Fe/Cu Bimetallic Nanozyme Co-Assembled with Lu and Tanshinone for Quadruple-Synergistic Tumor-Specific Therapy.

The co-loading of radionuclides and small-molecule chemotherapeutic drugs as nanotheranostic platforms using nanozymes holds tremendous potential for imaging-guided synergistic therapy. This study presents such nanotheranostic platform (Lu-MFeCu@Tan) via co-assembling Lu radionuclide and tanshinone (Tan) into Fe/Cu dual-metal nanozyme (MFeCu). This platform simultaneously enables single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging and a quadruple-synergistic tumor therapy approach, including internal radioisotope therapy (RIT), catalysis therapy, chemotherapy, and MFeCu-mediated ferroptosis and cuproptosis therapy.

Novel pyridazinone derivatives bind to KSRP: Synthesis, anti-tumor biological evaluations and modelling insights.

Pyridazinone derivatives have been extensively used as anticancer agents. IMB5036 is a structure specific pyridazinone compound with potential antitumor activity via targeting KSRP protein which controls gene expression at multiple levels. In this study, fifteen IMB5036 analogues were synthesized and preliminary structure-activity relationships were explored.
