Abstract
A set of nine derivatives, including five brominated compounds, was synthesized and the structures of these novel compounds were confirmed using 1H and 13C NMR as well as ESI MS spectra. These compounds were tested on four different cancer cell lines, chronic myelogenous leukemia (K562), prostate cancer (PC3), colon cancer (SW620), human kidney cancer (Caki 1), and on healthy human keratocytes (HaCaT). MTT results reveal that two newly developed derivatives (6 and 8) exhibit selective action towards K562 cells and no toxic effect in HaCat cells. The biological activity of these two most promising compounds was evaluated by trypan blue assay, reactive oxygen species generation, and IL-6 secretion. To investigate the proapoptotic activity of selected compounds, the two following types of tests were performed: Annexin V Apoptosis Detection Kit I and Caspase-Glo 3/7 assay. The studies of the mechanism showed that both compounds have pro-oxidative effects and increase reactive oxygen species in cancer cells, especially at 12 h incubation. Through the Caspase-Glo 3/7 assay, the proapoptotic properties of both compounds were confirmed. The Annexin V-FITC test revealed that compounds 6 and 8 induce apoptosis in K562 cells. Both compounds inhibit the release of proinflammatory interleukin 6 (IL-6) in K562 cells. Additionally, all compounds were screened for their antibacterial activities using standard and clinical strains. Within the studied group, compound 7 showed moderate activity towards Gram-positive strains in antimicrobial studies, with MIC values ranging from 16 to 64 µg/mL.

Abstract
Metabolic illnesses, including obesity and type 2 diabetes, have become worldwide epidemics that have an effect on public health. Clinical investigations and further exploration of these mechanisms could lead to innovative, effective, and personalized treatment strategies for individuals. It is important to screen biomarkers in previous studies to discover what is missing. Glucagon-like peptide-1's role in insulin secretion and glucose control highlights its diagnostic and therapeutic potential. Glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide's influence on postprandial satiety and weight management signifies its importance in understanding metabolic processes. Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1's involvement in inflammation and insulin resistance underlines its value as a diagnostic marker. Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-7's association with insulin sensitivity and kidney function presents it as a potential target for these diseases' management. In validating these biomarkers, it will be easier to reflect pathophysiological processes, and clinicians will be able to better assess disease severity, monitor disease progression, and tailor treatment strategies. The purpose of the study was to elucidate the significance of identifying novel biomarkers for type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity, which can revolutionize early detection, risk assessment, and personalized treatment strategies. Standard literature searches of PubMed (MEDLINE), EMBASE, and Cochrane Library were conducted in the year 2023 to identify both original RCTs and recent systematic reviews that have explored the importance of identifying novel biomarkers for T2D and obesity. This search produced 1964 results, and then was reduced to randomized controlled trial and systematic reviews, producing 145 results and 44 results, respectively. Researchers have discovered potential associations between type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity and the biomarkers glucagon-like peptide-1, glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, and insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-7. Understanding the role of those biomarkers in disease pathogenesis offers hope for improving diagnostics, personalized treatment, and prevention strategies.

Abstract
Selol, an organic selenitetrigliceride formulation containing selenium at +4 oxidation level, has been suggested as anticancer drug. One of the causes of several diseases including cancer may be inflammation. This study aimed at determining the activity of Selol via measuring its effect on reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) activation, intercellular cell adhesion molecules-1 (ICAM-1), vascular cell adhesive molecule-1 (VCAM-1), and plateled-endothelial cell adhesive molecule-1 (PECAM-1) levels on control and on tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)-stimulated human microvascular endothelial cells (HMEC-1). Cells were treated either with Selol 5% (4 or 8 μgSe/mL) or TNF-α (10 ng/mL) alone or with Selol concomitant with TNF-α. Selol treatment resulted in ROS generation, activation of NF-κB, downregulation of PECAM-1, VCAM-1 and slight upregulation ICAM-1 expression on the cell surface. TNF-α treatment reflected in sharp NF-κB activation, upregulation of both ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 in parallel with the downregulation of PECAM-1 expression on cell surface. Exposure to both compounds upregulated ICAM-1 and VCAM-1, downregulated PECAM-1 level on cell surface in parallel with no changes in level of NF-κB activation as compared with effects mediated by TNF-α alone. These results points to new look at Selol action since it shows a pro-inflammatory activity in parallel with effects on CAMs expression on the cell surface of human microvascular endothelial cells. However, since Selol enhances CAMs expression level when is present concomitantly with TNF-α this fact might suggest that selenium present in the condition of inflammation will make it worse.

