Pioneering the Photoactive Relevance of Quinazolinone-Fullereropyrrolidine Nanohybrids To Address Chemotherapeutic Resistance in Cancer. ACS Med Chem Lett 2024; 15:1118-1126. [PMID: 39015282 PMCID: PMC11247657 DOI: 10.1021/acsmedchemlett.4c00187] [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: 05/06/2024] [Revised: 06/16/2024] [Accepted: 06/20/2024] [Indexed: 07/18/2024] Open
Abstract
This study investigates the impact of C70 and C60 fullerenes on quinazolinone, specifically in quinazolinone-fulleropyrrolidine nanohybrids. The nanohybrids Q 3 C 70 M and Q 3 C 60 M exhibit distinct spectral shifts and have significant photobiological antineoplastic properties. Q 3 C 60 M enhances apoptosis, while Q 3 C 70 M reduces Cyclin A levels and counteracts oncogenic effects by promoting cell differentiation. Q 3 C 70 M demonstrates heightened cytotoxicity by overcoming chemotherapy resistance by modulating BAX and BCL-2 levels. This innovative approach, distinguishing between C70 and C60, represents a novel contribution to the existing scientific literature.

Zha Y, Jin Y, Wang X, Chen L, Zhang X, Wang M. Long-term maintenance of synaptic plasticity by Fullerenol Ameliorates lead-induced-impaired learning and memory in vivo. J Nanobiotechnology 2022; 20:348. [PMID: 35909130 PMCID: PMC9341061 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-022-01550-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2022] [Accepted: 07/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Fullerenol, a functional and water-soluble fullerene derivative, plays an important role in antioxidant, antitumor and antivirus, implying its enormous potential in biomedical applications. However, the in vivo performance of fullerenol remains largely unclear. We aimed to investigate the effect of fullerenol (i.p., 5 mg/kg) on the impaired hippocampus in a rat model of lead exposure. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) is a kind of newly developed soft-ionization mass spectrometry technology. In the present study, an innovative strategy for biological distribution analysis using MALDI-TOF-MS confirmed that fullerenol could across the blood-brain barrier and accumulate in the brain. Results from behavioral tests showed that a low dose of fullerenol could improve the impaired learning and memory induced by lead. Furthermore, electrophysiology examinations indicated that this potential repair effect of fullerenol was mainly due to the long-term changes in hippocampal synaptic plasticity, with enhancement lasting for more than 2-3 h. In addition, morphological observations and biochemistry analyses manifested that the long-term change in synaptic efficacy was accompanied by some structural alteration in synaptic connection. Our study demonstrates the therapeutic feature of fullerenol will be beneficial to the discovery and development as a new drug and lays a solid foundation for further biomedical applications of nanomedicines.
