Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a devastating cancer with poor prognosis and low survival rate. Researchers are focusing on developing potent anti-GBM drugs targeting pathways and molecular mediators, such as Shp2, which plays a crucial role in regulating signaling pathways in normal and glioma cells.
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a dreadful cancer characterised by poor prognosis, low survival rate and difficult clinical correlations. Several signalling pathways and molecular mediators are known to precipitate GBM, and small-molecular targets of these mediators have become a favoured thrust area for researchers to develop potent anti-GBM drugs. Shp2, an important phosphatase of the nonreceptor type protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTPN) subfamily is responsible for master regulation of several such signalling pathways in normal and glioma cells. Thus, inhibition of Shp2 is a logical strategy for the design and development of anti-neoplastic drugs against GBM. Though tapping the full potential of Shp2 binding sites has been challenging, nevertheless, many synthetic and natural scaffolds have been documented as possessing potent and selective anti-Shp2 activities in biochemical and cellular assays, through either active-site or allosteric binding. Most of these scaffolds share a few common pharmacophoric features, a thorough study of which is useful in paving the way for the design and development of improved Shp2 inhibitors. This minireview summarizes the current scenario of potent small-molecule Shp2 inhibitors and emphasizes the anti-GBM potential of some important scaffolds that have shown promising GBM-specific activity in in vitro and in vivo models, thus proving their efficacy in GBM therapy. This review could guide researchers to design new and improved anti-Shp2 pharmacophores and develop them as anti-GBM agents by employing GBM-centric drug-discovery protocols.
