As the most prevalent disease globally and with a lack of efficient therapeutic drugs, there is a need for novel strategies to treat osteoarthritis (OA). One approach being explored is the usage of biodegradable polymers as drug-delivery systems for OA treatment. However, a limitation of these polymeric drug carriers is that they do not possess therapeutic efficacy themselves. To address this issue, a new strategy has been developed using an aspirin-like oligomer called poly (salicylic acid) (PSA). The oligomer is synthesized through the self-esterification of salicylic acid (SA), which is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) commonly used to relieve pain and inflammation associated with OA. Self-assembled PSA nanoparticles (PSA NPs) possess a distinctive capability to dynamically modulate the release rate of SA through the manipulation of their morphology. Crucially, SA, as the degradation product of the PSA NPs, has been substantiated to possess a demonstrated capability for capturing reactive oxygen species (ROS). In vitro studies have demonstrated the negligible toxicity of PSA NPs against SW1353 cells. Moreover, in vivo results have indicated that intra-articular injection of PSA NPs resulted in prolonged joint retention and significant alleviation of OA lesions in mice. Both in vitro and in vivo investigations have proved the capacity of PSA NPs to attenuate inflammation and restore the balance of cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM) metabolism through the inhibition of COX-2 and NF-κB p65 expressions. These compelling results suggest that the PSA NPs hold promising potential as an effective therapeutic strategy for OA.
Cholinesterase and monoamine oxidase are potential targets for the therapy of Alzheimer's disease. A series of novel AP2238-clorgiline hybrids as multi-target agents were designed, synthesized and investigated in vitro for their inhibition of cholinesterases and monoamine oxidases. Many compounds displayed balanced and good inhibitory activity against AChE, BuChE and MAO-B with an obvious selective inhibitory effect on MAO-B. Among them, Compound 5l showed the most balanced potency to inhibit ChEs (eeAChE: IC50 = 4.03 +/- 0.03 mu M, eqBuChE: IC50 = 5.64 +/- 0.53 mu M; hAChE: IC50 = 8.30 +/- 0.04 mu M, hBuChE: IC50 = 1.91 +/- 0.06 mu M) and hMAO-B (IC50 = 3.29 +/- 0.09 mu M). Molecular modeling and kinetic studies showed that 5l was a mixed inhibitor for both AChE and BuChE, and a competitive MAO-B inhibitor. Compound 5l exhibited no toxicity to PC12 and BV-2 cells at 12.5 mu M and no acute toxicity at a dosage of 2500 mg/kg. Moreover, 5l can improve the memory function of mice with scopolamine-induced memory impairment and have an excellent ability to cross the blood-brain barrier. Overall, these findings suggested that compound 5l could be deemed as a promising, balanced multi-target drug candidate against Alzheimer's disease.

Celastrol has been identified as a potential candidate for anticancer drug development. In this study, 28 novel celastrol derivatives with C‐6 sulfhydryl substitution and 20‐substitution were designed and synthesized, and their antiproliferative activity against human cancer cells and non‐malignant human cells was evaluated, with cisplatin and celastrol being used as controls. The results showed that most of the derivatives had enhanced in vitro anticancer activity compared to the parent compound celastrol. Specifically, derivative 2f demonstrated the most potent inhibitory potential and selectivity against HOS with an IC50 value of 0.82 μM. Our study provides new insights into the structure–activity relationship of celastrol and suggests that compound 2f may be a promising drug candidate for the treatment of osteosarcoma.
Though palbociclib, a cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6 (CDK4/6) inhibitor has been approved for treating breast cancer, two major clinical challenges remain: (i) Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) appears to be more resistant to palbociclib, and (ii) Palbociclib-induced senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) has a pro-tumorigenic function. Here we report that combining palbociclib with the STAT3 inhibitor nifuroxazide uncouples SASP production from senescence-associated cell cycle exit. Moreover, we identified nifuroxazide as a CDK2 inhibitor that synergistically promotes palbociclib-induced growth arrest and senescence in TNBC cells. In vitro, the combination of nifuroxazide with palbociclib further inhibited the TNBC cell proliferation and enhanced palbociclib-induced cell cycle arrest and senescence. The modulation of palbociclib-induced SASP by nifuroxazide was associated with the reduction of phosphorylated-STAT3. Nifuroxazide also blocks SASP-dependent cancer cell migration. Furthermore, thermal shift assay and molecular docking of nifuroxazide with STAT3 and CDK2 revealed that it binds to their active sites and acts as a potent dual inhibitor. In vivo, the combination of nifuroxazide with palbociclib suppressed 4T1 tumor growth and lung metastasis. Our data suggest that nifuroxazide enhances the anticancer effects of palbociclib in TNBC by uncoupling SASP production from senescence-associated cell cycle exit and inhibiting CDK2 to promote tumor senescence.

