Proteasome inhibitors and cancer

24 10 2007

In your tutorial groups, please conduct literature research on the above assigned class of anti-cancer drugs.

You should discuss on

-the mechanism of action of the drugs,

-the nature of the drug targets,

-in vitro & in vivo assays for drug action in preclinical animal models,

-preclinical development of biomarkers for prediction/diagnosis of safety,

-drug properties,

-efficacy & patient selection.
