Cancer
EGFR and ErbB family
ErbB (epidermal growth factor receptor)family is a drug target for treating several types of cancers, Including lung and breast cancers. ErbB family of receptor tyrosine kinases consists of EGFR, HER2, ErbB3, and ErbB4. Overexpression of EGFR is observed in 62% of NSCLC tumors(nonsmall cell lung cancer) and overexpression of EGFR and HER2 are important prognostic markers for breast cancer. Members of the ErbB family share a similar overall structural architecture comprising: (i) extracellular ligand binding domain, (ii) transmembrane domain, (iii) intracellular juxtamembrane domain, (iv) intracellular tyrosine kinase domain, and (v) C-terminal regulatory region where phosphorylation occurs.We are interested in targeting the tyrosine kinase domain(TKD). Approved small molecules of the TKD domain include erlotinib (Tarceva, OSI Pharmaceuticals), gefitinib (Iressa, AstraZeneca), and lapatinib (Tykerb, Glaxo-SmithKline). A fourth compound called AEE788 (Novartis)is in development. Among them, erlotinib and gefitinib primarily target EGFR and lapatinib is a dual inhibitor of EGFR and ErbB2. Several cancer causing mutations or resistance mutations in EGFR and HER2 have been reported. We are interested in what is the driving force of binding and how these mutations affect binding.

Method development
DOCK development
|
The Rizzo Group co-develops the DOCK program [1] and contributed to the latest to releases: The release v6.4, greatly improved the sampling behavior with the inclusion of internal energy during growth and minimization. See release notes The release v6.5 includes a new scoring function termed Footprint similarity score. See release notes |

docking testset development
|
To facilitate the improvements to the DOCK codebase and docking protocols, our group has developed a docking testset for pose reproduction. See Mukherjee, S.; Balius, T.E.; Rizzo, R. C. Docking Validation Resources: Protein Family and Ligand Flexibility Experiments. J. Chem. Inf. Model, 2010, 50, 1986-2000. PDF To obtain the testset visit Rizzo_Lab_Downloads. |
