High Affinity Non-Peptidic Small Molecule Inhibitors of MDM2-p53 - Interaction through Virtual Screening Strategies
Since the discovery of p53 in 1979 (Lane et al., 1979; DeLeo et al., 1979; Linzer et al., 1979); it has surfaced as a most important tumor suppressor protein central to regulation of cell cycle, apoptosis, DNA repair, senescence, and angiogenesis (Vousden et al., 2002; Fridman et al., 2003; Teodor et al., 2007). The prominent role of p53 is reflected in nearly 50% cases of malignancies wherein ...
متن کاملNovel small-molecule SIRT1 inhibitors induce cell death in adult T-cell leukaemia cells
Adult T-cell leukaemia/lymphoma (ATL) is an aggressive T-cell malignancy that develops after long-term infection with human T-cell leukaemia virus (HTLV)-1. The identification of new molecular targets for ATL prevention and treatment is desired. SIRT1, a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide(+) -dependent histone/protein deacetylase, plays crucial roles in various physiological processes, including...
متن کاملA High-Throughput Small Molecule Screen for C. elegans Linker Cell Death Inhibitors
Programmed cell death is a ubiquitous process in metazoan development. Apoptosis, one cell death form, has been studied extensively. However, mutations inactivating key mammalian apoptosis regulators do not block most developmental cell culling, suggesting that other cell death pathways are likely important. Recent work in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans identified a non-apoptotic cell deat...
متن کاملSmall molecule inhibitors of ceramidases.
The equilibrium between the pro-apoptotic ceramide and pro-vital sphingosine-1-phosphate is considered to be decisive for cell death or survival. The different ceramidases thus play key roles in cell fate and might offer attractive targets for pharmacological intervention. Although until recently only moderately active inhibitors have been described, first in vivo experiments suggest activity a...
متن کاملSmall Molecule Inhibitors of CXCR4
CXCR4 is a G-protein-coupled receptor involved in a number of physiological processes in the hematopoietic and immune systems. The SDF-1/CXCR4 axis is significantly associated with several diseases, such as HIV, cancer, WHIM syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, pulmonary fibrosis and lupus. For example, CXCR4 is one of the major co-receptors for HIV entry into target cells, while in cancer it plays ...