Herein, we present the facile design and construction of a nanodrug system integrating targeted drug delivery and synergistic chemo-photothermal antitumor activity. MoS2 nanosheets were synthesized and modified by ανβ3 integrin binding peptide (Arg-Gly-Asp, RGD) using lipoic acid functionalized polyethylene glycol (LA-PEG-COOH), forming a well dispersed and targeted delivery nanocarrier. Further, covalent coupling of antitumor drug, thiolated doxorubicin (DOX) via disulfide linkage resulted in a novel nanodrug, RGD/MoS2/DOX. The prepared nanocarrier showed favorable stability, biocompatibility and photothermal conversion efficiency. Fluorescence imaging revealed that Hela cells could endocytose far more nanodrug than H9c2 normal myocardial cells due to the targeted delivery characteristic. Particularly, GSH-induced disulfide bond cleavage facilitated the effective release of DOX from the nanodrug in the tumor microenvironment. The survival rate of Hela cells incubated with the nanodrug for 48 h was 22.2 ± 1.2%, which dramatically reduced to 8.9 ± 1.4% in combination with 808 nm NIR irradiation, demonstrating powerful photothermal induced tumor-killing efficacy. In contrast, the survival rates of H9c2 cells treated by the nanodrug and free DOX were 68.5 ± 2.6% and 6.7 ± 2.6%, respectively, an indication of the notably alleviated cardiotoxicity of the designed nanodrug. The cell apoptosis experiment further verified the synergistic chemo-photothermal effect, thus paving a way toward design of high-efficiency and low-toxicity antitumor nanodrug.

Background and aims: COX-2-selective inhibitors have been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular complications, and their impact on atherosclerosis ( AS) remains controversial. The proinflammatory COX-2 and 5-LO pathways both play essential roles in AS and related cardiovascular diseases. Previous clinical studies have provided evidence of the ability of COX-2-selective inhibitors to shunt AA metabolism from the COX-2 pathway to the 5-LO pathway. In this study, the effects of celecoxib, a selective COX-2 inhibitor, on AS and the COX-2 and 5-LO pathways were investigated in vivo and in vitro. Methods: Male ApoE(-/-) mice fed a western-type diet for 18 weeks and cultured mouse RAW264.7 macrophages stimulated with 1 mu g/mL LPS for 24 h were used in this study. Results: In ApoE(-/-) mice, intragastric administration of celecoxib ( 80 mg/kg/d) for 18 weeks significantly increased aortic atherosclerotic lesion area but had no effect on hyperlipidemia. In addition, celecoxib significantly lowered TNF-a and PGE2 levels but increased both LTB4 and CysLTs levels in aortic tissues. In LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages, pretreatment with 8 mu mol/L celecoxib for 1 h significantly lowered the TNF-a, NO, and PGE2 levels but increased the LTB4 and CysLTs levels. Celecoxib also decreased the protein and mRNA expression of COX-2 but increased the expression of 5-LO and LTC4S in both ApoE(-/-) mouse aortic tissues and LPSstimulated RAW264.7 macrophages. Conclusion: The COX-2-selective inhibitor celecoxib can aggravate atherogenesis, an effect that may be related to upregulation of LTs via a 5-LO pathway shunt.
