Structure-based rational design led to the synthesis of a novel series of potent PI3K inhibitors. The optimized pyrrolopyridine analogue 63 was a potent and selective PI3Kβ/δ dual inhibitor that displayed suitable physicochemical properties and pharmacokinetic profile for animal studies. Analogue 63 was found to be efficacious in animal models of inflammation including a keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) study and a collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) disease model of rheumatoid arthritis. These studies highlight the potential therapeutic value of inhibiting both the PI3Kβ and δ isoforms in the treatment of a number of inflammatory diseases.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is one of the most fatal malignancies in the world, accounting for 42% of all deaths due to metastasis. The significant development is hindered by the multi-drug resistance and poor patient compliance. PIK3CA gene mutation is one of the important causes of TNBC, which causes dysregulation of the cell cycle and cell proliferation.

Common treatment approaches for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) are associated with severe side effects due to the unfavorable biodistribution profile of potent chemotherapeutics. Here, we explored the potential of TNBC-targeting aptamer-decorated porous silicon nanoparticles (pSiNPs) as targeted nanocarriers for TNBC. A "salt-aging" strategy was employed to fabricate a TNBC-targeting aptamer functionalized pSiNP that was highly colloidally stable.

The emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens, coupled with the limited effectiveness of existing antibiotics in eradicating biofilms, presents a significant threat to global health care. This critical situation underscores the urgent need for the discovery and development of antimicrobial agents. Recently, peptide-derived antimicrobial nanomaterials have shown promise in combating such infections.

The leukotriene B4 receptor 2 (BLT2) is a G-protein coupled receptor, which is endogenously activated by 12()-hydroxyheptadeca-5Z,8E,10E-trienoic acid (12-HHT). BLT2 is gaining attention as a potential therapeutic target involved in various pathologies including diabetic wound healing, ophthalmic diseases, and colitis. However, validation of BLT2 as drug target requires chemical probes and pharmacological tools which will allow for application in vivo.

Dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) is a mitochondrial fission protein and a viable target for cardioprotection against myocardial ischaemia-reperfusion injury. Here, we reported a novel Drp1 inhibitor (DRP1i1), delivered using a cardiac-targeted nanoparticle drug delivery system, as a more effective approach for achieving acute cardioprotection. DRP1i1 was encapsulated in cubosome nanoparticles with conjugated cardiac-homing peptides (NanoDRP1i1) and the encapsulation efficiency was 99.
