| Abstract | The results of previous preclinical and clinical studies have identified angiogenin (ANG) as a potentially important target for anticancer therapy. Here we report the design and implementation of a high-throughput screening assay to identify small molecules that bind to the ribonucleolytic active site of ANG, which is critically involved in the induction of angiogenesis by this protein. Screening of 18,310 compounds from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Diversity Set and ChemBridge DIVERSet yielded 15 hits that inhibit the enzymatic activity of ANG with K(i) values <100 microM. One of these, NCI compound 65828 [8-amino-5-(4'-hydroxybiphenyl-4-ylazo)naphthalene-2-sulfonate; K(i) = 81 microM], was selected for more detailed studies. Minor changes in ANG or ligand structure markedly reduced potency, demonstrating that inhibition reflects active-site rather than nonspecific binding; these observations are consistent with a computationally generated model of the ANG.65828 complex. Local treatment with modest doses of 65828 significantly delayed the formation of s.c. tumors from two distinct human cancer cell types in athymic mice. ANG is the likely target involved because (i) a 65828 analogue with much lower potency against the enzymatic activity of ANG failed to exert any antitumor effect, (ii) tumors from 65828-treated mice had fewer interior blood vessels than those from control mice, and (iii) 65828 appears to have no direct effect on the tumor cells. Our findings provide considerable support for the targeting of the enzymatic active site of ANG as a strategy for developing new anticancer drugs. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
