An efficient synthesis of 4-chlorophenyl N-alkyl phosphoramidates of 2 ',3 '-didehydro-2 ',3 '-dideoxyinosine employing 4-chlorophenyl phosphoroditetrazolide as a phosphorylating agent is reported. Improved method for the synthesis of 2 ',3 '-didehydro-2 ',3 '-dideoxyinosine starting from inosine is also described. The synthesized phosphoramidates 11-18 were examined for their cytotoxic activity in three human cancer cell lines: cervical (HeLa), oral (KB), and breast (MCF-7) employing sulforhodamine B assay. The highest activity in all investigated cancer cell lines was displayed by phosphoramidate 13 with N-n-propyl substituent.

Erlotinib, an epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI), is currently used in the therapy of several solid malignancies. This agent has been associated with several dermatological side-effects, the most common being papulo-pustular acneiform rash. Herein we describe a unique skin effect in a patient treated with erlotinib for non-small cell lung cancer.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is among the most common cancer types for both sexes. Tripartite motif 36 (TRIM36) has been reported to be aberrantly expressed in several cancer types, suggesting its involvement in cancer progression. However, the role of TRIM36 in the colorectal carcinogenesis remain unknown.

Regulation of protein production in response to physiological signals is achieved through precise control of Eukaryotic Elongation Factor 2 (eEF2), whose distinct translocase function is crucial for cell survival. Phosphorylation of eEF2 at its Thr56 (T56) residue inactivates this function in translation. Using genetically modified paralogue of a colon cancer cell line, HCT116 which carries a point mutation at Ser595-to-Alanine in the eEF2 gene we were able to create a constitutively active form of eEF2.

Most of the triple negative phenotype or basal-like molecular subtypes of breast cancers are associated with aggressive clinical behaviour and show poor disease prognosis. Current treatment options are constrained, emphasizing the need for novel combinatorial therapies for this particular tumor subtype. Our group has demonstrated that functionally active p21 activated kinase 1 (PAK1) exhibits significantly higher expression levels in clinical triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) samples compared to other subtypes, as well as adjacent normal tissues.

Objective: To examine the role and diagnostic potential of miR-421 in prostate cancer (PCa).
Methods: Expression data and clinical information for miR-421 were obtained from the TCGA and Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) databases. Experimental validation was performed at the cellular, blood, and tissue levels to confirm miR-421 expression and its association with clinicopathological features.
