Abstract Purpose: Non–small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) harboring ALK gene rearrangements (ALK+) typically become resistant to the first-generation anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) tyrosine inhibitor (TKI) crizotinib through development of secondary resistance mutations in or disease progression brain. Mutations that confer second-generation TKIs ceritinib and alectinib have also been identified. Here, we report structure first comprehensive preclinical evaluation next-generation TKI...
The BCR‐ABL inhibitor imatinib has revolutionized the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia. However, drug resistance caused by kinase domain mutations necessitated development new mutation‐resistant inhibitors, most recently against T315I gatekeeper residue mutation. Ponatinib (AP24534) inhibits both native and mutant BCR‐ABL, including T315I, acting as a pan‐BCR‐ABL inhibitor. Here, we undertook combined crystallographic structure–activity relationship analysis on ponatinib to understand...
Most EGFR exon 20 insertion (EGFRex20ins) driver mutations in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are insensitive to approved tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI). To address the limitations of existing therapies targeting EGFR-mutated NSCLC, mobocertinib (TAK-788), a novel irreversible TKI, was specifically designed potently inhibit oncogenic variants containing activating EGFRex20ins with selectivity over wild-type EGFR. The vitro and vivo activity evaluated engineered patient-derived models...

A novel series of potent dual Src/Abl kinase inhibitors based on a 9-(arenethenyl)purine core has been identified. Unlike traditional targeting the active enzyme conformation, these bind to inactive, DFG-out conformation both kinases. Extensive SAR studies led discovery and orally bioavailable inhibitors, some which demonstrated in vivo efficacy. Once-daily oral administration inhibitor 9i (AP24226) significantly prolonged survival mice injected intravenously with wild type Bcr-Abl...
Abstract In non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), multiple classes of activating mutations have been identified in EGFR and HER2 that vary widely their sensitivity to available tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Erlotinib, gefitinib, afatinib are approved for use patients with the most common forms (ie, exon 19 deletions or L858R substitutions). However, no TKIs activated by any other mutation, including 20 insertions uncommon substitutions, class mutation (including insertions). As inhibition...
In the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), patients harboring exon 20 insertion mutations in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene have few effective therapies because this subset mutants is generally resistant to most currently approved EGFR inhibitors. This report describes structure-guided design a novel series potent, irreversible inhibitors mutations, including V769_D770insASV and D770_N771insSVD mutants. Extensive structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies led...
Bcr-Abl is the oncogenic protein tyrosine kinase responsible for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Treatment of disease with imatinib (Gleevec) often results in drug resistance via mutations at advanced phases disease, which has necessitated development new mutation-resistant inhibitors, notably against T315I gatekeeper mutation. As part our efforts to discover such mutation resistant Abl we have focused on optimizing purine template leading discovery potent DFG-in and DFG-out series...
Abstract Activating gene rearrangements of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) have been identified in large cell (ALCL; NPM-ALK) and non-small lung cancer (NSCLC; EML4-ALK). The dual Met/ALK inhibitor PF-02341066 (PF1066) has demonstrated promising clinical activity against tumors carrying activating ALK (Kwak ASCO 2009: #3509) validating as a therapeutic target. Previously, AP26113 was novel, potent, orally bioavailable with selectivity over related receptor tyrosine family members IGF-1R...
Abstract Several studies suggested a relationship between stress and related mental illnesses, such as depression osteoporosis. However, it was unclear whether patients with post‐traumatic disorder (PTSD) were at risk of developing osteoporosis in later life. In this study, 6,041 PTSD 24,164 age‐ or sex‐matched controls enrolled 2002 2009 our study followed up to the end 2011. Cases identified during follow‐up.

Abstract Phosphorus, despite its abundance in the human body, is rarely found drug molecules, with clinical utility limited to a few phosphonic or bisphosponic acid-based medicines and several phosphonate phosphate-containing prodrugs. Concerns about poor cell penetration, low oral bioavailability, biological instability have application of these functional classes design. In our efforts discover pharmaceuticals novel functionality, we introduced neutral, stable phosphine oxide moiety as...
summary . Antibodies to hepatitis C virus (HCV) may decrease or disappear after viral clearance in treated spontaneously resolved infection. We evaluated the usefulness of serial antibody assays predicting antiviral treatment responses. One hundred and four chronic patients who received 24 weeks interferon ribavirin combination therapy were assayed with a third generation enzyme immunoassay anti‐HCV. The mean titre anti‐HCV decreased by more than 50% (from 89.5 ± 10.8 43.6 17.5) at 48...
Abstract Background: EGFR activating mutations are observed in 10-50% of NSCLC patients. Although the common (L858R [L] and exon 19 deletions [D]) initially sensitive to first-, second-, third-generation inhibitors (e.g., erlotinib [1G], afatinib [2G], osimertinib [3G], respectively), on-target resistance is a substantial percentage patients, with T790M (T) C797S (C) most frequently (post-1G/2G post-3G, respectively). Furthermore, mutational heterogeneity can increase during treatment...
