A scalable coaxial bioprinting technology for mesenchymal stem cell microfiber fabrication and high extracellular vesicle yield.

Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) are promising candidates for regenerative medicine; however, the lack of scalable methods for high quantity EV production limits their application. In addition, signature EV-derived proteins shared in 3D environments and 2D surfaces, remain mostly unknown. Herein, we present a platform combining MSC microfiber culture with ultracentrifugation purification for high EV yield.

9-Bromo-2,3-diethylbenzo[de]chromene-7,8-dione (MSN54): A novel non-intercalative topoisomerase II catalytic inhibitor.

Novel mansonone F derivative MSN54 (9-bromo-2,3-diethylbenzo[de]chromene-7,8-dione) exhibited significant cytotoxicity against twelve human tumor cell lines in vitro, with particularly strong potency against HL-60/MX2 cell line resistant to Topo II poisons. MSN54 was found to have IC of 0.69 and 1.

Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of novel perimidine o-quinone derivatives as non-intercalative topoisomerase II catalytic inhibitors.

For the development of novel anticancer agents, we designed and synthesized a total of 37 perimidine o-quinone derivatives containing the o-quinone group at the A or B ring and different substituents (alkyl groups, aryl groups or heterocycles) at the C ring of the compounds. The structure-activity relationships (SARs) were established based on the cytotoxicity data of compounds from the HL-60, Huh7, Hct116, and Hela cell lines. The cytotoxicity results showed that most compounds exhibited potent cytotoxicity.
