Published: March 2025

In recent years, nanobiotechnology, widely used in hepatoma, holds great promise for improving targeted hepatocarcinoma therapy. On account of the unique properties of low toxicity, good tolerance, biocompatibility, and biodegradability of new nanomaterials, a targeted drug delivery system (TDDS) has been constructed, which can boost the therapeutic effect of hepatoma-targeted drugs, reduce drug toxicity, and minimize off target reactions by enhancing permeability retention effect (EPR) and active targeting, thus improving existing liver cancer targeted therapy strategies. Different nanoparticles have their own advantages and disadvantages. They can be loaded with multiple drugs on the same nanoparticle and can also be surface modified with each other to achieve synergistic anti-tumor effects. This essay provides a comprehensive overview of the current status of targeted therapy for hepatocarcinoma, nanoparticles' structure, advantages and disadvantages of each nanoparticle, and the application progress of nanoparticles in targeted therapy for liver cancer. We hope to provide a basis for the future clinical targeted therapy of hepatoma using nanotechnology.

Privileged natural product compound classes for anti-inflammatory drug development.

Nat Prod Rep

March 2025

Department of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, National University of Singapore, 18 Science Drive 4, 117543, Singapore.

Covering: up to early 2025Privileged compound classes of anti-inflammatory natural products are those where there are many reported members that possess anti-inflammatory properties. The identification of these classes is of particular relevance to drug discovery, as they could serve as valuable starting points in developing effective and safe anti-inflammatory agents. The privileged compound classes of natural products include the polyphenols, coumarins, labdane diterpenoids, sesquiterpene lactones, isoquinoline and indole alkaloids, each offering a variety of molecular scaffolds and functional groups that enable diverse interactions with biological targets.

Advancing Tumor Microenvironment Analysis: A Fluorescence Nanosystem for Caspase-1 Monitoring and Synergistic Therapy.

Anal Chem

March 2025

College of Chemistry, Jilin Province Research Center for Engineering and Technology of Spectral Analytical Instruments, Jilin University, Qianjin Street 2699, Changchun 130012, China.

The lack of precise, real-time analytical tools for monitoring tumor microenvironment changes during treatment hinders advancements in integrated diagnostic and therapeutic platforms. Traditional caspase-3 monitoring strategies are limited by their inability to address drug resistance and newly discovered apoptotic pathways, leading to reduced accuracy and practicality. To overcome these limitations, we developed a fluorescence-based "Trojan horse" nanosystem, PFpR@CM, featuring high-sensitivity Caspase-1 detection, tumor-targeted delivery, and photothermal therapy.

Multifunctional Liposomes with Enhanced Stability for Imaging-Guided Cancer Chemodynamic and Photothermal Therapy.

ACS Biomater Sci Eng

Weifang Key Laboratory of Respiratory Tract Pathogens and Drug Therapy, School of Life Science and Technology, Shandong Second Medical University, Weifang 261000 P. R. China.

Improvements in tumor therapy require a combination of strategies where targeted treatment is critical. We developed a new versatile nanoplatform, MA@E, that generates high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) with effective photothermal conversions in the removal of tumors. Enhanced stability liposomes were employed as carriers to facilitate the uniform distribution and stable storage of encapsulated gold nanorods (AuNRs) and Mn-MIL-100 metal-organic frameworks, with efficient delivery of MA@E to the cytoplasm.

Comorbidities of hypothyroidism.

Curr Med Res Opin

March 2025

Merck Healthcare KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany.

Hypothyroidism is a relatively common condition that may affect as many as 10% of the population worldwide when its overt and subclinical presentations are considered. Important clinical comorbidities are highly prevalent in people with hypothyroidism and diminish quality of life and functional status in a manner that is proportional to the number of comorbidities present and their severity. This article reviews the common comorbidities of hypothyroidism, as reported in the literature.
