Inhibitory effect of vemurafenib combined with panobinostat on human anaplastic thyroid cancer cells. (PubMed, Pak J Pharm Sci)
Ve combined with Pa exerts a synergistic inhibitory effect on the growth and metastasis of FRO and ARO cells, while promoting apoptosis and cellular redifferentiation. This combination may provide a potential therapeutic strategy for ATC.

Design, synthesis and antiproliferative, apoptotic, and immunomodulatory properties of new heteroaryl pyridine-linked 1,2,4-oxadiazoles as prospective dual EGFR/BRAFV600E inhibitors. (PubMed, RSC Adv)
Compounds 20c and 21c exhibited potent inhibition of EGFR, with IC50 values of 71 and 64 nM, respectively, surpassing the reference erlotinib (IC50 = 80 nM). Moreover, compounds 20c and 21c exhibited BRAFV600E inhibitory action with IC50 values of 49 and 41 nM, respectively, which are somewhat less potent than the reference drug Vemurafenib...Compounds 20c and 21c showed a notable decrease in TNF-α and IL-6 levels compared with dexamethasone, suggesting an immunomodulatory effect. Molecular docking further validated the favorable orientation of 20c and 21c within the ATP-binding pocket of EGFR and BRAFV600E. These findings underscore compounds 20c and 21c as innovative dual-target scaffolds with significant promise for anticancer drug development.

FGD1 guanine nucleotide exchange factor drives secondary resistance to BRAF inhibition in melanoma. (PubMed, Melanoma Res)
Furthermore, we show that secondary resistance induced by prolonged exposure of melanoma cells to BRAF inhibitor is associated with reduced FGD1 levels. These findings highlight the importance of FGD1 in melanoma progression and the acquisition of secondary resistance, positioning the FGD1-mediated signaling pathway as a putative therapeutic target.

Combinational Inhibition of the eIF4F Complex, AKT1, and EZH2 Enhances Anticancer Effects in BRAFV600E Mutant A375 Melanoma Cells. (PubMed, Oncol Res)
Melanoma A375 (vemurafenib [VEM]-sensitive) and A375R (VEM-resistant) cells were exposed to eIF4Fi RocA at varying doses and durations in vitro...Combined CR-1-31-B, EZH2i, and AKT1i effectively overcame resistance to RocA and VEM resistance both in vitro and in vivo. The eIF4F complex inhibitor reactivates ERK1/2-EZH2 and AKT1 signaling pathways, resulting in resistance to both eIF4Fi and VEM. Combined administration of an eIF4Fi with EZH2 and AKT1 inhibitors effectively enhances sensitivity to both eIF4F complex and BRAF inhibitors.
