We present a simple and label-free approach to characterize glutathione (GSH)-trapped reactive metabolites from a single LC-MS analysis employing a linear ion trap mass spectrometer. The GSH specific fragment anion m/z 272 was first generated from the nonselective in-source fragmentation of intact conjugates. GSH conjugates were then detected by selected reaction monitoring (SRM) of the anion pair m/z 272 → 179 or 210. The resultant SRM peaks represented putative GSH conjugates which were then further characterized from their MS and MS(2) data acquired in both positive and negative ion modes. The method is demonstrated with test compounds that are all known to form GSH conjugates.

Loading drug-maleimide (MAL) conjugates into liposomes preloaded with glutathione (GSH) can prepare the liposome encapsulating GSH-conjugated prodrugs, which serve as a feasible way to construct liposomal formulation. However, the effects ofthelinker on the development of this liposomal system remained unclear. Herein, docetaxel (DTX)-MAL conjugates linked by various linkers were used for such studies.

Chemotherapy remains the primary treatment modality for breast cancer (BCa) patients. However, chemoresistance commonly arises in clinical settings, contributing to poor prognosis. The development of chemoresistance is a dynamic and complex process involving the activation of oncogenes and inactivation of tumor suppressor genes.

Resistance by bacteria to available antibiotics is a threat to human health, which demands the development of new antibacterial agents. Considering the prevailing conditions, we have developed a library of new naphthalimide-coumarin moieties as broad-spectrum antibacterial agents to fight against awful drug resistance. Preliminary studies indicate that compounds and display excellent antibacterial activity against , exceeding the performance of marketed drug amoxicillin.

Adverse complications like metabolic disorders, neurotoxicity, and low central nervous system (CNS) penetration are associated with the long-term use of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF). Therefore, some modifications are required to enhance neurological functions using silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). This study aimed to evaluate the neuroprotective impact of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs)-conjugated TDF as AgNPs-TDF on the hippocampal microanatomy and some neuro-biomarkers of diabetic rats.

Erastin, as an effective ferroptosis inducer, has received extensive attention in anti-tumor research. To develop an oral nanocarrier for high efficient loading hydrophobic erastin, here we prepared a fluoro-liposome (FA-3 F-LS) by the self-assembly of the folic acid modified fluorinated amphiphiles-FA-3 F conjugates. The hydrophobic component of three perfluorooctyl chains endows the FA-3 F-LSs with high stability to resist the harsh gastrointestinal tract condition.
