drug resistance limits its efficacy; the mechanism still needs further exploration.   Bladder cancer is the most common malignancy of the urinary tract in China. 75–85% of bladder cancers are grouped as non-muscle invasive bladder tumors. Intravesical chemotherapy...

Saracatinib (AZD0530) is a potent Src Family Inhibitor

Src is a prototypical non-receptor tyrosine kinase. It also includes c-Yes and Fyn. Src transduces signals that control processes involved in cell proliferation, adhesion, and motility. Clinical evidence supports a link between deregulation of Src activity and tumor progression and metastasis. Src over-expression and activation are associated with numerous...
