Polyhydroxylated Sirostanol Saponins from the Rhizomes of Paris dulongensis.

Three new polyhydroxylated spirostanol steroidal saponins, dulongenosides B-D (2-4), along with 14 known compounds, dulongenoside A (1), padelaoside B (5), parisyunnanoside G (6), polyphyllin D (7), ophiopogonin C' (8), formosanin C (9), dioscin (10), paris saponin VII (11), paris H (12), parisyunnanoside I (13), protodioscin (14), proprotogracillin (15), crustecdysone (16), and stigmasterol-3-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (17), were isolated from the rhizomes of Paris dulongensis (Melanthiaceae). Their chemical structures were elucidated based on extensive analyses of NMR and MS data and acidic hydrolyses. The isolates were evaluated for their cytotoxicity to five human cancer cell lines (HL-60, SW480, MDA-MB-231, A549, and A549/Taxol) and the normal human bronchial epithelial cell line BEAS-2B by the MTS test. Compounds 7-12 and 14 showed cytotoxic activity, with IC50 values ranging from 0.20 to 4.35 μM. Proprogracillin selectively inhibited A549(IC50 = 0.58 μM) and A549/Taxol (IC50 = 0.74 μM) cells, with no significant cytotoxic activity against HL-60, SW480, MDA-MB-231, or BEAS-2B cells, with IC50 values greater than 40 μM.

Immunological nanomaterials to combat cancer metastasis.

Metastasis causes greater than 90% of cancer-associated deaths, presenting huge challenges for detection and efficient treatment of cancer due to its high heterogeneity and widespread dissemination to various organs. Therefore, it is imperative to combat cancer metastasis, which is the key to achieving complete cancer eradication. Immunotherapy as a systemic approach has shown promising potential to combat metastasis. However, current clinical immunotherapies are not effective for all patients or all types of cancer metastases owing to insufficient immune responses. In recent years, immunological nanomaterials with intrinsic immunogenicity or immunomodulatory agents with efficient loading have been shown to enhance immune responses to eliminate metastasis. In this review, we would like to summarize various types of immunological nanomaterials against metastasis. Moreover, this review will summarize a series of immunological nanomaterial-mediated immunotherapy strategies to combat metastasis, including immunogenic cell death, regulation of chemokines and cytokines, improving the immunosuppressive tumour microenvironment, activation of the STING pathway, enhancing cytotoxic natural killer cell activity, enhancing antigen presentation of dendritic cells, and enhancing chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy. Furthermore, the synergistic anti-metastasis strategies based on the combinational use of immunotherapy and other therapeutic modalities will also be introduced. In addition, the nanomaterial-mediated imaging techniques (e.g., optical imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, photoacoustic imaging, surface-enhanced Raman scattering, radionuclide imaging, etc.) for detecting metastasis and monitoring anti-metastasis efficacy are also summarized. Finally, the current challenges and future prospects of immunological nanomaterial-based anti-metastasis are also elucidated with the intention to accelerate its clinical translation.

Bioguided Fractionation of Phyllanthus spp.: Unveiling Anticancer Potential through Metabolomic Correlation and ADMETox Insights.

Cancer remains a significant global health concern, with mortality rates steadily rising and prompting an urgent search for effective treatments. This study focuses on the medicinal properties of plants from the Phyllanthus genus, specifically Phyllanthus amarus and Phyllanthus niruri, which have shown promise in traditional medicine. Through bioguided fractionation using preparative high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), bioactive compounds were isolated and identified using ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled to time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC-QTOF-MSE) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Chemometric analyses such as principal component analysis (PCA) aided in understanding metabolite distribution. Biological assays demonstrated cytotoxic activities of specific fractions against cancer cell lines, notably the PhyN 4n fraction from P. niruri, which induced S-phase cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in HL60 cells. These findings underscore the anticancer potential of Phyllanthus species and lay the groundwork for future drug development efforts. The study's integration of advanced analytical techniques, chemometrics, and biological assays provides valuable insights for harnessing natural products in the fight against cancer.

