Objectives: PD15, a novel natural steroidal saponin extracted from the rhizomes of Paris delavayi Franchet, has demonstrated a strong cytotoxic effect against HepG2 and U87MG cells. However, its therapeutic effects on colorectal cancer (CRC) and the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear.
Methods: MTT assay, clonogenic assay, Hoechst 33258 staining, flow cytometry, molecular docking, and western blot were used to investigate the mechanism of PD15 in HCT116 cell lines.

Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) has a high mortality and morbidity rate and seriously jeopardizes human life. Chemicals and chemotherapeutic agents have been experiencing problems such as side effects and drug resistance in the treatment of HCC, which cannot meet the needs of clinical treatment. Therefore, finding novel low-toxicity and high-efficiency anti-hepatocellular carcinoma drugs and exploring their mechanisms of action have become the current problems to be solved in the treatment of HCC.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common and highly lethal cancers worldwide. RIO kinase 1 (RIOK1), a protein kinase/ATPase that plays a key role in regulating translation and ribosome assembly, is associated with a variety of malignant tumors. However, the role of RIOK1 in HCC remains largely unknown.

2-Ethylhexyl diphenyl phosphate (EHDPP) is a replacement flame-retardant commonly found in several environmental matrices and human biospecimens. Although some adverse effects of EHDPP have been identified, the endocrine-disrupting effects of EHDPP and its key metabolites on the human estrogen receptor (ER) are largely unknown. Herein, we report for the first time that EHDPP, at concentrations found in the environment and humans, significantly promoted estrogenic activity and synergized with 17β-estradiol-induced ER transactivation.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for 85% of all lung cancers and over 60% express wild-type EGFR (WT-EGFR); however, EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have limited effect in most patients with WT-EGFR tumors. In this study, we applied network pharmacology screening and MTT screening of bioactive compounds to obtain one novel grifolic acid that may inhibit NSCLC through the EGFR-ERK1/2 pathway.
