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.

Updates to HER2 testing guidelines reduces confusion 

Drug Discovery World

The recent clinical trial for metastatic breast cancer patients (DESTINY-Breast04) found that a treatment traditionally used for HER2 positive patients was also effective in patients considered HER2 negative. It used the current CAP/ASCO testing algorithm for HER2 protein expression levels.
