The ever-increasing consumption of various cytostatic drugs (CSDs) has attracted growing public concern in recent years. The photodegradation of 8 CSDs was investigated using a low-pressure UV-254Hg lamp, resulting in fluence-based first-order kinetic rate constants in the range of (0.20-6.97)×10cmmJ. The influence of water matrix components, including natural dissolved organic matter (DOM), bicarbonate (HCO), nitrate (NO), chloride (Cl), and sulfate (SO), was investigated. The degradation rates of CSDs decrease in the presence of DOM due to the competition for the UV light, but increase with addition of NO due to an indirect production of HO. Further investigation was carried out to evaluate the viability of UV treatment performances using two real water samples, namely treated water from a water treatment plant and secondary effluent from a wastewater treatment plant. The primary photodegradation byproducts of CSDs were identified using LC/MS/MS to investigate the mechanism of direct UV photolysis and indirect NO-induced and DOM-induced photolysis. The degradation rates of CSDs increase significantly with the addition of HO or SO under UV irradiation, due to the generation of non-selective HO or selective SO. As an electrophilic radical, SO mainly reacts via electron transfer and selectively attacks certain electron-donating functional groups of CSDs.

Thermosensitive liposomes (TSLs) have great potential for the selective delivery of cytostatic drugs to the tumor site with greatly reduced side effects. Here we report the discovery and characterization of new thermosensitive small multilamellar lipid nanoparticles (tSMLPs) with unusually high temperature selectivity. Furthermore, the temperature-dependent release of the fluorescent marker calcein from tSMLPs is enhanced by human serum albumin.

Changes to the composition of the microbiome in neoplasia, is termed oncobiosis, may affect tumor behavior through the changes to the secretion of bacterial metabolites. In this study we show, that ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), a bacterial metabolite, has cytostatic properties in pancreatic adenocarcinoma cell (PDAC) models. UDCA in concentrations corresponding to the human serum reference range suppressed PDAC cell proliferation.

The current comprehensive study showcases a meticulous synthesis of novel class of α-benzilmonoxime thiocarbohydrazide (BMOTC) derivatives, and manifesting their multifaceted potential as antibacterial, antifungal, and anticancer agents. The synthesis of target compounds was performed in three phases using literature methods. In the first step, benzilmonoxime is synthesized using benzil and hydroxyl amine hydrochloride, followed by benzilmonoxime imine using thiocarbohydrazide.

Background: The growth and drug response of tumors are influenced by their stromal composition, both in vivo and 3D-cell culture models. Cell-type inherent features as well as mutual relationships between the different cell types in a tumor might affect drug susceptibility of the tumor as a whole and/or of its cell populations. However, a lack of single-cell procedures with sufficient detail has hampered the automated observation of cell-type-specific effects in three-dimensional stroma-tumor cell co-cultures.

Article Synopsis
- Two natural -kaurene diterpenoids were extracted from a plant, and six new derivatives were synthesized for evaluation of their anti-tumor properties against three types of cancer cells (colon, liver, and melanoma).
- One synthesized compound showed the strongest anti-proliferative effects across all cell lines, with a notable IC value of around 2.5 μM, and further studies indicated that some derivatives induced a selective G2/M cell cycle arrest.
- Apoptosis analysis revealed that certain compounds led to high levels of cell death (up to 99% apoptosis), linked to mitochondrial dysfunction and the activation of the intrinsic apoptotic pathway, suggesting their potential as effective anticancer agents.
