ZYZ384 suppresses the growth of EGFR?mutant non?small cell lung cancer by activating JNK/MAPK signaling pathway

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

Compound ZYZ384 could selectively inhibit the growth of gefitinib-resistant (G-R) lung cancer cells by activating JNK/MAPK signaling pathway, without affecting that of normal lung epithelial cells. Abstract The emergency of tyrosine kinase inhibitors has remarkably enhanced the clinical outcomes of cancer therapy, especially the use of EGFR inhibitors for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Identification of a 2?phenylthiazole derivative acetylcholinesterase modulator with in vitro antitumor activity in breast cancer cells

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

A new AChE inhibitor named A6 with antitumor activity was identified. A6 significantly disrupted the amino acid metabolism, inhibited migration and invasion and induced apoptosis of MCF-7. A6 affected the whole genome pattern. A6 play anticancer role by regulating Best1 and HIST1H2BJ. Abstract Acetylcholinesterase (AchE) is a serine hydrolase with classical function to degrade acetylcholine and terminate neurotransmission.

Bruceine A inhibited breast cancer proliferation and metastasis by inducing autophagy via targeting PI3K?AKT signaling pathway

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

Bruceine A (BA) inhibits breast cancer proliferation and metastasis through inducing autophagy by targeting PI3K-AKT pathway. Abstract Although there have been significant advances in cancer treatment, the urgent need to inhibit breast cancer metastasis remained unmet. Bruceine A (BA) is a natural compound extracted from Bruceae Fructus and has long been recognized to have antitumor effects with high safety and biocompatibility.
