Targeting Akt in cancer for precision therapy

Hui Hua et al.

Summary: Biomarkers-guided precision therapeutics has revolutionized the clinical development and administration of molecular-targeted anticancer agents. Tailored precision cancer therapy exhibits better response rate compared to unselective treatment. Protein kinases have critical roles in cell signaling, metabolism, proliferation, survival and migration. Aberrant activation of protein kinases is critical for tumor growth and progression. Consequently, protein kinases are key targets for molecular targeted cancer therapy. The serine/threonine kinase Akt is frequently activated in various types of cancer. Activation of Akt promotes tumor progression and drug resistance. Since the first Akt inhibitor was reported in 2000, many Akt inhibitors have been developed and evaluated in either early or late stage of clinical trials, which take advantage of liquid biopsy and genomic or molecular profiling to realize personalized cancer therapy. Two inhibitors, capivasertib and ipatasertib, are being tested in phase III clinical trials for cancer therapy. This article highlights recent progress of Akt signaling pathway, reviews the up-to-date data from clinical studies of Akt inhibitors and discusses the potential biomarkers that may help personalized treatment of cancer with Akt inhibitors. Additionally, it also discusses how Akt may confer the vulnerability of cancer cells to some kinds of anticancer agents.

Hydrophobic and polar interactions of FDA-approved small molecule protein kinase inhibitors with their target enzymes

Robert Roskoski

Summary: Dysregulation and mutations of protein kinases are involved in various diseases, making targeted inhibitors increasingly important for treatments. FDA-approved drugs mainly interact with kinase residues in the small lobe and hinge-linker region, with type IIA inhibitors having the most hydrophobic interactions with their targets. Further studies on protein kinase signaling pathways hold promise for biomedical breakthroughs.

Untwining Anti-Tumor and Immunosuppressive Effects of JAK Inhibitors-A Strategy for Hematological Malignancies?

Klara Klein et al.

Summary: The JAK-STAT pathway is aberrantly activated in many cancers, and inhibition of this pathway via JAK inhibitors suppresses the immune system. This review article provides an overview of the effects of JAKinibs on immune cells in hematological malignancies and discusses their potential use in diseases where lymphocytes are the source of malignancy. A robust immune profiling is necessary to maximize the benefit for JAKinib-treated patients.

Second-Generation Antimitotics in Cancer Clinical Trials

Pedro Novais et al.

Summary: Mitosis is a promising target for inhibiting cancer cell proliferation, with traditional antimitotics facing limitations such as resistance and toxicity. Second-generation antimitotics, targeting mitotic and SAC components, have attracted interest for overcoming these limitations. While many inhibitors have entered clinical trials, their efficacy as monotherapy is limited, leading to emerging interest in combination therapies.

Summary: Recently FDA-approved pralsetinib and selpercatinib are RET-selective protein tyrosine kinase inhibitors for treating RET-altered cancers. Selpercatinib was found to effectively inhibit certain resistant mutations that were strongly resistant to pralsetinib, showing better activity in those cases.
