Sarcopenia, the age-related decline in muscle mass and function, is a significant contributor to increased frailty and mortality in the elderly. Currently, no FDA-approved treatment exists for sarcopenia. Here, we identified norharmane (NR), a β-carboline alkaloid, as a potential therapeutic agent for mitigating muscle aging.

Harmaline as a natural compound possessed a wide range of pharmacological activities. In this study, 22 novel harmaline-based derivatives were synthesized and screened for in vitro anti-proliferation activity against three cancer cell lines, HCT116, MCF7, and MGC803. The modification site was at the position N-9 of harmaline.

Inhibiting phosphofructokinase-1 (PFK1) is a promising approach for treating lactic acidosis and mitochondrial dysfunction by activating oxidative phosphorylation. Tryptolinamide (TLAM) has been shown as a PFK1 inhibitor, but its complex stereochemistry, with 16 possible isomers complicates further development. We conducted an asymmetric synthesis, determined the absolute configurations, and evaluated the PFK1 inhibitory activity of the TLAM isomers.

Chemotherapy resistance in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) leads to poor therapeutic effects and a poor prognosis. Given that paclitaxel-based chemotherapy is the main treatment method for TNBC, enhancing its chemosensitivity has been a research focus. Induced ferroptosis of tumour cells has been proven to increase chemosensitivity, but its ability to sensitize TNBC cells to paclitaxel (PTX) is unknown.

A serious challenge of the chronic administration of dexamethasone (DEX) is a delay in wound healing. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the potential of Tadalafil (TAD)-loaded proniosomal gel to accelerate the healing process of skin wounds in DEX-challenged rabbits. Skin wounds were induced in 48 rabbits of 4 groups (n = 12 per group) and skin wounds were treated by sterile saline (control), TAD-loaded proniosomal gel topically on skin wound, DEX-injected rabbits, and DEX+TAD-loaded proniosomal gel for 4 weeks.
