Description

Aizpea Artetxe-Zurutuza and co-authors create a family of multi-target drugs against glioblastoma in a 2025 paper. This brain tumor is the most common and deadly of its kind in adults, and its mix of cell types helps it resist treatment. Drugs that hit several targets at once may do better than single-target ones.

The team merged features of two known compounds into nine new molecules. The designs aim at several enzymes and receptors tied to tumor growth and brain signaling. Most killed glioma cells in dishes. Three leads stood out, harmed tumor stem cells, and were predicted to reach the brain. One lead slowed tumors in animals, alone and with a standard drug, and disrupted cell cycle pathways in patient-derived cells.
