Identification of 2 Ubiquitin-Proteasome System-Related Subtypes in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma for Prognostic and Immunotherapeutic Response Prediction. (PubMed, J Immunother)
Selumetinib, entinostat, and erlotinib were identified as candidate drugs for cluster 2, whereas tozasertib, alpelisib, and cediranib showed higher suitability for cluster 1. Ten potential biomarkers, 13 transcription factors, and 2 miRNAs were characterized. This study elucidates the role of UPS in ESCC progression and provides a framework for personalized treatment strategies.

Structure-based identification of Jervine as a potent dual-targeting inhibitor of cell cycle kinases. (PubMed, Front Pharmacol)
Lastly, MMPBSA showed a higher negative free energy in the presence of Jervine than VX-680 when complexed with AURKB. Finally, our results suggest that Jervine is a potent, dual-targeting kinase inhibitor with favourable pharmacokinetic and therapeutic properties, warranting further experimental validation for anticancer drug development.

Multiomics profiling Identifies MCMBP as a prognostic biomarker and a potential immune-related target in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma via the JAK-STAT3 pathway. (PubMed, Front Immunol)
High MCMBP expression was ass-ociated with sensitivity to Gemcitabine combined with Paclitaxel, as well as small mo-lecules such as Tozasertib and Motesanib. Overexpression of MCMBP may serve as a prognostic biomarker and p-otential therapeutic target in PAAD. It drives PAAD progression by activating the JAK-STAT3 pathway to upregulate PD-L1.

Functional characterization and clinical significance of IGSF8 in pan-cancer: an integrated bioinformatic and experimental study. (PubMed, Front Immunol)
Drug sensitivity analysis identified BX-795 and tozasertib as potential treatments for tumors with high IGSF8 expression. Knockdown of IGSF8 significantly inhibited the proliferation ability of prostate cancer cells. Our findings indicated that IGSF8 might be used as a potential prognostic marker and therapeutic target for various cancers.

Unraveling the molecular landscape of non-small cell lung cancer: Integrating bioinformatics and statistical approaches to identify biomarkers and drug repurposing. (PubMed, Comput Biol Med)
Finally, seven repurposed candidate drugs ENTRECTINIB, SORAFENIB, CHEMBL1765740, TOZASERTIB, NERVIANO, AZD-1152-HQPA, and SELICICLIB were proposed through molecular docking analysis. In conclusion, the findings of this study have the potential to significantly impact the early diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of NSCLC.

Immune regulatory genes impact the hot/cold tumor microenvironment, affecting cancer treatment and patient outcomes. (PubMed, Front Immunol)
Finally, dasatinib and tozasertib were identified as drug candidates capable of converting cold pancreatic adenocarcinoma tumors into hot tumors. In this study, we developed a framework for discerning clinically significant immune subtypes across various cancer types, further identifying several potential targets for converting cold tumors into hot tumors to enhance anticancer treatment efficacy.

Molecular simulations and machine learning methods for the identification of novel aurora A kinase inhibitors. (PubMed, J Biomol Struct Dyn)
Both docking studies revealed perfect binding of all identified ligands in active site pockets of AAK protein with similar amino acids of active sites as compared with standard BindingDB_50433632 compound and co-crystal ligand VX-680 binding mode of AAK protein. Therefore, it can be concluded that computational drug discovery approaches are meticulously implemented to identify potential AAKs inhibitors/modulators, and credential of the work was substantiated through the identification of three potential AAKs inhibitors/modulators that may hold significant promise for improving cancer management, however, need extensive biological assays or pre-clinical trials for assessing the efficacy profile of the identified compounds.

Differential regulation of expression of the protein kinases DYRK1A and DYRK1B in cancer cells. (PubMed, Sci Rep)
Consistently, AURK inhibitors VX-680 (tozasertib), MLN8237 (alisertib), AZD1152-HQPA (barasertib) resulted in the upregulation of DYRK1B expression in A549 cells. In summary, our findings indicate that the expression of DYRK1A and DYRK1B is differentially regulated in cancer cells and reveal that the kinase inhibitor XMU-MP-1 increases DYRK1B expression likely through off target inhibition of Aurora kinases.

Prognosis and immunotherapeutic implications of molecular classification of cervical cancer based on immunophenoscore-related genes. (PubMed, J Biomol Struct Dyn)
cluster2 had higher immune cell infiltration levels and better prognosis, with greater sensitivity to Cyclopamine, Imatinib, MG-13, Paclitaxel, PHA-665752, Rapamycin, Sorafenib, Sunitinib, and VX-680. In contrast, cluster3 had higher TTN and PIK3CA mutations and greater sensitivity to AZ628, Dasatinib, Doxorubicin, HG-6-64-1, JQ12, Midostaurin, PF-562271, TAE684, and WH-4-023. In conclusion, we developed a feasible risk score model based on IPS-related genes for cervical cancer prognosis and identified potential drugs for different cervical cancer subtypes.

Tozasertib activates anti-tumor immunity through decreasing regulatory T cells in melanoma. (PubMed, Neoplasia)
Single-cell analysis revealed that AURKB suppressed anti-tumor immunity by increasing MIF-CD74/CXCR4 signaling between tumor cells and lymphocytes. Our study suggests that AURKB is a newly identified anti-tumor immunity suppressor, whose inhibitors may be developed as novel anti-tumor immunity drugs and may have synergistic anti-melanoma effects with immune checkpoint therapies.
