A library of new imidazopyridine linked triazole hybrid conjugates (8a-r) were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxicity against four cancer cell lines namely, human lung (A549), human prostate (DU-145), human colon (HCT-116) and breast (MDA-MB 231) cancer. These conjugates exhibited good to moderate activity against the tested human cancer cell lines. Two of the conjugates (8g and 8j) showed significant antitumor activity against human lung cancer cell line (A549) with IC values of 0.51 µM and 0.63 µM respectively. Flow cytometry analysis revealed that these conjugates arrested the cell cycle at G/M phase in human lung cancer cell line (A549). Immune-histochemistry and tubulin polymerization assay suggest inhibition of tubulin. Hoechst staining, annexin V and DNA fragmentation by tunnel assay suggested that these compounds induce cell death by apoptosis. Overall, the current study demonstrates that the synthesis of imidazopyridine linked triazole conjugates as promising anticancer agents causing G/M arrest and apoptotic-inducing ability.

BACKGROUND Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy recessive 1 (LGMDR1) is an autosomal recessive degenerative muscle disorder characterized by progressive muscular weakness caused by pathogenic variants in the CAPN3 gene. Desmoplastic small round cell tumors (DSRCT) are ultra-rare and aggressive soft tissue sarcomas usually in the abdominal cavity, molecularly characterized by the presence of a EWSR1::WT1 fusion transcript. Mouse models of muscular dystrophy, including LGMDR1, present an increased risk of soft tissue sarcomas.

Cisplatin, a platinum-based chemotherapeutic agent, can be used to treat cervical cancer (CC), but cisplatin resistance is increased during the cisplatin treatment. Long non-coding RNA PGM5-AS1 reportedly participates in CC tumorigenesis; however, its role in CC patients with cisplatin resistance has not been revealed. The present aimed to examine the role of PGM5-AS1 in modulating cisplatin resistance in CC.

Germline inactivating mutations of the SLC25A1 gene contribute to various human disorders, including Velocardiofacial (VCFS), DiGeorge (DGS) syndromes and combined D/L-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria (D/L-2HGA), a severe systemic disease characterized by the accumulation of 2-hydroxyglutaric acid (2HG). The mechanisms by which SLC25A1 loss leads to these syndromes remain largely unclear. Here, we describe a mouse model of SLC25A1 deficiency that mimics human VCFS/DGS and D/L-2HGA.

The emergence of self-propelling magnetic nanobots represents a significant advancement in the field of drug delivery. These magneto-nanobots offer precise control over drug targeting and possess the capability to navigate deep into tumor tissues, thereby addressing multiple challenges associated with conventional cancer therapies. Here, Fe-GSH-Protein-Dox, a novel self-propelling magnetic nanobot conjugated with a biocompatible protein surface and loaded with doxorubicin for the treatment of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), is reported.

The introduction of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapies revolutionized treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), yet response rates remain modest, underscoring the need for predictive biomarkers. While a T cell inflamed gene expression profile (GEP) has predicted anti-PD-1 response in various cancers, it failed in a large NSCLC cohort from the Stand Up To Cancer-Mark (SU2C-MARK) Foundation. Re-analysis revealed that while the T cell inflamed GEP alone was not predictive, its performance improved significantly when combined with gene signatures of myeloid cell markers.
