Article Abstract
The cardiac effect of thirty-eight diterpenoid alkaloids was evaluated on the isolated bullfrog heart model. Among them, twelve compounds exhibited appreciable cardiac activity, with compounds 3 and 35 being more active than the reference drug lanatoside. The structure-cardiac activity relationships of the diterpenoid alkaloids were summarized based on our present and previous studies [2]: i) 1α-OMe or 1α-OH, 8-OH, 14-OH, and NH (or NMe) are key structural features important for the cardiac effect of the aconitine-type C19-diterpenoid alkaloids without any esters. C18-diterpenoid alkaloids, lycoctonine-type C19-diterpenoid alkaloids, and the veatchine- and denudatine-type C20-diterpenoid alkaloids did not show any cardiac activity; ii) the presence of 3α-OH is beneficial to the cardiac activity; iii) the effect on the cardiac action of 6α-OMe, 13-OH, 15α-OH, and 16-demethoxy or a double bond between C-15 and C-16 depends on the substituent pattern on the nitrogen atom.

The catalytic asymmetric Mannich reaction is a multicomponent reaction which affords β-amino carbonyl compounds by utilizing an aldehyde, a primary or secondary amine/ammonia, and a ketone. β-amino carbonyl scaffolds are crucial intermediates for the synthesis of naturally occurring bioactive compounds and their derivatives. The synthesized natural compounds exhibit a broad spectrum of biological activities including anti-fungal, anti-cancer, anti-bacterial, anti-HIV, anti-oxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities.

Background: The three main chemotherapy regimens for people with unresectable pancreatic cancer include modified FOLFIRINOX (comprising oxaliplatin, irinotecan and fluorouracil, denoted mFFX), gemcitabine with nab-paclitaxel (GnP), and single-agent gemcitabine (GEM). We explored characteristics associated with the type of chemotherapy and variations in survival.
Materials And Methods: Records for people with unresected pancreatic adenocarcinoma between 2018 and 2022 treated with first-line mFFX, GnP or GEM were extracted from the population-based Queensland Oncology Repository.

Background: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which is characterized by the accumulation of fat in the liver, has emerged as a leading cause of chronic liver diseases and malignancies. However, there remains a scarcity of approved therapeutic interventions. Brunodelphinine A (BruA) is a diterpenoid alkaloid isolated from Delphinium brunonianum Royle.

Purpose: FOLFIRINOX (FFX) and gemcitabine + nab-paclitaxel (GnP) are the most commonly administered first-line (1L) regimens for advanced, nonresectable, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). In the absence of biomarkers to predict response, clinical covariates such as age and performance status are often used by clinicians to select optimal treatment regimens. Purity independent subtyping of tumors (PurIST) is a molecular subtyping algorithm that classifies tumors as classical or basal.
