HDAC inhibitors are a class of anticancer agents. HDAC inhibitors have shown antitumor effects in a variety of cancer cell lines, such as NSCLC, prostate, colon, ovarian, breast, bladder, pancreas,…
EGFR-mutated (EGFRm+) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a major clinical problem. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have precision therapeutic implications for advanced NSCLC. However, common EGFR mutations, such as EGFRL858R,…
ROS1 (c-ros oncogene 1) is a receptor tyrosine kinase encoded by the gene ROS1. Importantly, ROS1 is a proto-oncogene and highly expressed in a variety of tumor cell lines, belonging…
ATR kinase is a key component of the DNA damage response pathway. Additionally, it plays a critical role in maintaining genome stability. Ceralasertib (AZD6738) is a potent inhibitor of ATR…
KRAS plays a critical role in regulating cell growth and division. KRAS mutations are common in many types of solid tumors, including lung, colon, and pancreatic cancers, and are associated…
The KRAS oncoprotein is a GTPase and an essential mediator of intracellular signaling pathways. KRAS oncoprotein regulates tumor cell growth and survival. However, KRAS also is the most frequently mutated…
In this article, we will introduce a potent RFC (reduced folate carrier) specific inhibitor Talotrexin (PT523). Talotrexin, an analog of Aminopterin, is a nonpolyglutamatable classic antifolate. Additionally, it selectively inhibits…
Epidermal growth factor (EGF) is a protein that stimulates cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival by binding to its receptor EGFR. Additionally, It exists in platelets, urine, saliva, milk, tears, and…
On December 12, 2022, FDA granted accelerated approval to Adagrasib (Krazati), for adult patients with KRAS G12C-mutated locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC. In 2021, FDA approved the selective KRASG12C mutant…
SWI/SNF complex has two important ATP-dependent helicases, SMARCA2 and SMARCA4. In fact, SMARCA2 and SMARCA4 share strong protein sequence homology. But SWI/SNF helicase SMARCA4 is frequently mutated in cancer. The…
