Development of 10-Hydroxycamptothecin-crizotinib conjugate based on the synergistic effect on lung cancer cells.

The effect of the combination of 10-Hydroxycamptothecin (HCPT) and crizotinib (CRI) on EGFR- and KRAS-mutant lung cancer cells was investigated and the conjugates of the two drugs were synthesised. HCPT combined with CRI synergistically inhibited the cell growth and proliferation of H1975, HCC827, and H460 without aggravating adverse effect on the normal cells. The combination synergistically enhanced the cell apoptosis rate through releasing Cyto-C by activation of Bcl-2 family-mediated mitochondrial signalling, which was associate with inactivating of EGFR related downstream signalling pathways including AKT, ERK, JNK, and p38 MAPK.

Prediction of the mechanisms of action of Zhibai Dihaung Granule in cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury: A network pharmacology study and experimental validation.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Zhibai Dihuang Granule (ZDG) is known as traditional Chinese patent medicine with the functions of "Ziyin decrease internal heat" in Traditional Chinses medicine. In clinical, it is also used to treat various kidney diseases.

Aim Of The Study: We aimed to provide a basis for the curative effect of ZDG on acute kidney injury induced by cisplatin (CIAKI).
