Inhibition of STAT3 by Anticancer Drug Bendamustine
Bendamustine (BENDA), which bears the bis(2-chloroethyl)amino moiety, is an alkylating agent that stops the growth of cancer cells by binding to DNA and interfering with its replication. However, the mechanism of action underlying its excellent clinical efficacy remains unclear. In this work, we report that BENDA inhibits signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3). In an AlphaSc...
متن کاملGenetic Interactions of STAT3 and Anticancer Drug Development
Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) plays critical roles in tumorigenesis and malignant evolution and has been intensively studied as a therapeutic target for cancer. A number of STAT3 inhibitors have been evaluated for their antitumor activity in vitro and in vivo in experimental tumor models and several approved therapeutic agents have been reported to function as STAT3...
متن کاملBendamustine: rebirth of an old drug.
Bendamustine is a unique cytotoxic agent with structural similarities to alkylating agents and antimetabolites, but which is non-cross-resistant with alkylating agents and other drugs in vitro and in the clinic. Early clinical studies conducted in the German Democratic Republic more than 30 years ago suggested promising activity in indolent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Two North American trial...
متن کاملLichenoid drug eruption associated with Bendamustine
A 65-year-old man had relapsed follicular lymphoma. When he suffered a fifth relapse, he received a regimen containing bendamustine and rituximab (BR). Four weeks later, he presented with systemic erythema, swelling and bullous lesions of lips, the oral cavity, andnasal mucosa and eye pain. He could not open his mouth and had severe pain. Steven–Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis was d...
متن کاملStructural basis of DNA gyrase inhibition by antibacterial QPT-1, anticancer drug etoposide and moxifloxacin
New antibacterials are needed to tackle antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Type IIA topoisomerases (topo2As), the targets of fluoroquinolones, regulate DNA topology by creating transient double-strand DNA breaks. Here we report the first co-crystal structures of the antibacterial QPT-1 and the anticancer drug etoposide with Staphylococcus aureus DNA gyrase, showing binding at the same sites in the ...
