Binding selectivity of rhizoxin, phomopsin A, vinblastine, and ansamitocin P-3 to fungal tubulins: differential interactions of these antimitotic agents with brain and fungal tubulins.

abstract：:Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) exert potent therapeutic efficacy in non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) harboring epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) activating mutations. However, a major impediment for the effective treatment is the development of drug resistance. Some evidence supports a role for miRNAs in m...
