In this work, a series of multitargeting histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors capable of regulating the signal transduction between RAS protein and downstream effectors were obtained by introducing a zinc-ion-binding group into the framework of rigosertib via different linkers. Among them, two representative compounds, and , not only showed stronger antiproliferative activity against many types of cancer cells including solid tumor cells but also presented more potent inhibition on different subtypes of HDAC than suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA). Significantly, presented moderate pharmacokinetic behaviors and showed stronger antitumor activity than oxaliplatin, SAHA, and rigosertib in the HT-29 xenograft mouse models without significant systemic toxicity. Research on the anticancer mechanism of revealed that it can effectively induce the apoptosis of cancer cells and suppress the tumor by strongly inhibiting the RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK signaling pathway and the acetylation level of HDAC3.

Due to the lack of effective therapeutic approach, glioblastoma (GBM) remains one of the most malignant brain tumour. By in vitro investigations on primary GBM stem cells, we highlighted one of the underlying mechanisms of drug resistance to alkylating agents, the DNA damage responses. Here, flow cytometric analysis and viability and repopulation assays were used to assess the long-term cytotoxic effect induced by the administration of a fourth-generation platinum prodrug, the (OC-6-44)-acetatodiamminedichlorido(2-(2-propynyl)octanoato) platinum(IV) named Pt(IV)Ac-POA, in comparison to the most widely used Cisplatin.

Background: Skin is exposed to various environmental factors throughout life, and some of these factors are known to contribute to skin aging. Long-term solar UV exposure is a well-known cause of skin aging, as is cigarette smoke, which contains a number of chemicals. In this study, combined effect of UVA and cigarette sidestream smoke (CSS) on matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) induction was investigated.

In preclinical studies, bioactive phytochemicals have shown enormous potential therapeutic efficacy against various human malignancies. These natural compounds have been shown to possess an inherent potential to alter the molecular signaling pathways and epigenetic modulatory activity involved in multiple physiological functions. Recently, epigenetic therapy has emerged as an important therapeutic modality due to the reversible nature of epigenetic alterations.

Introduction: Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) have shown promising preclinical activity in gastric cancer cells; unfortunately, however, these could not be confirmed in clinical trials. This highlights the need for the identification of underlying reasons, which may also provide the basis for possible combination therapies. Here, we delineated the effects of HDACi on components of EGFR signalling in gastric cancer cells.
