This report discusses the SAR of 4 - (2-hydroxy-2-phenylethylamino) - substituted pyridones with improved IGF-1R potency.
In this study we investigated the effects of cyclolignans and related molecules on IGF-1R activity.
Here we report a novel function for IGF-1R in p53-dependent apoptotic response.
These results have significant implications regarding an important role for Sir2alpha in modulating the sensitivity of cells in p53-dependent apoptotic response and the possible effect in cancer therapy.
