Factors influencing the Central Nervous System (CNS) distribution of the ATR inhibitor elimusertib (BAY1895344): Implications for the treatment of CNS tumors [Metabolism, Transport, and Pharmacogenetics]

ASPET

SEPTEMBER 16, 2024

Standard of care GBM therapies include radiation and cytotoxic chemotherapy that lead to DNA damage. Subsequent activation of DNA damage response (DDR) pathways can induce resistance. Elimusertib, a novel ATR kinase inhibitor, can prevent repair of damaged DNA, increasing efficacy of DNA damaging cytotoxic therapies.

JUNE 10, 2024

Radiation therapy, a standard treatment option for many cancer patients, induces DNA double strand breaks (DSBs), leading to cell death. Efficacy of radiosensitizers for brain tumors may be influenced by a lack of effective drug delivery across the blood-brain barrier (BBB).
