Understanding the Species Selectivity of Myeloid Cell Leukemia-1 (Mcl-1) Inhibitors.

TL;DR: To test for on target toxicity of a new chemical entity, it is important to have comparable binding affinities of the compound in the target proteins from humans and the test species, and to evaluate the myeloid cell leukemia-1 (Mcl-1) inhibitors, they were tested against rodent MCl-1 and found a significant loss of binding affinity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synergistic action of WDR5 and HDM2 inhibitors in SMARCB1-deficient cancer cells

TL;DR: A p53-independent action of WIN site inhibitors is revealed and it is forecast that future strategies to treat RT could be based on dual WDR5/HDM2 inhibition.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Bcl-2 Family Inhibitor ABT-263 Shows Significant but Reversible Thrombocytopenia in Mice.

TL;DR: The results showed a rapid, dose-dependent reduction in circulating platelet counts with a platelet nadir (>80% reduction relative to baseline) occurring approximately 6 hours after a single 100 mg/kg oral dose of ABT-263.
Journal ArticleDOI

Preparation of biologically active ristocetin derivatives: replacements of the 1′-amino group

TL;DR: A series of ristocetin analogues with modifications at the C-1' amino group was synthesized and found to possess antibacterial activity against gram-positive bacteria and to bind to Ac2-Lys-D-Ala-DAla, a model for the antibiotic's site of action as discussed by the authors.
