Structure-activity relationships (SAR) in 2,5-dichloro-N-(2-methyl-4-nitrophenyl)benzenesulfonamide (FH535) were examined as part of a program to identify agents that inhibit the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway that is frequently upregulated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). FH535 was reported as an inhibitor of both β-catenin in the Wnt signaling pathway and the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR). A β-catenin/T-cell factor (TCF)/Lymphoid-enhancer factor (LEF)-dependent assay (i.e., luciferase-based TOPFlash assay) as well as a [(3)H]-thymidine incorporation assay were used to explore SAR modifications of FH535. Although replacing the 2,5-dichlorophenylsulfonyl substituent in FH535 with a 2,6-dihalogenation pattern generally produced more biologically active analogs than FH535, other SAR modifications led only to FH535 analogs with comparable or slightly improved activity in these two assays. The absence of a clear SAR pattern in activity suggested a multiplicity of target effectors for N-aryl benzenesulfonamides.

Melanoma is the most invasive and lethal form of skin cancer that arises from the malignant transformation of specialized pigment-producing cell melanocytes. Nanomedicine represents an important prospect to mitigate the difficulties and provide significant benefits to cure melanoma. In the present study, we investigated and therapeutic efficacies of copper nitroprusside analogue nanoparticles (abbreviated as CuNPANP) towards melanoma.

Purpose: Corneal limbal stem cell (LSC) transplantation has been reported as a potential approach to treat the damaged corneal epithelium. Scaffolds such as human amniotic membrane (hAM) are commonly employed for the culture and as a carrier during transplantation. However, they carry the risk of biological contamination and donor to donor variability.

Introduction: Worldwide, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women and is the main cause of death among all neoplasia in this group. Luminal A breast cancer represents approximately 70% of all breast cancers and is treated with hormone therapies targeting estrogen receptor alpha (ERα). Unfortunately, patients develop drug resistance leading to recurrence of neoplasia due to estrogen-independent ERα reactivation.
