    Inhibiting angiogenesis and tumorigenesis by a synthetic molecule that blocks binding of both VEGF and PDGF to their receptors

    Angiogenesis depends on vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) for initiation and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) for maintenance of blood vessels. We have designed a targeted library of compounds fro...

    Cucurbitacin Q: a selective STAT3 activation inhibitor with potent antitumor activity

    Constitutive activation of the JAK/STAT3 pathway is a major contributor to oncogenesis. In the present study, structure–activity relationship (SAR) studies with five cucurbitacin (Cuc) analogs, A, B, E, I, and...

    Inhibition of Angiogenesis by Aβ Peptides

    Aβ peptides are naturally occurring peptides forming β-sheet aggregates that constitute an integral component of senile plaques and vascular deposits in Alzheimer's disease. Since several peptides adopting a β-sh...

    Both farnesyltransferase and geranylgeranyltransferase I inhibitors are required for inhibition of oncogenic K-Ras prenylation but each alone is sufficient to suppress human tumor growth in nude mouse xenografts

    The ability of Ras oncoproteins to cause malignant transformation requires their post-translational modifications by prenyl groups. Because K-Ras can be both farnesylated and geranylgeranylated it is not known...
