Abstract Purpose: The mesenchymal–epithelial transition factor (c-Met) receptor, also known as hepatocyte growth receptor (HGFR), controls morphogenesis, a process that is physiologically required for embryonic development and tissue repair. Aberrant c-Met activation associated with variety of human malignancies including cancers the lung, kidney, stomach, liver, brain. In this study, we investigated properties two novel compounds developed to selectively inhibit in antitumor therapeutic...
Proteasomes are broadly expressed key components of the ubiquitin-dependent protein degradation pathway containing catalytically active subunits (β1, β2, and β5). LMP7 (β5i) is a subunit immunoproteasome, an inducible isoform that predominantly in hematopoietic cells. Clinically effective pan-proteasome inhibitors for treatment multiple myeloma (MM) nonselectively target other constitutive proteasome immunoproteasome with comparable potency, which can limit therapeutic applicability these...
Abstract Large multifunctional peptidase 7 (LMP7/β5i/PSMB8) is a proteolytic subunit of the immunoproteasome, which predominantly expressed in normal and malignant hematolymphoid cells, including multiple myeloma, contributes to degradation ubiquitinated proteins. Described herein for first time preclinical profile M3258; an orally bioavailable, potent, reversible highly selective LMP7 inhibitor. M3258 demonstrated strong antitumor efficacy myeloma xenograft models, novel model human bone...
The RON tyrosine kinase receptor is under investigation as a novel target in pancreatic cancer. While mutations are uncommon, isoforms produced cancer cells via variety of mechanisms. In this study we sought to: 1) characterize isoform expression cancer, 2) investigate mechanisms that regulate expression, and 3) determine how various effect gene oncogenic phenotypes responses to directed therapies. We quantified transcripts human found levels 2500 fold normal pancreas with comprising nearly...
The elongated structures of polyamine inverse agonists such as 1,12-diaminododecane (N12N) and 5-(4-aminobutyl)-2-thiopheneoctanamine (N4T8N) lend themselves to a combinatorial chemistry approach explore potential pharmacophore at the NMDA receptor. Herein we describe more than 100 new analogues N4T8N obtained by breaking up long octanamine arm into dipeptide chain equivalent length. Solid-phase parallel synthesis based on cross-linked polystyrene Wang anchor allowed low-scale preparation...
Abstract Large multifunctional peptidase 7 (LMP7, β5i, PSMB8) is a chymotrypsin-like proteolytic subunit of the immunoproteasome, which degrades ubiquitinated proteins and generates peptides for presentation on MHC class I. In contrast to constitutive proteasome, broadly expressed, immunoproteasome specifically present in normal malignant hematopoietic cells can be induced non-hematopoietic by inflammatory stimuli such as IFNγ. Pan-proteasome inhibitors like Bortezomib, approved multiple...
Abstract Proteasomes are large multi-subunit proteolytic complexes which key components of the ubiquitin-dependent protein degradation pathway. The constitutive proteasome is an isoform expressed in most tissues, where it regulates homeostasis. In contrast, immunoproteasome predominantly hematopoietic cells and can be induced non-hematopoietic by inflammatory stimuli such as IFNγ. contains catalytically different subunits β1c, β2c β5c, possess caspase-like, trypsin-like chymotrypsin-like...
Abstract c-Met, the receptor for hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), is a well characterized tyrosine kinase, which crucial cell functions, such as survival, proliferation, motility and migration. Activating point mutations of c-Met have been identified in human malignancies, including renal carcinoma lung cancer constitutive activation HGF/c-Met pathway leads to tumor development progression animal models. In light these findings, has become key target oncology therapeutics. order develop...
Intracellular distribution of drug compounds is dependent on physicochemical characteristics and may have a significant bearing the extent target occupancy and, ultimately, efficacy. We assessed differences in profiles MET inhibitors capmatinib, crizotinib, savolitinib, tepotinib their effects cell viability phosphorylation under steady-state washout conditions (to mimic an open organic system) human lung cancer line. To examine underlying molecular mechanisms at receptor level, we...
