[Molecular target drugs for AML--current state and prospects for the future]
Abstract:
Acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) is a disease which may be completely cured by intensive chemotherapy or stem cell transplantation. However, the prognoses are poor in elderly, refractory or recurrence cases. Molecular targeted drugs have been expected to improve the prognoses of patients with various cancers, but there are few kinds of molecular target drugs for AML. On the other hand, excellent drug exists such as tretinoin for acute promyelocytic leukemia. Molecular mechanisms have been elucidated in AML cells, and the molecules which can be the good target of the treatment have been identified. Novel molecular target drugs are also expected.

Targeted Cancer Therapies
Targets for Drug Action: Overview
Receptors are either membrane-spanning or intracellular proteins, which upon binding a ligand, get activated and transmit the signal downstream to elicit a response. Drugs bind receptors, either mimicking the action of endogenous ligands or blocking the receptor activity to bring about a modified response. Nearly 35% of approved drugs target the G...

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine
The combination of the drug acetazolamide and sulforaphane is a good example of combination therapy to treat cancer. The cells in the interior of a large tumor often die due to the hypoxic and...
