In attempt to find new anticancer drugs with high efficiency and low toxicity, twenty-four novel nootkatone-based acyl pyrazole derivatives were successfully synthesized using nootkatone as starting material. Structural confirmation of the target compounds was conducted using FT-IR, NMR, and HRMS techniques. The CCK-8 assay was used to evaluate in vitro antiproliferative activity of the target compounds against three cancer cell lines (HepG2, HeLa, SCC-9) and one normal cell line (MIHA). Results revealed that compounds 4j, 4m, 4t, 4u, and 4v exhibited notable antiproliferative activity against all three cancer cell lines. Particularly, compound 4t demonstrated excellent antiproliferative activity against all three cancer cell line (IC50 values of 18.19 μM, 1.53μM, and 13.33 μM, respectively), and minimal cytotoxicity toward normal MIHA cells (IC50 value of 58.47 µM), indicating that it had certain broad-spectrum antiproliferative activity and safety. Concurrently, a three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) study was carried out. Furthermore, to elucidate the potential action mechanism of compound 4t, network pharmacology and molecular docking techniques were employed to analyze its interaction patterns with the F2, HSD11B1, and SOD2. Compound 4t is worthy of further study as a lead compound with anticancer activity.
To explore new types of anticancer drugs, a series of novel nootkatone-derived pyrazole-amide compounds were synthesized by the multi-step reaction using natural product nootkatone as starting material. The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared, proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), carbon-13 NMR, and high-resolution mass spectrometry. In vitro antiproliferative activity of the target compounds against human hepatocellular carcinoma cells (SMMC-7721, Huh7, and HepG2) and human breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7) has been assessed by the Cell Counting Kit-8 method. It was found that compounds 4i, 4q, 4r, and 4t exhibited good antiproliferative activity against all the tested cancer cells, in which compound 4r had the best activity with half-maximal inhibitory concentration values of 26.19, 1.51, 10.63, and 10.43 µM against SMMC-7721, HepG2, Huh7, and MCF-7 cell lines, respectively. Meanwhile, the three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship model with predictive ability was established by the Comparative Molecular Field Analysis method to investigate the relationship between substituents on the target compounds and antiproliferative activity. Furthermore, the possible interaction mode of compound 4r with Survivin protein was probed by molecular docking, and found that compound 4r shared similar binding patterns with that of Survivin protein inhibitors YM155 and NSC80467. The work can bring new inspiration to the exploration of new types of anticancer drugs.
In an attempt to search for new natural product-based antitumor agents, a series of novel thiazolidinone derivatives of dehydroabietic acid-based B ring-fused-thiazole were designed and synthesized. The primary antitumor tests showed that compounds 5 m exhibited almost the best inhibitory activity against the tested cancer cells. The computational study suggested NOTCH1, IGF1R, TLR4, and KDR were the core targets of the title compounds, and the IC50 of SCC9 and Cal27 is strong correlation with the binding ability of TLR4 and compounds.

A series of novel menthone derivatives bearing pyrimidine and urea moieties was designed and synthesized to explore more potent natural product-derived antitumor agents. The structures of the target compounds were confirmed by FTIR, NMR, and HRMS. The in vitro antitumor activity was tested by standard methyl thiazolytetrazolium assay and showed that 4i, 4g, 4s, and 4m are the best compounds with IC50 values of 6.04 ± 0.62µM, 3.21 ± 0.67µM, 19.09 ± 0.49µM, and 18.68 ± 1.53µM, against Hela, MGC-803, MCF-7, and A549, respectively. The results of the preliminary action mechanism studies showed that compound 4i, the representative compound, could induce cell apoptosis in Hela cells in a dose-dependent manner and might arrest the cell cycle in the G2/M phase. Furthermore, the results of network pharmacology prediction and Western blot experiments indicated that compound 4i might inhibit Hela cells through inhibit PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. The binding modes and the binding sites interactions between compound 4i and the target proteins were predicted preliminarily by the molecular docking method.

With the continuous development of the social economy, cultural development has become particularly important, and the sports culture industry is an integral part of cultural evolution. In order to evaluate the timeliness of Guangxi-ASEAN national sports culture cooperation, the basic model for the national traditional sports culture industry competitiveness based on the dynamic algorithm (that is, the improved "Diamond model" theory algorithm) is established in this paper combined with the characteristics of the national traditional sports culture industry, and an evaluation indicator system is constructed for evaluating the competitiveness of the national traditional sports culture industry. Through the concentration processing of various data on the cooperation of 10 selected countries of ASEAN with Guangxi, four common factors are extracted. The sports cultures of Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore and Guangxi cooperation are relatively good, while those of Vietnam, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, Brunei and other countries are relatively weak.
Varacin C is a promising anticancer agent and possesses acid-promoted and photo-induced DNA-damaging activities. In this study, we synthesized an analog varacin-1 (VCA-1) and examined its anticancer potentials. The results demonstrated that VCA-1 caused dose-dependent apoptotic cell death in cancer cells. Note that this action is independent of p53 status, because VCA-1 induced similar levels of apoptosis in two different panels of cell lines (HCT116 p53- wild-type vs. HCT116 p53-knockout colon cancer cells, and p53-expressing U2OS vs. p53-deficient saos2 osteosarcoma cancer cells). VCA-1-induced apoptosis was found to be mainly via the extrinsic apoptosis pathway involving caspase-8 activation and XIAP reduction. Forced over-expression of XIAP markedly prevented apoptosis, indicating its essential role in VCA-1 induced apoptosis. On the other hand, VCA-1 treatment enhanced intracellular ROS (reactive oxygen species) generation also in a p53-independent manner, and consequently promoted caspase activation. Pretreatment of N-acetyl cysteine (an antioxidant), rather than z-VAD (specific caspase inhibitor), markedly prevented XIAP reduction, suggesting that XIAP reduction may be resulted from oxidative stress. In conclusion, data from this study reveal the essential roles of ROS generation and XIAP reduction in VCA-1-induced apoptosis in cancer cells. VCA-1 may be a novel cancer therapeutic agent, especially in p53-mutant human cancers.
