AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Syntheses and structure-antiproliferative relationship for oxyphenisatin analogues are described. The cell proliferation data showed that the presence of substituents (especially F, Cl, Me, CF(3), and OMe) in the 6- and 7-position of oxyphenisatin markedly enhanced the potency in the MDA-468 cell line without affecting the MDA-231 cell line. The best compounds from this series showed low nanomolar antiproliferative activity towards the MDA-468 cell line and a 1000-fold selectivity over the MDA-231 cell line.

The tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) plays a critical role in cancer development and response to immunotherapy. Immune checkpoint inhibitors aim to reverse the immunosuppressive effects of the TIME, but their success has been limited. Immunotherapy directed at PD-1/PD-L1 has been widely employed, yielding positive results.

Quercetin, a well-known flavonoid with significant medicinal potential, was derivatized at the C8 position with a tetrahydroisoquinoline (THIQ) moiety, and physicochemical and pharmacological properties, inhibition potential, antioxidant activity, and cytotoxicity of new compounds were evaluated. Physicochemical and pharmacological properties, including lipophilicity, membrane permeability, and P-glycoprotein substrate affinity, were assessed theoretically using the SwissADME software. The metal-chelating ability of the new compounds was evaluated on metal ions Fe, Zn, and Cu, whose homeostasis disruption is linked to the development of Alzheimer's disease.

Immunogold labeling in transmission electron microscopy (TEM) utilizes the high electron density of gold nanoparticles conjugated to proteins to identify specific antigens in biological samples. In this work we applied the concept of immunogold labeling for the labeling of negatively charged phospholipids, namely phosphatidylserine, by a simple protocol, performed entirely in the liquid-phase, from which cryo-TEM specimens can be directly prepared. Labeling included a two-step process using biotinylated annexin-V and gold-conjugated streptavidin.

Previous studies from our group and others have shown that current drug treatment(s) strategies eliminate bulk of tumor cells (non-CSCs) but it had a minimal effect on cancer stem cells (CSCs) leading to resistance and tumor recurrence. We studied the effects of CFM-4.16 (CARP-1 functional mimetic) and/or cisplatin on four Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) MDA-MB-468, MDA-MB-231, CRL-2335 and BR-1126, two cisplatin resistant CisR/MDA-231 and CisR/MDA-468 and cancer stem cells (CSCs) from resistant cell lines.

Background: The lack of molecular targets for triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) has limited treatment options and reduced survivorship. Identifying new molecular targets may help improve patient survival and decrease recurrence and metastasis. As DNA repair defects are prevalent in breast cancer, we evaluated the expression and repair capacities of DNA repair proteins in preclinical models.
