Summary: Denticity of ligands plays a significant role in the cytotoxicity of metal complexes. This study evaluated the impact of ligand denticity in the Ru(II)-DMSO complexes on the cytotoxicity of cancer cells. Results showed that the complex with a tridentate chromone ligand exhibited better anticancer activity compared to the one with a bidentate chromene ligand. The stable nature of the tridentate system and the higher reactivity of the chloride ligand in the tridentate species were attributed to the observed differences in cytotoxicity. The complex demonstrated selective cytotoxicity against breast cancer cells and lower toxicity against normal cells, indicating its effective anticancer potential.

Summary: This study investigated the potential mechanisms of Herba Patriniae (HP) and its primary component Isovitexin against colorectal cancer (CRC) using network pharmacology analysis and in vitro and in vivo experiments. The study identified nine bioactive compounds of HP and predicted 3460 CRC-related targets. Ten hub genes, including CDK4, CDK2, CDK1, CCND1, CCNB1, CCNA2, MYC, E2F1, CHEK1, and CDKN1A, were identified as core target genes. The study also found that HP activated the p53 signaling pathway, promoting apoptosis and suppressing cell proliferation. This study provides valuable insights into the underlying mechanisms of HP and its component Isovitexin against CRC, supporting further experimental verification of their clinical application.

Summary: Laser absorption spectroscopy tomography is widely used to measure the two-dimensional distribution information in complex combustion flow fields. In this paper, a novel method is introduced with wavelength modulation spectroscopy (WMS) for obtaining the integrated absorption area (IA), which is applied in the reconstruction of temperature and species concentrations distributions of non-uniform complex combustion flames. This method eliminates the need for traditional time-consuming line-shape fitting process and instead obtains the IA through simple algebraic operations, significantly improving computational efficiency.

Summary: A versatile core-shell nanoparticle system was designed and synthesized for reactive oxygen-primed and autophagy inhibition-sensitized ferroptosis. The system caused the inactivation of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and reinforced intracellular oxidative stress through the generation of highly toxic reactive oxygen species. Additionally, the autophagy inhibitor loaded in the system enhanced the sensitivity of ferroptosis, while the CuS core triggered an excellent photothermal therapy effect. In vivo and in vitro experiments demonstrated the excellent anticancer effect of the system in a human breast cancer model, indicating the promising potential of the ferroptosis/photothermal dual-inductive strategy in combating malignant tumors.

Summary: A series of half-sandwich ruthenium complexes with quinoline derivative ligands were synthesized, exhibiting excellent antitumor toxicity and lysosome targeting. The damage to lysosomes promoted the release of cathepsin B and initiated downstream apoptotic signals. The increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) due to decreased mitochondrial membrane potential (Delta psi(m)) synergistically intensified lysosome damage. Moreover, the complex inhibited cell transfer and clone formation. In vivo experiments demonstrated outstanding biological effects, with minimal change in mouse body weight and significantly reduced tumor volume compared to the control group.
