Precision oncology benefits from effective early phase drug discovery decisions. Recently, drugging inactive protein conformations has shown impressive successes, raising the cardinal questions of which targets can profit and what are the principles of the active/inactive protein pharmacology. Cancer driver mutations have been established to mimic the protein activation mechanism. We suggest that the decision whether to target an inactive (or active) conformation should largely rest on the protein mechanism of activation. We next discuss the recent identification of double (multiple) same-allele driver mutations and their impact on cell proliferation and suggest that like single driver mutations, double drivers also mimic the mechanism of activation. We further suggest that the structural perturbations of double (multiple) in cis mutations may reveal new surfaces/pockets for drug design. Finally, we underscore the preeminent role of the cellular network which is deregulated in cancer. Our structure-based review and outlook updates the traditional Mechanism of Action, informs decisions, and calls attention to the intrinsic activation mechanism of the target protein and the rewired tumor-specific network, ushering innovative considerations in precision medicine.

Role of ABCB1 and ABCC1 Gene Induction on Survival in Locally Advanced Breast Cancer
Atalay, C.; DEMİRKAZIK, AHMET; Gündüz, Ufuk (2008-12-01)
Drug resistance to chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced breast cancer results in a decrease in treatment efficacy and in patient survival. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of ABCB1 and ABCC1 gene induction during chemotherapy on disease-free and overall survival of breast cancer patients.
Targeting glucosylceramide synthase sensitizes imatinib-resistant chronic myeloid leukemia cells via endogenous ceramide accumulation
BARAN, YUSUF; Bielawski, Jacek; Gündüz, Ufuk; Ogretmen, Besim (2011-10-01)
Purpose Drug resistance presents a major obstacle for the treatment of some patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Pro-apoptotic ceramide mediates imatinib-induced apoptosis, and metabolism of ceramide by glucosylceramide synthase (GCS) activity, converting ceramide to glucosyl ceramide, might contribute to imatinib resistance. In this study, we investigated the role of ceramide metabolism by GCS in the regulation of imatinib-induced apoptosis in drug-sensitive and drug-resistant K562 and K562/IMA-0....
Peptide-based drug systems /
Parlak, Melek; Özçubukçu, Salih; Department of Chemistry (2017)
The increasing appeal of safe, cheap and effective treatments against various type of diseases has paved the way for the discovery and development of innovative peptide-based drug and drug delivery systems. The relative ease with which peptide based-materials can be synthesized and the wide range of synthetic techniques available have ensured that these materials can be tuned to adopt specific conformation or modified to contain specific functional groups. Our major focus in this thesis is developing peptid...
Half generations magnetic PAMAM dendrimers as an effective system for targeted gemcitabine delivery
PARSIAN, MARYAM; Mutlu, Pelin; Yalcin, Serap; Tezcaner, Ayşen; Gündüz, Ufuk (2016-12-30)
Tumor-specific delivery of anticancer drugs by magnetic nanoparticles will maximize the efficacy of the drug and minimize side effects, and reduce systemic toxicity. The magnetic core of these nanoparticles provides an advantage for selective drug targeting as they can be targeted to the tumor site and accumulated in cancer cells by means of an external magnetic field. Magnetic nanoparticles can be coated with Polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer and loaded with drugs. However, biomedical applications of PAMAM ...
Targeting PI3K/Akt/mTOR Pathway Identifies Differential Expression and Functional Role of IL8 in Liver Cancer Stem Cell Enrichment
Kahraman, Deniz Cansen; Atalay, Rengül (2019-11-01)
Activation of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway is an important signaling mechanism involved in the development and the progression of liver cancer stem cell (LCSC) population during acquired Sorafenib resistance in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Therefore, identification of novel therapeutic targets involving this pathway and acting on LCSCs is highly essential. Here, we analyzed the bioactivities and the molecular pathways involved in the action of small-molecule PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway inhibitors in comp...
