The constitutively active Abl kinase activity of the Bcr-Abl oncoprotein is causative for chronic myelogenous leukemia. Urea derivatives, structurally related to the therapeutic agent STI571, have been identified, which potently inhibit the tyrosine kinase activity of recombinant Abl. In particular a dimethylamino-aniline derivative (18) inhibited c-Abl transphosphorylation with an IC(50) value of 56 nM. Although this activity was not translated into cellular activity against the constitutively activated oncogenic Bcr-Abl, a number of compounds from this series potently inhibited cellular PDGFR autophosphorylation. It was also possible to differentiate between c-Abl and PDGFR kinase inhibition, with compound 22 being selective towards Abl and 23 selective for PDGFR.

Background: Sorafenib, an FDA-approved drug for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), faces resistance issues, partly due to myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) that enhance immunosuppression in the tumor microenvironment (TME).
Methods: Various murine HCC cell lines and MDSCs were used in a series of in vitro and in vivo experiments. These included subcutaneous tumor models, cell viability assays, flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, and RNA sequencing.

The cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of the interferon genes (STING) pathway plays a key role in triggering interferon and inflammatory responses against microbial invasion or tumor. However, aberrant activation of the cGAS-STING pathway is associated with a variety of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, and thus inhibition of STING is regarded as a potential new approach to treating these diseases. Herein, we report a series of novel indolyl-urea derivatives as STING inhibitors.

Adverse drug reactions (ADR) remain a challenge in modern healthcare, particularly given the increasing complexity of therapeutics. WHO's definition of an adverse drug reaction as a response to a drug that is noxious and unintended and occurs at doses normally used in man for the prophylaxis, diagnosis or therapy of disease, or for modification of physiological function. This definition underscores the importance of monitoring and mitigating unintended drug effects, particularly for widely used medications like valproic acid (VPA).

Background: Spotted scat, a marine aquaculture fish, has variable body color development stages during their ontogenesis. However, the regulatory mechanism of body color patterns formation was poorly understood. Thyroid hormones (TH) function as an important endocrine factor in regulating metamorphosis.

Metal-free photocatalysts derived from earth-abundant elements have drawn significant attention owing to their ample supply for potential large-scale applications. However, it is still challenging to achieve highly efficient photocatalytic performance owing to their sluggish charge separation and lack of active catalytic sites. Herein, we designed and constructed a series of covalently bonded organic semiconductors to enhance water splitting and phenol degradation.
