This study evaluated the potential of isoCoQ-Carbazole, a diheterocyclic analog isoCA-4, as an anti-tumor agent. To overcome its low aqueous solubility, liposomes were developed delivery system for compound. In vitro experiments showed that loaded exhibited similar activity to free form on multiple human tumor cell lines. vivo using palliative intratumoral injection chemotherapy approach further demonstrated isoCoQ-Carbazole significantly reduced growth in CA-4-resistant HT29 model, without inducing any observable toxicity or weight loss treated mice. These findings suggest liposomal may hold promise therapeutic agent treatment inoperable, radiation-insensitive cancers.

Glioblastoma (GB) is the most aggressive and common type of cancer within central nervous system (CNS). Despite vast knowledge its physiopathology histology, etiology at molecular level has not been completely understood. Thus, attaining a cure possible yet it remains one deadliest types cancer. Usually, GB diagnosed when some symptoms have already presented by patient. This diagnosis commonly based on physical exam imaging studies, such as computed tomography (CT) magnetic resonance (MRI), together with or followed surgical biopsy. As these diagnostic procedures are very invasive often result only in confirmation presence, necessary to develop less prognostic tools that lead earlier treatment increase patients’ quality life. Therefore, blood-based biomarkers (BBBs) represent excellent candidates this context. microRNAs (miRNAs) small, non-coding RNAs demonstrated be stable almost all body fluids, including saliva, serum, plasma, urine, cerebrospinal fluid (CFS), semen, breast milk. In addition, serum-circulating exosome-contained miRNAs successfully used better classify subtypes make choices regarding best for specific cases. Moreover, regulate multiple target genes can also act tumor suppressors oncogenes, they involved appearance, progression, even chemoresistance tumors. review, we discuss how dysregulated early prognosis well markers subclassify cases provide more personalized treatments, which may response against GB. therapeutic potential miRNAs, current challenges their clinical application, future directions field.

Nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) have the potential to increase bioavailability and reduce side effects of docetaxel (DTX). However, only a small fraction nanoparticles given intravenously can reach solid tumor. In situ-forming gels combined with facilitate local administration promote drug retention at tumor site. Injectable hydrogels based on poloxamer 407 are excellent candidates for this hybrid nanoparticle-hydrogel system because their thermoresponsive behavior biocompatibility. Therefore, work aimed develop injectable containing NLCs intratumoral delivery DTX. To ensure sterility, obtained were autoclaved (121 °C 15 min) after preparation. Then, incorporation into impact steam sterilization nanocomposite evaluated concerning sol-gel transition, injectability, physicochemical stability. All formulations extruded through tested syringe-needle systems acceptable force (2.2-13.4 N) (49.5-317.7 N·mm) injection. Following sterilization, injection became easier in most cases, properties all remained practically unchanged according spectroscopical thermal analysis. The rheological evaluation revealed that liquid 25 underwent rapid gelation 37 °C. sterilized counterparts gelled 1-2 above body temperature, suggesting autoclaving conditions employed had rendered these unsuitable delivery.
