Journal ArticleDOI
Glivec (STI571, imatinib), a rationally developed, targeted anticancer drug
TL;DR: This work describes how this drug discovery programme led to the discovery and continuing development of Glivec (Gleevec in the United States), the first selective tyrosine-kinase inhibitor to be approved for the treatment of a cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
A derivative of staurosporine (CGP 41 251) shows selectivity for protein kinase C inhibition and In vitro anti‐proliferative as well as In vivo anti‐tumor activity
Thomas Meyer,Urs Regenass,Doriano Fabbro,E. Alteri,J. Rösel,Marcel Müller,Giorgio Caravatti,Alex Matter +7 more
TL;DR: An association between PKC inhibition and anti‐proliferative and anti-tumor activity is suggested and staurosporine and CGP 41 251 exerted growth inhibition in the human bladder carcinoma line T‐24, human promyelocytic leukemia line HL‐60 and bovine corneal endothelial cells at concentrations which correlated well with in vitroPKC inhibition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wnt addiction of genetically defined cancers reversed by PORCN inhibition
Babita Madan,Zhiyuan Ke,Nathan Harmston,Soo Yei Ho,A O Frois,Jenefer Alam,Duraiswamy Athisayamani Jeyaraj,Vishal Pendharkar,Kakaly Ghosh,I H Virshup,Vithya Manoharan,Esther Hq Ong,Kanda Sangthongpitag,Jeffrey Hill,Enrico Petretto,Thomas H. Keller,May Ann Lee,Alex Matter,David M. Virshup,David M. Virshup +19 more
TL;DR: A novel potent, orally available PORCN inhibitor, ETC-1922159, that blocks the secretion and activity of all Wnts is developed that is remarkably effective in treating RSPO-translocation bearing colorectal cancer patient-derived xenografts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Markers of tumor angiogenesis and proteolysis independently define high- and low-risk subsets of node-negative breast cancer patients.
Urs Eppenberger,Willy Kueng,J M Schlaeppi,J L Roesel,Christopher C. Benz,Heinz Mueller,Alex Matter,M Zuber,K Luescher,M Litschgi,Manfred Schmitt,John A. Foekens,Serenella Eppenberger-Castori +12 more
TL;DR: Separate primary and validating clinical studies concur that tumor VEGF level is the most important prognostic parameter among several markers of tumor angiogenesis and proteolysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mouse thymus-independent and thymus-derived lymphoid cells : i. immunofluorescent and functional studies
TL;DR: The simultaneous use on mouse lymphoid suspensions of heterologous antisera directed against thymus-derived (T) cell mouse-specific lymphocyte antigen and brain-associated theta antigen and MBLA surface antigens allowed direct proof of the different specificity of these antisona by double immunofluorescence (IF) staining with selective visualization of fluorochromes.
