Unlabelled: Lupeol (LP) and Mangiferin (MG) have beneficial effects on health. However, their pharmacokinetic properties can affect their bioavailability when administered orally. Therefore, their incorporation as a vehicle in a hybrid matrix of ZnO and PLGA could contribute to improving bioavailability.
Methods: This study aimed to develop this matrix and evaluate the optical and bioactive properties obtained by the solvent emulsion and evaporation methods. These were subjected to processes to evaluate their bioactivity in relation with topoisomerase.
Results: Functionalized treatment number 15 (T15) showed the best results in studies of controlled release and encapsulation efficiency of lupeol (LP) and mangiferin (MG) (60.01 ± 1.24% and 57.71 ± 1.94%). The best treatment showed behavior as a topoisomerase II inhibitor (18.60 ± 1.55). The nanoparticles developed in this study did not show a cytotoxic effect on BEAS-2B, while HepG2, showed a decrease in viability (IC50 1549.96 ± 174.62 μg/mL). However, although the hemolytic activity is not shown after 1 h of exposure, morphological alterations caused by T15 are observed at concentrations of 2500 and 1250 μg/mL.
Conclusion: The TF15 treatment shown maintaining antitopoisomerasa activity does and does not cytotoxixity for healthy cells and slows down the growth of cancer cells.

Seven diterpenoids including five ent-cleistanthanes (1, 2, 4-6) and two ent-pimaranes (3, 7) were isolated for the first time from the aerial part of Phyllanthus franchetianus H. Lév. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of the extensive spectroscopic analyses, single-crystal X-ray diffraction and ECD analysis.

Bioinspired from cationic antimicrobial peptides, sequence-defined triazolium-grafted peptoid oligomers (6- to 12-mer) were designed to adopt an amphipathic helical polyproline I-type structure. Their evaluation on a panel of bacterial strains (, , , and ), pathogenic fungi (, , and ), and human cells (hRBC, BEAS-2B, Caco-2, HaCaT, and HepG2) enabled the identification of two heptamers with improved activity to selectively fight pathogens. Modulation of parameters such as the nature of the triazolium and hydrophobic/lipophilic side chains, the charge content, and the sequence length drastically potentiates activity and selectivity.

Article Synopsis
- Funtumine, a steroidal alkaloid, shows moderate anticancer activity, leading to the development of new derivatives to enhance its effectiveness.
- Researchers identified these new funtumine amide/sulfonamide compounds using spectroscopy and confirmed their structures with X-ray diffraction.
- Biological tests showed that some derivatives, especially compound 4i, were more effective than the standard drug 5-Fluorouracil against cancer cell lines, while being less harmful to normal human cells.
Effects of multi-walled carbon nanotubes on gene and microRNA expression in human hepatocarcinoma HepG2 cells.

The usage of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) has increased exponentially in the past years, but, potential toxicity mechanisms are not clear. We studied the transcriptomic alterations induced by one multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) and its -OH and -COOH functionalized derivatives in human HepG2 cells. We showed that all three MWCNT treatments induced alterations in stress-related signaling pathways, inflammation-related signaling pathways, cholesterol synthesis pathways, proliferation-related pathways, senescence-related pathways and cancer-related pathways.

Most platinum group-based cyclometalated neutral and cationic anticancer complexes with the general formula [(C^N)Ir(XY)] (neutral complex: XY = bidentate anionic ligand; cationic complex: XY = bidentate neutral ligand) are notable owing to their intrinsic luminescence properties, good cell permeability, interaction with some biomolecular targets and unique mechanisms of action (MoAs). We herein synthesized a series of neutral and cationic amine-imine cyclometalated iridium(III) complexes using Schiff base ligands with sp-N/sp-N N^NH chelating donors. The cyclometalated iridium(III) complexes were identified by various techniques.
