Summary: In this study, the radiomodulatory potential of caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) in prostate cancer cells was evaluated. CAPE was found to enhance the sensitivity of prostate cancer cells to radiation and induce apoptosis, while inhibiting cell migration. The combination treatment of CAPE and radiation increased DNA damage and cell death by inhibiting DNA repair proteins. Therefore, CAPE may be a potential adjuvant for the treatment of hormone-refractory radioresistant prostate cancer.

Summary: This in vitro study evaluated the antimicrobial effect of propolis extract caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) on four different oral microorganisms. The results showed that CAPE had the strongest inhibitory effect on Staphylococcus aureus and the weakest effect on Streptococcus mutans. S. salivarius and S. aureus were the most resistant bacteria to CAPE. These findings suggest that CAPE could be used as an adjunct dental hygiene substance and have potential therapeutic effects in oral health care.

Summary: The study found that caffeic acid and caffeic acid phenethyl ester form complexes with micellar casein through hydrophobic interactions, with higher thermal stability and DPPH radical scavenging capacity compared to free micellar casein or caffeic acid/caffeic acid phenethyl ester. These complexes do not induce the dissociation of casein micelles.

Summary: Caffeic acid and caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) are natural compounds that have shown promising effects against natural and chemical toxins. Their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic properties contribute to their protective effects. They can protect against a wide range of toxins, including mycotoxins, heavy metals, environmental toxins, pesticides, industrial chemicals, and pharmaceuticals. Their potential makes them candidates for developing novel therapies and functional foods.

Summary: Glycolysis and lipid metabolism play crucial roles in the growth and metastasis of tumor cells. In this study, caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) was found to inhibit proliferation, migration, invasion, and angiogenesis of breast cancer cells by modulating inflammatory mediators and inhibiting key proteins and enzymes in glycolysis and lipid metabolism.

Summary: We report the preparation of redox-responsive functional micellar nanocarriers for triggered release of CAPE in cancer therapy. The three-layered micelles, composed of PCL core, PAA/PEO middle layer, and PEO outer corona, were assembled by two amphiphilic triblock copolymers. The loaded micelles were crosslinked to enhance structural stability and prevent premature release of CAPE. However, under weak acidic conditions and in the presence of reducing agent, the payload was rapidly released due to the breakup of disulfide linkages. The developed CPMs showed potential for controlled drug release in the tumor microenvironment.

Summary: Neurodegenerative disorders involve the progressive degeneration and death of neurons, and oxidative stress and neuroinflammation play crucial roles in their progression. Two major pathways, Nrf2 and NF-kappa B, have been identified as potential therapeutic targets due to their involvement in oxidative protection and the promotion of cytokine expression, respectively. Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE), a compound found in propolis, has shown neuroprotective activity by modulating these pathways. This review summarizes the biosynthesis and chemical synthesis of CAPE derivatives and discusses their neuroprotective activity in both in vitro and in vivo studies conducted from 2010 to 2023.

Summary: Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women, and radiation therapy is the main treatment method. However, radiation resistance of tumor cells can affect the efficacy of treatment and lead to recurrence and mortality. Non-coding RNA (ncRNAs) play an important role in the response of breast cancer to radiation, influencing the radiosensitivity of breast cancer cells through the regulation of various mechanisms.
