Artesunate Suppresses the Migration and Invasion of Thyroid Cancer Cells via Upregulating PTEN to Block M2 Polarization of Tumor‐Associated Macrophages

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

ABSTRACT Immunotherapy holds promise for thyroid cancer (TC) treatment. The mRNA or protein expressions of examined genes were measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction or Western blot. The viability, migration, and invasion of TC cells were detected by cell counting kit-8, wound healing, and transwell assays.

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.

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%).

Synthesis, Antioxidant Activity, and Molecular Docking of Novel Paeoniflorin Derivatives

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

Compound 22 might become a novel antioxidant for the treatment of oxidative stress-related diseases. Western blot and molecular docking indicated that compound 22 may exert antioxidant activity by activating Nrf2 protein expression. As noted in the study, compound 22 has the potential to be a novel antioxidant.
