EDITORIALS Anticancer Drug Discovery
The National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) human tumor cell line panel for screening potential new anticancer drugs is now operational (/). Its implementation and the demonstration of its feasibility represent a technical and organizational tour de force. The rationale for the change in the primary screen from leukemias in mice to the array of 60 human cancer cell lines was earlier debated in cont...
متن کاملHarnessing Plant Biodiversity for the Discovery of Novel Anticancer Drugs Targeting Microtubules
The microtubule cytoskeleton plays a critical role in a wide range of cellular activities and has been shown to be a highly effective target for the treatment of human malignancies. Despite the recent focus on proteomics and high-throughput profiling, it is clear that analysis of plant extracts has yielded several highly efficacious microtubule-targeting agents (MTAs) currently in clinical use,...
متن کاملRecent Advances in Drug Repositioning for the Discovery of New Anticancer Drugs
Drug repositioning (also referred to as drug repurposing), the process of finding new uses of existing drugs, has been gaining popularity in recent years. The availability of several established clinical drug libraries and rapid advances in disease biology, genomics and bioinformatics has accelerated the pace of both activity-based and in silico drug repositioning. Drug repositioning has attrac...
متن کاملSaikosaponins A, C and D enhance liver-targeting effects of anticancer drugs by modulating drug transporters
Vinegar-baked Radix Bupleuri (VBRB) is clinically used to enhance the pharmacological activity of drugs used to treat liver diseases. Our previous study demonstrated that this effect is dependent on increased drug accumulation in the liver; however, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. We hypothesize that VBRB mediated its effects by altering drug transporters. Thus, the present study was ...
متن کاملCell cycle regulation and anticancer drug discovery
Cellular growth, development, and differentiation are tightly controlled by a conserved biological mechanism: the cell cycle. This cycle is primarily regulated by cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)-cyclin complexes, checkpoint kinases, and CDK inhibitors. Deregulation of the cell cycle is a hallmark of the transformation of normal cells into tumor cells. Given its importance in tumorigenesis, severa...
