Abstract Inducing apoptosis in different types of cancer cells is an effective therapeutic strategy. However, the success existing chemotherapeutics can be compromised by tumor cell resistance and systemic off-target effects. Therefore, discovery pro-apoptotic compounds with minimal side-effects crucial. 14-3-3 proteins are molecular scaffolds that serve as important regulators survival. Our previous study demonstrated 14-3-3ζ sequester BAD, a member BCL-2 protein family, cytoplasm prevent its translocation to mitochondria inhibit induction apoptosis. Despite being critical mechanism survival, it unclear whether disrupting protein:BAD interactions could harnessed chemotherapeutic approach. Herein, we established BRET-based high-throughput drug screening approach (Z’-score= 0.52) capable identifying molecules disrupt 14-3-3ζBAD interactions. An FDA-approved library containing 1971 was used for screening, capacity identified hits induce death examined NIH3T3-fibroblasts colorectal lines, HT-29 Caco-2. vitro results suggest terfenadine, penfluridol, lomitapide potentially repurposed treating cancer. Moreover, our method demonstrates feasibility agents applied towards conditions where aberrant growth or function key determinants disease pathogenesis.

We discuss how interactions among bacterial species affect ecosystem’s balance metabolites influence host immune responses, contributing disease progression. Leveraging these insights, we propose cutting-edge therapeutic approaches aimed at restoring equilibrium. These include personalized pharmacological interventions tailored individual microbiome profiles innovative microbiome-targeted strategies such probiotic formulations bacteriophage therapy. By precisely modulating communities, hold promise for enhancing treatment efficacy, preventing recurrence, mitigating issues like antimicrobial resistance.

Abstract Background: To evaluate the clinical outcomes of periodontal patients treated with nonsurgical therapy or without coconut oil as an adjunctive method. Methods: Thirty participants stage II-III periodontitis were randomly assigned to three groups: oil, 0.12% chlorhexidine, and placebo (coconut-flavored water) for one month, followed by therapy. A blinded examiner assessed plaque index, bleeding on probing, probing pocket depth, attachment level, saliva pH, tooth color, sulfur compounds in breath, patient-reported outcomes, including Oral Health Impact Profile-14. Results: Compared placebo, both chlorhexidine significantly reduced index (p=0.001; p=0.006), p=0.001), depth level p=0.015) (p=0.045; p=0.003).
