Ghosh N, De S, Pramanik NR, Sil PC. Multifaceted antineoplastic curative potency of novel water-soluble methylimidazole-based oxidovanadium (IV) complex against triple negative mammary carcinoma. Cell Signal 2024; 117:111089. [PMID: 38331012 DOI: 10.1016/j.cellsig.2024.111089] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2023] [Revised: 01/02/2024] [Accepted: 02/04/2024] [Indexed: 02/10/2024]
Abstract
A bunch of complexes harboring vanadium as metal centers have been reported to exhibit a wide array of antineoplastic properties that come under non‑platinum metallodrug series and emerge to offer alternative therapeutic strategies from the mechanistic behaviors of platinum-drugs. Though antineoplastic activities of vanado-complexes have been documented against several animal and xenografted human cancers, the definite mechanism of action is yet to unveil. In present study, a novel water soluble 1-methylimidazole substituted mononuclear dipicolinic acid based oxidovanadium (IV) complex (OVMI) has been evaluated for its antineoplastic properties in breast carcinoma both in vitro and in vivo. OVMI has been reported to generate cytotoxicity in human triple negative breast carcinoma cells, MDA-MB-231 as well as in mouse 4T1 cells by priming them for apoptosis. ROS-mediated, mitochondria-dependent as well as ER-stress-evoked apoptotic death seemed to be main operational hub guiding the cytotoxicity of OVMI in vitro. Moreover, OVMI has been noticed to elicit antimetastatic effect in vitro. Therapeutic application of OVMI has been extended on 4T1-based mammary tumor of female Balb/c mice, where it has been found to reduce tumor size, volume and restore general tissue architecture successfully to a great extent. Apart from that, OVMI has been documented to limit 4T1-based secondary pulmonary metastasis along with being non-toxic and biocompatible in vivo.

Abstract
Cancer encompasses a group of pathologies with common characteristics, high incidence, and prevalence in all countries. Although there are treatments available for this disease, they are not always effective or safe, often failing to achieve the desired results. This is why it is necessary to continue the search for new therapies. One of the strategies for obtaining new antitumor drugs is the use of 1,4-naphthoquinone as a scaffold in synthetic or natural products with antitumor activity. This review focuses on compiling studies related to the antitumor activity of 1,4-naphthoquinone and its natural and synthetic derivatives over the last 10 years. The work describes the main natural naphthoquinones with antitumor activity and classifies the synthetic naphthoquinones based on the structural modifications made to the scaffold. Additionally, the formation of metal complexes using naphthoquinones as a ligand is considered. After a thorough review, 197 synthetic compounds with potent biological activity against cancer have been classified according to their chemical structures and their mechanisms of action have been described.

Cell Signal 2023; 111:110876.

Abstract
Selective initiation of programmed cell death in cancer cells than normal cells is reflected as an attractive chemotherapeutic strategy. In the current study, a series of synthetic bis-coumarin derivatives were synthesized possessing reactive oxygen species (ROS) modulating functional groups and examined in four cancerous and two normal cell lines for their cytotoxic ability using MTT assay. Among these compounds, 3 l emerged as the most promising derivative in persuading apoptosis in human renal carcinoma cells (SKRC-45) among diverse cancer cell lines. 3 l causes significantly less cytotoxicity to normal kidney cells compared to cisplatin. This compound was able to induce apoptosis and cell-cycle arrest by modulating the p53 mediated apoptotic pathways via the generation of ROS, decreasing mitochondrial membrane potential, and causing DNA fragmentation. Unlike cisplatin, the 3 l derivative was found to inhibit the nuclear localisation of NF-κB in SKRC-45 cells. It was also found to reduce the proliferation, survival and migration ability of SKRC-45 cells by downregulating COX-2/ PTGES2 cascade and MMP-2. In an in vivo tumor model, 3 l showed an anticancer effect by reducing the mean tumor mass, volume and inducing caspase-3 activation, without affecting kidney function. Further studies are needed to establish 3 l as a promising anti-cancer drug candidate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung cancer is the deadliest type of cancer in the world and the search for compounds that can treat this disease is highly important. Lawsone (2-hydroxy-1,4-naphtoquinone) is a naphthoquinone found in plants from the Lawsone genus that show a high cytotoxic effect in cancer cell lines and its derivatives show an even higher cytotoxic effect. METHODS Sulforhodamine B was used to evaluate the cytotoxic activity of compounds on tumor cells. Clonogenic assay was used to analyze the reduction of colonies and wound healing assay to the migratory capacity of A549 cells. Apoptosis and necrosis were analyzed by flow cytometer and Giemsa staining. Hemolysis assay to determine toxicity in human erythrocytes. RESULTS Lawsone derivatives were evaluated and compound 1 (O-propargyllawsone) was the one with the highest cytotoxic effect, with IC50 below 2.5 µM in A549 cells. The compound was able to reduce colony formation and inhibit cell migration. Morphological changes and cytometry analysis show that the compound induces apoptosis and necrosis in A549 cells. CONCLUSIONS These results show that O-propargyllawsone show a cytotoxic effect and may induce apoptosis in A549 cells.

