Article Abstract
The influence of choline and geranic acid-based ionic liquids (CAGE ILs) on the anticancer activity of selected Pt(II) and Pt(IV) complexes was investigated. All complexes exhibited appreciable solubility in CAGE ILs, with Pt(II) complexes 2 and 4 undergoing immediate ligand substitution. In contrast, the hydrophobic derivative 3 demonstrated remarkable stability for up to 48 hours. F-H HOESY NMR analysis revealed that 3 localized within the hydrophobic regions of CAGE 1 : 2 (choline:geranate). When tested in U87-MG glioblastoma cells, CAGE ILs enhanced the anticancer activity of the Pt complexes. Notably, complex 3 exhibited a significant increase in cytotoxicity, nearly completely reducing cell viability when formulated with CAGE IL.

Immunotherapies, including cell therapies, are effective anti-cancer agents. However, cellular product persistence can be limiting with short functional duration of activity contributing to disease relapse. A variety of manufacturing protocols are used to generate therapeutic engineered T-cells; these differ in techniques used for T-cell isolation, activation, genetic modification, and other methodology.

Mitochondria-targeted photodynamic therapy (PDT) circumvents the short lifetime and action radius limitation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and greatly improves the anticancer PDT efficacy. However, current approaches require different molecular engineering strategies to separately improve ROS production and introduce mitochondria targeting ability, which involve tedious synthetic procedures. Herein, we report a facile one-step cationization strategy that simultaneously improves the ROS generation efficiency and introduces mitochondria targeting ability for enhanced PDT.

Activated B-cell diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (ABC-DLBCL) is an aggressive cancer with poor response to standard chemotherapy. In search of new therapeutic leads, a library of 435 fractions prepared from the Irish marine biorepository was screened against 2 ABC-DLBCL cell lines (TMD8 and OCI-Ly10) and a non-cancerous control cell line (CB33). Active fractions are prioritized based on potency and selectivity.

The ATPase caseinolytic protease X (ClpX), forming the ClpXP complex with caseinolytic protease P (ClpP), is essential for mitochondrial protein homeostasis. While ClpP targeting is a recognized anticancer strategy, the role of ClpX in cancer remains underexplored. In pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), elevated CLPX expression correlates with poor prognosis, suggesting its oncogenic function.

This study investigates the unique syneresis (self-shrinking) behavior of N-Terminally Fmoc-protected amino acid, Fmoc-hPhe-OH (Fmoc-homo-L-phenylalanine, abbreviated in this work as hF)-based hydrogel, and its potential in environmental remediation applications. Fmoc-hPhe-OH (hF) forms a hydrogel in 50 mM phosphate buffer (PB) of pH 7.4.
