CDDO-Me alleviates doxorubicin/lapatinib-induced cardiotoxicity by activating the NRF2/GPX4 axis to inhibit oxidative stress and ferroptosis. (PubMed, Free Radic Biol Med)
Furthermore, CDDO-Me did not compromise the antitumor efficacy of DOX/LAP in breast cancer cells. CDDO-Me protects against DOX/LAP-induced cardiotoxicity by stabilizing GPX4 and inhibiting ferroptosis, offering a promising therapeutic strategy that preserves cardiac function without interfering with chemotherapy.

Targeting the aHSC-PGE2-NK cell axis overcomes immunosuppression and inhibits liver metastasis in fibrotic liver. (PubMed, Cancer Lett)
Either the depletion of aHSCs or pharmacological inhibition of the PGE2-synthesizing enzyme Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) with Celecoxib (CLX) restored NK cell function and suppressed LM. Notably, CLX treatment synergized with anti-NKG2A-based immunotherapy, significantly boosting its efficacy against LM in the fibrotic liver. Our findings unveil a critical "aHSC-PGE2-NK cell" axis in liver fibrosis-induced immunosuppression and provide a compelling therapeutic strategy for the clinical management of LM.

Discovery of New CDDO-Imidazole Derivatives as Potential Antitumor Agents. (PubMed, ChemMedChem)
Notably, 8 exhibited significant antitumor efficacy comparable to CDDO-Me (bardoxolone methyl), which had entered clinical trials. Taken together, 8 represents a promising candidate for the treatment of cancer and merits further study.

Methoxylated 3,4-diaryl-5-methyl-1(H)-pyrazoles: discovery of a new anti-inflammatory scaffold. (PubMed, Bioorg Chem)
Micrographs of the ear's tissue clearly showed a decrease in thickness and infiltration of neutrophils, which correlates with the reduction of MPO and cytokines. Finally, molecular docking suggested that the series could inhibit cyclooxygenases and displayed a binding mode like that of celecoxib, though the enzymatic assay will be performed in future work.

Celecoxib Inhibits Vasculogenic Mimicry and Induces Apoptosis in the D17 Canine Osteosarcoma Cell Line via the COX-2/PGE2 Signaling Axis. (PubMed, Vet Sci)
Crucially, the addition of exogenous PGE2 restored VM formation in celecoxib-treated cells, confirming that celecoxib-mediated VM suppression is dependent on the reduction of PGE2 levels. These findings establish the COX-2/PGE2 signaling axis as a key regulator of VM in D17 canine osteosarcoma cells and that celecoxib warrants further preclinical evaluation as a strategy to target both tumor growth and alternative vascularization.

Astragalus membranaceus polysaccharide (APs) and Eugenol: Multi-target Anti-inflammatory, Antioxidant, Antimicrobial, and anticancer effects validated by in Silico studies. (PubMed, J Genet Eng Biotechnol)
The combination also significantly downregulated IL-6, IL-17, and TNF-α levels, and showed potent COX-2 inhibition (0.10 ± 0.01 µg/mL), surpassing celecoxib (0.9 ± 0.05 µg/mL)...Notably, the combination reduced cell viability to 3.77 ± 0.4 % % at 400 µg/mL, consistent with apoptotic changes. Collectively, these findings highlight the synergistic potential of APs and eugenol as a multi-target therapeutic approach against MDR infections, inflammation, oxidative stress, and liver cancer.

Treatment of Feline Lung-Digit Syndrome with Toceranib Phosphate: Prolonged Survival and Novel Metastatic Findings. (PubMed, Animals (Basel))
Palliative therapy with toceranib phosphate and meloxicam achieved prolonged survival and excellent quality of life, with no adverse effects despite dose escalation...The observed benefit likely reflects toceranib's multi-target activity (VEGFR2, PDGFR), impacting angiogenesis and tumour progression. This case represents the first report of toceranib phosphate use in feline pulmonary carcinoma and underscores its potential as a palliative option.
