Abstract
Microwave-assisted phospha-Michael addition reactions were carried out in the 13α-oestrone series. The exocyclic 16-methylene-17-ketones as α,β-unsaturated ketones were reacted with secondary phosphine oxides as nucleophilic partners. The addition reactions furnished the two tertiary phosphine oxide diastereomers in high yields. The main product was the 16α-isomer. The antiproliferative activities of the newly synthesised organophosphorus compounds against a panel of nine human cancer cell lines were investigated by means of MTT assays. The most potent compound, the diphenylphosphine oxide derivative in the 3-O-methyl-13α-oestrone series (9), exerted selective cell growth-inhibitory activity against UPCI-SCC-131 and T47D cell lines with low micromolar IC50 values. Moreover, it displayed good tumour selectivity property determined against non-cancerous mouse fibroblast cells.

Abstract
The purpose of this review article is to provide an overview of recent achievements in the synthesis of novel steroid sulphatase (STS) inhibitors. STS is a crucial enzyme in the biosynthesis of active hormones (including oestrogens and androgens) and, therefore, represents an extremely attractive molecular target for the development of hormone-dependent cancer therapies. The inhibition of STS may effectively reduce the availability of active hormones for cancer cells, causing a positive therapeutic effect. Herein, we report examples of novel STS inhibitors based on steroidal and nonsteroidal cores that contain various functional groups (e.g. sulphamate and phosphorus moieties) and halogen atoms, which may potentially be used in therapies for hormone-dependent cancers. The presented work also includes examples of multitargeting agents with STS inhibitory activities. Furthermore, the fundamental discoveries in the development of the most promising drug candidates exhibiting STS inhibitory activities are highlighted.

Abstract
A series of fluorinated analogs based on the frameworks of 4-(1-phenyl-1H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-yl)-phenyl sulfamates have been synthesized as steroid sulfatase (STS) inhibitors. The design of chemical structures of new potential STS inhibitors was supported by molecular docking techniques to identify potential interactions between inhibitors and amino acid residues located in the STS active site. The STS inhibitory potency was evaluated on STS isolated from human placenta. We found that compounds substituted with fluorine atom at the meta position demonstrated the highest inhibitory effects in enzymatic STS assay. The most active analog 12e - inhibited STS enzyme with the IC50 value of 36 nM.

Abstract
Background Prediction of drug response based on multi-omics data is a crucial task in the research of personalized cancer therapy. Results We proposed an iterative sure independent ranking and screening (ISIRS) scheme to select drug response-associated features and applied it to the Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia (CCLE) dataset. For each drug in CCLE, we incorporated multi-omics data including copy number alterations, mutation and gene expression and selected up to 50 features using ISIRS. Then a linear regression model based on the selected features was exploited to predict the drug response. Cross validation test shows that our prediction accuracies are higher than existing methods for most drugs. Conclusions Our study indicates that the features selected by the marginal utility measure, which measures the conditional probability of drug responses given the feature, are helpful for drug response prediction.

Abstract
Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) sulfatases, which catalyze the hydrolysis of sulfate esters from GAGs, belong to a large and conserved sulfatase family. Bacterial GAG sulfatases are essential in the process of sulfur cycling and are useful for the structural analysis of GAGs. Only a few GAG-specific sulfatases have been studied in detail and reported to date. Herein, the GAG-degrading Photobacterium sp. FC615 was isolated from marine sediment, and a novel Δ4,5hexuronate-2-O-sulfatase (PB2SF) was identified from this bacterium. PB2SF specifically removed 2-O-sulfate from the unsaturated hexuronate residue located at the non-reducing end of GAG oligosaccharides produced by GAG lyases. A structural model of PB2SF was constructed through a homology-modeling method. Six conserved amino acids around the active site were chosen for further analysis using site-directed mutagenesis. N113A, K141A, K141H, H143A, H143K, H205A, and H205K mutants exhibited only feeble activity, while the H310A, H310K, and D52A mutants were totally inactive, indicating that these conserved residues, particularly Asp52 and His310, were essential in the catalytic mechanism. Furthermore, bioinformatic analysis revealed that GAG sulfatases with specific degradative properties clustered together in the neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree. Based on this finding, 60 Δ4,5hexuronate-2-O-sulfatases were predicted in the NCBI protein database, and one with relatively low identity to PB2SF was characterized to confirm our prediction. Moreover, the signature sequences of bacterial Δ4,5hexuronate-2-O-sulfatases were identified. With the reported signature motifs, the sulfatase sequence of the Δ4,5hexuronate-2-O-sulfatase family could be simply identified before cloning. Taken together, the results of this study should aid in the identification and further application of novel GAG sulfatases.

Abstract
The placenta serves as the interface between the maternal and fetal circulations and regulates the transfer of oxygen, nutrients, and waste products. When exogenous substances are present in the maternal bloodstream-whether from environmental contact, occupational exposure, medication, or drug abuse-the extent to which this exposure affects the fetus is determined by transport and biotransformation processes in the placental barrier. Advances in drug delivery strategies are expected to improve the treatment of maternal and fetal diseases encountered during pregnancy.
