For the first time, a synthetic route for preparing lupane and oleanane derivatives with a hydrogenated furan ring as a cycle A of triterpene scaffold is described. Most of the synthesized compounds, furanoterpenoids and their synthetic intermediates, were non-toxic against the tested cancer and non-cancerous cell lines, and evinced significant inhibitory activity with IC 1.0-9.0 μM in the tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 1 (Tdp1) inhibition test. Lupane derivatives - 1-oxime 7, 1,10-seco-hydroxynitrile 11 and furanoterpenoid 14 - were selected as those expected to be the most promising compounds. The results of molecular modeling evinced the strongest binding of compound 11 to the active site of Tdp1 compared to the reference drug. Simultaneously, only compound 11 at subtoxic concentration (10 μM) produced a synergetic effect on the topotecan activity against HeLa-V cells.

Tyrosyl DNA phosphodiesterases 1 and 2 (TDP1 and TDP2), which are enzymes involved in the repair of DNA, are regarded as promising targets for the development of new anticancer drugs. In this study, a series of imidazolidine-2,4-diones, 2,4,5-triones, and 2-thioxoimidazolidine-4,5-diones based on dehydroabietylamine (DHAAm) were synthesized. The inhibitory activity of the new compounds against TDP1 and TDP2, as well as their cytotoxic characteristics, were evaluated.

Tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 1 (TDP1) is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in repairing DNA lesions caused by the entrapment of DNA topoisomerase IB (TOP1)-DNA break-associated crosslinks. TDP1 inhibitors exhibit synergistic effects with TOP1 inhibitors in cancer cells, effectively overcoming resistance to TOP1 inhibitors. Therefore, this approach presents a promising strategy for reversing tumor resistance to TOP1 inhibitors.

Target deconvolution is essential for elucidating the molecular mechanisms, therapeutic efficacy, and off-target toxicity of small-molecule drugs. Thermal proteome profiling (TPP) is a robust and popular method for identifying drug-protein interactions. Nevertheless, classical implementation of TPP using isobaric labeling of peptides is tedious, time-consuming, and costly.

Nitrogen-associated protein 50 (NAP50) is an abundant plastid protein with an unknown function identified in (Dinophyceae). No progress has been made in discovering the function of NAP50 since its first characterization in 2009. The present study is a continuation of work on the predicted function of NAP50.

Article Synopsis
- - Cationic antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) show potential as both antimicrobial and anticancer agents, and linking them to bioactive molecules may enhance their effectiveness in treating cancer.
- - In this study, two derivatives of usnic acid were combined with the AMP L-K6 using a new bonding method while both components demonstrated selective activity against cancer cells, specifically targeting the DNA repair enzyme TDP1.
- - The resulting conjugates showed a range of effects, from decreased activity of the original drugs to increased cytotoxicity against glioblastoma cells, suggesting enhanced therapeutic potential compared to the individual components.
