A series of 9-anilinoacridines substituted with oxazine derivatives were synthesized to evaluate their antioxidant and anticancer activity against Daltons Lymphoma Ascites (DLA) cell growth by in vitro method. It was revealed that these conjugates exhibited significant antioxidant and anticancer activity (inhibition of DLA cell proliferation). Among these agents, compounds 5a, 5h, 5i, 5j were the most cytotoxic with CTC(50) value of 140-250 μg/mL. The docking studies of the synthesized compounds were performed towards the key Topoisomerase II (1QZR) by using Schrodinger Maestro 9.2 version. The oxazine substituted 9-anilinoacridine derivatives 5a, 5h, 5i, 5j have significant anticancer activity as topoisomerase II inhibitors.

Background: Doxorubicin (DOX) is a widely used anticancer drug; However, its nephrotoxicity limits its therapeutic efficacy. This study investigates the protective effects of Perilla Alcohol (PA) against DOX-induced nephrotic syndrome (NS), focusing on its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties through the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) pathways.
Methods: A DOX-induced nephrotic syndrome (NS) rat model and a DOX-treated Mouse Podocyte Cell line 5 (MPC5) cell model were used to evaluate the renal protective effects of PA.

The Amazon rainforest is renowned for its biodiversity and as a reservoir of edible and medicinal plants. The phytochemicals in murici and taperebá fruits serve as natural antioxidants, contributing to cultural preservation, ecosystem protection, and economic opportunities. However, limited scientific research on their composition and health benefits hinders their recognition as functional foods.

Background: Novel platforms using nanotechnology-based medicines have exponentially increased in our daily lives. The unique characteristics of metal oxide and noble metals nanoparticles make them suitable for different fields including antimicrobial agents, cosmetics, textiles, wound dressings, and anticancer drug carriers.
Methods: This study focuses on the biosynthesis of small-sized SNPs using exo-metabolites of Fusarium oxysporum via bioprocess optimization using Plackett-Burman (PBD) and central composite designs (CCD) while evaluating their multifaceted bioactivities.
