Antiproliferative effects, Mechanism of Action and Tumor Reduction Studies in a Lung Cancer Xenograft Mouse Model of an Organometallic Gold(I) Alkynyl Complex

Organometallic complexes offer a wide range of properties like structural variety, reaction kinetics, tunable lipophilicity and alternate mechanisms of activation under physiological conditions compared to platinum chemotherapeutics and are thus being explored for their potential anticancer applications. In this regard, gold(Ⅰ) organometallics hold a pivotal position for their ability to act on biological targets different… Continue reading Antiproliferative effects, Mechanism of Action and Tumor Reduction Studies in a Lung Cancer Xenograft Mouse Model of an Organometallic Gold(I) Alkynyl Complex

Thiophosphate Bioisosteres of Inositol Hexakisphosphate Enhances Binding Affinity and Residence Time to Bacterial Virulence Factors.

Inositol phosphates are essential for mammalian cell signalling with critical roles in cellular processes. The fully phosphorylated inositol phosphate, myo-inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6), modulates numerous eukaryotic proteins and bacterial virulence factors. It has been suggested that the high charge density of IP6 causes restructuring of virulence factors in mammalian cells, activating their enzymatic activity. IP6 is… Continue reading Thiophosphate Bioisosteres of Inositol Hexakisphosphate Enhances Binding Affinity and Residence Time to Bacterial Virulence Factors.

Immunotherapy’s “Sweet” Future: Wrapping up AACR IO 2025 With Glyco-immunology 

The closing keynote session of the inaugural AACR IO painted an exciting picture of the emerging frontier of glyco-immunology, with Jessica Stark, PhD, and Gabriel Rabinovich, PhD, highlighting the profound immunological influence of glycans and the potential power of targeting glyco-immune checkpoints. Earlier on the final day of the conference, held February 23-26 in Los… Continue reading Immunotherapy’s “Sweet” Future: Wrapping up AACR IO 2025 With Glyco-immunology
