A series of 2-amino-3-cyano-4-alkyl-6-(2-hydroxyphenyl)pyridine derivatives was synthesized and evaluated as I kappaB kinase beta (IKK-beta) inhibitors. Modification of a novel IKK-beta inhibitor 1 (IKK-beta IC(50)=1500 nM, Cell IC(50)=8000 nM) at the 4-phenyl ring and 6-phenol group on the pyridine core ring resulted in a marked increased in biological activities. An optimized compound, 2-amino-6-[2-(cyclopropylmethoxy)-6-hydroxyphenyl]-4-piperidin-4-yl nicotinonitrile, exhibited excellent in vitro profiles (IKK-beta IC(50)=8.5 nM, Cell IC(50)=60 nM) and a strong oral efficacy in in vivo anti-inflammatory assays (significant effects at 1mg/kg, po in arachidonic acid-induced ear edema model in mice).

The skin, a vital barrier against environmental damage, plays a crucial role in maintaining organismal homeostasis. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying skin wound repair remain incompletely understood, with microRNA regulation potentially serving as a key regulatory component. Utilizing the amphibian-derived cyclic peptide Cy as a molecular probe, we identified the miR-181d-5p/Ikbkg/NF-κB axis as significantly associated with wound healing through small RNA sequencing of early-stage skin injury.

Dihydroquercetin (DHQ), a compound with neuroprotective effects, has shown its potential in a variety of nervous system diseases. However, its mechanism of action in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) remains to be further explored. Due to its poor solubility, the clinical application of DHQ is restricted.

In this study, we evaluated Dehydrozingerone-15, a novel dehydrozingerone derivative, for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties through standardised in vitro and in vivo approaches. Dehydrozingerone-15 suppressed the stimulatory effect of LPS in RAW 264.

This study aims to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy and potential underlying mechanisms of a novel high-power low-temperature plasma (hLTP) therapy for treatment of psoriasis. Imiquimod (IMQ)-induced rat psoriasis model was used to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of hLTP. Potential mechanisms were explored using bioinformatics analysis and molecular biology validation based on transcriptomic data.
