  • Publication number: 20110212467
    Abstract: Evidence demonstrating that elevated expression of dUTPase protects breast cancer cells from the expansion of the intracellular uracil pool, translating to reduced growth inhibition following treatment with 5-FU is provided. The implementation of in silica drug development techniques to identify and develop small molecule inhibitors of dUTPase are reported. As 5-FU and the oral 5-FU pro-drug capecitabine remain central agents in the treatment of a variety of malignancies, the clinical utility of a small molecule inhibitor to dUTPase represents a viable strategy to improve the clinical efficacy of these mainstay chemotherapeutic agents.

  • Publication number: 20100160313
    Abstract: The present invention relates in general to anti-cancer drug design. More specifically, the invention provides methods of mapping and screening for anti-cancer agents using pharmacophore models. The invention demonstrates that, conformational sampling of a small lead molecule, followed by representative pharmacophore model development, is an efficient approach for rational design of novel anticancer agents with similar or better potency than the original lead but with different physicochemical properties.
