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.
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.
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.
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.

HIF1A (Hypoxia inducible factor 1, alpha subunit) • STAT3 (Signal Transducer And Activator Of Transcription 3)
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 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.

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.
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.
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.