Search for new biologically active compounds: in vitro studies of antitumor and antimicrobial activity of dirhodium(II,II) paddlewheel complexes.

Four neutral Rh1-Rh4 complexes of the general formula [Rh2(CH3COO)4L2], where L is an N-alkylimidazole ligand, were synthesized and characterized using various spectroscopic techniques, and in the case of Rh4 the crystal structure was confirmed. Investigation of the interactions of these complexes with HSA by fluorescence spectroscopy revealed that the binding constants Kb are moderately strong (∼104 M-1), and site-marker competition experiments showed that the complexes bind to Heme site III (subdomain IB). Competitive binding studies for CT DNA using EB and HOE showed that the complexes bind to the minor groove, which was also confirmed by viscosity experiments. Molecular docking confirmed the experimental data for HSA and CT DNA. Antimicrobial tests showed that the Rh2-Rh4 complexes exerted a strong inhibitory effect on G+ bacteria B. cereus and G- bacteria V. parahaemolyticus as well as on the yeast C. tropicalis, which showed a higher sensitivity compared to fluconazole. The cytotoxic activity of Rh1-Rh4 complexes tested on three cancer cell lines (HeLa, HCT116 and MDA-MB-231) and on healthy MRC-5 cells showed that all investigated complexes elicited more efficient cytotoxicity on all tested tumor cells than on control cells. Investigation of the mechanism of action revealed that the Rh1-Rh4 complexes inhibit cell proliferation via different mechanisms of action, namely apoptosis (increase in expression of the pro-apoptotic Bax protein and caspase-3 protein in HeLa and HCT116 cells; changes in mitochondrial potential and mitochondrial damage; release of cytochrome c from the mitochondria; cell cycle arrest in G2/M phase in both HeLa and HCT116 cells together with a decrease in the expression of cyclin A and cyclin B) and autophagy (reduction in the expression of the protein p62 in HeLa and HCT116 cells).

Quinomycins with an unusual N-methyl-3-methylsulfinyl-alanine residue from a Streptomyces sp.

Four new echinomycin congeners, quinomycins M-P (1-4) were isolated from the cultures of the soil-derived Streptomyces sp. CPCC205575. The planar structures were determined by comprehensive analyses of NMR and HRESIMS/MS data. The absolute configurations were elucidated by the advanced Marfey's method combined with biosynthetic gene analysis. Compounds 1-4 represent the first examples of quinomycin-type natural products with the sulfur atom at the N,S-dimethylcysteine residue oxidized as a sulfoxide group forming the unusual N-methyl-3-methylsulfinyl-alanine residue. Bioassay results revealed that the oxidation of the sulfur atom at the Cys or Cys' residues led to dramatic decrease of cytotoxicity and antimicrobial activity.

Primary Protection of Diosmin Against Doxorubicin Cardiotoxicity via Inhibiting Oxido-Inflammatory Stress and Apoptosis in Rats.

Doxorubicin (DOX) is the cornerstone of chemotherapy. However, it has dose-dependent cardiotoxic events that limit its clinical use. This study was intended to investigate the efficiency of DOX as an anti-cancer against the MCF-7 cell line in the presence of diosmin (DIO) and to appraise the protective impact of DIO against DOX cardiotoxicity in vivo. In vitro study was carried out to establish the conservation of DOX cytotoxicity in the presence of DIO. In vivo study was conducted on 42 adult female Wistar rats that were equally allocated into 6 groups; control, DIO (100 mg/kg), DIO (200 mg/kg), DOX (20 mg/kg, single dose i.p.), DIO (100 mg/kg) + DOX, received DIO orally (100 mg/kg) for 30 days, then administrated with a single dose of DOX and DIO (200 mg/kg) + DOX, received DIO orally (200 mg/kg) for 30 days, then administrated with DOX. In vitro study showed preservation of cytotoxic activity of DOX on MCF-7 in the presence of DIO. In vivo study indicated that DOX altered electrocardiograph (ECG) parameters. Also, it yielded a significant rise in CK-MB, cTnT and LDH serum levels and cardiac contents of MDA, IL-1β; paralleled by a significant drop in cardiac IL-10 and SOD. Moreover, significant upregulation of Bax, TNF-α, and HIF-1α, in concomitant with significant downregulation of Bcl-2 mRNA in cardiac tissue have been recorded in the DOX group. Furthermore, histopathological description of cardiac tissues showed that DOX alters normal cardiac histoarchitecture. On the opposite side, DIO pretreatment could ameliorate ECG parameters, suppress IL-1β and enhanceIL-10, promote activity of SOD and repress MDA. Additionally, downregulation of Bax, TNF-α, HIF-1α and upregulation of Bcl-2 have been demonstrated in DIO-pretreated rats. Furthermore, the histopathological examination of cardiac tissues illustrated that DIO had a favorable impact on the protection of heart histoarchitecture. DIO is suggested for protection against acute cardiotoxicity caused by DOX without affecting antitumor activity.

