Posted 2 breads back and was Notable then…Malaria Drug Makes Cancer Treatments More Effective, says WCM-Q Research
Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar (WCM-Q) discovered that an existing malaria drug could improve the effectiveness of a new class of cancer therapies, called glutaminase inhibitors, if used in combination.
The research, led by Dr Anna Halama and Dr Karsten Suhre, analysed the metabolic processes of cancer cells to show that the quinine-based malaria drug Chloroquine could boost the effectiveness of glutaminase inhibiting drugs, which are currently being developed by global pharmaceutical companies.
Glutaminase inhibitors target a chemical process called glutaminolysis, in which the amino acid glutamine is broken down, releasing energy that cancer cells use to grow. Glutaminase inhibitors seek to disrupt this process, thereby depriving cancer cells of their energy source and slowing or stopping their growth. However, certain cancer cells can activate alternative ways to generate energy and thereby escape the drug’s action. This is where a new research approach called ‘rational metabolic engineering’ comes in.
According to Dr Halama, a Research Associate in Physiology and Biophysics, they expose cancer cells grown in the laboratory to different doses of an anti-cancer drug and then measure the changes in almost all of the small molecules that are present in the cells, using a technique called metabolomics. Using sophisticated computational methods, they then identify the molecules that the cancer cells are using to escape the drug’s actions, and conceive ways to block the escape route.
She said that both energy pathways were accelerated when the glutaminolysis pathway was suppressed with drugs, and that this allowed the cancer cells to survive. Since the anti-malaria drug Chloroquine is known to disrupt some of these energy-producing mechanisms, the research prompted them to theorise that giving Chloroquine in combination with the glutaminase inhibiting drugs could lead to an improved suppression of tumor cells, which turned out to be the case.
Dr Suhre, Professor of Physiology and Biophysics, and Director of the Bio Informatics Core at WCM-Q, is one of the world’s leading metabolomics experts. He said that the beauty of metabolomics profiling is that it shows how the cell’s metabolism behaves in different situations and with a very high level of detail.
The paper, entitled ‘Accelerated lipid catabolism and autophagy are cancer survival mechanisms under glutaminolysis inhibition’, has now been published in Cancer Letters, a highly regarded international medical journal.
This research could have significant clinical implications, as Chloroquine is an existing drug therapy that has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration in the US for many years, potentially offering doctors and researchers a relatively simple way to improve treatment outcomes for cancer patients who receive glutaminase inhibitors in their treatment.
Dr Halama said that the combined approach used in this study is uniquely relevant for future therapeutic strategies in cancer treatment and can be easily generalised to other drugs. The next important step, she said, is to test the efficacy of Chloroquine in combination with glutaminolysis inhibitors in a clinical trial.

i hear your grief anon. yep, sad we're not in control, perhaps change is come'. this is why we're beating the fucking digital war drums, hoping Qteam, POTUS and MI will take care of this evil shit!
nothing here
Yep, I remember that seemed off color for Gowdy burping up pro FBI in the midst of their evil fuckery, especially having privileged access to those docs. prolly blackmailed, or the usual payoff throwing the people under the bus?
And Ryan, the yellow belly traitor, who also held up the server logs on the Awan Brothers dem House espionage, which is still blowing flapping in the cesspool wind.
Traitors everywhere!!!
We've known Ryan
Spouseanon responded with this:
It opens the door to things that will affect us.
Whats the value of retriing one buddy on the battlefield? It may not seem to change anything in her (self-centered) life, but overall IT MATTERS.
retrieving*
sure thing
Great idea…might be good for the emphysema anon to take to their boss and explain why they dont want their employee to die while working due to MASK
pharma owns the FDA traitors, just another fucking bureaucracy who've sold their souls with NO conscious or value of life.
What if PENCE is the first arrest????
POTUS on Traitors Obama/Biden and the other evil fucks: 'Thousand and Thousands of pages', lol, Masta Troll, geesh, I love this man!!!
