Asunercept (APG101) is a Selective CD95L Inhibitor for Glioblastoma Research
Glioblastoma is the most frequent and aggressive form of brain tumour. Significantly, the highly invasive growth of these tumors often prevents complete surgical resection. Consequently, patients progress shortly after surgery. In fact, clinical evidence confirms CD95L as a promising novel target for the treatment of recurrent glioblastoma and potentially...
Efineptakin alfa (NT-17) is a Long-Acting Recombinant Human IL-7 for Glioblastoma Research
In this article, we will introduce a long-acting recombinant human IL-7, Efineptakin alfa. Efineptakin alfa is a potent T-cell amplifier, with a homodimeric IL-7 fused to the hybridizing IgD/IgG4 immunoglobulin domain. Efineptakin alfa supports the proliferation and survival of CD4+ and CD8+ cells in both humans and mice. Patients...
Coibamide A, an Cytotoxic Depsipeptide, Induces Autophagosome Accumulation
Autophagy is the key structure of macroautophagy. Macroautophagy is an intracellular degradation system of cytoplasmic contents. Meanwhile, autophagy is a new double-membrane vesicle formed during autophagy, which can phagocytose a variety of intracellular substances. It transports this autophagic material to the lysosome for subsequent degradation. The lysosomal hydrolase degrades...
AZ31 is a Highly Selective and Orally Active ATM Inhibitor
Ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) is an ATP-dependent phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-related kinase (PIKK) serine/threonine protein kinase. ATM is related to ATR, DNA-PKcs, mTOR, SMG1 and the non-enzymatic TRRAP within this enzyme family. Importantly, ATM is a central player in the mitotic DNA damage response (DDR), increasing the response to DNA double-strand...
CP681301 is a Potent CDK5 Inhibitor
CDKs (Cyclin-dependent kinases) are serine-threonine kinases first discovered for their role in regulating the cell cycle. They are also involved in regulating transcription, mRNA processing, and the differentiation of nerve cells. CDK5 is one of the Cyclin-dependent kinases. Importantly, CDK5 is an unconventional Cdk that regulates developmental and adult...
FPDT is an anti-glioblastoma agent and shows anti-glioblastoma activity by AKT pathway.
FPDT (2-(4-fluorophenyloamino)-5-(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazole) is an anti-glioblastoma agent. FPDT displays cytotoxic with IC50 values of 44-68 μM for GBM cells and >100 μM for human astrocytes HA. Besides, Anti-glioblastoma activity of FPDT is linked to downregulation of the AKT pathway. FPDT (0-100 µM; 48 h) shows anti-proliferative activity with IC50 values of 53.53, 44.98, 55.20, 56.37, 67.73, >100...
Indoximod, An Immunometabolic Adjuvant, is an IDO Pathway Inhibitor
Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) is an enzyme of interest in immuno-oncology. It has immunosuppressive effects that result from its role in tryptophan catabolism. IDO1 catalyzes the initial rate-limiting step in the degradation of the essential amino acid tryptophan along the kynurenine pathway. IDO inhibits a tryptophan sufficiency signal that stimulates...
