A series of novel 6-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-3-phenyl-2H-benzo[e][1,3]oxazine-2,4(3H)-dione derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their inhibitory effects on osteoclast activities by using TRAP-staining assay. Among the tested compounds, 3d and 3h exhibited more potent osteoclast-inhibitory activities than the lead compound NDMC503 (a ring-fused structure of NDMC101), as reported in our previous study. Both 3d and 3h exhibited two-fold increase in activity compared to NDMC503. In addition, our biological results indicated that 3d and 3h could suppress RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis-related marker genes, such as NFATc1, c-fos, TRAP, and cathepsin K. Notably, 3d could significantly attenuate the bone-resorbing activity of osteoclasts in the pit formation assay. Thus, this study might provide a new class of lead structures that warrant further development as potential anti-resorptive agents.

Mutations that overexpress the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) are linked to cancers like breast (15-20%), head and neck (10-15%), colorectal (5-8%), and non-small cell lung cancer (10-50%), especially in East Asian populations. EGFR activation stimulates "RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK, PI3K/Akt, and MAPK" pathways, which enhance cell division, survival, angiogenesis, and tumor growth while inhibiting apoptosis and metastasis. Secondary mutations (e.

Reduction-oxidation factor-1 or apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (Ref-1/APE1) is a crucial redox-sensitive activator of transcription factors such as NF-κB, HIF-1α, STAT-3 and others. It could contribute to key features of ocular neovascularization including inflammation and angiogenesis; these underlie diseases like neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). We previously revealed a role for Ref-1 in the growth of ocular endothelial cells and in choroidal neovascularization (CNV).

Objective: Electroacupuncture has been shown to play a neuroprotective role following ischemic stroke, but the underlying mechanism remains poorly understood. Ferroptosis has been shown to play a key role in the injury process. In the present study, we wanted to explore whether electroacupuncture could inhibit ferroptosis by promoting nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) nuclear translocation.
