Similarity evaluation of complicated chromatographic profiles is a potential protocol for the identification and quality control of herbal medicinal products to ensure their biological activity. In this work, a high-performance liquid chromatography method was established for controlling the batch quality of the extract from Portulaca oleracea L. Using this method, the coefficients of correlation of the similarity of 10 batches extract of P. oleracea L. were ≥ 0.97. The 10 batch extracts from P. oleracea L. possessed stable antiproliferative activity in Aspergillus flavus. The antiproliferative activity stability is correlated with the stability quality of the of the extract from P. oleracea L. Therefore, the present study successfully set up a sensitive and efficient method which might be used to guarantee stable biological activity of the extract from P. oleracea L.

The labile tautomerism of -unsubstituted 5-acyl-4-pyridones, which exist in the form of 4-pyridone or 4-hydroxypyridine depending on the solvent, has been demonstrated. This equilibrium determines the reactivity of pyridones and their ability to undergo substitution reactions of the OH group. A regioselective and convenient method for the construction of functionalized pyrazolo[4,3-]pyridines (30-93%) based on the intramolecular amination reaction of 4-pyridones with hydrazines has been developed.

This study aimed to design a novel liposome containing GA modified phosphatidylcholine lipid (GA-PC Lip) and determine its susceptibility to tumor over-expressed secretory phospholipase A (sPLA) and its anti-cancer effect compared to conventional liposomes (Convention Lip). The liposomes were characterized for size, drug loading, encapsulation efficiency, and stability. A 6-CF release assay was conducted to assess the sensitivity of the liposomes to the tumor-overexpressed secretory phospholipase A (sPLA).

The role of the electron transport chain (ETC) in cell proliferation control beyond its crucial function in supporting ATP generation has recently emerged. In this study, we found that, among the four ETC complexes, the complex I (CI)-mediated NAD regeneration is important for cancer cell proliferation. In cancer cells, a decrease in CI activity by RNA interference (RNAi) against NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase core subunit V1 (NDUFV1) arrested the cell cycle at the G/S phase, accompanying upregulation of p21 cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor expression.

Histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) is a well-established target for cancer therapy. Herein, we developed as a novel HDAC3 inhibitor, which exhibited high HDAC3 inhibitory activity (IC = 42 nM, SI > 161) and displayed potent antiproliferative activity against four cancer cells and further demonstrated excellent antimigratory, anti-invasive, and antiwound healing activities. Further studies revealed that induced a dose-dependent increase in Ac-H3 expression and promoted the degradation of PD-L1.

Estrogen receptor β (ERβ) is aberrantly expressed in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Therefore, a diagnostic and therapeutic ERβ probe not only helps to reveal the complex role of ERβ in prostate cancer (PCa), but also promotes ERβ-targeted PCa therapy. Herein, we reported a novel ERβ-targeted near-infrared fluorescent probe D3 with both imaging and therapeutic functions, which had the advantages of high ERβ selectivity, good optical performance, and strong anti-interference ability.
