Summary: We studied the expression of serotonin receptors 5-HT1A, 5-HT2A, and 5-HT3A at different stages of fetal lung development. The receptors were strongly expressed in the epithelium of the proximal airways and vascular walls during early and mid-fetal development. In the later stages, they were also expressed in type I and type II pneumocytes. The expression of 5-HT2A decreased while 5-HT3A expression increased toward the final stage of lung development.

Summary: Serotonin controls human cardiac contractile function solely through 5-HT4-receptors, leading to positive inotropic and chronotropic effects, as well as arrhythmias. This review focuses on the potential effects of 5-HT4-receptors in sepsis, ischemia, and reperfusion. The formation and inactivation of serotonin in the heart, as well as its role in cardiovascular diseases, are discussed. Mechanisms of cardiac signal transduction through 5-HT4-receptors and potential roles in cardiac diseases are addressed, along with future research directions and potential animal models. The potential clinical utility of 5-HT4-receptor agonists or antagonists is also discussed, considering the extensive studies on serotonin over the years.

Summary: This article reviews the neurobiological links between aggression, depression, and suicidal behavior, focusing on the involvement of different types of 5-HT receptors. It provides evidence that specific 5-HT receptors are associated with depression-related and aggression-related behaviors, and highlights the potential of targeting these receptors for treatment.

Summary: Derivatives of (N)-Methanocarba adenosine were modified to target 5-HT2B serotonin receptors as antagonists, showing affinity enhancement with the bicyclic ring system. Compound 43 (MRS7925) exhibited potential for anti-fibrotic therapy due to its affinity and moderate 5-HT2BR binding selectivity. The compounds also demonstrated dual action as 5-HT2B antagonists and A(1)AR agonists.

Summary: This study proposes a novel nanoplatform based on the autophagy cascade to overcome the obstacles in chemo-immunotherapy. The platform combines chemotherapy and starvation therapy to initiate pro-death autophagy and enhance antigen presentation, while also remodeling the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Furthermore, the study discovers a new therapeutic direction for the respiration inhibitor 3-bromopyruvic acid (3BP) in cancer treatment. Overall, this study offers an opportunity to improve antitumor efficacy and boost immune responses.

Summary: Breast cancer is a common malignant tumor in women, and drug resistance remains a clinical challenge. In this study, a novel compound, G-5b, was developed with potent antagonistic and degradation activities comparable to the current drug fulvestrant. G-5b also showed improved stability and solubility. Mechanistically, G-5b engages the proteasome pathway to degrade ER, inhibiting the ER signaling pathway and inducing apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. In animal models, G-5b exhibited superior pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics properties. Overall, G-5b is a promising long-acting SERD worthy of further investigation and optimization.

Summary: A series of hybrid inhibitors combining pharmacophores of known kinase inhibitors and benzohydroxamate HDAC inhibitors were synthesized and evaluated for their anticancer activity and pharmacokinetic properties. Compounds 4d-f exhibited promising cytotoxicity against hematological cells and moderate activity against solid tumor models. Compound 4d showed potent inhibition of multiple kinase targets and had stable interactions with HDAC and members of the JAK family. These compounds showed selective cytotoxicity with minimal effects on non-tumorigenic cells and favorable pharmacokinetic profiles.
