This study examined the effects of microtubule-targeting anticancer drugs (paclitaxel, cabazitaxel, and eribulin) on the expression of drug efflux transporter P-glycoprotein, which is encoded by MDR1. Paclitaxel and eribulin induced MDR1 promoter activity in a concentration-dependent manner, while cabazitaxel had little effect in human intestinal epithelial LS174T cells. Overexpression of the nuclear receptor pregnane X receptor (PXR) gene (NR1I2) enhanced paclitaxel- and eribulin-induced MDR1 activation, but expression of the nuclear receptor co-repressor silencing mediator for retinoid and thyroid receptors (SMRT) gene (NCOR2) repressed MDR1 activation. Eribulin increased the mRNA and protein expression of P-glycoprotein in LS174T cells. Cellular uptake of rhodamine 123 and calcein-acetoxymethyl ester (calcein-AM), P-glycoprotein substrates, decreased in paclitaxel- or eribulin-treated LS174T cells. Eribulin also increased MDR1 promoter activity in human breast cancer MCF7 cells. The results suggest that the microtubule-targeting anticancer drug eribulin can induce the drug efflux transporter P-glycoprotein via PXR in human intestinal and breast cancer cells and thus influence the efficacy of anticancer drugs. 相似文献

Chemoproteomics represents a new research discipline at the interface of medicinal chemistry, biochemistry, and cell biology focused on studying the molecular mechanisms of action of drugs and other bioactive small molecules. Research strategies frequently combine phenotypic screening with subsequent target identification, and aim at a proteome-wide characterization of drug-induced changes in cellular protein expression and post-translational modifications. In recent years quantitative mass spectrometry has taken center stage in many of these approaches. This review describes experimental strategies in current chemical proteomics research, discusses recent examples of successful applications, and highlights areas in drug discovery where chemical proteomics-based assays using native endogenous proteins are expected to have substantial impact. 相似文献

Several fatal, progressive neurodegenerative diseases, including various prion and prion-like disorders, are connected with the misfolding of specific proteins. These proteins misfold into toxic oligomeric species and a spectrum of distinct self-templating amyloid structures, termed strains. Hence, small molecules that prevent or reverse these protein-misfolding events might have therapeutic utility. Yet it is unclear whether a single small molecule can antagonize the complete repertoire of misfolded forms encompassing diverse amyloid polymorphs and soluble oligomers. We have begun to investigate this issue using the yeast prion protein Sup35 as an experimental paradigm. We have discovered that a polyphenol, (−)epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), effectively inhibited the formation of infectious amyloid forms (prions) of Sup35 and even remodeled preassembled prions. Surprisingly, EGCG selectively modulated specific prion strains and even selected for EGCG-resistant prion strains with novel structural and biological characteristics. Thus, treatment with a single small molecule antagonist of amyloidogenesis can select for novel, drug-resistant amyloid polymorphs. Importantly, combining EGCG with another small molecule, 4,5-bis-(4-methoxyanilino)phthalimide, synergistically antagonized and remodeled a wide array of Sup35 prion strains without producing any drug-resistant prions. We suggest that minimal drug cocktails, small collections of drugs that collectively antagonize all amyloid polymorphs, should be identified to besiege various neurodegenerative disorders.Key words: amyloid, yeast prion, Sup35, prion strains, EGCG, DAPH-12 相似文献

The hepatic elimination of phenytoin has been studied in the isolated rat liver perfused at constant flow with Krebs solution alone and in the presence of albumin. At an albumin concentration of 0.5 g/dl, 46.6% of the phenytoin was bound in the perfusate and the comparable value at 5.0 g/dl was 87.4%. The increase in binding resulted in a reduction in the hepatic extraction ratio from 0.67 in Krebs to 0.54 and 0.28 at the two albumin concentrations, respectively. Analysis of this data together with that from the literature on propranolol and warfarin indicated that they were consistent with the perfusion-limited model of hepatic clearance. Accordingly, the general relationship between the extraction ratio and the free fraction of drug in the blood is hyperbolic with the precise shape being determined by the ratio of the clearance of the drug from liver water to the hepatic blood flow rate. 相似文献

Previous analysis of systems pharmacology has revealed a tendency of rational drug design in the pharmaceutical industry. The targets of new drugs tend to be close with the corresponding disease genes in the biological networks. However, it remains unclear whether the rational drug design introduces disadvantages, i.e. side effects. Therefore, it is important to dissect the relationship between rational drug design and drug side effects. Based on a recently released drug side effect database, SIDER, here we analyzed the relationship between drug side effects and the rational drug design. We revealed that the incidence drug side effect is significantly associated with the network distance of drug targets and diseases genes. Drugs with the distances of three or four have the smallest incidence of side effects, whereas drugs with the distances of more than four or smaller than three show significantly greater incidence of side effects. Furthermore, protein drugs and small molecule drugs show significant differences. Drugs hitting membrane targets and drugs hitting cytoplasm targets also show differences. Failure drugs because of severe side effects show smaller network distances than approved drugs. These results suggest that researchers should be prudent on rationalizing the drug design. Too small distances between drug targets and diseases genes may not always be advantageous for rational design for drug discovery. 相似文献

Drug metabolism can be a key determinant of drug toxicity. A nontoxic parent drug may be biotransformed by drug metabolizing enzymes to toxic metabolites (metabolic activation). Conversely, a toxic drug may be biotransformed to nontoxic metabolites (detoxification). The approaches to evaluate metabolism-based drug toxicity include the identification of toxic metabolites and the evaluation of toxicity in metabolically competent and metabolically compromised systems. A clear understanding of the role of drug metabolism in toxicity can aid the identification of risk factors that may potentiate drug toxicity, and may provide key information for the development of safe drugs. 相似文献

Antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) have emerged as a viable option in targeted delivery of highly potent cytotoxic drugs in treatment of solid tumors. At the time of writing, only two ADCs have received regulatory approval with >40 others in clinical development. The first generation ADCs suffered from a lack of specificity in amino acid site-conjugations, yielding statistically heterogeneous stoichiometric ratios of drug molecules per antibody molecule. For the second generation ADCs, however, site-specific amino acid conjugation using enzymatic ligation, introduction of unnatural amino acids, and site-specific protein engineering hold promise to alleviate some of the current technical limitations. The rapid progress in technology platforms and antibody engineering has introduced novel linkers, site-specific conjugation chemistry, and new payload candidates that could possibly be exploited in the context of ADCs. A search using the Clinical Trial Database registry (www.clinicaltrials.gov), using the keyword ‘antibody drug conjugate’, yielded ~270 hits. The main focus of this article is to present a brief overview of the recent developments and current challenges related to ADC development. 相似文献
