GITAM School of Pharmacy, GITAM Deemed to be University, Rudraram, Patancheru, Sanga Reddy, Telangana-502329, India.
Background: Piperidines are among the essential synthetic fragments for designing drugs and play a significant role in the pharmaceutical industry. The synthesis of newer derivatives by incorporating different amines paves the way for the introduction of novel drug combinations for current cancer treatments.
Method: The new combinations of 1-(4-bromo-2-(pyrrolidine-1-yl) benzyl) piperidine derivatives were synthesized by adding various amino groups.
Predictive marker for response to trifluridine/tipiracil plus bevacizumab in metastatic colorectal cancer patients.
BMC Cancer

Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2-5-1 Shikata-Cho, Kita-Ku, Okayama, 700-8558, Japan.
Objective: Trifluridine/tipiracil (FTD/TPI) is one of the options for late-line treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the specific patient populations that would particularly benefit from it remain unclear. This study attempted to identify predictive markers of chemotherapy efficacy with trifluridine/tipiracil (FTD/TPI), focusing on the RNA-editing enzyme adenosine deaminase acting on RNA 1 (ADAR1) expression and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR).

The First Affiliated Hospital of USTC, Division of Life Sciences and Medicine, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, Anhui, China.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how intercellular calcium waves in Drosophila adipose tissues contribute to regulating multicellular responses, focusing on their dynamic behavior.
- Adipokinetic Hormone (AKH), similar to glucagon in humans, is identified as the main driver of calcium activities in the larval fat tissue, promoting lipolysis through a novel mechanism that doesn’t involve gap junctions.
- The research also finds that dietary amino acids can stimulate the release of AKH, which then enhances intracellular calcium levels and boosts lipid metabolism in adipose tissue.
