Following the discovery of NVP-BEZ235, our first dual pan-PI3K/mTOR clinical compound, we sought to identify additional phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitors from different chemical classes with a selectivity profile. The key achieve these objectives was couple structure-based design approach intensive pharmacologic evaluation selected compounds during medicinal chemistry optimization process.

Abstract Purpose: PIM kinases have been shown to act as oncogenes in mice, with each family member being able drive progression of hematologic cancers. Consistent this, we found that PIMs are highly expressed human cancers and show isoform has a distinct expression pattern among disease subtypes. This suggests inhibitors all three would be effective treating multiple malignancies. Experimental Design: Pan-PIM proven difficult develop because PIM2 low Km for ATP and, thus, requires very...

RAS oncogenes have been implicated in >30% of human cancers, all representing high unmet medical need. The exquisite dependency on CRAF kinase KRAS mutant tumors has established genetically engineered mouse models and tumor cells. To date, many small molecule approaches are under investigation to target CRAF, yet kinase-selective cellular potent inhibitors remain challenging identify.

Abstract Features intrinsic to disorder and network aspects are ubiquitous in structural glasses. Among this important class of materials, chalcogenide glasses special—they built short‐range covalent forces, making them simpler than silicate that possess mixed ionic forces. Selenium‐based also display complex elastic phase transitions have been described from various models, including mean‐field approaches molecular simulations. These point the presence two sharply defined transitions, a...

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are important sensors of the innate immune system that recognize conserved structural motifs and activate cells via a downstream signaling cascade. The CD180/MD1 molecular complex is an unusual member TLR family, since it lacks components normally required for signal transduction by other TLRs. Therefore CD180/MD 1 has been considered being incapable independently initiating cellular signals. Using chemogenetic approaches we identified specifically membrane bound...
