DPP-4 inhibitor anagliptin protects against hypoxia-induced cytotoxicity in cardiac H9C2 cells

Artificial Cells, Nanomedicine, and Biotechnology, 2019
Cardiovascular complications are the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in type 2 diabetes patients. Diabetes greatly increases the risk of heart disease; therefore, the management of diabetes often involves the prevention of heart disease.

Comprehensive Peptide Profiling Reveals the Influence of Streptococcus Thermophilus, Lactobacillus Delbrueckii Subsp. bulgaricus, and Endogenous Milk Proteases on the Hydrolysis of Milk Proteins During Early‐Stage Lactic Acid Fermentation

ChemFoodChem, EarlyView.
Untargeted peptide profiling investigates how S. thermophilus, Lb. bulgaricus, and endogenous milk enzymes impact proteolysis during early‐stage milk fermentation. ≥ 3000 identified peptides show the strongest influence of LB on the peptide profile and number of bioactive peptides. Shorter peptides are mostly formed by LB and hydrolyzed by ST.

Membrane‐Permeable Nucleoside T‐1106 Diphosphate and Triphosphate Analogues as Antiviral Pronucleotides

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Favipiravir (T‐705) and the non‐fluorinated counterpart (T‐1106) are antiviral agents that inhibit the RNA‐dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) of various RNA viruses. The antiviral efficacy of nucleoside analogues is strongly dependent on their intracellular activation by cellular kinases to produce their corresponding triphosphate metabolites (T‐705‐RTP ...

Extracellularly Activatable Conjugates of RGD Peptidomimetics and Cryptophycin for αVβ3‐Targeted Cancer Therapy

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Integrin αVβ3‐targeting small‐molecule drug conjugates (SMDCs) were synthesized by conjugating a cryptophycin payload through a neutrophil elastase‐cleavable NPV‐PABC linker. RGD peptidomimetic and linker epimers served as controls for targeting and enzymatic cleavage, and the resulting conjugates displayed subnanomolar cytotoxicity in vitro.

Characterization of Lysosomal Hydrolases and Transporters and Their Age‐Dependent Variability: Relevance to Drug Metabolism and Transport of Small Molecule and Biologic Drugs

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Lysosomes play a key role in the accumulation, catabolism, and transport of endogenous and exogenous metabolites and proteins and are involved in drug metabolism and prodrug activation. However, the protein abundance and interindividual variability of lysosomal drug‐metabolizing enzymes and transporters (DMETs) remain underexplored.

Photodynamic Biomimetic Nanoparticles Accelerate Tumor Vascular Normalization Initiation

Exploration, EarlyView.
Platelet‐mimetic IA@PM integrates apatinib‐driven vascular normalization with ICG‐mediated photodynamic therapy, creating a self‐amplifying vascular normalization therapy (VNT)–photodynamic therapy (PDT) cycle that accelerates the onset of the vascular normalization window and potentiates antitumor treatment.

Zero‐Valent Ruthenium‐Anchored Nanozymes Remodel Tumor Microenvironment for Malignant Tumor Treatment in Combination With αPD‐L1 Immunotherapy

Exploration, EarlyView.
The tumor microenvironment featuring abundant hydrogen peroxide, high glutathione, and hypoxia brings huge obstacles to tumor treatment. In this study, zero‐valent metal‐doped nanozymes (FeRu) can simultaneously regulate these three factors due to the optimized electron transfer and hollow structure: breaking the redox balance of tumor cells ...
