Esterification of 3-hydroxyl group in 11-acyloxyestra-1,3,5(10)-trienes with p-[bis(2-chloroethyl)amino]phenylacetic acid led to antitumor steroids displaying antiestrogenic and cytotoxic activities. Our substances exhibit their activities on the model of murine mammary adenocarcinoma Ca-755, with inhibition of the tumor growth being 94-99%. A new approach was used for the 11alpha-hydroxylation of estra-1,3,5(10)-trienes.

The Role of Scavenger Receptor BI in Sepsis.
Int J Mol Sci

Sepsis is a life-threatening condition resulting from a dysregulated host response to infection. Currently, there is no effective therapy for sepsis due to an incomplete understanding of its pathogenesis. Scavenger receptor BI (SR-BI) is a high-density lipoprotein (HDL) receptor that plays a key role in HDL metabolism by modulating the selective uptake of cholesteryl ester from HDL.

Numerous compounds with useful biological activities were previously prepared by tethering ferrocene to natural product scaffolds. Some conjugates of ferrocene and steroids in particular were demonstrated to act as both potent and selective antiproliferative agents. Motivated by a lack of structural diversity in the pregnane series of conjugates, we performed chemical modifications of several naturally occurring progestogens, their biosynthetic precursors and chemically related derivatives so as to obtain conjugates 1-8, in which the steroid skeleton and ferrocene core are linked by the steroid sidechain.

Department of Gastroenterology, Asan Medical Center, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, 88 Olympic-ro 43-gil, Songpa-gu, Seoul 05505, Republic of Korea.
Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-induced colitis is a significant adverse event associated with ICI therapy, known to be linked to increased cytotoxic T-cell activity.
Objectives: To compare T-cell subsets based on the endoscopic features of ICI-induced colitis and to compare these findings with those of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Design: Prospective cohort study.
Structures and Biological Activities of Secondary Metabolites from spp.

The genus have long been recognized as a source of structural novel, pharmaceutically relevant natural products. We reviewed the structures and activities of secondary metabolites isolated from the genus of from January 1995 to June 2024, and 280 compounds, including six major categories-terpenoids, alkaloids, polyketides, polyphenols, steroids, and other classes-are presented in this review. Among these metabolites, 196 were identified as new structures.
