Glutathione-scavenging natural-derived ferroptotic nano-amplifiers strengthen tumor therapy through aggravating iron overload and lipid peroxidation.

J Control Release

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Quality Research in Chinese Medicine, Institute of Chinese Medical Sciences, University of Macau, Macau SAR 999078, China. Electronic address:

Nanomedicine-driven ferroptosis has emerged as a promising tumor treatment strategy through delivering exogenous iron and aggravating the lethal accumulation of lipid peroxides (LPO). However, the compensatory mechanisms of ferroptosis defense systems in cancer cells compromise the therapeutic efficacy and lead to potential side effects. Herein, a highly effective ferroptotic nano-amplifier is designed to synergistically promote ferroptosis via increasing intracellular labile iron, exacerbating lipid peroxidation and overcoming the defense system.

Prostate cancer, the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality in men, exhibits distinct metabolic reprogramming involving zinc and citrate metabolism. This study investigated whether targeting this unique metabolic profile could offer an effective therapeutic approach. A series of novel oxindole derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their inhibitory effects on transcription factors (TFs) and antiproliferative activity across various cancer cell lines.

Electronic address:

Glycosidic switch liposome (GSL) technology efficiently encapsulates and stabilizes potent anticancer drugs in liposomes using a reversible glucuronide ester. Enzymatic hydrolysis of the glucuronide switch in target cell lysosomes produces parental drug. Our study examined the potential of a bispecific macromolecule, a polyethylene glycol (PEG) engager (mPEG×EphA2), generated by fusing a humanized anti-methoxy PEG (mPEG) Fab with an anti-EphA2 single-chain antibody, to increase GSL uptake into cancer cells and boost the anticancer activity by targeting PEG on GSL and an internalizing tumor antigen.

Astragalin (AST), a natural flavonoid, exhibits anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and antioxidant properties. However, its effects and molecular mechanisms in inflammatory pain remain unclear. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the impact of AST on a Complete Freund's Adjuvant (CFA)-induced inflammatory pain mouse model and to elucidate its potential mechanisms.

The Significance of Mono- and Dual-Effective Agents in the Development of New Antifungal Strategies.

Chem Biol Drug Des

January 2025

Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Faculty of Pharmacy, Erzincan Binali Yildirim University, Erzincan, Turkiye.

Invasive fungal infections (IFIs) pose significant challenges in clinical settings, particularly due to their high morbidity and mortality rates. The rising incidence of these infections, coupled with increasing antifungal resistance, underscores the urgent need for novel therapeutic strategies. Current antifungal drugs target the fungal cell membrane, cell wall, or intracellular components, but resistance mechanisms such as altered drug-target interactions, enhanced efflux, and adaptive cellular responses have diminished their efficacy.
