Design, synthesis and anti-breast cancer activity evaluation of 6,7-dihydro-5H-pyrrolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-based PARP1/ATR dual inhibitors. (PubMed, J Enzyme Inhib Med Chem)
Mechanistically, 38a arrested cell cycle progression, induced apoptosis, inhibited colony formation and migration, and suppressed DNA damage repair pathways, outperforming combined Niraparib and AZD6738. These findings underscore the therapeutic potential of PARP1/ATR dual inhibitors for breast cancer and support further investigation.

Efficacy of the ATR inhibitor ceralasertib in patients with ARID1A-deficient gynecologic and other solid tumor malignancies. (PubMed, Clin Cancer Res)
Ceralasertib monotherapy demonstrated promising anti-tumor activity in ARID1A-deficient gynecologic malignancies. Tumor molecular and immune correlates may inform the further development of ATR inhibitors in this patient population.

Targeting Galectin-9 to overcome immunosuppression and potentiate ATR inhibitor therapy. (PubMed, Cancer Lett)
CD8+ T cell depletion completely abrogates the anti-tumor effects, suggesting their essential role in mediating therapeutic responses. These findings establish Gal-9 upregulation as a critical adaptive immune resistance mechanism constraining ATRi efficacy, providing a compelling rationale for clinical translation of ceralasertib/Gal-9 blockade combinations.

ATR inhibitors: from targeting the DNA damage response to exploiting synthetic lethality-A paradigm shift in Cancer therapy. (PubMed, Bioorg Chem)
We provide a detailed analysis of the structure-activity relationships (SAR) of leading clinical candidates, including berzosertib, ceralasertib, and elimusertib, focusing on strategic chemical modifications such as scaffold hopping and sulfoximine substitution to optimize selectivity and druggability. Critical challenges, specifically dose-limiting hematological toxicities and acquired resistance, are analyzed alongside the search for robust predictive biomarkers. By synthesizing current pharmacological and clinical data, this work outlines the trajectory for next-generation ATR-targeted precision medicine.

Loss of BOK increases vulnerability of p53 deficient non-small cell lung cancer cells to ATR inhibition through its role in uridine metabolism. (PubMed, Cell Death Differ)
We exploited this vulnerability by inhibiting the ATR-mediated DNA damage response pathway with the selective ATR inhibitor ceralasertib (AZD6738)...Given the frequent inactivation of p53 in lung cancer, our study offers a rationale for clinical exploration of ATR inhibitors, in combination with standard chemotherapy, in the context of reduced BOK function. Future investigations into the broader role of BOK in genomic stability and nucleotide metabolism may uncover additional therapeutic strategies for cancers with repressed BOK.
