Amino acid derivative of probenecid potentiates apoptosis-inducing effects of vinblastine by increasing oxidative stress in a cancer cell-specific manner
Chem Biol Interact. 2023 Dec 13:110833. doi: 10.1016/j.cbi.2023.110833. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMany chemotherapeutic drugs suffer from multidrug resistance (MDR). Efflux transporters, namely ATP-binding cassettes (ABCs), that pump the drugs out of the cancer cells comprise one major reason behind MDR. Therefore, ABC inhibitors have been under development for ages, but unfortunately, without clinical success. In the present study, an L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1)-utilizing derivative of probenecid (PRB) was developed as a cancer cell-targeted efflux inhibitor for P-glycoprotein (P-gp), breast cancer resistan...

Niacin treatment prevents bone loss in iron overload osteoporotic rats via activation of SIRT1 signaling pathway
Chem Biol Interact. 2023 Dec 9:110827. doi: 10.1016/j.cbi.2023.110827. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRecently, more and more studies have revealed that iron overload can lead to osteoporosis by inducing oxidative stress. Niacin (NAN), also known as nicotinate or vitamin B3, has been confirmed to possess potent antioxidative effects. In addition, very little is currently known about the protective effects of NAN on iron overload in osteoporotic bone tissue. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the protective effect of niacin on iron overload-induced bone injury and to investigate the effect and underlying mechanisms of the niaci...

Bisdemethoxycurcumin, a curcumin derivative, ameliorates adjuvant-induced arthritis by suppressing inflammatory reactions and macrophage migration

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a highly prevalent and chronic inflammatory synovial joint disease manifested by hyperplasia and continuous inflammation. Curcumin (Cur) has been studied for alleviating RA. However, poor stability and oral bioavailability restrict its therapeutic value. Bisdemethoxycurcumin (BDMC), a curcumin (Cur) derivative, exerts better stability and oral bioavailability than Cur. However, the efficacy of BDMC on RA has not been fully clarified. The aim of the study was to investigate the therapeutic eď...

Inhibition of cisplatin-induced Acsl4-mediated ferroptosis alleviated ovarian injury
In this study, we demonstrated that cisplatin treatment caused the accumulation of iron ions which induced ferroptosis in ovarian tissue. And our results show that ferrostatin-1 was able to suppress the ovarian injury and granulosa cell death caused by cisplatin (Cis) in vivo and in vitro. At the same time, we observed significant changes in the expression levels of Acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (Acsl4) and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4). Similarly, Rosiglitazone, an inhibitor of Acsl4, administration alleviated the ovary damage of the mice undergoing chemotherapy. Further mechanistic investigation showed...
