Subacute Symptoms of Depression and Anxiety in Stress-Exposed Mice: Role of Schinus terebinthifolia Raddi Leaf Lectin (SteLL).

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Anxiety and depression are leading causes of disability worldwide, often exacerbated by chronic stress. Schinus terebinthifolia Raddi. has been used in traditional medicine for several purposes.

Galectin Plasmatic Levels Reveal a Cluster Associated with Disease Aggressiveness and Kidney Damage in Multiple Myeloma Patients.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant disease characterized by the proliferation of plasma cells, primarily in the bone marrow. It accounts for approximately 1% of all cancers and 10% of hematologic malignancies. Clinical manifestations include hypercalcemia, anemia, renal failure, and bone lesions.

5-nitro-thiophene-thiosemicarbazone derivative induces cell death, cell cycle arrest, and phospho-kinase shutdown in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cells.

Introduction: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly aggressive cancer with limited treatment options. This study explores the potential of novel 5-nitro-thiophene-thiosemicarbazone derivatives as therapeutic agents for PDAC.

Methods: We evaluated the cytotoxicity of seven derivatives in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and PDAC cell lines.

The Imidazacridine Derivative LPSF/AC-05 Induces Apoptosis, Cell Cycle Arrest, and Topoisomerase II Inhibition in Breast Cancer, Leukemia, and Lymphoma.

Introduction: Cancer is the major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Current treatments for both solid and hematological tumors are associated with severe adverse effects and drug resistance, necessitating the development of novel selective antineoplastic drugs.

Methods: The present study describes the antitumor activity of the imidazacridine derivative 5-acridin-9-ylmethylidene-2-thioxoimidazolidin-4-one (LPSF/AC05) in breast cancer, leuke-mia, and lymphoma cells.
