Lycorine Suppresses Non‐Small‐Cell Lung Cancer Progression Through Activating STING Pathway and Stimulating an Antitumor Immune Response

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

Notably, LYD also exhibited antitumor activity in LLC mice and induced an antitumor immune response. It has been demonstrated that Lycorine (LYD), a naturally occurring active sesquiterpene present in Chinese medicinal plants, exhibits anti-cancer properties across various cancer cell lines.

Could natural terpenes be an alternative for the treatment of neglected tropical diseases?

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

Terpenes are compounds that inhibit the growth of Leishmania spp, Schistosoma spp, and Echinococcus spp, cause changes in parasite ultrastructure, inhibit enzyme activity, and modulate the immune response. Their use in combination therapy decreases the concentration of the reference drug used.

The Long Road to End Tuberculosis

Codon

In the 1924 novel, The Magic Mountain , Thomas Mann describes a sanatorium patient named Anton Ferge as he undergoes a painful tuberculosis (TB) treatment. During vaccination, the BCG strain normally primes immune cells to destroy infections, and owing to its similarity to M. million people every year. tuberculosis.

Second-Generation mRNA COVID-19 Vaccine Candidate, CV2CoV, Demonstrates Improved Immune Response and Protection in Preclinical Study

The Pharma Data

Better activation of innate and adaptive immune responses was achieved with CV2CoV, resulting in faster response onset, higher titers of antibodies, and stronger memory B and T cell activation as compared to the first-generation candidate, CVnCoV. “In Induction of innate immunity was investigated via specific cytokine markers.
