Investigation on the antipyretic mechanism of Chaiqin Qingning capsule for the treatment of fever based on network pharmacology, molecular docking, and in vitro experimental validation

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

We used an integrative methods to investigate and elucidate the molecular mechanism of Chaiqin Qingning capsule (CQQNC) in the treatment of fever. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the molecular mechanism of CQQNC in the treatment of fever. A total of 381 common targets have been crossed by CQQNC for the treatment of fever.

Curcumin activates the JNK signaling pathway to promote ferroptosis in colon cancer cells

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

Curcumin modulates the gene and protein expression levels of ferroptosis mediators via JNK signaling. Cell treatment with curcumin led to accumulation of ROS and iron within cells and increase in the intracellular levels of lipid peroxidation. Curcumin suppressed SW-480 cancer cells viability in dose-dependent manner.

Matrine exerts an anti?tumor effect via regulating HN1 in triple breast cancer both in vitro and in vivo

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

Matrine inhibits TNBC cell proliferation, migration and invasion, promotes apoptosis, and suppresses tumor growth through down-regulation of HN1 expression. Abstract The treatment of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cannot meet medical needs, and it is urgent to find new drugs for intervention.

Triptolide inhibits proliferation and invasion of colorectal cancer cells by blocking Nrf2 expression

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

As such, triptolide is expected to be a potential drug for colorectal cancer treatment. The protein expression levels of nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2, and MMP-9 were detected by western blotting. Its mechanism of action may be related to the inhibition of Nrf2 signaling.

Sulfasalazine inhibits esophageal cancer cell proliferation by mediating ferroptosis

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

Compared with the control group (0 mM SAS), the proliferation of TE-1 cells was significantly inhibited by different concentrations of SAS for different time lengths, and 4 mM SAS treatment for 48 h could obtain the maximum inhibition rate (53.9%).

Prostaglandin E2 may clinically alleviate dry eye disease by inducing Th17 cell differentiation

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

However, the DE disease pathogenesis remains unclear, thereby affecting its clinical treatment. RT-qPCR and western blotting were used to test the mRNA and protein expression levels of IL-17 and retinoid-related orphan receptor-γt (RORγt). PGE2 was highly expressed in the DE mouse model.
