EB-3D, a ChoKα1 Inhibitor, Induces AMPK-mTOR Pathway Deregulation and Apoptosis

T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is an aggressive hematologic disorder. It results from the malignant transformation of T-cell progenitors. Since the overexpression of choline kinase alpha 1 (ChoKa1) has been associated with tumorigenesis in many cancers, it becomes an interesting therapeutic target. ChoK catalyzes the phosphorylation of choline (Cho)...

SLLN-15 Activates Autophagy in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC)

As more active compounds found in Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), this kind of malignant tumor has received more and more attention. Our previous article “IITZ-01 as a Potent Lysosomotropic Autophagy Inhibitor” described the good efficacy of IITZ-01 in TNBC. Today, I would like to introduce another novel small molecule...
