متن کاملChinese hamster ovary cells resistant to the topoisomerase II catalytic inhibitor ICRF-159: a Tyr49Phe mutation confers high-level resistance to bisdioxopiperazines.
Anticancer drugs targeted to the nuclear enzyme DNA topoisomerase II are classified as poisons that lead to DNA breaks or catalytic inhibitors that appear to completely block enzyme activity. To examine the effects of the bisdioxopiperazine class of catalytic inhibitors to topoisomerase II, we investigated a Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) subline selected for resistance to ICRF-159 (CHO/159-1). To...
متن کاملInduction of apoptosis and suppression of angiogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma by HS-159, a novel phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor.
The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway plays a central role in cell proliferation and survival in human cancer and is emerging as an attractive therapeutic target. In this study, we synthesized a novel PI3Kα inhibitor, HS-159 [N-(5-(3-(3-cyanophenyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-6-yl)pyridin-3-yl)benzenesulfonamide] and evaluated its anticancer effects on Huh-7 human hepatocellular carcinoma ...
