DRUGS TARGETING TELOMERASE REVERSE TRANSCRIPTASE (TERT) FOR TREATMENT OF CANCERS
TERT plays a crucial role in cancer formation, ensuring chromosomal stability by maintaining telomere length and allowing cells to avoid senescence. Development of telomerase inhibitors has been challenging and thus far there are no clinically approved strategies exploiting this cancer target. Discl...

Zusammenfassung: | TERT plays a crucial role in cancer formation, ensuring chromosomal stability by maintaining telomere length and allowing cells to avoid senescence. Development of telomerase inhibitors has been challenging and thus far there are no clinically approved strategies exploiting this cancer target. Disclosed here is a method to treat cancer using compounds that perform combinatorial targeting of the telomerase and the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase activity of TERT.
L'invention concerne une méthode de traitement du cancer au moyen de composés qui effectuent un ciblage combinatoire de la télomérase et de l'activité de l'ARN polymérase ARN-dépendante de TERT. |
