Background: Naringenin, a flavonoid compound found in citrus fruits, possesses valuable anticancer properties. However, its potential application in cancer treatment is limited by poor bioavailability and pharmacokinetics at tumor sites. To address this, Naringenin nanoparticles (NARNPs) were prepared using the emulsion diffusion technique and their anticancer effects were investigated in HepG2 cells.

Corticospinal motor neurons (CSMN), located in the motor cortex of the brain, are one of the key components of the motor neuron circuitry. They are in part responsible for the initiation and modulation of voluntary movement, and their degeneration is the hallmark for numerous diseases, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), hereditary spastic paraplegia, and primary lateral sclerosis. Cortical hyperexcitation followed by in-excitability suggests the early involvement of cortical dysfunction in ALS pathology.

In this study, novel 2-styrylquinoline derivatives possessing a planar aromatic system and a flexible side chain with an amino substituent were designed and synthesized as DNA-intercalating antitumor agents. The cytotoxic activity of the synthesized compounds was evaluated against four cancer cell lines including MCF-7 (breast cancer cells), A549 (lung epithelial cancer cells), HCT116 (colon cancer cells) and normal cell line L929 (mouse fibroblast cell line). The results displayed that the anti-cancer activity of the target quinolines is sensitive to the lipophilic nature of the C-6 and C-7 quinoline substituents.

Efficient analysis of active ingredient in complex natural products is crucial for drug discovery, but developing a simple method for this is challenging. The discovery of drugs against bacterial resistance is urgent because drug-resistant bacteria produce β-lactamases, which inactivate antibiotics and increase infection risks, particularly the AmpC β-lactamase. Here, an integrated analytical model based on colorimetric sensing and magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) affinity chromatography was developed for screening AmpC β-lactamase inhibitors.
