Pyruvate Kinase M2 Activators for the Treatment of Cancer

This technology describes a series of small-molecule activators of the pyruvate kinase M2 isoform (PK-M2). Pyruvate kinase (PK) is a critical metabolic enzyme that catalyzes the last step of the glycolytic pathway. It exists in several isoforms with different patterns of tissue expression. One isoform, PK-M2, is expressed in cells with a high rate...

Small-Molecule Inhibitors of Human Galactokinase for the Treatment of Galactosemia and Cancers

Lactose, found in dairy products and other foods, is comprised of two simple sugars, glucose and galactose. In galactosemia, where galactose is not properly metabolized, build-up of toxic compounds, such as galactose-1-phosphate, can lead to liver disease, renal failure, cataracts, brain damage, and even death if this disorder is left untreated. Currently,...

Pyruvate Kinase M2 Activators for the Treatment of Cancer

NIH investigators have discovered a series of small compounds with the potential to treat a variety of cancers as well as hemolytic anemia. Contrary to most cancer medications, these molecules can be non-toxic to normal cells because they target a protein specific to the metabolic pathways in tumors, thus representing a significant clinical advantage...
