Abstract
Persicaria capitata was a frequently used Hmong medicinal flora in China. In this study, one new phenolic compound, capitaone A (1) together with 20 known ones, were isolated from the whole herb of P. capitata. Among them, 7 components (4, 9-11, 15-16, 20-21) were discovered from P. capitata for the first time. Their chemical structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive NMR and MS spectrum. Furthermore, three compounds (15, 20, 21) displayed remarkable cytotoxic activities against two human cancer cell lines (A549 and HepG2).

[PMID: 38429828 PMCID: PMC10908151 DOI: 10.1186/s40164-024-00493-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2024] [Accepted: 02/21/2024] [Indexed: 03/03/2024] Open
Abstract
A drug conjugate consists of a cytotoxic drug bound via a linker to a targeted ligand, allowing the targeted delivery of the drug to one or more tumor sites. This approach simultaneously reduces drug toxicity and increases efficacy, with a powerful combination of efficient killing and precise targeting. Antibody‒drug conjugates (ADCs) are the best-known type of drug conjugate, combining the specificity of antibodies with the cytotoxicity of chemotherapeutic drugs to reduce adverse reactions by preferentially targeting the payload to the tumor. The structure of ADCs has also provided inspiration for the development of additional drug conjugates. In recent years, drug conjugates such as ADCs, peptide‒drug conjugates (PDCs) and radionuclide drug conjugates (RDCs) have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The scope and application of drug conjugates have been expanding, including combination therapy and precise drug delivery, and a variety of new conjugation technology concepts have emerged. Additionally, new conjugation technology-based drugs have been developed in industry. In addition to chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy, drug conjugate therapy has undergone continuous development and made significant progress in treating lung cancer in recent years, offering a promising strategy for the treatment of this disease. In this review, we discuss recent advances in the use of drug conjugates for lung cancer treatment, including structure-based drug design, mechanisms of action, clinical trials, and side effects. Furthermore, challenges, potential approaches and future prospects are presented.

Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a dreadful complication of diabetes that affects ∼50% of diabetics and is a leading cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Studies have linked aberrant expression of lysine methyltransferases (KMTs) to the onset and progression of DN. SET7 is a KMT that methylates specific lysine residues of the histone and nonhistone proteins. It plays an important role in the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β)-induced upregulation of extracellular matrix (ECM)-associated genes that are responsible for the inflammatory cascade observed in DN. Inhibiting SET7 has potential to attenuate renal disorders in animal studies. This review will focus on the role of SET7 in DN and its potential as a therapeutic target to combat DN.

Abstract
Phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K) overexpressed in many tumors is a promising target for cancer therapy. However, due to toxicity from the ubiquitous expression of PI3K in many tissues, the development of PI3K inhibitors with high selectivity and low toxicity has become an urgent need for tumor treatment. Herein, based on the HipHop, we designed and synthesized a series of 6-(4,6-dimorpholino-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)benzo[d]oxazol-2-amine derivatives as potent, selective, and long-acting PI3Kα inhibitors. Compound 27 was determined with potent PI3Kα inhibitory activity (IC50 = 4.4 nM), which exhibited excellent selectivity for homologous PI3K enzymes and a 370 kinome panel. Meanwhile, 27 featured favorable stability (T1/2 > 10 h) and high bioavailability (130%). Importantly, compound 27 exerted great antigastric cancer activity in vivo when combined with taxol. Collectively, these characteristics suggested 27 to be a promising PI3K agent for cancer treatment.

Abstract
DNA is packaged in rolls in an octamer of histones forming a complex of DNA and proteins called chromatin. Chromatin as a structural matrix of a chromosome and its modifications are nowadays considered relevant aspects for regulating gene expression, which has become of high interest in understanding genetic mechanisms regulating various diseases, including cancer. In various types of cancer, the main modifications are found to be DNA methylation in the CpG dinucleotide as a silencing mechanism in transcription, post-translational histone modifications such as acetylation, methylation and others that affect the chromatin structure, the ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling and miRNA-mediated gene silencing. In this review we analyze the main alterations in gene expression, the epigenetic modification patterns that cancer cells present, as well as the main modulators and inhibitors of each epigenetic mechanism and the molecular evolution of the most representative inhibitors, which have opened a promising future in the study of HAT, HDAC, non-glycoside DNMT inhibitors and domain inhibitors.

Abstract
Icaritin is an active ingredient in Epimedium, which has a variety of pharmacological activities. However, the low activity of Icaritin and the unclear target greatly limit its application. Therefore, based on the structure of Icaritin, we adopted the strategy of replacing toxic groups and introducing active groups to design and synthesize a series of new analogues. The top compound C3 exhibited better antimultiple myeloma activity with an IC50 of 1.09 μM for RPMI 8226 cells, induced RPMI 8226 apoptosis, and blocked the cell cycle in the S phase. Importantly, transcriptome analysis, cellular thermal shift assay, and microscale thermophoresis assay confirmed that DEPTOR was the target of C3. Moreover, we explored its binding mode with C3. Especially, C3 displayed satisfactory inhibition of tumor growth in RPMI 8226 xenografts without obvious side effects. In summary, C3 was discovered as a novel putative inhibitor of DEPTOR for the treatment of multiple myeloma.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential vanilloid type 3 (TRPV3) is a Ca2+ permeable nonselective cation channel and expressed abundantly in skin keratinocytes. TRPV3 emerges as an attractive target for treatment of pruritic, inflammatory, pain and skin-related diseases. However, only a few reports of TRPV3 inhibitors exist at present besides some patents. Therefore, TRPV3 research has always been fraught with challenges. Through a combination of virtual screening and biological evaluation, compound P1 (10 μM) was identified as a top hit with 34.5% inhibitory effect on 2-APB (1 mM)-evoked currents of mTRPV3-WT. Further structural optimization provided the inhibitor PC5 with the best activity (IC50 = 2.63 ± 0.28 μM), and point mutation assays indicated that amino acids V629 and F633 are crucial for the binding of PC5 and TRPV3. In summary, these newly discovered inhibitors could serve as promising lead compounds for the development of TRPV3 inhibitors in the future.
