Introduction: Cervical cancer is a global health problem due to its high incidence and prevalence in women, mainly in third-world countries. For the treatment of this disease, there are different therapeutic options, but these are not always effective, which gives rise to the search for new compounds using cheminformatics tools.
Objective: The objective of this study was to design, synthesize, and biologically evaluate N-(2- morpholinoethyl)-2-(naphthalen-2-yloxy)acetamide hydrochloride (1) and 2-(naphthalen-2-yloxy)- N-(2-(piperidin-1-yl)ethyl)acetamide hydrochloride (2) on the HeLa cell line . The referenced cell line from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCCCCL-2) was used, and the effect on cell viability was determined by MTT metabolic reduction-based assay at 24, 48, and 72 h.
Methods: Therapies directed at the σ1 receptor may be a treatment alternative since this receptor modulates the processes of cell proliferation and angiogenesis, producing cytoprotective or cytotoxic actions depending on the ligand with which it is coupled.
Results: The analysis showed that compounds 1 and 2 presented activity on HeLa cancer cells and viability at micromolar concentrations (1.923 μmol/mL and 0.374 μmol/mL, respectively). Moreover, the effect was maintained for 72 h.
Conclusion: Naphthaleneacetamide derivatives exhibited an inhibitory effect on the HeLa cell line, and the OSIRIS program predicted less toxicity than cisplatin.

Radioresistance remains a major obstacle in cervical cancer treatment, frequently engendering tumor relapse and metastasis. However, the details of its mechanism of action remain largely enigmatic. This study delineates the prospective impacts of short-form human T-cell lymphoma invasion and metastasis 2 (TIAM2S) involving the radiation resistance of cervical cancer.

P-bodies (PBs) and stress granules (SGs) are conserved, non-membranous cytoplasmic condensates of RNA-protein complexes. PBs are implicated in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression through mRNA decay, translational repression and/or storage. Although much is known about the de novo formation of PBs and SGs involving liquid-liquid phase separation through multiple protein-protein and protein-RNA interactions, their subcellular localization and turnover mechanisms are less understood.

Unlabelled: The application of photosensitizers for inhibition of oxidative phosphorylation in order to temporally decrease oxygen uptake by tumor cells in the course of photodynamic therapy (PDT) evokes growing interest. is to overcome tumor hypoxia for further photodynamic therapy with simultaneous use of type I photosensitizer methylene blue (MB) and type II photosensitizer chlorin e6.
Material And Methods: A photodynamic activity of MB and its combined use with chlorin e6 has been studied on the HeLa cell culture, their effect on cell metabolism in their co-accumulation and subsequent irradiation has also been assessed.

During mitosis, chromosomes condense and decondense to segregate faithfully and undamaged. The exact molecular mechanisms are not well understood. We identify the DEAD-box helicase eIF4A1/2 as a critical factor in this process.
