Sich Eine

Mit Icotinib schickt sich eine weitere, gegen Mutationen des EGF-Rezeptors (EGFRm+) gerichtete Therapie des nicht-kleinzelligen Lungenkarzinoms (NSCLC) an, nach China auch die Zulassung in Europa und USA zu erreichen. Dies berichtete Dr. Sun Yan, Beijing, kürzlich auf der 15. Jahrestagung der Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology (CSCO). Dafür sind allerdings noch einige Verbesserungen am Studiendesign, vor allem bei der molekularen Charakterisierung der Patienten, notwendig, kritisierte Prof. Tony Mok, Honkong.

: Thiophenes are one among the abundantly found heterocyclic ring systems in many biologically active compounds. Moreover various substituted thiophenes exert numerous pharmacological actions on account of their isosteric resemblance with compounds of natural origin thus rendering them with diverse actions like antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antiallergic, hypotensives etc.. In this review we specifically explore the chemotherapeutic potential of variety of structures consisting of thiophene scaffolds as prospective anticancer agents.

Good Concordance

Nonclinical toxicology studies are conducted to characterize the potential toxicities and establish a safe starting dose for new drugs in clinical studies, but the question remains as to how predictable/translatable the nonclinical safety findings are to humans. In many cases, there is good concordance between nonclinical species and patients. However, there are cases for which there is a lack of predictivity or translatability that led to early termination of clinical studies due to unanticipated toxicities or early termination of programs before making it to the clinic due to unacceptable nonclinical toxicities assumed to be translatable. A few case examples of safety findings that are translatable versus safety findings that are not translatable and why they are not translateable were presented as a symposium at the 38th Annual Meeting of the American College of Toxicology in Palm Springs, California, and are discussed in this article.

The objective of this study was to create 3D engineered tissue models to accelerate identification of safe and efficacious breast cancer drug therapies. It is expected that this platform will dramatically reduce the time and costs associated with development and regulatory approval of anti-cancer therapies, currently a multi-billion dollar endeavor [1]. Existing two-dimensional (2D) in vitro and in vivo animal studies required for identification of effective cancer therapies account for much of the high costs of anti-cancer medications and health insurance premiums borne by patients, many of whom cannot afford it. An emerging paradigm in pharmaceutical drug development is the use of three-dimensional (3D) cell/biomaterial models that will accurately screen novel therapeutic compounds, repurpose existing compounds and terminate ineffective ones. In particular, identification of effective chemotherapies for breast cancer are anticipated to occur more quickly in 3D in vitro models than 2D in vitro environments and in vivo animal models, neither of which accurately mimic natural human tumor environments [2]. Moreover, these 3D models can be multi-cellular and designed with extracellular matrix (ECM) function and mechanical properties similar to that of natural in vivo cancer environments [3].
