The preparation of some tropane analogues of pethidine and its reversed ester, chiefly with preferred 3 alpha-m-hydroxyphenyl chair conformations, is described. The former were secured from tropan-3-one in a sequence of reactions involving cyanide attack, hydrolysis, Grignard attack and then rearrangements. The reversed ester was obtained by treating tropan-3-one with lithium phenyl, followed by acylation. Configurational and conformational assignments follow from NMR analysis. The antinociceptive potencies of these compounds in mice are reported, and discussed in relation to non-phenolic congeners and the 4-arylpiperidine moiety of morphine.

Introduction: The proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9/lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 (PCSK9/LOX-1) axis plays a crucial role in regulating vascular endothelial cell function, but its specific involvement in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remains unclear. This study aims to explore the potential mechanism of the PCSK9/LOX-1 axis in high-glucose (HG)-induced vascular endothelial cell dysfunction.
Material And Methods: Peripheral blood samples were collected from T2DM patients to analyse the correlation between PCSK9 and blood lipid levels.

Ifosfamide (IFO) is a nitrogen derivative used at different doses, alone or in combination, in the treatment of various types of solid and hematologic cancers. It is a pro-drug activated by cytochrome P450 enzymatic system into ifosforamide mustard, the alkylating component that carries out the cytotoxic effect of the IFO. The most common toxicities of IFO are gastrointestinal, cutaneous, hematological, urological, and neurological.

Background: The cancer treatments that target tumor associated angiogenesis (TAA) induced by vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) have become valued. Ginsenoside Rh2 has been proved to inhibit TAA through VEGFA. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.

The anti-tumor efficacy of radiotherapy (RT) is limited by the hypoxic and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME), which leads to RT resistance and failure in eradicating distant metastatic lesions. Herein, we developed a fluorinated nanosensitizer that could deliver both oxygen (O) and ADAR1 siRNA into tumor cells to reinforce RT by alleviating hypoxia and immunosuppression. Fluorinated poly(β-amino ester) (fPBAE) was designed to complex ADAR1 siRNA (siADAR1) via electrostatic attraction and load O due to the O-dissolving capacity of fluoroalkyls.

Cholesteryl ester storage disease (CESD) is a rare autosomal recessive metabolic disorder resulting from a deficiency of lysosomal acid lipase (LAL). It is characterized by the accumulation of cholesterol esters in various tissues, leading to atherosclerotic diseases or severe hepatic dysfunction in younger individuals. Pregnancy has remained an essential challenge for women with CESD because of the poor prognosis.