Abstract
Cancer is a disease of global importance. In order to mitigate conventional chemotherapy-related side effects, phytochemicals with inherent anticancer efficacy have been opted. However, the use of nanotechnology is essential to enhance the bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy of these phytochemicals. Herein, we have formulated folic acid conjugated polyacrylic acid capped mesoporous silica nanoparticles (∼47.6 nm in diameter) for pH-dependent targeted delivery of chrysin to breast cancer (MCF-7) cells. Chrysin loaded mesoporous silica nanoparticles (Chr- mSiO2@PAA/FA) have been noted to induce apoptosis in MCF-7 cells through oxidative insult and mitochondrial dysfunction with subsequent G1 arrest. Further, in tumor bearing mice, intravenous incorporation of Chr-mSiO2@PAA/FA has been noticed to enhance the anti-neoplastic effects of chrysin via tumor site-specific accumulation. Enhanced cytotoxicity of chrysin contributed towards in vivo tumor regression, restoration of normalized tissue architecture and maintenance of healthy body weight. Besides, no serious systemic toxicity was manifested in response to Chr-mSiO2@PAA/FA administration in vivo. Thus, the study evokes about the anticancer potentiality of chrysin and its increased therapeutic activity via incorporation into folic acid conjugated mesoporous silica nanoparticles, which may hold greater impact in field of future biomedical research.

Abstract
Here we have synthesized water soluble and biocompatible carbon dots (CDs) from taurine via thermal decomposition method. The CDs showed nearly spherical shape with diameter less than 10 nm. The CDs exhibited excitation dependent fluorescence emission and could be used for mammalian cell imaging. The CDs showed excellent DPPH and hydrogen peroxide radical scavenging activity in cell free system. Besides, the CDs also displayed significant intracellular radical scavenging activity in human normal kidney epithelial (NKE) cells. Furthermore, nanohybrids consisting of both CDs and nanoceria (CeO2) were prepared and tested for their biomedical applications. The nanohybrids showed significant antioxidant activities in both cell free and intracellular conditions. The CDs and nanohybrids possessed very little toxicity upto the concentration of 100 μg/mL when treated for 24 hours in human NKE cells. The CDs as well as nanohybrids further displayed significant bacterial growth inhibition against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria under dark as well as light illumination condition via the bacterial membrane damage. However, under the light illumination, the bacterial growth inhibition of CDs and nanohybrids was further enhanced due to the generation of reactive oxygen radicals and subsequent DNA degradation. A higher dose-dependent intracellular antioxidant and antibacterial activities of the nanohybrid is attributed to the synergistic effect of nanoceria and CDs. All these results clearly reflected that our synthesized CDs and their nanohybrids can be used for several biomedical applications.

Abstract
AIMS Synthesis of novel drug delivery system for targeted delivery of cuminaldehyde to breast cancer cells and the subsequent analyses of anti-neoplastic potential of the drug. MAIN METHODS 3-carboxy-phenyl boronic acid (PBA) conjugated and polyacrylic acid (PAA) gated mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) were synthesized for the targeted delivery of cuminaldehyde (CUM) to breast cancer cells. Enhancement of anti-neoplastic effects of cuminaldehyde (4-isopropylbenzaldehyde) by the nanoconjugates was assessed. KEY FINDINGS The anti-cancer effects of non-targeted and targeted drug-nanoconjugates were examined in vitro and in vivo. The targeted drug-nanoconjugates caused cell cycle arrest and induced the intrinsic pathway of apoptosis in MCF-7 cells through mitochondrial damage. In vivo intravenous injection of the targeted drug-nanoconjugates led to effective reduction in growth of 4 T1 induced mammary pad tumor in female BALB/c mice via augmented accumulation of cuminaldehyde. The drug-nanoconjugates did not exhibit any systemic toxicity. SIGNIFICANCE Therefore, MSN-PBA-CUM-PAA represents a potent therapeutic model for breast cancer treatment.

