A series of twenty three novel hybrids of marine bromopyrrole alkaloids with chalcone, isoxazole and flavone structural features were synthesized and evaluated for in vitro anticancer activity by MTT assay against five human cancer cell lines. Among the synthesized chalcones, hybrids 4a and 4h (IC50 range: 0.18 μM-12.00 μM) showed anticancer activity against all the tested cancer cell lines. Promising cytotoxic activities were exhibited by flavones derivatives, 5a and 5b (0.41 μM-1.28 μM) against cell lines PA1 and KB403. Isoxazole hybrids, 6b-6e selectively inhibited oral and mouth cancer cell line KB403, among which 6c (IC50 = 2.45 μM) was found to be most active.

Distinct molecular subtypes of muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) may show different platinum sensitivities. Currently available data were mostly generated at transcriptome level and have limited comparability to each other. We aimed to determine the platinum sensitivity of molecular subtypes by using the protein expression-based Lund Taxonomy.

Therapeutic hurdles persist in the fight against lung cancer, although it is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Results are still not up to par, even with the best efforts of conventional medicine, thus new avenues of investigation are required. Examining how immunotherapy, precision medicine, and AI are being used to manage lung cancer, this review shows how these tools can change the game for patients and increase their chances of survival.
