Black Phosphorus Nanosheet-Based Composite Biomaterials for the Enhanced Repair of Infectious Bone Defects.

Infectious bone defects pose significant challenges in orthopedic practice, marked by persistent bacterial infection and ongoing inflammatory responses. Recent advancements in bone tissue engineering have led to the development of biomaterials with both antibacterial properties and the ability to promote bone regeneration, offering new solutions to these complex issues. Black phosphorus nanosheets (BPNS), a unique two-dimensional material, demonstrate exceptional biocompatibility, bioactivity, and antibacterial properties.

Novel inhibitor N-cyclopropyl-4-((4-((4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)sulfonyl)piperazin-1-yl)methyl)benzamide attenuates RANKL-mediated osteoclast differentiation in vitro.

Both cyclopropyl amide and piperazine sulfonamide functional groups are known for their various biological properties used for drug development. Herein, we synthesized nine new derivatives with different substituent groups incorporating these moieties and screened them for their anti-osteoclast differentiation activity. After analyzing the structure-activity relationship (SAR), the inhibitory effect against osteoclastogenesis was determined to be dependent on the lipophilicity of the compound.

Discovery of TCP-(MP)-caffeic acid analogs as a new class of agents for treatment of osteoclastic bone loss.

Inhibition of LSD1 was proposed as promising and attractive therapies for treating osteoporosis. Here, we synthesized a series of novel TCP-(MP)-Caffeic acid analogs as potential LSD1 inhibitors to assess their inhibitory effects on osteoclastogenesis by using TRAP-staining assay and try to explore the preliminary SAR. Among them, TCP-MP-CA (11a) demonstrated osteoclastic bone loss both in vitro and in vivo, showing a significant improvement in the in vivo effects compared to the LSD1 inhibitor GSK-LSD1.
