Rocaglates are a class of eukaryotic translation initiation inhibitors that are being explored as chemotherapeutic agents. They function by targeting eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF) 4A, an RNA helicase critical for recruitment of the 40S ribosome (and associated factors) to mRNA templates. Rocaglates perturb eIF4A activity by imparting a gain-of-function activity to eIF4A and mediating clamping to RNA.

NK cell efficacy depends on multiple factors, including their propensity to infiltrate tumors, to reach activation threshold, and to differentiate into mature cytotoxic cells. The tumor microenvironment counteracts protective immunity by delivering anti-inflammatory signals, which stimulate the development of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC).
