Targeting mitochondrial metabolism in renal cell carcinoma with melatonin: Preclinical evidence and clinical perspectives. (PubMed, Tissue Cell)
Importantly, melatonin works with TKIs like sunitinib and pazopanib to improve mitochondrial homeostasis and increase therapeutic effectiveness. Overall, melatonin provides a multi-targeted, low-toxicity strategy for overcoming metabolic and therapeutic resistance in RCC, emphasizing its translational promise as an adjuvant. Further clinical trials should concentrate on dose optimization, biomarker-guided patient selection, and combination regimens that include immune checkpoint blockade.

[177Lu]Lu-dota-tate versus sunitinib in patients with metastatic progressive neuroendocrine tumours of the pancreas (OCLURANDOM): a randomised, controlled, phase 2 trial. (PubMed, Lancet Oncol)
Using sunitinib as an internal control, our results show clinically significant antitumour efficacy of [177Lu]Lu-dota-tate in pretreated, progressive, somatostatin receptor-positive, metastatic pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours, and a better quality of life during the treatment phase. Late adverse events were reported in the [177Lu]Lu-dota-tate group that might affect the tolerance of subsequent lines of treatment.

Sunitinib enhances cuproptosis induced by copper ionophores via ROS-ATF3-SLC31A1 axis in thyroid Carcinoma. (PubMed, Cell Death Dis)
In this study, we investigated the therapeutic potential of combining Sunitinib with copper ionophore Elesclomol as a novel strategy against thyroid carcinoma. Clinically, TCGA analysis reveals SLC31A1 as a vulnerability in advanced thyroid cancer, with expression significantly downregulated in metastatic lesions, a deficit rescued by Sunitinib. Overall, these results demonstrate that Sunitinib and copper ionophores can induce synergistic cytotoxic effect, shedding light on therapeutic strategy for advanced thyroid carcinomas.

Stage-specific biomarkers in triple-negative breast cancer: Preliminary findings from bioinformatics approaches. (PubMed, Cancer Biomark)
miRNA co-regulation distinguished early-stage TNBC through PI3K-AKT-related pathways and advanced-stage TNBC through tumor progression-associated pathways. Docking-based drug repurposing highlighted conventional agents (e.g., doxorubicin) and potential novel candidates (e.g., sunitinib).ConclusionThis study identifies novel stage-specific gene candidates and suggests repurposable drugs for TNBC, supporting progression-specific targeted therapeutic strategies.

Optimizing Sequential Targeted Therapies in Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma Using Patient-Derived Orthotopic Xenograft Mouse Avatars. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
Mice were randomized into vehicle control or four sequential treatment groups (Everolimus→Sunitinib [E→S], Sunitinib→Everolimus [S→E], Pazopanib→Sunitinib [P→S], Pazopanib→Everolimus [P→E]). This RCC PDOX platform faithfully preserves patient-specific biology-including metastatic propensity, engraftment efficiency, growth kinetics, and stromal dependency-while enabling real-time evaluation of sequential targeted therapies. Given the limited number of models tested, these findings provide proof-of-concept for individualized treatment exploration in advanced RCC and support future investigation of rational combinations with immune checkpoint blockade in humanized or immunocompetent systems.

Antineoplastic multi-targeted spiro[indoline-3,2'-pyrrolidines] incorporating urea function: Rational design, synthesis and bio-properties studies. (PubMed, Bioorg Chem)
Biological evaluation identified compound 15l as a highly potent agent against the HCT116 colon cancer line, outperforming sunitinib and 5-fluorouracil by 3.7-fold and 7.9-fold, respectively...Compound 15h demonstrated VEGFR-2 inhibition comparable to sorafenib, while 15g emerged as a dual MDM2 inhibitor and p53 activator, significantly outperforming doxorubicin...CAM assays supported the anti-angiogenic potential of 15g, 15h, 15j, and 15k. Finally, molecular docking (PDB ID: 5LAW) and dynamic simulations validated the binding stability and mechanism within the MDM2 pocket.

Apoptosis-related gene model predicts the prognosis in patients with acute myeloid leukemia. (PubMed, Blood Sci)
In addition, high-risk patients exhibited significant enrichment in pathways related to TP53 dysfunction, mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling activation, and pro-inflammatory responses, which were closely correlated with NPM1c-FLT3 co-mutations. Decitabine, sunitinib, and MK-1775 were identified as potential therapeutic agents. In summary, we established a 5-ARG prognostic model that may facilitate risk stratification and inform therapeutic decision-making in AML.