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study on immune improvement effects of ethanolic extract of Echinacea purpurea (L.) Moench in Korean adults.

Echinacea purpurea (L.) Moench (EP), a medicinal plant native to North America, is now cultivated in various regions including Europe. With increasing popularity of Echinacea in Korea recently, a human clinical trial was conducted to evaluate immune-enhancing efficacy and safety of EP 60% ethanolic extract (EPE) in Koreans. Eighty volunteers were recruited for this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. They were randomly divided into two groups and given either a daily dose of 200 mg of EPE or a placebo. All participants underwent testing for Natural Killer (NK) cell cytotoxic activity, serum cytokine levels (IL-2, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12, IFN-γ, TNF-α), Wisconsin Upper Respiratory Symptom Survey-21 (WURSS-21), and Multidimensional Fatigue Scale (MFS) during this study to assess changes in outcomes. After 8 weeks of EPE consumption, a significant increase in NK cell cytotoxic activity compared to the placebo was observed. Additionally, serum cytokine levels of IL-2, IFN-γ, and TNF-α also significantly increased following EPE consumption. However, no significant changes were observed in WURSS-21 and MFS before and after EPE consumption. Throughout the 8-week study period, no adverse reactions were reported in relation to EPE consumption, and there were no clinically significant changes in diagnostic laboratory tests or vital signs in the EPE group. These results indicate that consumption of EPE could lead to immune improvement without any adverse effects. This clinical trial was the first to demonstrate beneficial effects of EPE consumption on immunity in Korean adults.

New Carbothioamide and Carboxamide Derivatives of 3-Phenoxybenzoic Acid as Potent VEGFR-2 Inhibitors: Synthesis, Molecular Docking, and Cytotoxicity Assessment.

Because of the well-established link between angiogenesis and tumor development, the use of antiangiogenic therapeutics, such as those targeting VEGFR-2, presents a promising approach to cancer treatment. In the current study, a set of five hydrazine-1-- carbothioamide (compounds 3a-e) and three hydrazine-1-carboxamide derivatives (compounds 4a-c) were successfully synthesized from 3-phenoxybenzoic acid. These compounds were specially created as antiproliferative agents with the goal of targeting cancer cells by inhibiting VEGFR-2 tyrosine kinase. The new derivatives were synthesized by conventional organic methods, and their structure was versified by IR, 1HNMR, 13CNMR, and mass spectroscopy. In silico investigation was carried out to identify the compounds' target, molecular similarity, ADMET, and toxicity profile. The cytotoxic activity of the prepared compounds was evaluated in vitro against three human cancer cell lines (DLD1 colorectal adenocarcinoma, HeLa cervical cancer, and HepG2 hepatocellular carcinoma). The effects of the leading compound on cell cycle progression and apoptosis induction were investigated by flow cytometry, and the specific apoptotic pathway triggered by the treatment was evaluated by RT-PCR and immunoblotting. Finally, the inhibitory activities of the new compounds against VEGFR-2 was measured. The designed derivatives exhibited comparable binding positions and interactions to the VEGFR-2 binding site to that of sorafenib (a standard VEGFR-2 tyrosine kinase inhibitor), as determined by molecular docking analysis. Compound 4b was the most cytotoxic compound, achieving the lowest IC50 against HeLa cells. Compound 4b, a strong representative of the synthesized series, induced cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase, increased the proportion of necrotic and apoptotic HeLa cells, and activated caspase 3. The EC50 value of compound 4b against VEGFR-2 kinase activity was comparable to sorafenib's. Overall, the findings suggest that compound 4b has a promising future as a starting point for the development of new anticancer drugs.

