PA radiographs of hands and wrists from a randomized 6 month study of auranofin (AF) vs placebo followed by 6 months of open AF were scored for progression of erosive disease by 2 independent readers. The readers were blinded both to treatment and sequence (month 0 vs month 12) of the films. The results of our study demonstrate a reduction in the advancement of erosive disease during AF therapy compared to placebo.

Aim: The aim of the current study was to explore nano-formulation for effective neuroprotection by auranofin.
Background: Currently, the treatment options for various CNS disorders, particularly neurodegenerative disorders, are greatly constrained. A significant obstacle in this pursuit is the blood-brain barrier, a shielding covering that hinders the route of numerous biochemical treatments into the brain.

Background: The anticancer activity and radiosensitizing effect of Auranofin, an an-tirheumatic and an approved gold metallic drug, have been investigated from multiple perspectives. In this study, the action of the new gold complex compound TPN-Au(I)-MM4 was compared with that of auranofin.
Methods: The inhibitory effect of 10 μM and 50 μM concentrations on cell proliferation was investigated using the human colon cancer cell lines HCT116 and SW480.

It has been demonstrated that diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is especially sensitive to ferroptosis. Currently, confirming the presence of ferroptosis requires flow cytometry, which is a time consuming and labor-intensive task. Blistering of the cell membrane has been shown to be a ferroptosis-specific morphological change.

Aims: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an important zoonotic pathogen with multidrug-resistant phenotypes increasingly prevalent in both human and veterinary clinics. This study evaluated the potential of auranofin (AF) as an antibiotic adjuvant to enhance the anti-MRSA activity of florfenicol (FFC) and established a pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) model to compare the efficacy of FFC alone or in combination with AF against MRSA.
Methods And Results: We observed an increased susceptibility and significant synergistic effects of MRSA to FFC in the presence of AF.

Cancer and infection diseases pose severe threats to public health worldwide stressing the need for more effective and efficient treatments. Thus, the search for broad-spectrum activity drugs seems justifiable and urgent. Herein, we investigate the anticancer and antitrypanosomatid (anti-Trypanosoma cruzi) activities of eight monoanionic metal bis(dithiolene) complexes, [PhP][M(R-thiazdt)] with M = Au, Pt, Pd, Ni, containing N-alkyl-1,3-thiazoline-2-thione dithiolene ligands (R-thiazdt) with different alkyl groups (R = Et, tBu).
