    Summary: "Drug Repurposing in Cancer Therapy: Approaches and Applications provides comprehensive and updated information from experts in basic science research and clinical practice on how existing drugs can be repurposed for cancer treatment. The book summarizes successful stories that may assist researchers in the field to better design their studies for new repurposing projects. Sections discuss specific topics such as in silico prediction and high throughput screening of repurposed drugs, drug repurposing for overcoming chemoresistance and eradicating cancer stem cells, and clinical investigation on combination of repurposed drug and anticancer therapy"--Publisher's description.

    Complete inhibition of sporulation was observed in two strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to which 8-hydroxyquinoline was added at a final concentration of 5 microgram/ml during the initial 4 to 6 h of sporulation. The cells were most sensitive to the inhibitor during 4 to 6 interval beginning at approximately 2 h (T2). Its addition during that interval resulted in 70 to 80% lethality in strain 4579 and about 40% in API at T24. When present from T0 onward, 5 microgram/ml of 8-hydroxyquinoline severely inhibited premeiotic DNA replication and reduced the frequency of intragenic recombination at the ade 2 and leu 2 loci by 70 and 100%, respectively, relative to control cultures which did not have the inhibitor present. During the period when the cells were most sensitive, the incorporation of 14C-leucine into protein and 14C-adenine into RNA was not inhibited nor was the polysome content affected. At 150 microgram/ml of inhibitor, incorporation of labeled precursors into RNA and protein were inhibited and the percentage of active ribosomes was reduced by 35% within 45 min, but neither transcription or translation appeared to be completely inhibited at this concentration of the inhibitor.