Breast Cancer Prevention by Dietary Polyphenols: Microemulsion Formulation and In Vitro Studies

Concerns surrounding breast cancer have been increasing, as it leads to the current global cancer incidence and causes a high mortality rate in women. This study investigated the physiological effects of common dietary polyphenols that might prevent breast cancer progression. Quercetin, kaempferol, and rosmarinic acid were selected to explore their potential bioactivities. Each polyphenol was formulated into a microemulsion to improve its bioactivity and bioavailability. In vitro antioxidant and cytotoxicity activities of the selected polyphenols and their microemulsion forms were further investigated. The optimized microemulsion carrier with 1% oleic acid, 3% ethanol, 10% polysorbate 20, and 86% ultrapure water achieved more than 90% polyphenol encapsulation efficiency. The microemulsion was stable for more than 30 days when encapsulating polyphenol in the fluctuating temperature treatment. In vitro studies suggested that rosmarinic acid-loaded microemulsion had the best antioxidant activity compared with other polyphenol-loaded microemulsions (PL-MEs). Blank microemulsion and all PL-MEs significantly inhibited the proliferation of both hormone-dependent (T47D) and hormone-independent (MDA-MB-231) breast cancer cells. More studies are warranted to confirm the contribution of the microemulsion carrier components to the polyphenols’ improved antioxidant activity and high toxicity of PL-MEs on breast cancer cells.

LL37 Microspheres Loaded on Activated Carbon-chitosan Hydrogel: Anti-bacterial and Anti-toxin Wound Dressing for Chronic Wound Infections.

Antimicrobial peptide LL37 is a promising antibacterial candidate due to its potent antimicrobial activity with no known bacterial resistance. However, intrinsically LL37 is susceptible to degradation in wound fluids limits its effectiveness. Bacterial toxins which are released after cell lysis are found to hinder wound healing. To address these challenges, encapsulating LL37 in microspheres (MS) and loading the MS onto activated carbon (AC)-chitosan (CS) hydrogel. This advanced wound dressing not only protects LL37 from degradation but also targets bacterial toxins, aiding in the healing of chronic wound infections. First, LL37 MS and LL37-AC-CS hydrogel were prepared and characterised in terms of physicochemical properties, drug release, and peptide-polymer compatibility. Antibacterial and antibiofilm activity, bacterial toxin elimination, cell migration, and cell cytotoxicity activities were investigated. LL37-AC-CS hydrogel was effective against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus. LL37-AC-CS hydrogel bound more endotoxin than AC with CS hydrogel alone. The hydrogel also induced cell migration after 72h and showed no cytotoxicity towards NHDF after 72h of treatment. In conclusion, the LL37-AC-CS hydrogel was shown to be a stable, non-toxic advanced wound dressing method with enhanced antimicrobial and antitoxin activity, and it can potentially be applied to chronic wound infections to accelerate wound healing.

Innovation, structural inspection for new mixed complexes: DNA binding, biomedical applications and molecular docking approaches

2-Guanidinobenzimidazole (BIG) and Imidiazole (I) ligands were utilized to synthesize Cu(II), VO(II), Ag(I), and Pd(II) as mixed ligand complexes. All studied molecules were characterized through various spectral, analytical and computational studies to find out their chemical structure. TGA was applied to identify the occurrence of H2O molecules besides the mono-nuclear property of isolated complexes. These complexes were proved through DFT study to confirm the coordinating site that was proposed and displays the optimal three-dimensional structures of the studied compounds. The binding affinity of the tested complexes with CT-DNA has been tested through agarose gel, electronic spectroscopy and viscosity measurements. Furthermore, the studied molecules might bind to CT-DNA electrostatically through exterior contact, replacement, intercalation and groove surface binding with good affinity. In-vitro anti-bacterial, anti-fungi, cytotoxic and antioxidant activities are performed for all studied compounds. MOE-docking simulation results indicate promising inhibitory features of BIGIPd complexes, in agreement with in-vitro results.

