PI3Kδ mediates key immune cell signaling pathways and is a target of interest for multiple indications in immunology and oncology. Here we report a structure-based scaffold-hopping strategy for the design of chemically diverse PI3Kδ inhibitors. Using this strategy, we identified several scaffolds that can be combined to generate new PI3Kδ inhibitors with high potency and isoform selectivity. In particular, an oxindole-based scaffold was found to impart exquisite selectivity when combined with several hinge binding motifs.

Objective And Significance: Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) plays a pivotal role in breast development by modulating tissue composition during the developmental phase. The TGFβ type II receptor (TGFβ RII) is implicated in breast cancer and represents a valuable therapeutic target. Due to the off-target side effects of many existing TGFβI/TGFβ RII inhibitors, a more targeted approach to drug discovery is necessary.

EGFR inhibitors are a class of targeted therapies utilized in the management of certain tumor kinds such as NSCLC and breast cancer. Series of 1,2,3-triazole-Schiff's base hybrids were designed, synthesized, and estimated for their antitumor effect toward breast cancer cells, MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231. The safety and selectivity of the new compounds were tested using normal cell (WI-38).

Mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor inhibits neuroinflammation through autophagy-mediated α-synuclein degradation.

Article Synopsis
  • Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by the loss of dopamine neurons and is influenced by α-synuclein aggregation and neuroinflammation, with microglia playing a key role.
  • Previous research identified mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) as a potential inhibitor of α-synuclein accumulation and neuroinflammation, though its molecular mechanisms were not fully understood.
  • This study found that reducing MANF expression increased inflammation (TNF-α), while exogenous MANF promoted autophagy, reduced α-synuclein levels, and inhibited neuroinflammation, suggesting that MANF could be a therapeutic target for PD through its role in autophagy.

Hyaluronan Directs Alveolar Type II Cell Response to Acute Ozone Exposure in Mice.

Am J Respir Cell Mol Biol

January 2025

Duke Medicine, Medicine, Durham, North Carolina, United States.

Becoming more frequent due to climate change, ozone (O) exposures can cause lung injury. Alveolar type 2 (AT2) cells and hyaluronan (HA), a matrix component, are critical to repairing lung injury and restoring homeostasis. Here, we define the impact of HA on AT2 cells following acute O exposure.

Purpose: The treatment landscape for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) has evolved in recent years with the use of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and immuno-oncology (IO) therapies. This study examined patient characteristics, treatment patterns, health care resource utilization (HCRU), costs, and survival for individuals with mRCC who received either IO + IO or IO + TKI combinations as first-line (1L) regimens.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study used integrated claims and clinical data from a commercial health plan to study adults with mRCC who began 1L treatment between April 1, 2018, and January 31, 2023.
