AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the anticancer effects of newly created pyrazolo[4,3-]tetrazolo[1,5-][1,2,4]triazine sulfonamides on various human cancer cell lines, including HeLa, HCT 116, PC-3, and BxPC-3.
- Researchers found that these sulfonamides can induce apoptosis through changes in cell morphology and mitochondrial function, as well as cause cell cycle arrest.
- The compounds showed strong pro-oxidative properties and potential anticancer activity linked to their ability to inhibit CDK enzyme activities, particularly demonstrating effectiveness against HeLa and HCT 116 cells.
Article Abstract
The current study continues the evaluation of the anticancer potential of three de novo synthesized pyrazolo[4,3-]tetrazolo[1,5-][1,2,4]triazine sulfonamides-, , and -against human cancer cells of HeLa, HCT 116, PC-3, and BxPC-3 lines. The pro-apoptotic activity of the investigated sulfonamides was shown by observations of changes in the mitochondrial transmembrane potential of the tested cells, externalization of phosphatidylserine on the cellular membrane surface, and cell morphology in microscopic imaging. The computational studies have shown that exhibited the lowest binding energy values when docked against CDK enzymes. In addition, the highest stability was shown for complexes formed between MM129 and CDK5/8 enzymes. All examined compounds induced cell cycle arrest in the G0/G1 phase in the BxPC-3 and PC-3 cells and simultaneously caused the accumulation of cells in the S phase in the HCT 116 cells. In addition, the increase in the subG1 fraction was observed in PC-3 and HeLa cells. The application of a fluorescent HDCFDA probe revealed the high pro-oxidative properties of the tested triazine derivatives, especially . In conclusion, the obtained results suggest that , , and exhibited strong pro-apoptotic properties towards investigated cells, mainly against the HeLa and HCT 116 cell lines, and high pro-oxidative potential as well. Moreover, it is suggested that the anticancer activity of the tested compounds may be associated with their ability to inhibit CDK enzymes activities.

Despite advancements in cancer treatments, therapies frequently exhibit high cytotoxicity, and surgery remains the predominant method for treating most solid tumors, often with limited success in preventing post-surgical recurrence. Implantable biomaterials, designed to release drugs at a localised site in response to specific stimuli, represent a promising approach for enhancing tumour therapy. In this study, a redox-responsive glutathione extended polyurethane urea (PolyCEGS) was used to produce paclitaxel (PTX) and gold nanorods (AuNRs) loaded electrospun membranes for combined redox/near-infrared (NIR) light-responsive release chemotherapy and hyperthermic effect.

Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide and the second most common cause of cancer-related death in both men and women. Although a number of treatments are available to combat this malignancy, the antimetabolite 5-fluorouracil has been the cornerstone of therapy since its synthesis in the 1950s. Unfortunately, the prolonged use of 5-fluorouracil can lead to chemoresistance, which has prompted research into combination regimens to improve efficacy and quality of life and reduce resistance.

Herein, we have used a simple synthetic strategy to access a novel non-sulfur fluorescent molecular probe coumarin and 1,8-napthyridine conjugated probe DNCS. The developed probe has great selectivity and sensitivity for detecting Hg ions. Our photophysical properties evaluation for the synthesized probe with different metal ions (Ba, Al, Ca, Bi, Ce, Cd, Cu, Sr, Co, Fe, Cr, Fe, Mn, Hg, Zn, Pb, Ni, and Sn) unveiled the very selective and sensitive fluorescence sensing behavior with Hg ions in the energy window of near UV and visible light radiation in an organic aqueous solvent mixture (EtOH and water).

Background: Individuals with sickle cell disease (SCD) have a unique type of dyslipidemia characterized by low total cholesterol (TC), low low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c), and normal triglycerides (TG). This lipid state is theorized to be cardioprotective against atherosclerosis. In SCD, hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) offers a potentially curative therapy.

Colon cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers and is recognized as the most aggressive tumor of the digestive system. Aberrant activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is associated with proliferation, metastasis and immunosuppression of the tumor cells. Here, to inhibit the STAT3 pathway and suppress metastasis in colon cancer cells, the half-sandwich iridium complex Ir-ART containing an artesunate-derived ligand was synthesized.
