It has been established using hemopoietic bone marrow cells or EHrlich ascites carcinoma cells that endogenous glutathione affects the realization of only those lesions which appear in response to an increase in radioresistance, for example during anoxia. The involvement of glutathione in the realization of the oxygen effect is not limited to the time of irradiation. The effect of glutathione extends to the postirradiation period i. e., it is not determined only by the competition with oxygen for target radicals.

Cuproptosis shows great prospects in cancer treatments. However, insufficient intracellular copper amount, low-level redox homeostasis, and hypoxic tumor microenvironment severely restrict cuproptosis efficacy. Herein, hydrazided hyaluronan-templated decorated CuO-doxorubicin (CuDT) nanodot clusters (NCs) are developed for efficient doxorubicin (DOX)-sensitized cuproptosis therapy in breast cancer via a three-pronged strategy.

It is highly required to rationally design fluorescent probes a molecular engineering strategy with desired analytical performance for applications in sensing and imaging. Reaction-based fluorescent probes for highly selective sensing of cysteine (Cys) are mainly based on the participation of Cys in reactions such as, addition-cyclization with acrylates, cyclization with aldehydes, coordination displacement, Michael addition reactions, and cleavage reactions. Cys-triggered reactions with the O atoms of ether bonds has also been used to construct reaction-based fluorescent probes based on the substitution of the ether with the nucleophilic thiolate of Cys.

PdRu bimetallic nanoalloys with improved photothermal effect for amplified ROS-mediated tumor therapy.

Department of Experimental Research and Guangxi Cancer Molecular Medicine Engineering Research Center and Guangxi Key Laboratory of Basic and Translational Research for Colorectal Cancer, Guangxi Medical University Cancer Hospital, Nanning, China.

An emerging strategy in cancer therapy involves inducing reactive oxygen species (ROS), specifically within tumors using nanozymes. However, existing nanozymes suffer from limitations such as low reactivity, poor biocompatibility, and limited targeting capabilities, hindering their therapeutic efficacy. In response, the PdRu@PEI bimetallic nanoalloys were constructed with well-catalytic activities and effective separation of charges, which can catalyze hydrogen peroxide (HO) to toxic hydroxyl radical (·OH) under near-infrared laser stimulation.

Oral iron sulfide prevents acute alcohol intoxication by initiating the endogenous multienzymatic antioxidant defense system.

Acute alcohol intoxication could cause multiorgan damage, including nervous, digestive, and cardiovascular systems, and in particular, irreversible damage to the brain and liver. Emerging studies have revealed that the endogenous multienzymatic antioxidant defense system (MEAODS) plays a central role in preventing oxidative stress and other toxicological compounds produced by alcohol. However, few available drugs could quickly regulate MEAODS.

As a recently discovered form of regulated cell death, ferroptosis has attracted much attention in the field cancer therapy. However, achieving considerably enhanced efficacy is often restricted by the overexpression of endogenous glutathione (GSH) in tumor microenvironment (TME). In this work, we report a ferroptosis-inducing strategy of GSH depletion and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation based on a biodegradable copper-doped calcium phosphate (CaP) with L-buthionine sulfoximine (BSO) loading (denoted as BSO@CuCaP-LOD, BCCL).
