TAK-901 targeted inhibition of EGFR activates transcription factor FOXO causing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in bladder cancer. (PubMed, Mol Cancer Ther)
Finally, we propose a novel treatment strategy involving the synergistic inhibition of bladder cancer cell growth by combining TAK-901 with Afatinib. Our research strongly suggests that Aurora A and Aurora B are promising epigenetic therapeutic targets in bladder cancer. Furthermore, TAK-901 can function as a targeted kinase inhibitor and EGFR inhibitor for the treatment of bladder cancer by activating the FOXO signaling pathway, which induces apoptosis in bladder cancer cells.

Structure-based identification of Jervine as a potent dual-targeting inhibitor of cell cycle kinases. (PubMed, Front Pharmacol)
Lastly, MMPBSA showed a higher negative free energy in the presence of Jervine than VX-680 when complexed with AURKB. Finally, our results suggest that Jervine is a potent, dual-targeting kinase inhibitor with favourable pharmacokinetic and therapeutic properties, warranting further experimental validation for anticancer drug development.

The regulation of organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B1 by nonreceptor tyrosine kinase YES1. (PubMed, Drug Metab Dispos)
In this study, OATP1B1 uptake function was found to be significantly suppressed by SRC proto-oncogene, non-receptor tyrosine kinase family kinase inhibitors, with SU6656 demonstrating the most potent inhibitory effect...Abrogation of Caveolin-1 exhibited no effect on the interaction between YES-1 and OATP1B1 but reduced the phosphorylation level of the transporter. Taken together, inhibitors of YES-1 may alter the uptake function of OATP1B1, potentially leading to drug-drug interactions related to post-translational modification.

Functional characterization and clinical significance of IGSF8 in pan-cancer: an integrated bioinformatic and experimental study. (PubMed, Front Immunol)
Drug sensitivity analysis identified BX-795 and tozasertib as potential treatments for tumors with high IGSF8 expression. Knockdown of IGSF8 significantly inhibited the proliferation ability of prostate cancer cells. Our findings indicated that IGSF8 might be used as a potential prognostic marker and therapeutic target for various cancers.

Optimization of Novel Quinazolines as Potent Aurora Kinase Inhibitors for Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Treatment. (PubMed, J Med Chem)
Mechanistic studies using immunoblotting, immunofluorescence staining, and flow cytometry showed that 9h outperforms ENMD-2076 in inhibiting Aurora A kinase activation, preventing spindle formation, arresting the cell cycle, and inducing cell apoptosis. Thus, 9h has the potential for further optimization and is a promising anticancer drug candidate.

Exploring common genomic biomarkers to disclose common drugs for the treatment of colorectal cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma with type-2 diabetes through transcriptomics analysis. (PubMed, PLoS One)
Finally, cGBs-guided seven candidate drugs (Digitoxin, Camptosar, AMG-900, Imatinib, Irinotecan, Midostaurin, and Linsitinib) as the common treatment against T2D, CRC and HCC were identified through molecular docking, cross-validation, and ADME/T (Absorption-Distribution-Metabolism-Excretion-Toxicity) analysis. Most of these findings received support by the literature review of diseases specific individual studies. Thus, this study offers valuable insights for researchers and clinicians to improve the diagnosis and treatment of CRC and/or HCC patients during the co-occurrence of T2D.

Immune regulatory genes impact the hot/cold tumor microenvironment, affecting cancer treatment and patient outcomes. (PubMed, Front Immunol)
Finally, dasatinib and tozasertib were identified as drug candidates capable of converting cold pancreatic adenocarcinoma tumors into hot tumors. In this study, we developed a framework for discerning clinically significant immune subtypes across various cancer types, further identifying several potential targets for converting cold tumors into hot tumors to enhance anticancer treatment efficacy.

Molecular simulations and machine learning methods for the identification of novel aurora A kinase inhibitors. (PubMed, J Biomol Struct Dyn)
Both docking studies revealed perfect binding of all identified ligands in active site pockets of AAK protein with similar amino acids of active sites as compared with standard BindingDB_50433632 compound and co-crystal ligand VX-680 binding mode of AAK protein. Therefore, it can be concluded that computational drug discovery approaches are meticulously implemented to identify potential AAKs inhibitors/modulators, and credential of the work was substantiated through the identification of three potential AAKs inhibitors/modulators that may hold significant promise for improving cancer management, however, need extensive biological assays or pre-clinical trials for assessing the efficacy profile of the identified compounds.
