Abstract

Reacquiring the target: A proteomic profiling approach has been used to show that aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 may be an additional or alternative target of duocarmycin. Selective inhibition of this enzyme in lung cancer cells explains the antitumor activity of duocarmycin analogues (see scheme).
