Use of Small-Molecule Inhibitors of CILK1 and AURKA as Cilia-Promoting Drugs to Decelerate Medulloblastoma Cell Replication. (PubMed, Biomedicines)
The results demonstrated the potential of using cilia-promoting drugs, such as Alvocidib and Alisertib, to suppress cancer cell replication. Additionally, it shows the massive benefits of integrating accessible large language models to conduct sweeping, rapid, and accurate literature searches.

Effective therapeutic targeting of CTNNB1-mutant hepatoblastoma with WNTinib. (PubMed, Mol Oncol)
WNTinib's efficacy was assessed in three animal models (n = 48): (a) patient-derived xenograft (PDX) HB tumors (n = 5 CTNNB1-mutant, n = 1 CTNNB1 wild-type) implanted in NSG mice; (b) PDX-derived TT001- and (c) HepG2-HB cells subcutaneously implanted in Fox1nu mice; and in two patient-derived organoids from CTNNB1-mutant HBs. In HB organoids, WNTinib demonstrated greater efficacy than standard-of-care cisplatin (P = 0.009, org-1), and its antitumor effect was further enhanced when combined with chemotherapy (P = 0.01, org-1; P = 0.007, org-22). WNTinib delays tumor progression and increases survival in CTNNB1-mutated HB models, providing rationale to explore its use in human HB.

Inhibition of CDKs Enhances Efficacy of Anti-EGFR Therapy in Chordoma. (PubMed, Mol Cancer Ther)
Importantly, co-treatments exhibited greater inhibition of tumor growth than single treatments in cell line- and patient-derived xenograft models. Taken together, our data revealed that THZ1 or TG02 enhanced in vitro and in vivo efficacy of afatinib, suggesting a potential novel combination therapeutic strategy for patients with chordoma.

Dual CDK and MEK Inhibition potentiates CD8+ T cell-mediated antitumor immunity by inducing pyroptotic cell death in high-mutational head and neck cancer. (PubMed, J Exp Clin Cancer Res)
Our findings indicate that the combination of AZD5438 and PD0325901 holds therapeutic potential for the treatment of HPV (-) HNSCC, particularly in tumors with a high mutational burden. By targeting complementary pathways, this combination may improve treatment outcomes in this aggressive cancer subtype.

Design, synthesis, and activity evaluation of selective CDK9 inhibitors containing indazole fragments. (PubMed, Bioorg Chem)
This study designed and synthesized two series (A and B) of 28 unreported compounds based on rational structural modification of the lead compound AZD5438...Mechanistic studies demonstrated that B11 induces apoptosis in HCT116 cells by elevating intracellular ROS levels through suppression of anti-apoptotic protein expression and activating the caspase-3 pathway. In conclusion, compound B11 may serve as a novel selective CDK9 inhibitor worthy of further development for colorectal cancer treatment.

Discovery of dCDK9-202 as a Highly Potent and Selective PROTAC CDK9 Degrader with Strong In Vivo Antitumor Activity. (PubMed, J Med Chem)
Moreover, intravenous administration of dCDK9-202 effectively inhibits TC-71 tumor growth without any signs of toxicity in mice. This promising CDK9 degrader dCDK9-202 has a high potential for advanced preclinical development in the treatment of CDK9-addicted human cancers.

Targeting CDK9 inhibits the growth of KMT2A-rearranged infant leukemia and demonstrates synergy with menin inhibition. (PubMed, Blood Neoplasia)
Enitociclib also potentiates the cytotoxicity of venetoclax in relatively venetoclax-resistant KMT2A-r leukemic cells. Overall, enitociclib has shown measurable in vitro antitumor activity in KMT2A-r infant leukemia and is a rational therapeutic option to explore in future clinical trials.