Abstract
For the first time the 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) catalyzed straightforward and efficient procedure has been developed for the synthesis of 3,3′-(arylmethylene) bis(2-hydroxynaphthalene-1,4-dione) derivatives starting from lawsone (2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone) and a variety of (hetero)aromatic aldehydes in ethanol under microwave irradiation. Three of nine synthesized compounds are new. This method provides notable advantages over existing procedures including use of non-traditional basic catalyst and environmentally benign solvent, mild reaction conditions, excellent yields, short reaction time and simple workup.

Abstract
Herein, we have evaluated the in vivo therapeutic efficacy and systemic toxicity profile of a synthetic anticancer compound [3,3'-((4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)methylene)bis(2-hydroxynaphthalene-1,4-dione)]. A multifunctional mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSN) based drug delivery network was also fabricated which specifically showed targeting nature towards the cancer cell. The mesopores of silica nanoparticles were tagged with phenyl boronic acid (PBA) for targeted drug delivery into tumor tissue. 1j was then loaded inside the nanocarriers followed by pore blocking with gold nanoparticles (GN) to attain a redox-responsive controlled drug delivery pattern. The synthesized nanocarriers (1j@-MSN-PBA-GN) having mean diameter of ~86 nm exhibited a moderate 1j loading content of 13.68% with overall negative surface charge. Both the targeted and non-targeted nanoformulations were tested for their anticancer activities both in vitro and in vivo models, and found more effective as compared with free 1j treatment. However, the targeted nanoformulations showed higher therapeutic effect due to increased cellular internalization and caused mitochondria-dependent apoptosis in MCF-7 cells via oxidative stress. Besides, the targeted nanoformulation significantly inhibited in the development of solid tumor in comparison to non-targeted nanoformulations and free 1j as a consequence of increased internalization of the drug-candidate in tumor tissue. Therefore, this study proposes that 1j can be considered as a potent anti-carcinogenic compound in vivo and its therapeutic potential is further increased by using PBA functionalized and GN gated MSN-based controlled drug delivery system without showing any significant systemic toxicity.

Abstract
Antibiotic resistance (AR) necessitates the discovery of new antimicrobials with alternative mechanisms of action to those employed by conventional antibiotics. One such strategy utilizes Ga3+ to target iron metabolism, a critical process for survival. Still, Ga-based therapies are generally ineffective against Gram-positive bacteria and promote Ga resistance. In response to these drawbacks, we report a lipophilic Ga complex, [Ga2L3(bpy)2] (L = 2,2'-bis(3-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone; bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine)), effective against drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (DRPA; minimum inhibitory concentration, MIC = 10 μM = 14.8 μg/mL) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA, MIC = 100 μM = 148 μg/mL) without iron-limited conditions. Importantly, [Ga2L3(bpy)2] shows noticeably delayed and decreased resistance in both MRSA and DRPA, with only 8× MIC in DRPA and none in MRSA after 30 passages. This is likely due to the dual mode of action afforded by Ga (disruption of iron metabolism) and the ligand (reactive oxygen species production). Overall, [Ga2L3(bpy)2] demonstrates the utility of lipophilic metal complexes with multiple modes of action in combatting AR in Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

Abstract
Mangiferin (MGF) is a polyphenolic C-glucosyl-xanthone extracted from the mango tree (Mangifera indica). MGF has shown diverse effects such as antioxidant, antiapoptotic, radical scavenging, and chelating properties. MGF also has been shown to modulate inflammatory pathways. In this review, we examined and evaluated the literature dealing with the protective effects of MGF against various chemical toxicities. Our literature review indicated that the MGF-induced protective effects against the toxic effects of pharmaceuticals, heavy metals and environmental chemicals were mainly mediated via suppression of lipid peroxidation, oxidative stress (along with enhancement of the antioxidant enzyme), inflammatory factors (TNF-α, IL-6, IL-10, and IL-12), and activation of PI3K/Akt and the MAPK survival signaling pathway.

