Development and preclinical pharmacology of a novel dCK inhibitor, DI-87.
Article in Biochemical pharmacology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundDeoxycytidine kinase (dCK) is an essential enzyme for production of nucleotides via the salvage pathway; DI-87 is a novel dCK inhibitor in preclinical development for use in anticancer therapy. The current study utilizes PET imaging to evaluate PK-PD relationships and to determine optimal dosing of the drug.
methodsNSG mice bearing CEM tumors had plasma and tumor PK assessed using mass spectrometry following oral administration of DI-87. dCK inhibition was assessed after a single dose of oral DI-87 followed by a [
resultsDI-87 had an in vitro EC
conclusionsDI-87 is a promising new compound for use in combination therapy against tumors expressing dCK. Utilizing a [
