Abstract

Background: Aberrant protein translation is a key driver in cancer downstream of pro-oncogenic stimuli. The aberrant protein translation is frequently carried out by ribosomes that have cancer specific alterations providing an opportunity to selectively target “oncoribosomes.” Our unique synthetic chemistry generates novel macrolides that are Ribosome Modulating Agents (RMAs) capable of selectively targeting oncoribosomes. Wnt-pathway activated colorectal cancers (CRC) tend to be highly dependent on elevated protein translation capacity.