Abstract
Background: In this era, worldwide interest has been directed towards using natural antioxidants to guard against drug side effects. Saussurea lappa is a famous medicinal plant with many biologically active compounds. Triamcinolone acetonide (TA) is an extensively used glucocorticoid. Hence, this study explored, for the first time, the possible beneficial effects of S. lappa ethanolic extract on TA-induced oxidative damage in the lung and spleen of rats. Methods: Five experimental groups were used: control group, S. lappa-treated group (600 mg/kg/day, orally), TA-treated group (40 mg/kg/twice/week I/P), S. lappa + TA co-treated group, and S. lappa/TA prophylactic group. Results: TA exposure significantly induced leukocytosis and neutrophilia. In addition, TA significantly reduced the levels of C-reactive protein, interleukin-12, tumor necrosis factor α, and immunoglobulins. Lung Caspase-3 overexpression and splenic CD8+ downregulation were also noted in the TA group. TA treatment significantly increased malondialdehyde concentration but reduced superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase activities. S. lappa counteracted the TA oxidative and apoptotic effects. The best results were recorded in the prophylactic group. Conclusions:S. lappa has a remarkable protective effect via its anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, and antioxidant capacity. Thus, it could be a candidate as a natural antioxidant to face glucocorticoid’s harmful side effects.

Abstract
1,4-Dihydropyridines (1,4-DHPs) are important as a class of heterocyclic compounds that exhibit wide range of biological actions. Many of its derivatives are already characterized as medicinally important drugs and used worldwide. In this study, we have screened some novel Hantzsch 1,4-DHP compounds using both in silico (QSAR and Pharmacophore) and in vitro (cytotoxic screening). 1,4-DHP showed selective cytotoxicity against five human cancerous cell lines; A375, A549, HeLa, HepG2 and SH-SY5Y but limited effect towards normal skin keratinocyte (HaCaT), lung fibroblast (WL-38) and healthy peripheral blood mononuclear cells. In A375 and HepG2 cells, one of the 1,4-DHP derivative (DHP-8) was found to inhibit cell proliferation, and simultaneously increased the apoptotic population as well as mitochondrial membrane depolarization. Furthermore, the mitochondrial signal was triggered with the activation of cleaved Caspase9, Caspase3 and PARP. The treatment with DHP-8 also increased the expression level of SIRT1, subsequently decreasing the level of pAKTser473 and survivin. Reduced pAKTser473 expression led to decrease the phosphorylated inactive form of GSK3βser9 and as a result, proteasomal degradation of Mcl-1 occurred in both the cell lines. Here, we suggest that the apoptotic effect of DHP-8 in A375 and HepG2 cells was mediated by AKT and survivin pathways through SIRT1 activation. The involvement of DHP-8 in SIRT1 activation was further verified by co-treatment of nicotinamide with DHP-8 in both A375 and HepG2 cells. Overall, this study emphasizes the possible potential and therapeutic role of DHP-8 in skin and liver cancer.

Abstract
Naturally occurring bioactive compounds are gaining much importance as anti-tumor agents in recent times due to their high therapeutic potential and less systemic toxicity. However, different preclinical and clinical studies have noted significant shortcomings, such as nonspecific tumor targeting and low bioavailability which limit their usage in therapeutics. Therefore, a safe and compatible nanoparticle mediated controlled drug delivery system is in high demand to enable effective transport of the drug candidates in the tumor tissue. Herein, we have synthesized phenylboronic acid (PBA) conjugated Zinc oxide nanoparticles (PBA-ZnO), loaded with quercetin (a bioflavonoid widely found in plants), with zeta potential around -10.2 mV and diameter below 40 nm. Presence of PBA moieties over the nanoparticle surface facilitates targeted delivery of quercetin to the sialic acid over-expressed cancer cells. Moreover, Quercetin loaded PBA-ZnO nanoparticles (denoted as PBA-ZnO-Q) showed pH responsive drug release behavior. Results suggested that PBA-ZnO-Q induced apoptotic cell death in human breast cancer cells (MCF-7) via enhanced oxidative stress and mitochondrial damage. In line with the in vitro results, PBA-ZnO-Q was found to be effective in reducing tumor growth in EAC tumor bearing mice. Most interestingly, PBA-ZnO-Q is found to reduce tumor associated toxicity in liver, kidney and spleen. The cytotoxic potential of the nanohybrid is attributed to the combinatorial cytotoxic effects of quercetin and ZnO in the cancer cells. Overall, the presented data highlighted the chemotherapeutic potential of the novel nanohybrid, PBA-ZnO-Q which can be considered for clinical cancer treatment.

