ispinesib (SB-715992)

Moreover, treatment of human ex vivo GBM slices with ispinesib demonstrates phenotypic alignment with in vitro responses, underscoring the clinical relevance of our findings. Finally, using retrospective lineage tracing, we identify drugs that are synergistic with ispinesib.

Combinational targeting of kinesins (ispinesib) with cabazitaxel was more effective than single monotherapies in inducing cell death in resistant prostate tumors. Implications: Our findings are of translational significance in identifying kinesin as a novel target of cross-resistance, towards enhancing therapeutic vulnerability and improved clinical outcomes in patients with advanced prostate cancer.

This study investigated the potential anticancer activity of some novel quinazolinone derivatives that were designed on the structural framework of two approved anticancer drugs, Ispinesib (KSP inhibitor) and Idelalisib (PI3Kδ inhibitor), to find out solutions for TNBC. The relative gene expression of pro-apoptotic and anti-apoptotic genes revealed an overexpression of the P53 and BAX genes and a downregulation of the BCL-2 gene by real-time PCR. So, this work proved that compounds 3a, 3b, and 3e could be developed as anticancer candidates, via their P53-dependent apoptotic activity.

This study highlighted the significance of CAFs in breast cancer biology and provided compelling evidence of their impact on patient outcomes and treatment response. The findings offer valuable insights into the potential of CAFs as prognostic and predictive biomarkers and support the development of CAF-targeted therapies to improve breast cancer management.

The freshly prepared mixture was then incubated VIP716 and ispinesib, a clinical stage KSPi. Additionally, toxicology in non-human primates and in vivo TK studies confirm safety, favorable drug exposures, and little non-specific release of the payload. Based on these data, evaluation of VIP943 in human clinical trials is warranted.

Standard of care includes surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy with the DNA alkylating agent temozolomide (TMZ). Critical for the translation of this approach, we validated that combination therapy with ispinesib and irradiation led to the greatest increase in survival over either monotherapy alone. Our data highlight KIF11 inhibition in combination with radiotherapy as a new combinatorial approach that reduces the overall radioresistance of GBM and which can readily be moved into clinical trials.

In conclusion, CRGs may play important roles in TNBC development, and they can impact tumor immune microenvironment and patient survival. The Key-TNBC-CRGs interact mutually and can be influenced by common BC-related mutations. Additionally, we established a 11-gene risk model with a robust performance in prediction of 5-15-year survival. As well, some new drugs are proposed potentially effective in TNBC based on the CRG strategy.

As inhibitors for combination therapy, we used ciprofloxacin, paprotrain, ispinesib and SR31527. The combination of inhibitors against both, KIFC1 and MCM6 with PD resulted in a synergistic inhibition of cell growth. We have identified 2 molecular targets whose inhibition has promising potential for effective combination therapies with the CDK4/6 inhibitor palbociclib.

Preclinically, our results indicate feasibility of ispinesib treatment in MB, specifically aggressive Group 3 MB. Importantly, p53-mutant SHH MB represents a poor molecular-subtype candidate for ispinesib therapy.

This study developed a robust IGS model for survival prediction of HCC patients, providing new insights into integrating tailored risk stratification with precise immunotherapy and screening potentially targeted agents.

This study reveals the crucial role of macrophage-naive CD4 + T cell interaction in the immunosuppressive microenvironment of liver carcinoma. Tumor-associated macrophages may be derived from cirrhosis and can initiate liver carcinoma. Predictive drugs that target the macrophage-naive CD4 + T cell interaction may help to improve the immunosuppressive microenvironment and prevent immune evasion. The relevant mechanisms need to be further validated in experiments and cohort studies.

We have shown that one of these, a potent inhibitor of the mitotic kinesin Kif11 (ispinesib), is highly active against GBM tumor initiating cells and prolongs survival in murine models of this disease...Furthermore, we find that resistance to several other mitotic inhibitors also utilizes this STAT3-driven mechanism and can likewise be reversed with combined EGFR and SRC inhibition. Thus, our work demonstrates how a promising therapeutic approach, which has been disappointing in GBM, can in fact be rendered effective by anticipating and prospectively treating ab initio the mechanism that drives treatment resistance.

Simultaneously inhibiting SRC and EGFR reverses this resistance, and combined targeting of these two kinases in vivo with clinically available inhibitors is synergistic and significantly prolongs survival in ispinesib-treated GBM-bearing mice. We thus identify a translationally actionable approach to overcoming Kif11 inhibitor resistance that may work to block STAT3-driven resistance against other anti-cancer therapies as well.

Together, we suggest WS6, ispinesib, ponatinib and cabozantinib as novel options for targeting FLT3-ITD AML. Whether combinatorial tyrosine kinase and kinesin spindle blockade is effective in eradicating neoplastic (stem) cells in FLT3-ITD AML remains to be determined in clinical trials.

Our approach overcomes this challenge. We discovered ispinesib is efficacious against two embryonal brain tumor types.

Therapeutic targeting of Kif11 to block the Id1-Kif11 axis was carried out using small molecular inhibitor ispinesib...This work opens up exciting new possibilities of targeting Id targets such as Kif11 in the TNBC subtype, which is currently refractory to chemotherapy. Targeting the Id1-Kif11 molecular pathway in the Id1+ CSCs in combination with chemotherapy and small molecular inhibitor results in more effective debulking of TNBC.
