Photoactivated Platinum Complexes: Targeting Membrane Proteins and Organelles for Precision Cancer Therapy

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
This review highlights an emerging anticancer approach integrating platinum agents into photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photoactivated chemotherapy (PACT) systems, further augmented by cancer cell membrane‐ and organelle‐targeting. By directing photoactivated platinum complexes from nontargeted distribution to cancer cells or defined subcellular sites ...

Adapting the plant defense systems’ toolbox of Michael acceptors to electrophilic drug development [PDF]

open access: yesExploration of Drug Science
Plant metabolites are an invaluable source of bioactive molecules, and a high percentage of them can react covalently with their targets. Lipid-derived α,β-unsaturated systems (Michael acceptors), which are present in all plants, regulate signaling ...

Carrier‐Free Stimulus‐Responsive Theranostic Nanoprodrug Enabling GSH‐Consumption‐Promoted Chemo‐Photodynamic Cancer Therapy

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Leveraging the critical role of glutathione (GSH) in mediating drug resistance and scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cancer cells, a carrier‐free GSH‐consuming theranostic nanoprodrug, consisting of a BODIPY photosensitizer and the chemotherapeutic drug paclitaxel linked through a GSH‐consuming drug linker, is developed to deeply explore the ...

ALDH Inhibition‐Primed Photocatalysis Disrupts Cancer Stemness Plasticity

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
DE‐Et converts ALDH‐mediated redox buffering into a photoredox vulnerability by coupling ALDH inhibition with red‐light‐driven catalytic NADH oxidation. This enzyme‐coupled photoredox strategy sustains mitochondrial NADH/NAD+ imbalance, induces pyroptotic tumor cell death, suppresses tumor growth in vivo, and promotes systemic antitumor immunity ...

Radiation‐Triggered Chemokine‐Secreting Probiotics for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy Based Radioimmunotherapy

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Engineered Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 with a tannic acid‐mediated BPA coating enables tumor‐targeted boron delivery for BNCT. The low‐level incidental radiation generated during BNCT activate a RecA‐driven circuit to induce CXCL10, while radiation‐enhanced bacterial colonization triggers in situ vaccination and systemic antitumor immunity.

Coarse‐Grained Simulations Rationalize Thermosensitivity and Hydrolytic Degradation of Vinyl Copolymers Obtained by Radical Ring‐Opening Polymerization

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Coarse‐grained (CG) molecular dynamics simulations were used to predict the upper critical solution temperature of copolymers obtained by radical ring‐opening copolymerization of cyclic ketene acetals and vinyl monomers, and to account for their unique degradation kinetics under physiological conditions by evaluating the solvation of their ester groups.

Ultrasound‐Activated Nanoinhibitors Blocking the Chemo‐Immune Checkpoint to Overcome Chemotherapy‐Induced Immune Resistance

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A sono‐responsive chemo‐immune checkpoint nanoinhibitor (Sono‐TT8) co‐delivering TPZ chemotherapy and siXkr8 simultaneously kills tumor cells and blocks PS externalization, reversing chemotherapy‐induced immunosuppression and enhancing antitumor immunity. ABSTRACT Breast cancer features an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment following chemotherapy

Theranostic Potential of an NAD(P)H‐Activatable Fluorophore: Assessing Cancer Aggressiveness and Triggering Apoptosis

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
DE‐CQ, an NAD(P)H‐activatable theranostic probe, enables the quantification of cancer aggressiveness via glucose‐stimulated fluorescence imaging and selectively induces apoptosis. Its multifaceted efficacy is demonstrated across 2D cells, 3D spheroids, and in vivo models.

Advanced Prodrug Strategies in Nucleoside and Non-Nucleoside Antiviral Agents: A Review of the Recent Five Years

open access: yesMolecules, 2017
Background: Poor pharmacokinetic profiles and resistance are the main two drawbacks from which currently used antiviral agents suffer, thus make them excellent targets for research, especially in the presence of viral pandemics such as HIV and hepatitis ...
