Repositioning of Montelukast to inhibit proliferation of mutated KRAS pancreatic cancer through a novel mechanism that interfere the binding between KRAS and GTP/GDP.
European journal of pharmacology(2023)
摘要
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal cancer types with 5-year survival rate of ∼10.8%. Various KRAS mutations exist in ∼85% pancreatic cancer cell lines. Mutated KRAS is a major cause that leads cancer cell proliferation. Chemotherapy is still the major treatment for pancreatic cancer. Alternatively, repositioning old drug to inhibit mutated KRAS may be a cost-effective way for pancreatic cancer treatment. In this study, we choose mutated KRAS (G12D) as a target. Based on mutated KRAS GTP binding domain (hydrolyze GTP to GDP), we perform virtual screening on FDA-approved drugs. Montelukast shows strong binding affinity to mutated KRAS as well as interfering both GTP and GDP binding to mutated KRAS. Furthermore, Montelukast shows very strong anti-proliferation effect on mutated KRAS pancreatic cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo. Our results support repositioning of Montelukast as single agent for pancreatic cancer treatment.
