Abstract
4EGI-1 is the prototype of a novel class of anticancer agents targeting translation. Patented drug-like analogue 1 was synthesized and examined for inhibition of translation and cytotoxicity in cancer cells. Unexpectedly, 1 was found inactive in both assays.
Keywords: Cancer, eIF4E, metastatic melanoma, mRNA translation, protein synthesis, thiazoles.

Induction of cell death in cancer cells by modulating telomerase activity using small molecule drugs
Telomeres are distinctive but short stretches present at the corners of chromosomes and aid in stabilizing chromosomal makeup. Resynthesis of telomeres supported by the activity of reverse transcriptase ribonucleoprotein complex telomerase. There is no any telomerase activity in human somatic cells, but the stem cells and germ cells undergone telomerase ...read more
Role of natural compounds as anti anti-cancer agents
Cancer is considered the leading cause of worldwide mortality, accounting for nearly 10 million deaths in 2022. Cancer outcome can be improved through an appropriate screening and early detection and through an efficient clinical treatment. Chemotherapy remains an important approach in treatment o f several types of cancers, even though ...read more
