Effects of Biguanide-PROTACs in Pancreatic Cancer Cells.
Article in Molecules (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
This study focuses on the synthesis of Biguanide-PROTACs, formed by conjugating the biguanide motif with a spacer and a ligand for recognition subunits of two E3 ubiquitin ligases. Evaluation of their activity on pancreatic cancer cell (KP4) proliferation established a correlation between membrane permeability and median effective concentration. Mechanistic insights revealed that only two compounds exhibited biguanide-like AMPK activation, while only one hydrophobic compound uniquely altered mitochondrial protein levels. The prospect of developing and expanding the Biguanide-PROTAC library holds several promises, offering potential insights into biguanide mechanisms and the creation of more potent anticancer agents. This study contributes to understanding the intricate interplay between compound structure, permeability, and anticancer activity, paving the way for targeted drug development in pancreatic cancer treatment.
