Colchicine delivered by a novel nanoparticle platform alleviates atherosclerosis by targeted inhibition of NF- κB/NLRP3 pathways in inflammatory endothelial cells
J Nanobiotechnology. 2023 Nov 30;21(1):460. doi: 10.1186/s12951-023-02228-z.ABSTRACTAtherosclerosis, a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by arterial plaque formation, is one of the most prominent causes of cardiovascular diseases. However, the current treatments often do not adequately compromise the chronic inflammation-mediated plaque accumulation and the disease progression. Therefore, a new and effective strategy that blocks atherosclerosis-associated inflammation is urgently needed to further reduce the risk. Colchicine, a potent anti-inflammatory medication, has shown great potential in the treatment of athe...

A rare cause of AA amyloidosis: Glomus tumor and treatment with anakinra —Case report and literature review
AbstractSystemic AA amyloidosis is associated with poorly controlled chronic inflammatory disorders. Chronic infections and inflammatory arthritis are the most common causes; however, they can also rarely occur as a complication of neoplastic disorders. The development of AA amyloidosis secondary to paraganglioma, which is a rare type of tumor, has rarely been reported in the literature. In this case, an 85-year-old female patient with a glomus tumor in the neck, who has been followed up over 50  years, applied with complaints of loss of appetite, nausea, and diarrhea for 5–6 months. While evaluating the patient, who...

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSoluble pea protein isolate-curcumin nanoparticles were successfully prepared at a novel pH combination, with encapsulation efficiency and drug loading amount of 95.69 ± 1.63 % and 32.73 ± 0.56 μg/mg, respectively, resulting in >4000-fold increase in the water solubility of curcumin. The encapsulation propensity and interaction mechanism of pea protein isolates with curcumin and colchicine were comparatively evaluated by structural characterization, molecular dynamics simulations and molecular docking.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of structurally diverse 6-aryl-3-aroyl-indole analogues as inhibitors of tubulin polymerization
Eur J Med Chem. 2023 Sep 6;263:115794. doi: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2023.115794. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe synthesis and evaluation of small-molecule inhibitors of tubulin polymerization remains a promising approach for the development of new therapeutic agents for cancer treatment. The natural products colchicine and combretastatin A-4 (CA4) inspired significant drug discovery campaigns targeting the colchicine site located on the beta-subunit of the tubulin heterodimer, but so far these efforts have not yielded an approved drug for cancer treatment in human patients. Interest in the colchicine site was enhanced by the d...
