Novel 2-amino-isoflavones exhibit aryl hydrocarbon receptor agonist or antagonist activity in a species/cell-specific context [PDF]
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) mediates the induction of a variety of xenobiotic metabolism genes. Activation of the AhR occurs through binding to a group of structurally diverse compounds, most notably dioxins, which are exogenous ligands ...

An efficient free radical‐mediated photocyclization for triphenylphosphindole oxide derivatives to generate tribenzophosphindole oxide derivative is reported. Interestingly, this photo‐conversion can efficiently occur in living cells to activate photodynamic therapy and trigger fluorescence “light up” in lipid droplet area under continuous irradiation.

This article presents the results of structure searches carried out starting from 58 carbon‐13 NMR data sets recorded on pure organic natural products selected in the Biological Magnetic Resonance Bank (BMRB). Two structural dereplication methods were employed. They proved to be efficient and can be used together in a complementary way.

Small-Molecule Targeting of RNA Polymerase I Activates a Conserved Transcription Elongation Checkpoint [PDF]
Summary Inhibition of RNA polymerase I (Pol I) is a promising strategy for modern cancer therapy. BMH-21 is a first-in-class small molecule that inhibits Pol I transcription and induces degradation of the enzyme, but how this exceptional response is ...

Two preclinical tests to evaluate anticancer activity and to help validate drug candidates for clinical trials. [PDF]
Current approaches to assessing preclinical anticancer activity do not reliably predict drug efficacy in cancer patients. Most of the compounds that show remarkable anticancer effects in preclinical models actually fail when tested in clinical trials. We
