The L-shaped, π-extended pentacycle dibenzopyrrolo[1,2-a][1,8]naphthyridine and its derivatives were synthesized using two methods: fully intramolecular [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition and oxidative aromatization using substituted carbodiimide and modification of an electron-rich indole ring of an L-shaped skeleton via electrophilic reaction and cross-coupling. These L-shaped compounds emitted fluorescence in high quantum yield. The position of substituents affected the fluorescence color through two different mechanisms, π-conjugation and skeletal distortion, which caused the substituted L-shaped compounds to emit fluorescence in a variety of colors and to exhibit solvato-fluorochromism.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is a primary intracranial malignant tumor with the highest mortality and morbidity among all malignant central nervous system tumors. Tanshinone IIA is a fat-soluble active ingredient obtained from Salvia miltiorrhiza, which has an inhibitory effect against various cancers. We designed and synthesized a novel L-shaped ortho-quinone analog TE5 with tanshinone IIA as the lead compound and tested its antitumor activity against GBM.

Postoperative chemotherapy relative dose intensity and overall survival in patients with colon cancer.

Cancer Chemother Pharmacol

September 2024

Kaiser Permanente Northern California, 2000 Broadway, Oakland, CA, USA.

Purpose: Quantifying the association of chemotherapy relative dose intensity (RDI) with overall survival may enable supportive care interventions that improve chemotherapy RDI to estimate their magnitude of potential clinical benefit.

Methods: This cohort study included 533 patients with stage II-III colon cancer who initiated a planned regimen of 12 cycles of 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin (FOLFOX) chemotherapy. The primary exposure was chemotherapy RDI.

P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is an important factor leading to multidrug resistance (MDR) in cancer treatment. The co-administration of anticancer drugs and P-gp inhibitors has been a treatment strategy to overcome MDR. In recent years, tyrosine kinase inhibitor Lapatinib has been reported to reverse MDR through directly interacting with ABC transporters.

Sandwich structures are engineered with continuous layers surrounding the inner lattices, which combines the advantages of the high strength of the continuous layer and the light weight of the lattice layer. They are widely employed in weight-critical energy-absorbing engineering fields such as aerospace, automobile, and robotics. However, the application of sandwich structures made of polymer matrix composites is still limited due to lack of essential performance investigation and adequate reference data.

FR901464 is a cytotoxic natural product that binds splicing factor 3B subunit 1 (SF3B1) and PHD finger protein 5A (PHF5A), the components of the human spliceosome. The amide-containing tetrahydropyran ring binds SF3B1, and it remains unclear how the substituents on the ring contribute to the binding. Here, we synthesized meayamycin D, an analogue of FR901464, and three additional analogues to probe the conformation through methyl scanning.
