Overcoming mutation-based resistance to antiandrogens with rational drug design
The second-generation antiandrogen enzalutamide was recently approved for patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer. Despite its success, the duration of response is often limited. For previous antiandrogens, one mechanism of resistance is mutation of the androgen receptor (AR). To prospectively identify AR mutations that might confer resistance to enzalutamide, we performed a reporter...
متن کاملRational drug design approach for overcoming drug resistance: application to pyrimethamine resistance in malaria.
Pyrimethamine acts by selectively inhibiting malarial dihydrofolate reductase-thymidylate synthase (DHFR-TS). Resistance in the most important human parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, initially results from an S108N mutation in the DHFR domain, with additional mutation (most commonly C59R or N51I or both) imparting much greater resistance. From a homology model of the 3-D structure of DHFR-TS, ra...
متن کاملThe new concepts on overcoming drug resistance in lung cancer
Lung cancer is one of the most deadly diseases worldwide. The current first-line therapies include chemotherapy using epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors and radiotherapies. With the current progress in identifying new molecular targets, acquired drug resistance stands as an obstacle for good prognosis. About half the patients receiving epidermal growth factor receptor-t...
متن کامل[Structure-based drug design].
Structure-based drug design is not only a fundamental tool in the search of new drugs but also an area of intensive scientific research. The present contribution starts with a critical analysis of the potentiality of the structure based design and then reviews its methods. Protein crystallography, NMR, homology modelling and the use of antibodies are either referenced or briefly described as th...
