CTSK is a central hub integrating upstream signals to regulate systemic ECM homeostasis, making it a promising therapeutic target. Future therapeutic strategies should focus on developing highly selective inhibitors to achieve precise regulation and balance efficacy with safety.
These results highlight the anticancer properties of eugenol-derived allylphenol compounds. The compounds induce apoptosis by mechanisms independent of BAX/BCL-2 transcriptional modulation. Computational modeling suggests potential involvement of 15-LOX-1; nevertheless, direct mechanistic validation via caspase activity, ROS generation, or protein-level quantification of BAX/BCL-2 is necessary to verify the apoptotic pathway. The compounds suggest favorable pharmacokinetic profiles along with strong enzyme binding characteristics. Compound 38 exhibited the most balanced profile, characterized by high cytotoxicity, selectivity, and predicted ADME properties. Additional mechanistic investigations and in vivo validation are necessary to advance these candidates through preclinical development.
