Analgesic Alkaloids Derived From Traditional Chinese Medicine in Pain Management.

Chronic pain is one of the most prevalent health problems. The establishment of chronic pain is complex. Current medication for chronic pain mainly dependent on anticonvulsants, tricyclic antidepressants and opioidergic drugs. However, they have limited therapeutic efficacy, and some even with severe side effects. We turned our interest into alkaloids separated from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), that usually act on multiple drug targets. In this article, we introduced the best-studied analgesic alkaloids derived from TCM, including tetrahydropalmatine, aloperine, oxysophocarpine, matrine

Withania somnifera: Progress towards a Pharmaceutical Agent for Immunomodulation and Cancer Therapeutics.

Methyl jasmonate: putative mechanisms of action on cancer cells cycle, metabolism, and apoptosis.

Methyl jasmonate (MJ), an oxylipid that induces defense-related mechanisms in plants, has been shown to be active against cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo, without affecting normal cells. Here we review most of the described MJ activities in an attempt to get an integrated view and better understanding of its multifaceted modes of action. MJ (1) arrests cell cycle, inhibiting cell growth and proliferation, (2) causes cell death through the intrinsic/extrinsic proapoptotic, p53-independent apoptotic, and nonapoptotic (necrosis) pathways, (3) detaches hexokinase from the voltage-dependent

From Innate Immunity to Cancer Therapy: Antimicrobial Peptides as Emerging Anticancer Agents.

The potential for the use of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) as anticancer agents has garnered much interest because of their selective cytotoxicity to tumor cells and ability to evade multidrug resistance mechanisms. AMPs are shorter cationic amphiphilic molecules, part of our innate immune system, with direct membrane-disruptive activity and immunomodulatory effects. Anticancer peptides (ACPs) can be derived from natural biophysical sources or synthetically engineered, taking advantage of the unique biophysical properties of cancer cell membranes to exert their anti-tumor activities rapidly an

Update on Contrast-Induced Nephropathy: Recent Developments in Its Prevention, Early Diagnosis, and Therapy.

Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN), now more accurately referred to as contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI), remains a major cause of hospital-acquired acute kidney injury (AKI) and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality, particularly in high-risk patients. This condition occurs following the intravascular administration of iodinated radiocontrast media (RCM), especially in individuals with pre-existing chronic kidney disease (CKD), diabetes mellitus, heart failure, advanced age, or exposure to high contrast volumes. The pathophysiology of CI-AKI is multifactorial and in

Using an integrated omics approach to uncover the mechanisms underlying chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN).

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a debilitating side effect with limited treatment options. The primary challenge in developing therapies is the lack of identified neurotoxic mechanisms. To address this, an integrated omics approach, combining transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, is essential to map the biological changes underlying the condition. Here, we show how data from these complementary approaches converge on key mechanisms involved in CIPN through a critical summary of animal and human studies. Current research highlights several key drivers of CIPN, such

Metabolic Rewiring in Radiation Oncology Toward Improving the Therapeutic Ratio.

To meet the anabolic demands of the proliferative potential of tumor cells, malignant cells tend to rewire their metabolic pathways. Although different types of malignant cells share this phenomenon, there is a large intracellular variability how these metabolic patterns are altered. Fortunately, differences in metabolic patterns between normal tissue and malignant cells can be exploited to increase the therapeutic ratio. Modulation of cellular metabolism to improve treatment outcome is an emerging field proposing a variety of promising strategies in primary tumor and metastatic lesion treatme

Immunodiagnosis - the promise of personalized immunotherapy.

Immunotherapy showed remarkable efficacy in several cancer types. However, the majority of patients do not benefit from immunotherapy. Evaluating tumor heterogeneity and immune status before treatment is key to identifying patients that are more likely to respond to immunotherapy. Demographic characteristics (such as sex, age, and race), immune status, and specific biomarkers all contribute to response to immunotherapy. A comprehensive immunodiagnostic model integrating all these three dimensions by artificial intelligence would provide valuable information for predicting treatment response. H
