Small Molecule Inhibitors of STAT3 for Cancer Therapy
23 Aug 2011
Abstract excerpt
Aberrant activation of the signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) 3 occurs in many human tumors. Constitutive STAT3 activity induces specific target genes that stimulate cell proliferation, prevent apoptosis, promote angiogenesis and facilitate tumor immune evasion. Thus, STAT3 is an attractive molecular target for the development of novel cancer therapeutics. Targeting and disruption of...
