Journal ArticleDOI

A potential role for imaging technology in anticancer efficacy evaluations.

TL;DR: Transgenic mice bearing a luciferase reporter mechanism can be used to monitor the tumour microenvironment as well as to signal when transforming events occur, which has the potential to reshape the efficacy evaluations and drug-testing algorithms of the future.
Journal ArticleDOI

Substituted purine analogues define a novel structural class of catalytic topoisomerase II inhibitors.

TL;DR: NSC35866 could antagonize etoposide-induced cytotoxicity and DNA breaks in human and murine cancer cells, confirming that NSC358 66 also functions as a catalytic topoisomerase II inhibitor in cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Development of recombinant adeno-associated virus vectors carrying small interfering RNA (shHec1)-mediated depletion of kinetochore Hec1 protein in tumor cells.

TL;DR: The experiments with rAAV-shRNA vectors demonstrate the utility of producing vectors in invertebrate cells to obtain sufficient concentrations and quantities for solid tumor therapy, and addresses an important requirement for cancer gene therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural Characterization of Inhibitor Complexes with Checkpoint Kinase 2 (Chk2), a Drug Target for Cancer Therapy.

TL;DR: In this article, the catalytic domain structures of Chk2 in complex with a novel series of potent and selective small molecule inhibitors have been reported, which can be exploited for the structure-assisted design of novel chemotherapeutics.
