As part of valorisation agricultural waste into bioactive compounds, a series structurally novel oleanolic acid ((3β-hydroxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid, OA-1)-phtalimidines (isoindolinones) conjugates 18a-v bearing 1,2,3-triazole moieties were designed and synthesized by treating previously azide 4 prepared from OA-1 isolated olive pomace (Olea europaea L.) with wide range propargylated phtalimidines using the Cu(I)-catalyzed click chemistry approach. its newly analogues screened in vitro for their antibacterial activity against two Gram-positive bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus Listeria monocytogenes; Gram-negative Salmonella thyphimurium Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Attractive results obtained notably L. monocytogenes. Compounds 18d, 18g 18h exhibited highest when compared other compounds tested pathogenic bacterial strains. Molecular docking study was performed to explore binding mode most active derivatives target protein Results showed importance both hydrogen bonding hydrophobic interactions are favor experimental data.

Neuroblastoma and glioblastoma are primary malignant tumors of the nervous system, with frequent relapse limited clinical therapeutic drugs. The failure their treatment is due to tumor cells exhibiting cancer stem-like (CSLCs) properties. Octamer binding transcription factor 4 (Oct4) involved in mediating CSLCs, our previous work found that Oct4-driven reprogramming astrocytes into induced neural stem was potentiated continuous sonic hedgehog (Shh) stimulation. In this study, we aimed study importance Oct4 Shh combination stemness properties induction neuroblastoma cells, evaluate anti-stemness effect dauricine (DAU), a natural product bis-benzylisoquinoline alkaloid. co-activation on evaluated by spheres formation model flow cytometry analysis. Then effects DAU SH-SY5Y T98-G were assessed MTT, colony formation, model. acts verified using Western blotting, so on. Mechanistic studies explored siRNA transfection assay, We identified effectively improved Oct4-mediated generation promoted cell growth, resistance apoptosis. addition, DAU, product, be able attenuate Oct4/Shh co-activated induce cycle arrest apoptosis via blocking AKT/β-catenin signaling glioblastoma, which contributed growth inhibition DAU. summary, results indicated may served as potential method glioblastoma.

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is pivotal in regulating human reproduction and fertility through its specific receptors. Among these, gonadotropin-releasing receptor type I (GnRHR I), which a member of the G-protein-coupled family, expressed on surface both healthy malignant cells. Its presence cancer cells has positioned this as primary target for development novel anti-cancer agents. Moreover, extensive regulatory functions GnRH have underscored decapeptide prominent vehicle targeted drug delivery, accomplished design appropriate conjugates. On basis, rationally designed series anthraquinone/mitoxantrone-GnRH conjugates (con1-con8) been synthesized herein. Their vitro binding affinities range from 0.06 to 3.42 nM, with six them (con2-con7) demonstrating higher than established leuprolide (0.64 nM). mitoxantrone based conjugates, con3 con7 show highest at 0.07 respectively, while disulfide bond present found be readily reduced by thioredoxin (Trx) system. These findings are promising further pharmacological evaluation prospect performing future clinical studies.

Herein, we present a general approach for synthesizing pluramycin hybrids, which are analogous to the pluramycinone carbocyclic skeleton. This method involves sequence of relay ring-closing enyne metathesis, Diels-Alder and oxidative aromatization reactions synthesize pluramycinone-sugar hybrids. As part our ongoing research, have successfully synthesized two hybrid analogues by carefully monitoring late-stage steps, depend on stereo-orientation cycloadduct at C-4 center. The undesired ring-opening product can also serve as