Abstract
A neutral bidentate ligand 2-(3-methyl-5-phenyl pyrazol-1-yl) benzthiazole (L) has been synthesized by refluxing equimolar proportions of 2-hydrazino benzthiazole and benzoyl acetone in ethanol. The ligand acts in a NN donor fashion and forms stable mononuclear, MoOX3L [L = Ligand, X = Cl (1), Br (2)] and binuclear Mo2O4X2L2 [L = Ligand, X = Cl (3), Br (4)] complexes with molybdenum(V). The ligand and complexes are thoroughly characterized by elemental analyses, IR, UV-Vis spectroscopy, EPR study, magnetic susceptibility, thermogravimetry and cyclic voltammetry. Magnetic moment measurements reveal that the mononuclear complexes are paramagnetic while the binuclear complexes are diamagnetic in nature. EPR studies also confirm the presence of a mononuclear Mo(V) moiety in the complexes. Relevant Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations have been carried out to determine the structures of the synthesized compounds. The binding mode and mechanism of interaction of the synthesized compounds with bovine serum albumin (BSA) were studied by concentration dependent absorption and fluorescence titration experiments. The ligand and complexes 1-4 are screened for their potential in vitro anticancer activities against three different human cancer cell lines, namely, cervix adenocarcinoma epithelial cells (HeLa), renal carcinoma cells (SK-RC-45) and breast adenocarcinoma cells (MCF-7). The oxomolybdenum(V) complexes are found to exhibit higher anticancer potency towards the cancer cells than the free ligand. Also, structure activity relationship (SAR) studies of this new series of oxomolybdenum(V) complexes indicate that the anticancer activity is to some extent dependent on the electronic effects of the halogen atom coordinated to the molybdenum centre.

J Adv Res 2019; 18:161-172. [PMID: 31032117 PMCID: PMC6479012 DOI: 10.1016/j.jare.2019.02.036] [Citation(s) in RCA: 106] [Impact Index Per Article: 21.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2018] [Revised: 02/11/2019] [Accepted: 02/27/2019] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
A novel ZnO-PBA-Curcumin nanohybrid was synthesized. Targeted delivery was achieved in cancer cells through PBA functionalization. Loading curcumin onto nanoparticles increased its anticancer effects. The pH-dependent release of curcumin was obtained in cancer cells. ZnO-PBA-Curcumin nanohybrids exhibited significant anticancer activity without any systemic toxicity.
Nanoparticle-mediated targeted delivery of bioactive natural compounds has recently been gaining much interest for breast cancer therapy. Herein, phenyl boronic acid (PBA)-conjugated and pH-responsive ZnO nanoparticles (diameter ∼40 nm) were synthesized for the tumor tissue-specific delivery of curcumin. PBA conjugation facilitates the targeted delivery of curcumin to the sialic acid overexpressed in breast cancer cell membranes. Curcumin-loaded ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO-PBA-Curcumin) caused apoptotic cell death in MCF-7 human breast cancer cells by inducing oxidative stress and mitochondrial damage. Further, in vivo intravenous (i.v.) administration of ZnO-PBA-Curcumin was found to effectively decrease tumor growth in Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) tumor-bearing mice via the enhanced accumulation of curcumin. Interestingly, ZnO-PBA-Curcumin did not show any signs of systemic toxicity. The cytotoxic potential of the nanohybrid ZnO-PBA-Curcumin is attributed to the combinatorial cytotoxic effects of curcumin and ZnO in cancer cells. Collectively, ZnO-PBA-Curcumin may represent a potential treatment modality for breast cancer therapy. This study provides insight into the tumor cell targeting mechanism using PBA functionalization, and the anticancer efficacy of curcumin-loaded pH-sensitive nanohybrids can be attributed to the differential oxidative stress-inducing properties of curcumin and Zn+2 ions.

Abstract
In the present study, we report the microwave-induced synthesis of fluorescent zinc oxide nanorods (ZnO) and their usage as a cargo material to carry hydrophobic drug, quercetin. TEM and SEM showed the rod-shape morphology of our synthesized ZnO. XRD showed several diffraction peaks correspond to a hexagonal wurtzite structure. The optical and chemical natures of these nanorods were also confirmed from the UV-vis (showed a distinct absorption bands from 361 to 395 nm) and FTIR spectrum (showed absorption band specific to Zn-O stretching). The synthesized ZnO also showed fluorescence emission at around 550 nm when excited under UV irradiation. Quercetin was loaded onto ZnO surface via employing a metal ion-ligand coordination bond, (ZnO/QR), which exhibit pH-sensitive release behavior. ZnO/QR displayed superior drug loading content (42%) and loading efficiency (72.4%). in vitro assays showed that ZnO/QR exhibited higher anticancer, as well as antibacterial activities compared with free quercetin and ZnO. All these results highlight the synthesis of ZnO nanorods under microwave irradiation, which can be used as a plausible therapeutic option for bioimaging and drug delivery purpose.

