Targeting HER2-Positive HCC1954 Breast Cancer Cells by Novel Thiazole-Dihydrobenzisoxazoles: In-Depth Design, Synthesis and Initial In Vitro Study. (PubMed, Oncol Res)
Among them, ATF-2 demonstrated antiproliferative activity comparable to HER2 inhibitor lapatinib and significantly suppressed HER2 expression and activity, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) activity, and cyclin-dependent kinase 6 (CDK6) expression in HCC1954 breast cancer cells. These findings highlight ATF-2 as a promising dual HSP90-HER2 inhibitor with broader inhibitory effects on the HER2, EGFR, and CDK6 pathways.

An Updated Comprehensive Pharmacovigilance Study of Drug- Induced Breast Cancer Based on FDA Adverse Event Reporting System Data. (PubMed, Curr Med Chem)
Targeted therapies of lapatinib, fulvestrant, and endocrine agents (letrozole or ribociclib) show disproportionately high AE reporting odds ratios, necessitating vigilant monitoring. HER2-positive BC treatments (trastuzumab) and TNBC agents (sonidegib) exhibit distinct risk profiles, advocating for personalized risk-benefit assessments for BC patients.

Lapatinib-Loaded ZIF‑8 Nanoparticles: A Multifunctional Drug Delivery System with Anticancer, Antibacterial, and Antioxidant Properties. (PubMed, ACS Omega)
Beyond its anticancer effects, the nanocarrier displayed broad-spectrum antibacterial activity (minimum bactericidal concentrations: 5 mg mL-1 for Staphylococcus aureus and 10 mg mL-1 for Escherichia coli) and moderate antioxidant capacity (DPPH IC50 = 666 μg mL-1). Collectively, these results position LAP@ZIF-8 as a versatile, pH-sensitive platform that combines selective anticancer efficacy with low toxicity to healthy cells alongside ancillary antibacterial and antioxidant properties suitable for multimodal therapy.

Harnessing Ubiquitin-Proteasome System-Related Genes to Identify Subtypes of Bladder Cancer and Reveal Immune Landscape. (PubMed, Am J Mens Health)
Somatic mutations demonstrated that the mutation rate of Cluster B was higher than that of Cluster A. In addition, candidate drugs for two clusters of patients were predicted, with Lapatinib, Doramapimod, and SCH772984 may be potential drugs for Cluster A patients. Luminespib, Staurosporine, and Dasatinib may be more suitable for Cluster B patients. The study provides a reference for guiding the clinical treatment of BLCA patients.

HER2/CEP17 ratio is associated with pCR after HER2-directed neoadjuvant treatment in the phase III NeoALTTO trial. (PubMed, Breast)
In patients treated with HER2-based neoadjuvant therapy, quantitative analysis of the readily available pretreatment HER2/CEP17 ratio by FISH is predictive of pCR.

Advancing liquid biopsy: whispering gallery mode laser detection of the HER2 cancer biomarker on extracellular vesicles. (PubMed, Lab Chip)
Tumors that express HER2 are susceptible to HER2-targeted therapies, which include inhibitory antibodies such as trastuzumab and pertuzumab, as well as small inhibitor molecules such as lapatinib and tucatinib. Moreover, our detection technology can discriminate between soluble HER2 and membrane-bound HER2, enabling precise identification of the latter. This advancement opens up the possibility of introducing HER2 detection as a highly accurate and quantitative liquid biopsy method for detecting HER2 in blood, in full-length forms, offering new avenues for non-invasive diagnostics, patients monitoring, and early prediction of therapy.

Identification of high-risk signatures and therapeutic targets through molecular characterization and immune profiling of TP53-mutant breast cancer. (PubMed, J Genet Eng Biotechnol)
Our findings underscore the prognostic value of the identified genes and the immunosuppressive TME in TP53-mutant breast cancer. The identification of drug candidates with strong binding affinities to key proteins provides promising avenues for targeted therapy in this high-risk patient population.

Novel benzoxazole-based hybrids as multi-target inhibitors of aromatase, EGFR, and PI3K with potential anti-breast cancer activity. (PubMed, Bioorg Med Chem)
MTT assay showed that 6 and 9b were 4.5 and 2 times more potent than doxorubicin against MCF-7 cells, while 9a and 13b were 10 and 7.5 times more effective against MDA-MB-231 cells, respectively...Compound 13b exhibited comparable EGFRL858R inhibition to lapatinib and outperformed pictilisib against PI3Kα, PI3Kβ, and PI3Kδ. Compound 6 showed greater ARO inhibition than letrozole, while being slightly less potent than pictilisib against PI3Kα and PI3Kβ...Docking studies supported the in vitro enzymatic inhibition assays results. Thus, 9b and 13d are potent anti-breast cancer benzoxazoles with selective ARO and PI3kα inhibition activity, respectively, while 6, 9a, and 13b are multi-target inhibitors exhibiting other anticancer synergistic mechanisms.

Cytotoxic Effects of Sorafenib, Lapatinib, and Bevacizumab, Alone and in Combination, on Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma Cells. (PubMed, Curr Oncol)
The Lapatinib-Bevacizumab combination produced the most potent inhibition of cell viability, comparable to high-dose monotherapy. These findings suggest that combining kinase inhibitors with Bevacizumab may enhance antitumor activity, allow the use of lower drug doses, and overcome resistance, representing a promising therapeutic strategy for medullary thyroid carcinoma that warrants further investigation in clinical settings.
