Journal: The Combination of Afatinib With Dasatinib or Miransertib Results in Synergistic Growth Inhibition of Stomach Cancer Cells. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 28, 2024 Of various human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER) inhibitors, only the anti-HER2 monoclonal antibody (mAb) Herceptin/trastuzumab and the antibody-drug conjugate trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-Dxd) has been approved for the treatment of patients with stomach cancer...Of various HER inhibitors, the irreversible pan-HER family inhibitors (e.g., afatinib) were more effective than the reversible dual epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)/HER2 tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) lapatinib and the EGFR-specific TKI erlotinib in inhibiting the growth of HSCCLs. Of agents targeting different downstream cell signaling molecules, dasatinib targeting Ab1/Src/C-Kit, trametinib targeting MERK1/2 and miransertib targeting AKT1/2/3 inhibited growth of majority of HSCCLs, with the IC50 values ranging from 2 nM to 7

Journal: Pterostilbene Induces Apoptosis from Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Synergistically with Anticancer Drugs That Deposit Iron in Mitochondria. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 17, 2024 We have reported that pterostilbene (PTE), a plant stilbene, enhances the antitumor effect of low doses of sunitinib in gastric cancer cells accumulating mitochondrial iron (II) (mtFe) at low doses...For this study, we used 5-fluorouracil (5FU), cisplatin (CPPD), and lapatinib (LAP), which are frequently used in the treatment of GC, and doxorubicin (DOX), which is known to deposit mtFe...These findings would help in developing novel therapeutic strategies for GC. However, further clinical investigations are required.

Journal: Synthesis, spectroscopic analysis, and computational-based investigations on 'azo-coumarin-Co(II)-galangin' hybrids exhibit multipotential activities. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 15, 2024 Further, the MD-simulation (RMSD, RMSF, Rg, and H-bonds) of the most potential docking complex, 'HER2-6d', showed a minimum deviation similar to the standard drug (lapatinib) at 100?ns, indicating that 6d could be a potential noncovalent anticancer inhibitor...Among all six ligands, 6c and 6d were the two most multipotent therapeutic agents from the above analyses. In summary, this could be a feasible approach towards the utilization of phytochemicals in mainstream therapeutic applications, where bioinformatics tools help to select a lead drug candidate at an early stage and guide for higher experimental success by proceeding with potential candidates.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.
