Proteasome inhibitors in cancer therapy: lessons from the first decade.
The ubiquitin-proteasome pathway is involved in intracellular protein turnover, and its function is crucial to cellular homeostasis. First synthesized as probes of proteolytic processes, proteasome inhibitors began to be thought of as potential drug candidates when they were found to induce programmed cell death preferentially in transformed cells. They made their first leap into the clinic to ...
متن کاملPARP inhibitors: A new era of targeted therapy.
Personalized medicine seeks to utilize targeted therapies with increased selectivity and efficacy in preselected patient cohorts. One such molecularly targeted therapy is enabled by inhibiting the enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) by small molecule inhibitors in tumors which have a defect in the homologous DNA recombination pathway, most characteristically due to BRCA mutations. Olapari...
متن کاملTargeted cancer therapy with ribosome biogenesis inhibitors: a real possibility?
The effects of many chemotherapeutic drugs on ribosome biogenesis have been underestimated for a long time. Indeed, many drugs currently used for cancer treatment--and which are known to either damage DNA or hinder DNA synthesis--have been shown to exert their toxic action mainly by inhibiting rRNA synthesis or maturation. Moreover, there are new drugs that have been proposed recently for cance...
متن کاملPDE4-inhibitors: a novel, targeted therapy for obstructive airways disease.
Roflumilast is a selective once daily, oral phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor that has recently been registered in all European Union countries as novel targeted therapy for COPD, while FDA approval for the USA market is expected in 2011. In several phase III trials in patients with moderate to (very) severe COPD and in patients with symptoms of chronic bronchitis and recurrent exacerbations, roflu...
متن کاملProteasome Inhibitors And
Protein degradation plays an important role in the control and regulation of many crucial biological functions, ranging from cell cycle progression to presentation of viral antigens for scrutiny by cells of the immune system. At the heart of many of these catabolic events is the multicatalytic proteinase complex known as the proteasome. This large barrel-shaped protein complex executes a remark...
