Acute lung injury (ALI) is a devastating clinical syndrome without effective therapy. Celastrol, as a natural anti-inflammatory compound, has showed therapeutic potential against inflammatory diseases. In this study, we have investigated the potential effect of Celastrol on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI.

Tripterygium hypoglaucum (Lévl.) Hutch rhizome (THH) is mainly used in the clinical setting for the treatment of autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. In total, four active compounds were isolated from THH methanol extract (THH-MeOH)and identified.

Increasing evidence suggests that the mononuclear/macrophage system is vital in amplifying the inflammatory cascade in IgA Nephropathy (IgAN). However, the pathogenic mechanism of macrophages in IgAN and targeted treatment strategies still need to be explored. This study found that botanical triterpene celastrol (CLT) effectively alleviated renal lesions, M1-like macrophage infiltration, inflammatory factors production, and improved renal function in IgAN mice.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a dynamic process associated with inflammation, oxidative stress, and lipid peroxidation, in which mitochondrial mitophagy and macrophage polarization play a critical role in the pathophysiology. Based on the expression of the CD44 receptor on renal tubular epithelial cells (RTECs) and activated M1 macrophages being abnormally increased, accompanied by up-regulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) during AKI, the conjugates of bilirubin (BR), an endogenous antioxidant which has the property of anti-inflammation, and chondroitin sulfate (CS) with CD44-targeting property could be a promising therapeutic carrier. In this study, we develop a CD44-targeted/ROS-responsive CS-BR-mediated multifunctional liposome loading celastrol (CS-BR@CLT) for the targeted therapy of AKI.

Acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are common causes of respiratory failure in critically ill patients. There is still a lack of definitive and effective treatment options, and the mortality rate remains as high as 30% to 40%. Effective therapeutics for ALI/ARDS are greatly hindered by the side effects resulting from inefficient delivery to the disease lesions and off-targeting biodistribution of drugs.
