Journal ArticleDOI

SU11248 is a novel FLT3 tyrosine kinase inhibitor with potent activity in vitro and in vivo.

TL;DR: The in vivo efficacy of SU11248 (20 mg/kg/d) dramatically regresses FLT3-ITD tumors in the subcutaneous tumor xenograft model and prolongs survival in the bone marrow engraftment model, suggesting that further exploration of SU 11248 activity in AML patients is warranted.
Journal Article

SU11248 inhibits KIT and platelet-derived growth factor receptor beta in preclinical models of human small cell lung cancer.

TL;DR: It is suggested that SU11248 may have clinical potential in the treatment of SCLC via direct antitumor activity mediated via KIT as well as tumor angiogenesis via vascular endothelial growth factor receptor FLK1/KDR and PDGFRbeta.
Journal ArticleDOI

In vivo Antitumor Activity of MEK and Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase Inhibitors in Basal-Like Breast Cancer Models

TL;DR: The studies suggest that single-agent MEK inhibition is a promising therapeutic modality for basal-like breast cancers with intact PTEN, and also provide a basis for rational combination of MEK and PI3K inhibitors in basal- like cancers with both intact and deleted PTEN.
Journal ArticleDOI

Akt inhibition promotes autophagy and sensitizes PTEN-null tumors to lysosomotropic agents

TL;DR: It is shown that silencing Akt1 alone, or any combination of Akt isoforms, can suppress the growth of tumors established from phosphatase and tensin homologue–null human cancer cells, and suggests that blocking lysosomal degradation can be detrimental to cancer cell survival when autophagy is activated.
