Infections caused by antibiotic resistant bacteria are a major health concern throughout the world. It is well known that PFK-158 can enhance the antibacterial effect of polymyxin, but its own anti-bactericidal effect is rarely discussed. In order to investigate the anti-bactericidal effect of PFK-158 and its derivatives, PFK-158 and 35 derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their antibacterial activities. Compounds A1, A3, A14, A15 and B6 exhibited potent antibacterial effect against both clinical drug sensitive and resistant Gram-positive bacteria, and they are 2-8 folds more potent than levofloxacin against Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus epidermidis (MRSE). A significant synergistic effect of these compounds and polymyxin against drug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria, which is similar to PFK-158 was also observed. The result can provided a new and broader prospect for the development of new medicine against drug-resistant bacteria.

The onset and progression of atherosclerosis are closely linked to the involvement of macrophages. While the contribution of NLRP3 inflammasome activation to the creation of a local highly inflammatory microenvironment is well recognized, the precise triggers remain unclear. In this study, we aimed to investigate the regulatory mechanism of NLRP3 inflammasome activation in response to hypoxia-induced glycolysis involving PFKFB3 in the development of atherosclerosis.

Background: Aberrant lipogenicity and deregulated autophagy are common in most advanced human cancer and therapeutic strategies to exploit these pathways are currently under consideration. Group III Phospholipase A2 (sPLA2-III/PLA2G3), an atypical secretory PLA2, is recognized as a regulator of lipid metabolism associated with oncogenesis. Though recent studies reveal that high PLA2G3 expression significantly correlates with poor prognosis in several cancers, however, role of PLA2G3 in ovarian cancer (OC) pathogenesis is still undetermined.
