- GPR108 is required for gambogic acid inhibiting NF-κB signaling in cancer
September 2022 "GPCRs are the most potential targets for drug discovery, however, their role in oncology we identified GPR108, a GPCR protein described in innate immune system, is a potential therapeutic target We identified gambogic acid (GA), a natural prenylated xanthone, selectively targeting GPR108. Overall, our findings supported GPR108 as a promising therapeutic target of cancer, and provided a small molecule inhibitor GA directly and selectively targeting GPR108 for cancer therapy."
