Discovery of Small Molecule PD‐L1 Inhibitors via Optimization of Solvent‐Interaction Region for Cancer Immunotherapy

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

A series of small molecule PD-L1 inhibitors was discovered via optimization of the solvent-interaction region. GJ19 showed the most potent anti-PD-L1 effects with an IC 50 of 32.06 nM. GJ19 (i.p., 15 mg/kg) effectively suppressed tumor growth with a TGI of 56.8% in a B16-F10 melanoma mouse model. ABSTRACT Despite extensive research, the topic of anti-PD-L1 small-molecule inhibitors remains elusive.

Targeting Cancer Cell Proliferation Using Piperazine‐Linked Quinolinequinones: Mechanism and Metabolic Profile

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

We examined the quinolinequinones' ( QQ1- 7 ) effects on cancer cell lines. The most potent compound was QQ1 against ACHN cells with an IC50 value of 1.5 ± 0.16 μM. For better understanding, the effects of QQ1 on apoptosis, cell cycle, and oxidative stress were investigated. QQ1 inhibited ACHN cell proliferation via cell cycle arrest. The host-guest interactions of quinolinequinones were also studied in detail using thorough in silico docking simulations with pharmacokinetic studies.

Ginger vs. Cancer: Natural compound targets tumor metabolism

Science Daily: Pharmacology News

Scientists in Japan have discovered that a natural compound found in a type of ginger called kencur can throw cancer cells into disarray by disrupting how they generate energy. While healthy cells use oxygen to make energy efficiently, cancer cells often rely on a backup method. This ginger-derived molecule doesn t attack that method directly it shuts down the cells' fat-making machinery instead, which surprisingly causes the cells to ramp up their backup system even more.
