The current generation of anti-cancer agents, often referred to as molecularly targeted therapies, are based on exploiting our increasing understanding of the molecular and cellular basis of cancer development and progression. This review focuses on these therapies, particularly as many of the drugs concerned have received considerable attention in the popular media.
متن کاملNew assignments for multitasking signal transduction inhibitors.
An article presented in this issue of Molecular Pharmacology (p. 1527) provides an intriguing example of how tyrosine kinase inhibitors can be put to many uses. In this article, the action of dasatinib (BMS-354825) is contrasted with that of imatinib, a kinase inhibitor that is currently being used to treat chronic myelogenous leukemia and other disorders. Both pharmacologic inhibitors target s...
متن کاملInhibitors of cytokine signal transduction.
Cytokines are secreted proteins that regulate diverse biological functions by binding to receptors at the cell surface to activate complex signal transduction pathways including the Janus kinase-signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK-STAT) pathway. Stringent mechanisms of signal attenuation are essential for ensuring an appropriate, controlled cellular response. Three families of...

متن کاملBacterial Signal Transduction Systems for Environmental Adaptation and Their Inhibitors
Bacterial two-component signal transduction systems (TCSs) play a pivotal role in environmental adaptation. In this minireview, two TCSs in Escherichia coli are clarified: the PhoP/PhoQ system, which senses extracellular Mg and controls the expression of the genes for adaptation to environmental Mg deprivation (Mg regulon); and EvgA/EvgS, a signal transduction system that activates expression o...
