A series of 5-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinones analogues was synthesized from juglone (6) and their antiproliferative activity against a representative panel of six human solid tumor cell lines has been investigated. The 2,5-dihydroxy-3-(3-methylbut-2-enyl)naphthalene-1,4-dione (4) and 2,3-dihydro-5-hydroxy-2-(prop-1-en-2-yl)naphtho[2,3-b]furan-4,9-dione (27) were the most potent antiproliferative agents with GI(50) values of 0.42-8.1 and 0.80-2.2microM, respectively. The results provide insight into the correlation between some structural properties of 5-hydroxynaphthoquinones and their antiproliferative activity.

An unrevealed dihydroflavone-monoterpene conjugate (1), two unrevealed kavalactones (2-3, including one with an uncommon side chain), and thirteen previously identified compounds (4-16) were extracted from Alpinia katsumadai Hayata. seeds. The two-dimension structures of the new compounds were authenticated utilizing HRESIMS as well as NMR spectral analysis, while their absolute chiral configurations were ascertained either by correlating the experimental and simulated values of electronic circular dichroism (ECD) patterns or conducting X-ray diffraction experiments.

The fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO) is an RNA demethylase required for catalytic demethylation of -methyladenosine (mA); it is highly expressed and functions as an oncogene in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Currently, the overarching objective of targeting FTO is to precisely inhibit the catalytic activity. Meanwhile, whether FTO degradation also exerts antileukemic effects remains unknown.

Multiple next-generation molecules targeting estrogen receptor α (ERα) are being investigated in breast cancer clinical trials, encompassing thousands of women globally. Development of these molecules was partly motivated by the discovery of resistance-associated mutations in ESR1 (encodes ERα). Here, we studied the impact of ERα antagonist/degraders against Esr1 mutations expressed in mouse mammary glands.

The chemical constituents from the stems and leaves of Mycetia hainanensis were isolated by silica gel, ODS gel, and Sephadex LH-20 gel column chromatography and preparative HPLC. The chemical structures of all the isolated compounds were identified on the basis of their physicochemical properties, spectroscopic data, as well as the comparison of their physicochemical and spectroscopic data with the reported data in literature. Twelve compounds were isolated from the 85% ethanol extract of the stems and leaves of M.
