University of Pittsburgh researchers have developed a series of chromane-based hydroxamic acids that have been demonstrated to be potent and selective HDAC inhibitors with potential use as novel anticancer and anti-neurodegenerative agents. · Entirely novel set of histone deacetylase inhibitors. , Topacio, A. Z., Sannino, S., Brodsky, J. L., & Wipf, P.
University of Pittsburgh researchers have synthesized and tested a novel class of Nampt inhibitors in a current study, which shows that they have exhibited excellent potency and ADME properties. · Nampt inhibitors show excellent ADME properties.
Characterization of the interactions of potent allostericinhibitors with glutaminase C, a key enzyme in cancer cell glutamine metabolism. ” Inhibition of glutaminase through antisense, siRNA, and small molecule inhibitors has been shown to lead to a reduction in tumor cell proliferation as well as tumor size reduction in mice and is a promising approach to fighting cancer. A novel series of small molecule inhibitors of kidney-type glutaminase was designed and synthesized.
