Nrf2 Activation: Involvement in Central Nervous System Traumatic Injuries. A Promising Therapeutic Target of Natural Compounds

Serena Silvestro et al.

Summary: Central nervous system trauma, such as traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury, has become a significant health burden due to its preventability and complex medical care required. Deficiencies in neurodegeneration, such as oxidative stress and neuronal apoptosis, are common in these injuries. The transcriptional factor Nrf2 has been found to play a crucial role in regulating the antioxidant response and can be activated by natural compounds. These compounds show neuroprotective properties in experimental models of CNS trauma, making them potential therapeutic strategies.

The Pyrazolo[3,4-d]Pyrimidine Derivative Si306 Encapsulated into Anti-GD2-Immunoliposomes as Therapeutic Treatment of Neuroblastoma

Enrico Rango et al.

Summary: Si306, an anticancer agent, has shown favorable activity against neuroblastoma models. However, its sub-optimal aqueous solubility poses a limitation for its development. In this study, Si306 was encapsulated into liposomes and modified with an antibody specific for neuroblastoma cells. The modified liposomes demonstrated increased cellular targeting and cytotoxic activity. In animal experiments, Si306 encapsulated in targeted liposomes showed significantly higher tumor uptake and improved survival rates.

Diversity and versatility of p38 kinase signalling in health and disease

Begona Canovas et al.

Summary: The ability of cells to cope with various stressful situations is crucial for survival, with p38 alpha kinase playing a key role in the cellular stress response. Understanding the diversity of p38 alpha substrates, their mechanisms, and their connections to specific cellular functions is important for insights into physiology and pathology. Dysregulation of the p38 alpha pathway has been linked to diseases such as inflammation, immune disorders, and cancer.

Thio-substituted derivatives of 4-amino-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-6-thiol as antiproliferative agents

Barbara Cacciari et al.

Summary: The study aimed to identify new compounds for potential antiproliferative drug candidates, with the most effective compounds showing selectivity against cancer cells. The presence of a substituted pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine core and substituents at the thiol function in the 6-position were found to be essential for this antiproliferative activity.
