Model illustrating the proposed mechanism by which chemotherapy‐induced downregulation of OGT disrupts SNAP29 O‐GlcNAcylation, promoting STX17‐SNAP29‐VAMP8 SNARE complex assembly and protective autophagy, leading to chemoresistance, which in turn establishes a feedforward loop to perpetuate drug tolerance.

Research progress in structural modification of Camptothecins
Camptothecin and its derivatives are alkaloids with broad-spectrum anti-tumor activities and have significant inhibitory effect on malignant tumors. Its derivatives such as irinotecan and topotecan have been on market over 20 years.

The antitumor drug topotecan (TPT) is a potent inhibitor of topoisomerase I, triggering DNA breaks lethal for proliferating cancer cells. The mechanism is common to camptothecins SN38 (the active metabolite of irinotecan) and belotecan (BLT).

PEGylated versus non-PEGylated magnetic nanoparticles as camptothecin delivery system
Camptothecin (CPT; (S)-(+)-4-ethyl-4-hydroxy-1H-pyrano[3',4':6,7]indolizino[1,2-b]quinoline-3,14-(4H,12H)-dione) is a highly cytotoxic natural alkaloid that has not yet found use as chemotherapeutic agent due to its poor water-solubility and chemical ...

Abstract Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), ranking as the third leading cause of cancer‐related mortality globally, continues to pose significant therapeutic challenges. Here, we developed an innovative nanosystem, Phl@PT, based on Pt‐TiO2 nanoparticles for the co‐delivery of Phlorezin, presenting a novel approach for HCC treatment through sonodynamic ...

Tackling cancer stemness with nanotechnology in the era of precision medicine
Precise customization of nanoparticles (NPs) enables active targeting of cancer stem cells (CSCs), thereby improving drug delivery and therapeutic efficacy. NP‐based probing enhances CSC detection through imaging and liquid biopsy, whereas diverse therapeutic payloads improve therapeutic outcomes.

Synthesis and Antitumor Activity of KFF Peptide-Drug Conjugates [PDF]
In this article, to potentiate the antitumor efficacy of KFF, we designed a KFF-based peptide– drug conjugate. A KFF-camptothecin conjugate (KF-1) was synthesized via solid-phase synthesis, and its antitumor activity and mechanism were evaluated in HeLa ...
