Abstract Purpose: The selective MET inhibitor capmatinib is being investigated in multiple clinical trials, both as a single agent and combination. Here, we describe the preclinical data of capmatinib, which supported biomarker strategy for rational patient selection. Experimental Design: selectivity cellular activity were assessed large screening panels. Antitumor efficacy was quantified set cell line– or patient-derived xenograft models, testing single-agent combination treatment depending...
FGF-21 is a key regulator of metabolism and potential drug candidate for the treatment type II diabetes other metabolic disorders. However, half-life active, circulating, human has recently been shown to be limited in mice monkeys by proteolytic cleavage between P171 S172. Here, we show that fibroblast activation protein enzyme responsible this proteolysis demonstrating purified FAP cleaves at site vitro, an FAP-specific inhibitor, ARI-3099, blocks activity mouse, monkey plasma prolongs...
Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV; E.C. 3.4.14.5), a serine protease that degrades the incretin hormones GLP-1 and GIP, is now validated target for treatment of type 2 diabetes. Dipeptide boronic acids, among first, still most potent DPP-IV inhibitors known, suffer from concern over their safety. Here we evaluate potency, in vivo efficacy, safety selected set these inhibitors. The adverse effects induced by acid-based are essentially limited to what has been observed previously non-boronic...
Bioactive peptides have evolved to optimally fulfill specific biological functions, a fact which has long attracted attention for their use as therapeutic agents. While there been some recent commercial successes fostered in part by advances large-scale peptide synthesis, development of agents significantly impeded inherent susceptibility protease degradation the bloodstream. Here we report that incorporation specially designed amino acid analogues at P1' position, directly C-terminal enzyme...
Abstract For a majority of patients with non–small cell lung cancer EGFR mutations, treatment inhibitors (EGFRi) induces clinical response. Despite this initial reduction in tumor size, residual disease persists that leads to relapse. Elucidating the preexisting biological differences between sensitive cells and surviving drug-tolerant persister deciphering how evolve response could help identify strategies improve efficacy EGFRi. In study, we tracked origins clonal evolution at high...
