CADD-based discovery of novel oligomeric modulators of PKM2 with antitumor activity in aggressive human glioblastoma models by Maia Cabrera, Romina Armando, Ian Czarnowski, Patricio Chinestrad, Ramiro Blanco, Alejandra Zinni, Daniel Gómez, Diego L. Mengual Gómez, Pablo Lorenzano Menna

“…Pyruvate kinase isoform M2 (PKM2) is a multifunctional enzyme capable of transitioning between monomeric, dimeric, and tetrameric states, with its oligomeric equilibrium playing a pivotal role in tumour progression and survival. The unique exon ten at the dimer-dimer interface represents an attractive target for isoform-specific modulation, offering opportunities for disrupting this equilibrium and altering tumour cell dynamics.This study identifies a novel druggable pocket at the PKM2 dimer interface through conformational analysis. …”