Peperomia pellucida is a widely distributed herb and commonly used in folk medicine for the treatment of various disorders. The present study reported the isolation, elucidation of compounds from the whole plant and their cytotoxic activities on Hep G2 (HB - 8065TM, hepatocellular carcinoma), A549 (CCL-185™, pulmonary adenocarcinoma), and MCF-7 (HTB - 22TM, breast cancer) cell lines. As a result, velutin exhibited the most significant cytotoxicity against Hep G2, A549, and MCF-7 cell lines with IC50 values of 34.00, 30.85, and 41.33 μg/mL, respectively.

Chemical and Bioactive Properties of Red Rice with Potential Pharmaceutical Use

Red rice has been proposed as a super-food. Accordingly, the nutritional properties (AOAC), as well as its chemical composition, including sugars (HPLC-RI), organic acids (UFLC-PDA), tocopherols (HPLD-FD), and phenolic compounds (LC-DAD-ESI/MSn), together with the main bioactive properties (antioxidant, cytotoxic, antiproliferative, and antibacterial activities), were evaluated to access its nutritional benefits and health improvement potential. The most abundant macronutrients found were carbohydrates (87.2 g/100 g dw), proceeded by proteins (9.1 g/100 g dw), fat (2.6 g/100 g dw), and ash (1.1 g/100 g dw). Sucrose and raffinose were the only detected sugars, with sucrose presenting the maximum concentration (0.74 g/100 g dw). MUFAs and PUFAs were the predominant fatty acids (40.7% and 31%, respectively). Among the two detected tocopherol isoforms, γ-tocopherol (0.67 mg/100 g dw) predominated over α-tocopherol. The phenolic compounds profile, majorly composed of flavan-3-ols, should be associated with the detected bioactivities, which may provide biological benefits to human health beyond the primary nutritional effect. Overall, the bioactive potential of red rice was comprehensively accessed.

Evaluation of the cytotoxic activities of the essential oil from Pistacia atlantica Desf. oleoresin on human gastric cancer cell lines.

Numerous herbal products have been the subject of research regarding their potential role in cancer prevention or adjuvant therapy. Pistacia atlantica and its main phytochemicals have garnered significant attention for their potential anti-cancer effects. The study aimed to assess the growth inhibitory effects of P. atlantica essential oil (PAEO) on MKN-45 and AGS cells. This study quantified the volatile compounds in PAEO using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). Subsequently, MKN-45 and AGS cells were treated with varying concentrations of PAEO (5%, 2.5%, 1.25%, 0.625%, 0.3125%, 0.156%, 0.0781%, 0.0391%, 0.0195%) for 24h. Cell viability was evaluated through the MTT assay. The impact of PAEO on gene expression was investigated by quantifying the mRNA levels of Bax and Bcl2 in the various experimental groups using quantitative Real-Time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis. Additionally, flow cytometry was utilized to evaluate apoptosis in the treated cells. The analysis of PAEO revealed that α-pinene was the predominant monoterpene, constituting 87.9% of the oil composition. The cytotoxic effects of PAEO were evaluated, and it was found that the oil significantly reduced the viability of MKN-45 and AGS cells. The IC50 for MKN-45 cells was determined to be 1.94 × 10-3% after 24h of treatment, while for AGS cells the IC50 was 2.8 × 10-3% after 24h. Additionally, the research revealed that PAEO triggered a notable rise in apoptotic cells in both AGS and MKN-45 cell lines. Moreover, at the molecular level, the findings indicated an increase in Bax expression and a decrease in Bcl2 mRNA expression, providing further evidence of the induction of apoptosis in both MKN-45 and AGS cell lines following PAEO treatment. The findings of this study offer evidence supporting the cytotoxic effects of PAEO on gastric cancer cell lines by promoting apoptosis. The findings suggest that PAEO may offer potential as a therapeutic candidate in managing and treating gastric cancer.

