Designing novel possible kinase inhibitor derivatives as therapeutics Biology Diagrams The development of mitotic kinase inhibitors came as an outgrowth of studies on the molecular mechanisms of the cell cycle in the 1990s [38-40], which promised the development of precise inhibitors of mitosis without the toxic sequelae of classical chemotherapeutics. Yet for all the initial excitement, mitotic kinase inhibitors have now been Anti-mitotic therapies in cancer J Cell Biol. 2019 Jan 7;218(1) :10-11. doi Aurora Kinase B / antagonists & inhibitors Aurora Kinase B / genetics Aurora Kinase B / metabolism Neoplasms / drug therapy* Neoplasms / genetics Neoplasms / metabolism

Why Great Mitotic Inhibitors Make Poor Cancer Drugs Biology Diagrams
In prostate cancers, the abundance of the tumor suppressor PDCD4 is inversely correlated with response to the antiandrogen (also known as an androgen receptor inhibitor) enzalutamide. Zhang et al. found that PDCD4 is repressed by the mitotic kinase PLK1, which enabled the activity of cell survival pathways that are androgen independent. In

Discovery of Potent and Selective MNK Kinase Inhibitors for the ... Biology Diagrams
MNK activity is regulated by the p38 and Erk MAPK pathways. Phosphorylation of MNK leads to its activation and binding to the eIF4G/eIF4E complex. MNK then phosphorylates eIF4E at Ser209, whose activation is associated with oncogene translation, leading to tumorigenesis. Given this important role for eIF4E in tumorigenesis, MNK inhibition with novel small molecule inhibitors could be a
