Abstract Restoration of the tumor suppressor function tumor-associated p53 mutants, including Y220C substitution, has posed a significant challenge for therapeutic discovery. Here, we describe rezatapopt (PC14586), part series compounds designed to reactivate mutant. These restore by correcting its conformation and enabling it bind DNA activate downstream target genes, thus inducing anti-proliferative changes in cells. Our findings are supported biochemical structural analysis, vitro vivo...

Abstract The sparse vascularity of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) presents a mystery: What prevents this aggressive malignancy from undergoing neoangiogenesis to counteract hypoxia and better support growth? An incidental finding prior work on paracrine communication between malignant PDAC cells fibroblasts revealed that inhibition the Hedgehog (HH) pathway partially relieved angiosuppression, increasing tumor through unknown mechanisms. Initial efforts study phenotype were hindered...
