Summary: The study found that the molecular weight of hyaluronic acid plays a significant role in the uptake and selectivity of nanoparticles in CD44-overexpressing breast carcinoma cells. Specifically, HA 800 kDa nanoparticles exhibited the highest uptake response, while HA 1400 kDa nanoparticles showed the lowest uptake. The interaction between nanoparticles and tumor cells is influenced by the rearrangement and conformation of the HA chain segment protruding from the nanoparticles.

Summary: This article investigates the potential of chitosan nanoparticles loaded with gallic acid (GA) for the treatment of psoriasis. The study found that coating the nanoparticles with hyaluronic acid (HA) slightly increased the particle size but enhanced their inhibitory effect on cells. In vivo experiments demonstrated the potential of HA-modified nanoparticles in restricting psoriasis. Further research should explore the application of HA-modified nanoparticles in the treatment of other skin-related conditions.

Summary: Cluster of differentiation 44 (CD44) is a cell surface glycoprotein overexpressed in various solid tumors. It plays a significant role in cell proliferation, cell-to-cell interaction, cellular migration, inflammation, and immune responses. Nanocarriers have been developed to target the CD44 receptor and improve the efficacy of chemotherapy. Hyaluronic acid (HA) also plays a crucial role in cancer therapy and interacts with CD44, providing a potential approach for targeted therapy.

Summary: A novel nano-drug delivery system, HA-MA-MTX, was developed in this study to enhance the accumulation of MTX in tumors and minimize toxicity to normal tissues. The system combines MTX as a tumor-targeting ligand, HA as another tumor-targeting ligand, and MA as an anti-inflammatory agent. In vitro experiments showed that HA-MA-MTX nanoparticles effectively inhibited K7 cancer cells while exhibiting lower toxicity to normal MC3T3-E1 cells compared to MTX.

Summary: This study presents an unprecedented Au(I)-catalyzed strategy for intramolecular carbonyl-alkyne cyclization/indole addition. It allows for the synthesis of unsymmetrical bis(indolyl)methanes incorporating 3(2H)-furanone and the generation of a stereocenter at the furanone junction using easily accessible indole-tethered ynediones. Moreover, this protocol can be extended to synthesize a variety of indolyl-(hetero)arylmethanes by utilizing different (hetero)arenes as nucleophile coupling partners.

Summary: A general electrophilic iodocyclization/nucleophile addition cascade transformation for 1,2-alkynediones was reported, enabling the synthesis of various oxygen heterocycles and regioselective alkyne hydroxylation. Furan-tethered ynediones led to the construction of exo-enol ethers via carbonyl-alkyne cyclization-initiated heteroarene dearomatization, whereas other (hetero)arene-, alkenyl-, and alkyl-tethered ynediones resulted in the formation of highly functionalized 3(2H)-furanones. The developed domino protocols allow for the construction of important heterocyclic scaffolds and the installation of two functional groups in a single operation, with water as a nucleophile enabling regioselective alkyne hydroxylation via furanone ring opening.

Summary: Continuing our research on sildenafil analogs as inhibitors of PDE5 for erectile dysfunction, we found that modifications at the N-methylpiperazine ring with hydrophobic region followed by hydrogen bond donor or acceptor region have potential. However, previously identified leads had limitations such as poor pharmacokinetic profile, low aqueous solubility, and poor bioavailability. Therefore, we designed, synthesized, and screened a new series of sildenafil based analogs. Compound 18 showed excellent in vitro activity with selectivity towards PDE5 isozyme, as well as excellent in vivo activity and pharmacokinetic profile. The compound also exhibited excellent cyp inhibition and CaCO2 permeability.

Summary: The present study investigated the potential of ellagic acid as an adjuvant therapy for managing sickle cell disease (SCD) symptoms. The results showed that ellagic acid exhibited numerous beneficial pharmacological actions, including anti-sickling, polymerization inhibition, and improvement of key hematological parameters. It also showed a protective effect against toxicological manifestations of the key drug hydroxyurea (HU) used for SCD treatment. Therefore, ellagic acid holds promise as a candidate for adjuvant therapy in SCD.

Summary: Our previous work demonstrated that beta-lactoglobulin-stabilized amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) loaded with 70 % indomethacin remains stable for over 12 months. We further investigated the stabilization mechanisms by testing five other drug molecules and using experimental techniques and molecular dynamics simulations. The results showed that steric confinement, hydrogen bonding, and the glass transition temperature of the drug molecule play important roles in stabilizing ASDs with high drug loadings.

Summary: The binding of drugs to plasma proteins, such as human serum albumin (HSA), is crucial for determining pharmacokinetic parameters. This study investigated the enantioselective binding of S- and R-ketamine to HSA. It was found that ketamine has weak affinity to HSA, with no significant differences in binding behavior between the individual enantiomers and the racemate. The aromatic ring and N-methyl group were identified as the most strongly involved structural moieties in the binding of ketamine to HSA.

Summary: Interleukins (ILs) are important for communication between immune cells and non-immune cells, but dysregulation of ILs expression is a characteristic of autoinflammatory diseases. Drugs targeting ILs have significant clinical benefits, but may also cause adverse reactions. Fusion protein technology, with its ability to enhance therapeutic efficacy, has been explored for developing anti-inflammatory drugs. This review discusses the efficacy of fusion protein drugs developed with ILs or their receptors in treating autoinflammatory diseases, highlighting the potential of this technology in future anti-inflammatory drug development.

Summary: This study investigated the correlation between the structure and release properties of solid lipid microparticles (MPs) with different liquid additives. The additives accelerated the conversion of the unstable alpha-form of tristearin to the stable beta-polymorph and caused structural modifications in the MPs. The presence of additives prolonged the drug release in water and resulted in higher release profiles in biorelevant media. The findings suggest that the release behavior can be influenced by the polymorphism and supramolecular-level structural modification of lipid formulations containing crystal modifiers.
