Article Synopsis
  • Lung inflammation triggers an increase in pro-inflammatory substances, and a treatment called FCBD:std, which contains cannabinoids, effectively reduces inflammation in certain lung cells but not in macrophages.
  • The study examined how FCBD:std interacts with corticosteroids and NSAIDs, revealing that its combination with diclofenac works well to lower inflammation markers in both macrophages and lung epithelial cells.
  • While positive effects were observed from the combination therapies, further pre-clinical and clinical research is necessary to fully understand their potential for treating lung inflammation.

contains more than 500 constituents, yet the anticancer properties of the vast majority of cannabis compounds remains unknown. We aimed to identify cannabis compounds and their combinations presenting cytotoxicity against bladder urothelial carcinoma (UC), the most common urinary system cancer. An XTT assay was used to determine cytotoxic activity of extracts on T24 and HBT-9 cell lines.

produces hundreds of phytocannabinoids and terpenes. Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common type of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), characterized by patches, plaques and tumors. Sézary is a leukemic stage of CTCL presenting with erythroderma and the presence of neoplastic Sézary T-cells in peripheral blood.

Article Synopsis
  • A metal-free method was developed to create multi-substituted Δ-pyrroline compounds through a mild base-catalyzed reaction between malononitrile and Erlenmeyer azlactones.
  • The reaction allows for flexibility in product design, leading to a variety of poly-substituted pyrrolines.
  • Testing on cancer cell lines revealed that specific compounds, identified as 6f and 6q, showed strong cytotoxic effects against several cancer types.

Colorectal cancer remains the third most common cancer diagnosis and fourth leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Purified cannabinoids have been reported to prevent proliferation, metastasis, and induce apoptosis in a variety of cancer cell types. However, the active compounds from flowers and their interactions remain elusive.

A new strategy was developed to synthesize 1,2-disubstituted 4-quinolones in good yield starting from 1,3-bisaryl-monothio-1,3-diketone substrates. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for antimalarial activity using Plasmodium falciparum strains. All compounds, except for two, showed good activity.

Thrombocytopenia is a serious issue connected with the pathogenesis of several human diseases including chronic inflammation, arthritis, Alzheimer's disease, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and other oxidative stress-associated pathologies. The indiscriminate use of antibiotics and other biological drugs are reported to result in thrombocytopenia, which is often neglected during the treatment regime. In addition, augmented oxidative stress induced by drugs and pathological conditions has also been shown to induce thrombocytopenia, which seems to be the most obvious consequence of elevated rate of platelet apoptosis.
