Abstract:
:Effective therapies for glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) are not currently available. A small molecule has been identified using fragment-based drug-discovery guided by NMR that targets important protein-protein interactions controlling GBM invasion and pathogenicity. This first generation drug displays excellent pharmacokinetic properties, passes through the blood-brain barrier and is effective in preclinical animal models of GBM, particularly when combined with radiation therapy.