Abstract
Small molecules that target microtubules (MTs) represent promising therapeutics to treat certain types of cancer, including glioblastoma multiform (GBM). We synthesized modified carbazoles and evaluated their antitumor activity in GBM cells in culture. Modified carbazoles with an ethyl moiety linked to the nitrogen of the carbazole and a carbonyl moiety linked to distinct biaromatic rings exhibited remarkably different killing activities in human GBM cell lines and patient-derived GBM cells, with IC50 values from 67 to >10,000 nM. Measures of the activity of modified carbazoles with tubulin and microtubules coupled to molecular docking studies show that these compounds bind to the colchicine site of tubulin in a unique low interaction space that inhibits tubulin assembly. The modified carbazoles reported here represent novel chemical tools to better understand how small molecules disrupt MT functions and kill devastating cancers such as GBM.

Abstract
Occurrence of oxidative stress is the principal cause of acute kidney injury induced by cisplatin. Mangiferin, a naturally occurring antioxidant molecule, is found to ameliorate several oxidative stress mediated pathophysiological conditions including cancer. Cisplatin induced cytotoxicity was measured in NKE cells by MTT assay and microscopic analysis. Induction of oxidative stress and regulation of proapoptotic molecules were subsequently investigated by using different spectrophotometric analyses, FACS and immunocytochemistry. Induction of nephrotoxicity was determined by analyzing different serum biomarkers and histological parameters in vivo using swiss albino mice. Activation of NF-κB mediated pro-inflammatory and caspase dependent signaling cascades were investigated by semi-quantitative RT-PCR and immunoblotting. Mangiferin was found to ameliorate cisplatin induced nephrotoxicity in vitro and in vivo by attenuating the induction of oxidative stress and upregulating Nrf-2 mediated pro-survival signaling cascades via the activation of PI3K. Additionally, mangiferin showed synergistic anticancer activity with cisplatin in cancer cell lines (MCF-7 and SKRC-45) and EAC cell induced solid tumor bearing experimental mice. The ameliorative effect of mangiferin is primarily attributed to its anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It acts differentially in normal tissue cells and tumor cells by modulating different cell survival regulatory signaling molecules. For the first time, the study reveals a mechanistic basis of mangiferin action against cisplatin induced nephrotoxicity. Since Mangiferin shows synergistic anticancer activity with cisplatin, it can be considered as a promising drug candidate, to be used in combination with cisplatin.

Melatonin attenuates arsenic induced nephropathy via the regulation of oxidative stress and inflammatory signaling cascades in mice. Food Chem Toxicol 2018; 118:303-316.

Abstract
Arsenic is a potent inducer of several acute and chronic nephrotoxic disorders. It promotes deleterious phenomenon like oxidative stress, inflammation, cell death and altered glucose uptake leading to distorted kidney homeostasis that end up in chronic kidney disease. This study investigated the possible protective role of melatonin; a natural antioxidant produced by the pineal gland, against arsenic induced nephrotoxicity. Melatonin successfully ameliorated arsenic induced renal toxicity both in in vitro and in vivo models. Elevated BUN, creatinine, urine glucose and protein levels and altered renal histopathological conditions were observed in arsenic intoxicated mice. Significant oxidative stress induced damage of biomolecules along with downregulation in antioxidant enzymes and thiols were also detected in the kidney tissues of arsenic-intoxicated mice. These alterations along with mitochondrial dysfunction ultimately triggered TNFα mediated inflammatory and cell death cascades. Interestingly arsenic also led to disruption of glucose uptake in the kidney. These findings suggest that melatonin protects the kidney against toxic effect of arsenic, presumably through its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antidiabetic properties by inhibiting inflammatory outburst, apoptosis, necroptosis and stimulating glucose uptake. As melatonin is a natural antioxidant molecule, detailed pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies are expected to establish it as an effective nephro-protective agent in future.
