Development of a leucine aminopeptidase-activatable co-prodrug from CDDO-Me and ligustrazine for synergistic treatment of liver injury. (PubMed, Bioorg Chem)
Furthermore, CHL reduced p-p65 expression by 5-fold, indicating its effective inhibition of NF-κB transcriptional activity and thereby alleviating inflammatory responses. Therefore, the LAP-activable co-prodrug CHL holds promising potential as a candidate for the synergistic treatment of liver injury.

Bardoxolone methyl improves survival and reduces clinical measures of kidney injury in tumor-bearing mice treated with cisplatin. (PubMed, AAPS Open)
Cisplatin treatment significantly decreased tumor burden compared to vehicle-treated mice (p < 0.05 after two cisplatin doses) - a response that was not altered by BARD co-treatment. Overall, the results of this study demonstrate that BARD has the potential to improve survival and reduce clinical measures of kidney injury in tumor-bearing mice treated with cisplatin, suggesting it could be used as a nephroprotectant to mitigate cisplatin-induced AKI.

CDDO-Me Triggers ROS-Dependent Ferroptosis and Apoptosis in Cervical Cancer via targeting PI3K/Nrf2 pathway. (PubMed, Food Chem Toxicol)
CDDO-Me induces CC cell lines apoptosis and ferroptosis through the PI3K/Nrf2 signaling pathway, for exerting anti-proliferation effects.

Hydroxytyrosol induced ferroptosis through Nrf2 signaling pathway in colorectal cancer cells. (PubMed, Sci Rep)
Additionally, the levels of protein expression of Nrf2 and NQO1 were reversed by two activators of Nrf2, bardoxolone (CDDO) and sulforaphane (SFN). In summary, we provide evidence that HT may induce ferroptosis in colorectal cancer cells. Mechanistically, HT induces ferroptosis via the Nrf2 signaling pathway.

Cysteine Alkylation in Enzymes and Transcription Factors: A Therapeutic Strategy for Cancer. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
Synthetic compounds like STAT3-IN-1 and CDDO-Me demonstrated superior binding in most targets, except for CDDO-Me with HIF-1α, suggesting unique structural incompatibilities. Natural products such as zerumbone and umbelliferone displayed moderate activity, while palbociclib highlighted synthetic-drug advantages. These results underscore the importance of ligand-receptor structural complementarity, particularly for HIF-1α's confined binding site, where helenalin's terminal Michael acceptor system proved optimal. The findings advocate for integrating computational and experimental approaches to develop cysteine-targeted therapies, balancing synthetic precision with natural product versatility for context-dependent cancer treatment strategies.

Regulation of inflammation by Chaihu-Shugan-San: Targeting the IL-17/ NF-κB pathway to combat breast cancer-related depression. (PubMed, Phytomedicine)
This study systematically demonstrates that CSS ameliorates BCRD by suppressing the IL-17/ NF-κB pathway as well as modulating microglial polarization and elucidates the dual function of IL-17. These results point to a new multi-target intervention strategy for BCRD treatment and fully reflect the holistic effects of CSS by its multi-component as well as multi-target actions.

Bardoxolone displays potent activity against triple negative breast cancer by inhibiting the TRIP13/STAT3 circuit. (PubMed, Acta Pharmacol Sin)
Bardoxolone also exerts great activity to suppress TNBC tumor growth in vivo but does not show toxicity. Therefore, we reveal that the TRIP13/STAT3 circuit promotes TNBC cell proliferation and this circuit is a promising target for the treatment of TNBC.

Discovery of a molecular glue for EGFR degradation. (PubMed, Oncogene)
Notably, CDDO-Me attenuates TNBC progression by accelerating EGFR degradation in cell-derived xenografts and patient-derived organoid models, highlighting its clinical application potential. Consequently, induction of EGFR degradation through MG degraders represents a viable therapeutic strategy for TNBC.

Exploring the impact of mitochondrial-targeting anthelmintic agents with GLUT1 inhibitor BAY-876 on breast cancer cell metabolism. (PubMed, BMC Cancer)
In this regard, combination of BAY-876 with both mitochondrial targeting agents resulted in inhibition of compensatory glycolysis and subsequent metabolic crisis. These studies highlight targeting tumor metabolism as a combination treatment regimen that can be tailored by basal and compensatory metabolic phenotypes.

BMS345541 is predicted as a repurposed drug for the treatment of TMZ-resistant Glioblastoma using target gene expression and virtual drug screening. (PubMed, Cancer Genet)
Glioblastoma (GBM) is one of the most aggressive and fatal cancers, for which Temozolomide (TMZ) chemo drug is commonly used for its treatment. The ADMET analysis of this drug BMS345541 shows a higher half-life and lower cytotoxicity level than other predicted repurposed drugs. Hence, we conjecture that this could be a better drug for increasing the sensitivity of TMZ for treating GBM patients.
