Background: Corilagin is widely distributed in various medicinal plants. In recent years, numerous pharmacological activities of Corilagin have been reported, including anti-inflammatory, antiviral, hepatoprotective, anti-tumor, and anti-fibrosis effects. However, there is still a need for systematic metabolomics analysis to further elucidate its mechanisms of action.

Ras gene is frequently mutated in cancer. Among different subtypes of Ras gene, K-Ras mutation occurs in nearly 30 % of human cancers. K-Ras mutation, specifically K-Ras (G12D) mutation is prevalent in cancers like lung, colon and pancreatic cancer.

Objective: Patients with osteosarcoma (OS) exhibit metastasis upon diagnosis, and the condition frequently acquires resistance to traditional chemotherapy treatments, failing the therapy. The objective of this research was to examine the impact of curculigoside (Cur), a key phenolic compound discovered in the rhizome of C. orchioides Gaertn, on OS cells and the surrounding tumor environment.

The aim of this study was to investigate the inhibitory effect of nintedanib (BIBF) on glioblastoma (GBM) cells and its mechanism of action and to optimize a drug delivery strategy to overcome the limitations posed by the blood-brain barrier (BBB). We analyzed the inhibition of GBM cell lines following BIBF treatment and explored its effect on the autophagy pathway. The cytotoxicity of BIBF was assessed using the CCK-8 assay, and further techniques such as transmission electron microscopy, Western blotting (WB), and flow cytometry were employed to demonstrate that BIBF could block the autophagic pathway by inhibiting the fusion of autophagosomes and lysosomes, ultimately limiting the proliferation of GBM cells.

Glioblastoma is one of the most aggressive brain cancers, characterized by active infiltrative growth and high resistance to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Sesquiterpene triterpenoids (STLs) and their semi-synthetic analogs are considered as a promising source of novel anti-tumor agents due to their low systemic toxicity and multi-target pharmacological effects on key processes associated with tumor progression. The current review aims to systematize the knowledge on the anti-glioblastoma potential of STLs accumulated over the last decade and to identify key processes in glioblastoma cells that are most susceptible to the action of STLs.
