Cancer Metabolism: New Validated Targets for Drug Discovery
Recent studies in cancer metabolism directly implicate catabolic fibroblasts as a new rich source of i) energy and ii) biomass, for the growth and survival of anabolic cancer cells. Conversely, anabolic cancer cells upregulate oxidative mitochondrial metabolism, to take advantage of the abundant fibroblast fuel supply. This simple model of "metabolic-symbiosis" has now been independently valida...
متن کاملNew Targets for Drug Discovery against Malaria
A mathematical model which predicts the intraerythrocytic stages of Plasmodium falciparum infection was developed using data from malaria-infected mice. Variables selected accounted for levels of healthy red blood cells, merozoite (Plasmodium asexual phase) infected red blood cells, gametocyte (Plasmodium sexual phase) infected red blood cells and a phenomenological variable which accounts for ...
متن کاملProstate cancer: score one for validated targets.
This CCR Focuswent to press shortly after the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval, on April 28, 2011, of abiraterone in combination with prednisone for the treatment of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Abiraterone was synthesized in the early 1990s by Mike Jarman’s group at the Institute of Cancer Research, Sutton, Surrey, England. After some delay, clinica...
متن کاملNew horizons in drug metabolism, pharmacokinetics and drug discovery.
Along with minimal toxicity, good drug metabolism and pharmacokinetic (DMPK) properties are essential for the clinical success of a drug candidate. A major cause of failure of orally administered drugs during their development is the discovery that in humans they have low intestinal absorption and/or high clearance causing low and variable bioavailability. In addition, drug interactions and the...
متن کاملSynthetic lethality-based targets for discovery of new cancer therapeutics.
Synthetic lethality is based on the incompatibility of cell survival with the loss of function of two or more genes, not with loss of function of a single gene. If targets of synthetic lethality are deregulated or mutated in cancer cells, the strategy of synthetic lethality can result in significant increase of therapeutic efficacy and a favourable therapeutic window. In this review, we discuss...
