lent pharmaceutical and therapeutic potential and thus can be employed as pH-responsive system for controlled delivery of anticancer agents.
Our findings conclusively evinced that the developed hydrogel exhibited excellent pharmaceutical and therapeutic potential and thus can be employed as pH-responsive system for controlled delivery of anticancer agents.Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that results in progressive and irreversible central nervous system impairment, which has become one of the severe issues recently. The most successful approach of Alzheimer's treatment is the administration of cholinesterase inhibitors to prevent the hydrolysis of acetylcholine and subsequently improve the cholinergic postsynaptic transmission. This review highlights a class of heterocycle, namely xanthone and its remarkable acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activities. Naturally occurring xanthones, including oxygenated, prenylated, pyrano and glycosylated xanthones exhibited promising inhibition effects towards acetylcholinesterase. Interestingly, synthetic xanthone derivatives with complex substituents such as alkyl, pyrrolidine, piperidine and morpholine have shown greater acetylcholinesterase inhibition activities. Structure-activity relationship of xanthones revealed that the type and position of substituent(s) attached to the xanthone moiety influenced their acetylcholinesterase inhibition activities where hydrophobic moiety will lead to an improved activity by contributing the π-π interactions, as well as the hydroxy substituent(s) by forming hydrogen-bond interactions. Thus, further studies including quantitative structure-activity relationship, in vivo and clinical validation studies are crucial for the development of xanthones into novel anti-Alzheimer's disease drugs.A member of cathepsin enzymes called Cathepsin B, is a cysteine-protease enzyme that plays significant roles in metalloproteinase regulation. Adavosertib Cathepsin B stands out amidst other members of cathepsin because of its role in both normal body physiology and pathophysiology. Being an anti-apoptotic and a pro-apoptotic agent, Cathepsin B has been reported to have deleterious effects, especially when its expression, activities, and distribution are outrageous. The over-expression of cathepsin B is traceable to dysregulation of one or more regulated steps involved in its synthesis. Consequently, the over-expression of cathepsin B contributes to the pathogenesis of different types of cancers - a global menace. Interestingly, the synthesis of this enzyme has been reported to be inhibited by several metal compounds, thus, curbing its involvement in carcinogenesis. In this review, the synthesis, structure, localization, and roles of cathepsin B in carcinogenesis were explored. Likewise, we also discussed the capacity of metallic compounds to inhibit this enzyme. Metals such as gold, ruthenium, palladium, Iridium, and Tellurium demonstrated remarkable activity toward cathepsin B of different modes. A relationship between cytotoxicity and inhibition constants was observed.Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease with concealed onset, which is characterized by damage of cholinergic system, deposition and accumulation of β-amyloid protein (Aβ) and Neurofibrillary tangles. Because cholinergic system plays a key role in the process of brain memory, cholinergic system has become one of the important targets in anti-AD research. In view of the complicated pathological characteristics of AD, the multi-target directed ligands (MTDLs) that can act on multiple targetsis considered to be an effective treatment strategy at present. Tacrine, as the first acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor, has been discontinued because of its hepatotoxicity, but its core structure is simple and easy to modify. By using tacrine to target the catalytic active site (CAS), the tacrine-based MTDLs can act on both CAS and peripheral anion site (PAS) of AChE so as to serve as a dual-site AChE inhibitor. Additionally, the tacrine-based MTDLs can also be designed on the basis of other theories of AD, for example, introducing functional moieties to modulate the formation of β-amyloid (Aβ), oxidation resistance or metal chelation. In this paper, the research progress of tacrine-based MTDLs is summarized.Limonene and perillyl alcohol are natural monoterpenes that have attracted the attention of medicinal chemists due to their promising anticancer activities. Considering this, both compounds were explored as scaffolds to obtain various derivatives with anticancer activity. In this review, the data are organized for the first time, with a focus on the synthetic methods and strategies to obtain the derivatives, throughout the period from 2000 to 2020. A brief discussion regarding the structure and activity relationships of the most active derivatives, stereoisomers and their mechanisms of action is presented. Among the active compounds, a series of limonenes with thiosemicarbazone groups and perillyl alcohol hybrids with glycosides or drugs are illustrated. Taking all of this into account, this review may help researchers develop new promising anticancer candidates based on the structures of limonene and perillyl alcohol.Over the past few decades, immunotherapy has emerged as a promising therapeutic approach to treat some types of cancer. Moreover, antibody-based cancer therapies can trigger apoptosis and cell growth inhibition to induce immune cell destruction of target cells through antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). Nevertheless, immunotherapeutic efficiency is often restricted to either deficient delivery or low accumulation of therapeutic molecules at the tumor site. Therefore, exposing immunoliposomes to ultrasound can effectively improve drug accessibility by enhancing cell membrane permeability and drug release. This review summarizes existing traditional cancer treatments and their limitations, emphasizing the recent advancements in ultrasound-triggered immunotherapy.Cardiovascular diseases are some of the major causes of morbidity and mortality in developed or developing countries but in developed countries as well. Cardiac fibrosis is one of the most often pathological changes of heart tissues. It occurs as a result of extracellular matrix proteins accumulation at myocardia. Cardiac fibrosis results in impaired cardiac systolic and diastolic functions and is associated with other effects. Therapies with medicines have not been sufficiently successful in treating chronic diseases such as CVD. Therefore, the interest for therapeutic potential of natural compounds and medicinal plants has increased. Plants such as grapes, berries and peanuts contain a polyphenolic compound called "resveratrol" which has been reported to have various therapeutic properties for a variety of diseases. Studies on laboratory models that show that resveratrol has beneficial effects on cardiovascular diseases including myocardial infarction, high blood pressure cardiomyopathy, thrombosis, cardiac fibrosis, and atherosclerosis.