BACKGROUND: The rare earth elements (Res) have multiple bio-activities and some extent neurotoxicity, Because of their distinct physical and chemical properties. The studies on neuromuscular junction and sympathet ic ganglia have shown that some Res, such as lanthanum(La), gadolinium (Gd),etc, exert considerable effects on synaptic transmission, but the effects and mechanism of Samarium on synaptic transmission are still unknown.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects and impossible mechanism of Samarium Chloride (SmCl3) on the nicotinic transmission in the isolated sympathetic ganglia, superior cervical ganglion (SCG) of rats.DESIGN: Controlled experimental study based on cells.SETTING: Department of Pharmacology, Guangxi Medical University. MATERIALS: Totally 40 adult Wistar rats (weighing 250-300 g) of either sex, provided by the Experimental Animal Center of Guangxi Medical University, were used in this study. SmCl3 was made by the chlorination of Samarium Oxide with purity 99.5% and relative molecule mass 348.7, presented by Professor Liu Da-yuan, Guangxi Medical University. Acetylcholine chloride (Ach) and carbachol (Carb) were purchased from Sigma.METHODS: The experiment was completed at the neuropharmacology lab of the experimental center of Guangxi Medical University from September 2001 to December 2002. After sacrificing animals by acute exsanguination,SCG together with their preganglionic nerve trunks were isolated rapidly,then transferred to the recording chamber, the preganglionic nerve trunk was drawn into a suction electrode for orthodromic stimulation. The ganglia were superfused continuously with a Krebs solution, saturated with 950 mL/L 02 and 5mL/L CO2, pH 7.4±0.05, (34±0.5) ℃.The fiber containing glass microelectrodes filled with 3 mol/L KC1 (30-60 MΩ tip resistance) were used to impaled cells and do intracellular recording. The fast excitatory postsynaptic potentials (FEPSPs) were evoked in SCG neurons by single pulse stimulations (0.2-0.5 Hz, 0.5-1.0 ms, 2-10 V)on preganglionic nerve trunk. The remarkable membrane depolarization would be recorded in SCG neurons by superfusing ganglia with exogenous Ach (0.1 mmol/L) or Carb(0.1 mmol/L) for 30-60 s. The effects of 1×(10-7-10-4) mol/L SmCl3 on FEPSPs, membrane potentials, membrane resistance, exogenous Ach and Carb-induced membrane depolarization of SCG neurons were investigated in this experiment.The effects of SmCl3 on the facilitation of high Ca2+ (10 mmol/L ) on FEPSPs were also be observed, namely, first superfusing the ganglia with high Ca2+ (10 mmol/L)to facilitate FEPSPs, then superfusing the ganglia with Ca2+(10 mmol/L)contained SmCl3. All the drugs were solved in Krebs solution or improved Krebs solution and applied to ganglia by superfusion in known concentration.The bioelectricity difference before and after the drug superfusion were analyzed by paired Student's t test.MAIN OUTCOME MESURES: ①Effects of SmCl3 on FEPSPs.②Effects of SmCl3 on membrane potentials and membrane resistances. ③Effects of SmCl3 on exogenous Ach and Carb-induced membrane depolarization. ④Effects of SmCl3 on the facilitation of high Ca2+ (10 mmol/L ) on FEPSPs.RESULTS: ① 1 ×(10-7-10-4)mol/L SmCl3 could reversibly depressed the FEPSPs of rats SCG neurons [the amplitude inhibitory percentage of FEPSPs of l×10-4, 1×10-5, 1×10-6, 1×107 mol/L SmCl3 was (49.78±13.85)%(n=20),(39.05±4.05)%(n=10),(29.83±9.73)%(n=10)and (16.30±2.16)%(n=10)respectively (P < 0.05-0.01)].1×10-4 mol/L SmCl3 could chang Aps into FEPSPs (n=5).②The membrane depolarization induced by Ach (n=5) and Carb (n=7) were not significantly changed by 1×10-4 mol/L SmCl3(P > 0.05).③The membrane potential and membrane resistance were not significantly altered by 1×(10-7-10-4)mol/L SmCl3(n=67), P > 0.05. ④1×10-4 mol/L SmCl3 could antagonized the facilitation of high Ca2+ (10 mmol/L ) on FEPSPs (n=5), P < 0.01.CONCLUSION: SmCl3 can depresses nicotinic transmission in rats sympathetic ganglia by presynaptic mechanisms, perhaps due to its inhibition on Ca2+ influx.
