Excerpt

Hypoxia induces the transcription of various genes that are involved in angiogenesis and anaerobic metabolism necessary for the growth of tumor cells. Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α regulates genes that are involved in the response to hypoxia and promotes neoangiogenesis in cancer. Thus, 6-(1-oxobutyl)-5,8-dimetoxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (OXO) was synthesized, to develop an anticancer agent with antiangiogenic activity in hypoxic cancer cells. …

Keynote webinar | Spotlight on antibody–drug conjugates in cancer

Antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) are novel agents that have shown promise across multiple tumor types. Explore the current landscape of ADCs in breast and lung cancer with our experts, and gain insights into the mechanism of action, key clinical trials data, existing challenges, and future directions.
