Abstract Background Dihydroartemisinin (DHA) has been shown to exert anticancer activity through iron-dependent reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, which is similar ferroptosis, a novel form of cell death. However, whether DHA causes ferroptosis in glioma cells and the potential regulatory mechanisms remain unclear. Methods Effects on proliferation, death, ROS lipid generation as well reduced gluthione consumption were assessed with or without inhibitor. The biological by attenuate...

Monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) is the principle enzyme for metabolizing endogenous cannabinoid ligand 2-arachidonoyglycerol (2-AG). Blockade of MAGL increases 2-AG levels, resulting in subsequent activation endocannabinoid system, and has emerged as a novel therapeutic strategy to treat drug addiction, inflammation, neurodegenerative diseases. Herein we report new series inhibitors, which were radiolabeled by site-specific labeling technologies, including

Exercise improves cognitive function in older adults, but the underlying mechanism is largely unknown. Both lysosomal degradation and mitochondrial quality control decline with age. We hypothesized that exercise ameliorates age-related through improvement of aged hippocampus, this effect associated proteolysis. Sixteen to eighteen-month old male Sprague Dawley rats underwent swim training for 10 weeks. The regimen prevented rats, reduced oxidative stress, rejuvenated mitochondria...

Monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) is a serine hydrolase that degrades 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) in the endocannabinoid system (eCB). Selective inhibition of MAGL has emerged as potential therapeutic approach for treatment diverse pathological conditions, including chronic pain, inflammation, cancer, and neurodegeneration. Herein, we disclose novel array reversible irreversible inhibitors by means "tail switching" on piperazinyl azetidine scaffold. We developed lead irreversible-binding...

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a typical endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC) used worldwide. Considering its adverse effects, BPA has been banned or strictly restricted in some nations, and many analogs have introduced to the market. In this study, we selected three representative substitutes, BPS, BPF, BPAF, along with BPA, assess developmental reproductive effects on Daphnia magna. The F0 generation was exposed bisphenols (BPs) at an environmentally relevant concentration (100 μg/L) for 21 d; then...

Osteoporosis, characterized by excessive osteoclast activation, is mediated through the RANKL/RANK/OPG signaling axis. While flavonoids from Eucommia ulmoides (EU) have demonstrated anti-osteoclastogenic activity, their atomic-level mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we investigated six EU-derived (cyrtominetin, quercetin, syringetin, genistein, ombuin, and kaempferol) targeting RANKL using integrated computational approaches. Molecular docking revealed strong binding affinities (Total_Score >...
