Accurate and noninvasive prostate cancer detection using plasma‐derived extracellular vesicle RNA

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Plasma extracellular vesicles were captured with WGA‐conjugated magnetic beads and profiled for RNA biomarkers. A three‐RNA panel (NM_024955, NR_047469, and NR_002564) distinguished prostate cancer from healthy controls and benign prostatic hyperplasia, supporting a simple, noninvasive approach to improve prostate cancer detection.

Recent progress in stimuli‐activable metallo‐prodrugs for cancer therapy

open access: yesSmart Molecules
The clinical approval of platinum‐based drugs has prompted the development of novel metallo‐complexes during the last several decades, while severe problems, especially for poor water solubility, drug resistance and toxicity in patients, greatly hindered

Dermal and transdermal delivery: prodrugs

open access: yes, 2011
Attempts to deliver drugs into and through the skin (dermal and transdermal delivery) have not been very successful because the physicochemical properties of drugs are often not optimal.

Artificial Intelligence‐Guided Phenotypic Drug Repurposing Against Streptococcus pneumoniae

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Integrated artificial intelligence (AI) ensembles identify highly potent repurposed drugs against Streptococcus pneumoniae. Prospective virtual screening of 6747 drugs uncovers nine active candidates, including thiostrepton. This drug exhibits low picomolar potency and bypasses established resistance in multidrug‐resistant strains, demonstrating an ...

Carbamate group as structural motif in drugs: a review of carbamate derivatives used as therapeutic agents

open access: yesArhiv za Higijenu Rada i Toksikologiju, 2020
Due to their very good chemical and proteolytic stability, ability to penetrate cell membranes, and resemblance to a peptide bond, carbamate derivatives have received much attention in recent years and got an important role in modern drug discovery and ...

Arenes as prodrugs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Nowadays, improvement of physicochemical, biopharmaceutical and pharmacokinetic properties of pharmacologically active compounds is connected with development of prodrugs. Prodrugs are defined as pharmaceutical compounds inactive in their parent form and

Self-assembling prodrugs

open access: yes, 2017
Covalent modification of therapeutic compounds is a clinically proven strategy to devise prodrugs with enhanced treatment efficacies. Self-assembly of prodrugs expands the functional space of conventional prodrug design, providing a possible pathway to ...

Overcoming Drug Resistance by Paclitaxel Resistance in Triple‐Negative Breast Cancer

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
In the murine triple‐negative breast cancer (TNBC) model, chemotherapy effectively increases tumor neoantigen burden (TNB). Here, the study constructs a liposomal nanovaccine using antigens derived from in vitro chemotherapy‐treated paclitaxel‐resistant TNBC 4T1 cells.

Optimizing the Pharmacological Properties of Discoidal Polymeric Nanoconstructs Against Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Cells

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020
Fine-tuning loading and release of therapeutic and imaging agents associated with polymeric matrices is a fundamental step in the preclinical development of novel nanomedicines. Here, 1,000 × 400 nm Discoidal Polymeric Nanoconstructs (DPNs) were realized
