[HTML][HTML] Homozygous MTAP deletion in primary human glioblastoma is not associated with elevation of methylthioadenosine

Y Barekatain, JJ Ackroyd, VC Yan, S Khadka… - Nature …, 2021 - nature.com
Homozygous deletion of methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP) in cancers such as
glioblastoma represents a potentially targetable vulnerability. Homozygous MTAP-deleted cell …

An enolase inhibitor for the targeted treatment of ENO1-deleted cancers

…, N Satani, N Hammoudi, VC Yan, Y Barekatain… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
Inhibiting glycolysis remains an aspirational approach for the treatment of cancer. We have
previously identified a subset of cancers harbouring homozygous deletion of the glycolytic …

KRASG12D inhibition reprograms the microenvironment of early and advanced pancreatic cancer to promote FAS-mediated killing by CD8+ T cells

…, H Sugimoto, KA Arian, H Ying, Y Barekatain… - Cancer Cell, 2023 - cell.com
The KRAS G12D mutation is present in nearly half of pancreatic adenocarcinomas (PDAC).
We investigated the effects of inhibiting the KRAS G12D mutant protein with MRTX1133, a …

Antimicrobial prodrug activation by the staphylococcal glyoxalase GloB

…, JJ Miller, DM Osbourn, Y Barekatain… - ACS infectious …, 2020 - ACS Publications
With the rising prevalence of multidrug resistance, there is an urgent need to develop novel
antibiotics. Many putative antibiotics demonstrate promising in vitro potency but fail in vivo …

Oncogenic KrasG12D specific non-covalent inhibitor reprograms tumor microenvironment to prevent and reverse early pre-neoplastic pancreatic lesions and in combination with …

…, H Sugimoto, KA Arian, H Ying, Y Barekatain… - bioRxiv, 2023 - biorxiv.org
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is associated with mutations in Kras, a known
oncogenic driver of PDAC; and the KRAS G12D mutation is present in nearly half of PDAC …

Prodrugs of a 1-Hydroxy-2-oxopiperidin-3-yl Phosphonate Enolase Inhibitor for the Treatment of ENO1-Deleted Cancers

…, K Arthur, S Khadka, Y Barekatain… - Journal of Medicinal …, 2022 - ACS Publications
Cancers harboring homozygous deletion of the glycolytic enzyme enolase 1 (ENO1) are
selectively vulnerable to inhibition of the paralogous isoform, enolase 2 (ENO2). A previous …

Structure-guided microbial targeting of antistaphylococcal prodrugs

Carboxy ester prodrugs are widely employed to increase oral absorption and potency of
phosphonate antibiotics. Prodrugging can mask problematic chemical features that prevent …

[HTML][HTML] Impaired anaplerosis is a major contributor to glycolysis inhibitor toxicity in glioma

S Khadka, K Arthur, Y Barekatain, E Behr… - Cancer & …, 2021 - Springer
Background Reprogramming of metabolic pathways is crucial to satisfy the bioenergetic and
biosynthetic demands and maintain the redox status of rapidly proliferating cancer cells. In …

Quantification of Phosphonate Drugs by 1H–31P HSQC Shows That Rats Are Better Models of Primate Drug Exposure than Mice

Y Barekatain, S Khadka, K Harris, J Delacerda… - Analytical …, 2022 - ACS Publications
The phosphonate group is a key pharmacophore in many antiviral, antimicrobial, and
antineoplastic drugs. Due to its high polarity and short retention time, detecting and quantifying …
