Influence of Indole-N Substitution of Thiosemicarbazones in Cationic Ru(II)(η6-Benzene) Complexes on Their Anticancer Activity

Nithya Balakrishnan et al.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of the structure of indole thiosemicarbazone derivatives on the anticancer activity of their ruthenium complexes. The complexes show good biomolecular interactions with DNA/protein and exhibit significant anticancer potential against MB-MDA-231 and MCF-7 cancer cells. The substitution of a benzyl group at the indoleN improves the cytotoxic profile of the complexes compared to the allyl group, and the para-substituted benzyl scaffolds show higher anticancer activity than the meta-substituted compounds.

Developing an Anticancer Platinum(II) Compound Based on the Uniqueness of Human Serum Albumin

Zhenlei Zhang et al.

Summary: To develop a next-generation Pt drug with high activity and low toxicity, researchers optimized a Pt(II) thiosemicarbazone compound (C4) with remarkable cytotoxicity to SK N-MC cells and constructed a human serum albumin-C4 (HSA-C4) complex delivery system. In vivo experiments showed that both C4 and the HSA-C4 complex had excellent therapeutic efficiency and minimal toxicity, inducing apoptosis and inhibiting tumor angiogenesis. This system has the potential to become a practical Pt drug, paving the way for the development of next-generation dual-targeted Pt drugs for cancer targeting therapy.

Transcriptomic Analysis of Diethylstilbestrol in Daphnia Magna: Energy Metabolism and Growth Inhibition

Qi Li et al.

Summary: With the widespread use of diethylstilbestrol (DES), it has become a common contaminant in the aquatic environment. It is toxic to a wide range of aquatic organisms, disrupting the water flea growth and further interfering with several ecosystem services. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanism of DES in water fleas is still unexplicit. In this study, the 21-day chronic test showed that a negative effect of growth and reproduction can be observed with DES exposure. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that exposure to DES significantly affects energy metabolism, lipid metabolism, the digestive system, transport, and catabolism pathways in D. magna, leading to reduced body length and delayed first spawning time. Therefore, this study emphasizes the threat of DES to D. magna and provides insights into its molecular mechanism.

Toxic Effects of Methylene Blue on the Growth, Reproduction and Physiology of Daphnia magna

Shuhui Li et al.

Summary: Methylene blue is commonly used as a disinfectant in aquaculture, but its release can have detrimental effects on the aquatic ecosystem. This study focused on the toxic effects of methylene blue on zooplankton, using Daphnia magna as the test organism. Results showed that exposure to methylene blue affected the reproduction, growth, and physiological responses of D. magna. These findings have implications for the regulation and use of methylene blue in aquaculture.