Abstract
Thiram (TMTD) is a fungicidal and bactericidal agent used as antiseptic, seed disinfectant and animal repellent. In the light of known properties, thiram is considered to be used as an inhibitor of angiogenesis and/or inflammation. Since angiogenesis requires the growth of vascular endothelial cells we have used microvascular endothelial cell line HMEC-1 to elucidate the effect of thiram on normal and stimulated cells. We cultured HMEC-1 cells in the presence of thiram at low concentration (0.5 µg/mL or 2 µg/mL) (0.2 µM or 0.8 µM) or TNF-α (10 ng/mL) alone, and thiram together with TNF-α. TNF-α was used as a cytokine that triggers changes characteristic for inflammatory state of the cell. We carried out an in vitro study aimed at assessing generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), activation of NF-κB, and expression of cell adhesion molecules ICAM-1, VCAM-1, PECAM-1. It was found that TMTD produced ROS and activated NF-κB. Activation of NF-κB was concurrent with an increase in ICAM-1 expression on the surface of HMEC-1 cells. ICAM-1 reflects intensity of inflammation in endothelial cell milieu. The expression of VCAM-1 and PECAM-1 on these cells was not changed by thiram. It was also found that stimulation of the HMEC-1 cells with the pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-α caused activation of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 expression with concomitant decrease of PECAM-1 cell surface expression above the control levels. Treatment with thiram and TNF-α changed cellular response compared with effects observed after treatment with TNF-α alone, i.e. further increase of ICAM-1 expression and impairment of the TNF-α effect on PECAM-1 and VCAM-1 expression. This study demonstrated that thiram acts as a pro-oxidant, and elicits in endothelial cell environment effects characteristic for inflammation. However, when it is present concurrently with pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-α interferes with its action.

Abstract
Sodium diethyldithiocarbamate (DETC) is the main metabolite of disulfiram. Recently, we reported that mechanism of disulfiram cytotoxicity in V79 cells might be partially connected with thiol redox-state imbalance. Here, we examined the effect of DETC on the level of intracellular glutathione (GSH), protein oxidation (measured as PC—protein carbonyl content), lipid peroxidation (measured as TBARS—thiobarbituric acid reactive substances), antioxidant enzymatic defense, as well as on apoptosis. We used V79 Chinese hamster fibroblasts cells with and without modulated glutathione (GSH) level by N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC). We showed that treatment with DETC at concentrations that cause a moderate increase in thiol-state imbalance but not cell death stimulates oxidative stress measured as increased level of PC and TBARS, adaptive response of GSH-related enzymes and apoptosis. Our results show that cellular effects of DETC are partially attributable to the initial redox cellular state, since the increase of GSH level by NAC pre-treatment prevented the observed changes.

Abstract
Pesticides are used to protect plants and numerous plant products. They are also utilized in several industrial branches. These compounds are highly toxic to living organisms. In spite of close supervision in the use of pesticides there is a serious risk that these agents are able to spread into the environment and contaminate water, soil, food, and feedstuffs. Recently, more and more studies have been focused on understanding the toxic mechanisms of pesticide actions. The data indicate that the toxic action of pesticides may include the induction of oxidative stress and accumulation of free radicals in the cell. Long-lasting or acute oxidative stress disturbs cell metabolism and is able to produce permanent changes in the structure of proteins, lipids, and DNA. The proteins that are oxidized may lose or enhance their activity. Moreover, the proteins oxidized are able to form aggregates that inhibit the systems responsible for protein degradation and lead to alterations of proteins in the cell. Once oxidized, lipids have the capacity to damage and depolarize cytoplasmic membranes. Free oxygen radicals are harmful to DNA including damage to single nitric bases, DNA strand breaks and adduct production. Many studies indicate that oxidative stress may accelerate development of numerous diseases including cancer and neurodegenerative ones such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease and may also be responsible for infertility.

Abstract
This work investigated the effect of N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) on disulfiram (DSF) induced oxidative stress in Chinese hamster fibroblast cells (V79). An increase in oxidative stress induced by DSF was observed up to a 200 μM concentration. It was evidenced by a statistically significant increase of both GSH(t) and GSSG levels, as well as elevated protein carbonyl (PC) content. There was no increase in lipid peroxidation (measured as TBARS). DSF increased CAT activity, but did not change SOD1 and SOD2 activities. Analysis of GSH related enzymes showed that DSF significantly increased GR activity, did not change Se-dependent GPx, but statistically significantly decreased non-Se-dependent GPx activity. DSF showed also pro-apoptotic activity. NAC alone did not produce any significant changes, besides an increase of GSH(t) level, in any of the variables measured. However, pre-treatment of cells with NAC ameliorated DSF-induced changes. NAC pre-treatment restored the viability of DSF-treated cells evaluated by Trypan blue exclusion assay and MTT test, GSSG level, and protein carbonyl content to the control values as well as it reduced pro-apoptotic activity of DSF. The increase of CAT and GR activity was not reversed. Activity of both GPx was significantly increased compared to their values after DSF treatment. In conclusion, oxidative properties are at least partially attributable to the cellular effects of disulfiram and mechanisms induced by NAC pre-treatment may lower or even abolish the observed effects. These observations illustrate the importance of the initial cellular redox state in terms of cell response to disulfiram exposure.
