Background: Glioblastoma (GBM) is a rare brain cancer with an exceptionally high mortality rate, which illustrates the pressing demand for more effective therapeutic options. Despite considerable research efforts on GBM, its underlying biological mechanisms remain unclear. Furthermore, none of the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved drugs used for GBM deliver satisfactory survival improvement.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most prevalent malignant tumors globally, significantly affecting liver functions, thus necessitating the identification of biomarkers and effective therapeutics to improve HCC-based disabilities. This study aimed to identify prognostic biomarkers, signaling cascades, and candidate drugs for the treatment of HCC through integrated bioinformatics approaches such as functional enrichment analysis, survival analysis, molecular docking, and simulation. Differential expression and functional enrichment analyses revealed 176 common differentially expressed genes from two microarray datasets, GSE29721 and GSE49515, significantly involved in HCC development and progression.

In this study, we report for the first time a microwave-accelerated synthesis of purine and pyrimidine nucleoside triphosphate prodrugs, whose γ phosphate is masked with an aryloxy moiety and an amino acid ester (γ-ProTriP). The synthetic utility of this method is illustrated by the synthesis of triphosphate prodrugs of clofarabine and gemcitabine, two FDA-approved anticancer drugs. These new prodrugs showed good chemical and rat serum stability.

Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) are established anticancer drugs, especially in hematological cancers. This study aimed to design, synthesize, and evaluate a set of HDACi featuring a pentyloxyamide connecting unit linker region and substituted phenylthiazole cap groups. A structural optimization program yielded HDACi with nanomolar inhibitory activity against histone deacetylase class I/IIb enzymes.
