Introduction: Treatment with Sunitinib, a potent multitargeted receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) has increased the progression-free survival (PFS) and overall-survival (OS) of patients with metastasized renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). With modest OS improvement and variable response and toxicity predictive and/or prognostic biomarkers are needed to personalize patient management: Prediction of individual TKI therapy response and resistance will increase successful treatment outcome while reducing unnecessary drug use and expense. The aim of this study was to investigate whether kinase activity analysis can predict sunitinib response and/or toxicity using tissue samples obtained from primary clear cell RCC (ccRCC) from a cohort of clinically annotated patients with mRCC receiving sunitinib as first-line treatment.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is marked by cognitive decline, amyloid plaques, neurofibrillary tangles, and cholinergic loss. Due to the limited success of amyloid-targeted therapies, attention has shifted to new non-amyloid targets like phosphodiesterases (PDE). This study investigates the potential of Flemingia vestita (FV) phytomolecules and derivatives, particularly 8-Prenyldaidzein, in AD treatment.

Cancer remains a significant global challenge, and despite the numerous strategies developed to advance cancer therapy, an effective cure for metastatic cancer remains elusive. A major hurdle in treatment success is the ability of cancer cells, particularly cancer stem cells (CSCs), to resist therapy. These CSCs possess unique abilities, including self-renewal, differentiation, and repair, which drive tumor progression and chemotherapy resistance.

Thyroid cancer (TC) being the common endocrine malignancy is glooming steadily due to its poor prognosis. The treatment strategies of surgery, radiotherapy, and conventional chemotherapy are providing unsatisfactory output. However, combination therapy can negotiate the worse prognosis to the better, where chemoradiotherapy, radiotherapy with surgery, or dual chemotherapeutic drugs are being glorified.

Marine-derived peptides display potent antihypertensive, antioxidant, analgesic and antimicrobial biological effects. Some of them have also been found to have anticancer activity via various mechanisms differing from those of continental organisms. This diversity of properties-together with the peptides' efficacy, which has been confirmed in several in vitro and in vivo studies-make these compounds attractive as functional ingredients in pharmacy, especially in regard to multitarget drugs known as hybrids.
