Identification and Validation of RORC as a Circadian Rhythm-Related Biomarker in Gastric Cancer. (PubMed, Int J Gen Med)
Drug sensitivity analysis indicates that the RORC gene is responsive to agents such as VX-680, MG-132, and Sunitinib. Cell biology experiments have confirmed that RORC overexpression significantly diminishes the proliferation, invasion, and migration capabilities of gastric cancer cells. Integrating bioinformatics and cell biology experiments suggests that RORC, a gene associated with rhythm regulation, acts as a tumor suppressor gene that is underexpressed in gastric cancer, thereby serving as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target for this malignancy.

Integrative In Silico Multi-Omics Profiling of circRNA-Mediated ceRNA Networks Reveals Prognostic Biomarkers and Repurposed Therapeutic Candidates in Gastric Cancer. (PubMed, Int J Mol Sci)
To explore therapeutic implications, transcriptomics-guided drug repositioning combined with molecular docking analysis identified five candidate compounds-celastrol, fedratinib, pevonedistat, tozasertib, and withaferin A-predicted to target key network hubs. Overall, this in silico study provides a ceRNA-centered regulatory framework for GC and prioritizes biologically informed biomarkers and repositioned drug candidates with potential applicability across other malignancies to converge precision oncology.

A demethylation-driven gene signature predicts prognosis and therapeutic vulnerability in hepatocellular carcinoma. (PubMed, Sci Rep)
Drug sensitivity prediction indicated that high-risk patients may respond better to agents such as Tozasertib and Navitoclax. This study establishes a robust, demethylation-driven six-gene signature that effectively stratifies HCC patients into distinct prognostic groups. The model integrates multi-omic insights into tumor biology and therapeutic vulnerability, providing a clinically actionable framework for personalized risk assessment and treatment planning in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Identification of 2 Ubiquitin-Proteasome System-Related Subtypes in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma for Prognostic and Immunotherapeutic Response Prediction. (PubMed, J Immunother)
Selumetinib, entinostat, and erlotinib were identified as candidate drugs for cluster 2, whereas tozasertib, alpelisib, and cediranib showed higher suitability for cluster 1. Ten potential biomarkers, 13 transcription factors, and 2 miRNAs were characterized. This study elucidates the role of UPS in ESCC progression and provides a framework for personalized treatment strategies.

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.

Multiomics profiling Identifies MCMBP as a prognostic biomarker and a potential immune-related target in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma via the JAK-STAT3 pathway. (PubMed, Front Immunol)
High MCMBP expression was ass-ociated with sensitivity to Gemcitabine combined with Paclitaxel, as well as small mo-lecules such as Tozasertib and Motesanib. Overexpression of MCMBP may serve as a prognostic biomarker and p-otential therapeutic target in PAAD. It drives PAAD progression by activating the JAK-STAT3 pathway to upregulate PD-L1.

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.

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.
