Comprehensive multi-omics analysis elucidates colchicine-induced toxicity mechanisms and unveils the therapeutic potential of MLN4924 and kinase inhibitors.

Colchicine is a widely prescribed anti-inflammatory drug for the treatment of gout, familial Mediterranean fever and pericarditis, but its narrow therapeutic window presents a significant risk of severe toxicity. Despite its clinical relevance, the molecular mechanisms underlying colchicine's pharmacological effects and associated toxicity and explored potential therapeutic interventions to mitigate its adverse effects. We showed the colchicine's impact on cellular morphology in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and HeLa cells including cell rounding and detachment following 24 h of exposure that revealed pronounced cytotoxic effects.

Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of piperine derivatives as potent antitumor agents.

A series of piperine derivatives were designed and successfully synthesized. The antitumor activities of these compounds against 293 T human normal cells, as well as MDA-MB-231 (breast) and Hela (cervical) cancer cell lines, were assessed through the MTT assay. Notably, compound H7 exhibited moderate activity, displaying reduced toxicity towards non-tumor 293 T cells while potently enhancing the antiproliferative effects in Hela and MDA-MB-231 cells.

Epidemiology and mechanism of drug resistance of Mycoplasma pneumoniae in Beijing, China: A multicenter study.

Mycoplasma pneumoniae (M. pneumoniae) is one of the most common causes of community-acquired respiratory tract infections (RTIs). We aimed to investigate the prevalence of M.

Role of peripheral purinoceptors in the development of bee venom-induced nociception: a behavioural and electrophysiological study in rats.

Colocalization of purinergic P2X and P2Y receptors in dorsal root ganglion sensory neurons implies that these receptors play an integrative role in the nociceptive transmission process under inflammatory conditions. In the present study, behavioural and in vivo electrophysiological methods were used to examine the peripheral role of P2 receptors in the persistent nociceptive responses induced by subcutaneous bee venom injection (2 mg/mL) in. Sprague-Dawley rats Local pretreatment with the wide-spectrum P2 receptor antagonist pyridoxalphosphate-6-azophenyl-2',4'-disulphonic acid (PPADS; 1 mmol/L, 50 μL) 10 min prior to s.

Theoretical Studies on Pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine Derivatives as Potent Dual c-Src/Abl Inhibitors Using 3D-QSAR and Docking Approaches.

In recent years, the development of dual or multi-targeted inhibitors has captured extensive attention of research for treating of malignancies. In this paper, three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship and docking studies were performed on 87 pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines as dual Src/Abl inhibitors. The appropriate binding orientations and conformations of these compounds interacting with both Src and Abl kinases were revealed by docking studies, and the established optimum CoMFA models yielded q(2) =0.

[Inhibitory effect of octreotide on the cross excitation of adjacent segment of spinal nerve in rat].

This study was to observe the effect and possible mechanism of somatostatin analogue octreotide (OCT) on cross excitation of adjacent segment of spinal nerve in rat. Cutaneous branches of T9-T13 spinal dorsal rami were chosen and dissected free for the following recording and stimulation. Only single unit fiber was used for recording, and the adjacent segment of nerve stem was used for antidromic electrical stimulation.

Octreotide inhibits capsaicin-induced activation of C and Aδ afferent fibres in rat hairy skin in vivo.

1. The present study investigated whether the somatostatin receptor (SSTR) agonist, octreotide, could inhibit the activation of dorsal skin afferent fibres induced by local injection of capsaicin in the rat. 2.

Tonic inhibition of somatostatin on C and Adelta afferent fibers in rat dorsal skin in vivo.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of somatostatin (SST) in peripheral nerve terminals using local application of the SST receptor (SSTR) antagonist cyclo-somatostatin (c-SOM) injected into the receptive fields of cutaneous afferent fibers innervating the dorsal hairy skin in anesthetized rats. Single unit activity was recorded in teased filaments from the dorsal cutaneous nerve branch. Recordings were obtained from 206 primary afferent fibers.

[Application of nested PCR and sequencing technique to detect point mutations of the 23S rRNA gene of Mycoplasma pneumoniae].

Objective: To establish a quick method to detect drug resistance of Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) and study the condition of drug resistance in MP infection.

Methods: MP 23S rRNA target gene in throat swab specimens from 200 patients with suspected MP infection was detected by using nested PCR and DNA sequencing. The result of 23S rRNA gene detection was confirmed by MP isolation and drug susceptibility test in vitro for reliability.
