Orally active, potent and selective integrin-linked kinase (ILK) inhibitor with anti-cancer efficacy in cultures and in vivo.
QLT0267 is an orally active, potent and selective integrin-linked kinase (ILK) inhibitor (IC50 = 26 nM; selectivity: >1000-fold over CK2, CSK, DNA-PK, PIM1, PKB/AKT, PKC, >100-fold over ERK1, GSK3β, LCK, PKA, p70S6K, and RSK1/QLT, >10-fold over CDK1/2/5) that inhibits ILK-dependent cellular signaling (IC50 in 2h = 1 μM against 20 nM EGF-induced pAKT Ser473 phosphorylation in Hth74 cells). QLT0267 treatment causes thyroid cancer cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, leading to anti-proliferation efficacy in cultures (IC50 <6 μM; NPA187, DRO, and K4 cell lines) and in mice in vivo (DRO xenografts-derived tumor growth; 50-100 mg/kg via daily p.o.).

Genomic instability is a hallmark of cancer cells contributing to tumor development and progression. Integrin-linked kinase (ILK) is a focal adhesion protein with well-established role in carcinogenesis. We have previously shown that ILK overexpression is critically implicated in human colorectal
Tendons are specialized tissues composed primarily of load-responsive fibroblasts (tenocytes) embedded in a collagen-rich extracellular matrix. Habitual mechanical loading or targeted exercise causes tendon cells to increase the stiffness of the extracellular matrix; this adaptation may occur in part through

Pancreatobiliary cancer is a highly aggressive tumour with a dismal prognosis. Personalised medicine represents a promising and effective therapeutic approach for this intractable disease. In this study, we aimed to establish a system for identifying and testing genotype-oriented targeted drugs
Patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) often require lifelong therapy with ABL1 tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) due to a persisting TKI-resistant population of leukemic stem cells (LSCs). From transcriptome profiling, we show integrin-linked kinase (ILK), a key constituent of focal
Insulin promotes neuronal survival by activating a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase)/AKT-dependent signaling pathway and reducing caspase activation. We investigated a role for integrin-linked kinase (ILK) in insulin-mediated cell survival in cultured neurons and differentiated R28 cells. We used a serum