Discovery of new eremophilanes from the marine-derived fungus Emericellopsis maritima BC17 by culture conditions changes: evaluation of cytotoxic and antimicrobial activities

In our previous studies, the marine-derived fungus Emericellopsis maritima BC17 was found to produce new eremophilane-type sesquiterpenoids on solid media. In order to explore its potential to produce more metabolites, E. maritima BC17 was subjected to a one strain-many compounds (OSMAC) analysis leading to the discovery of three new eremophilanes (1-3) and fourteen known derivatives (4-17) in the liquid media Czapek Dox and PDB. Their structures were established by extensive analyses of the 1D and 2D NMR, and HRESIMS data, as well as ECD data for the assignment of their absolute configurations. Antitumoral and antimicrobial activities of the isolated metabolites 1, 3, 11, and 15 were investigated. PR toxin 3-deacetyl (15) exhibited cytotoxic activity against HepG2, MCF-7, A549, A2058 and Mia PaCa-2 human cancer cell lines with IC50 values ranging from 2.5 to 14.7 µM. In addition, 15 exhibited selective activity against methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus ATCC29213 at the highest concentration tested of 128 µg/mL.

Cytotoxicity and Biological Activities of Geopopolis Extract from the Stingless bee (Melipona scutellaris) in Isolates of Staphylococcus aureus.

Geopropolis resins are produced by stingless bees (Meliponinae), developed from the collection of resinous materials, waxes and exudates, from the flora of the region where stingless bees are present, in addition to the addition of clay or earth in its composition. Several biological activities are attributed to Ethanol Extracts of Geopropolis (EEGP). The bioactive properties are associated with the complex chemical composition that the samples have. This work aims to evaluate the biological activities of the EEGP, in order to contribute with a natural therapeutic alternative, to face infections, mainly those caused by resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus. The EEGP MIC tests showed antibacterial activity against two strains of S. aureus, both at concentrations of 550 μg/mL. The MBC performed with the inhibition values showed that the EEGP has bacteriostatic activity in both strains. Biofilm inhibition rates exhibited an average value greater than 65 % at the highest concentration. The EEGP antioxidant potential test showed good antioxidant activity (IC50) of 11.05±1.55 μg/mL. In the cytotoxicity test against HaCat cells, after 24 hours, EEGP induced cell viability at the three tested concentrations (550 μg/mL: 81.68±3.79 %; 1100 μg/mL: 67.10±3.76 %; 2200 μg/mL: 67.40±1.86 %). In view of the above, the safe use of EEGP from the brazilian northeast could be proven by the cytotoxicity test, and its use as an antioxidant and antibacterial agent has proven to be effective, as an alternative in combating oxidative stress and microorganisms such as S. aureus, which, through the spread and ongoing evolution of drug resistance, generates an active search for effective solutions.

Breast Cancer Immune Landscape: Interplay Between Systemic and Local Immunity.

Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most common malignancies in women worldwide. Numerous studies in immuno-oncology and successful trials of immunotherapy have demonstrated the causal role of the immune system in cancer pathogenesis. The interaction between the tumor and the immune system is known to have a dual nature. Despite cytotoxic lymphocyte activity against transformed cells, a tumor can escape immune surveillance and leverage chronic inflammation to maintain its own development. Research on antitumor immunity primarily focuses on the role of the tumor microenvironment, whereas the systemic immune response beyond the tumor site is described less thoroughly. Here, a comprehensive review of the formation of the immune profile in breast cancer patients is offered. The interplay between systemic and local immune reactions as self-sustaining mechanism of tumor progression is described and the functional activity of the main cell populations related to innate and adaptive immunity is discussed. Additionally, the interaction between different functional levels of the immune system and their contribution to the development of the pro- or anti-tumor immune response in BC is highlighted. The presented data can potentially inform the development of new immunotherapy strategies in the treatment of patients with BC.
