Three new steroidal glycosides, metapregnoside A-C (-), together with one known compound, byzantionoside B (), were isolated from the fresh whole herb of by using high-speed countercurrent chromatography and semi-preparative liquid chromatography. Their structures and relative configurations were elucidated by spectroscopic methods including 1D NMR, 2D NMR and HR-ESI-MS. The potential targets of compound - were identified by virtual screening. And the potential inhibitory effects of these compounds on tyrosine protein kinases were compared by molecular docking. Byzantionoside B () was the first isolated compound from genus. The docking score of metapregnoside C () was the highest. And the sugar chain residues at position C-20 in the pregn-4-en-3-one derivatives is the main factor affecting their docking scores on tyrosine protein kinases Fes/Fps.

Pathogenic activating mutations in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) drive disease maintenance and progression in urothelial cancer. 10-15% of muscle-invasive and metastatic urothelial cancer (MIBC/mUC) are FGFR3-mutant. Selective targeting of FGFR3 hotspot mutations with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (e.

Taltirelin, an orally effective thyrotropin-releasing hormone analog, significantly improves motor impairments in rat models of Parkinson's disease (PD) and enhances dopamine release within the striatum. However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. In this study, a variety of in vivo and in vitro methods, including transcriptomic analysis, were employed to elucidate the effects of Taltirelin on cellular composition and signaling pathways in the striatum of hemi-PD rats.

Background: Qi Li Qiang Xin (QLQX) capsule has a solid theoretical basis and clinical efficacy in the treatment of chronic heart failure; however, the underlying mechanisms remain obscure. This study was designed to determine the effect of the QLQX on the treatment of heart failure and delineate the underlying mechanisms via a nontargeted metabolomics and lipidomics approach.
Methods: A rat model of heart failure after myocardial infarction (MI) was established via permanent ligation of the anterior descending branch of the left coronary artery.

Apo-transferrin (apo-TRF) is a vital protein for maintaining iron balance in the body, which is produced by the liver. Indisulam (IDM) has been extensively used to treat cancer in clinical study and has been identified as a molecular glue. Iron imbalances in the body are believed to encourage the growth and spread of cancer cells.

Immunotherapy is one of the research hotspots in colorectal cancer field in recent years. The colorectal cancer patients with mismatch repair-deficient (dMMR) or high microsatellite instability (MSI-H) are the primary beneficiaries of immunotherapy. However, the vast majority of colorectal cancers are mismatch repair proficient (pMMR) or microsatellite stability (MSS), and their immune microenvironment is characterized by "cold tumors" that are generally insensitive to single immunotherapy based on immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs).
