Multimodal Cytogenetic and Molecular Approach for the Detection of a Constitutional Balanced Paracentric Inversion Disrupting RB1 in an Infant With Bilateral Retinoblastoma. (PubMed, Genes Chromosomes Cancer)
The patient was treated on a non-protocol treatment plan with five cycles of vincristine, carboplatin, etoposide, cyclophosphamide, and weekly intraventricular topotecan via Ommaya reservoir, followed by autologous stem cell rescue. Optical genome mapping (OGM) showed that the proximal breakpoint of the balanced inversion at 13q14.2 was within intron 17 of RB1, while the distal breakpoint at 13q31.3 did not interrupt any known genes of clinical significance. We review the various molecular techniques that aided in diagnosis of this patient and provide a summary of similar RB1-disrupting structural variants reported in the literature.

Nano catalyzed green synthesis of chalcone derivatives and its anti-oxidant and anti-lung cancer potential validated through in vitro experimentals, in silico quantum chemical, molecular docking and simulation studies. (PubMed, In Silico Pharmacol)
Drug likeness analysis results revealed that chalcone derivatives CD5, CD8, and CD9 and reference standard drugs lorlatinib and topotecan showed no violations against all five drug likeness rules. Current study overcomes these challenges by employing green nanocatalysts (Al(OH)₃ and Ti/Fe@Al(OH)₃) for eco-friendly, high-yield synthesis and computational screening to design potent, multi-target lung cancer therapeutic chalcone compounds. The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s40203-026-00599-3.

SUMOylation networks drive glioblastoma stemness, microenvironmental remodeling, and resistance. (PubMed, Semin Oncol)
Preclinical studies indicate that pharmacological inhibition of SUMOylation with agents like TAK-981, topotecan, or Paromomycin reduces tumor growth, reverses therapy resistance, and enhances radiosensitivity. Moreover, SUMO-related enzymes, such as UBA2, SENP1, and SUMO2/3, may serve as prognostic biomarkers. Understanding SUMOylation in GBM offers insights into tumor biology and identifies potential therapeutic targets to improve patient outcomes.

Design, synthesis and docking studies of new benzothiophene and benzothienopyran derivatives as topoisomerase I inhibitors with potential immunomodulatory action via cGAS-STING signaling pathway. (PubMed, Bioorg Chem)
Additionally, drug-likeness and pharmacokinetic properties, predicted by SwissADME, indicated that 5c complies with Lipinski's and Veber's rules of oral bioavailability showing a bioavailability score of 0.55. These findings highlight compound 5c as a promising Topo I inhibitor with mechanistically validated multimodal anticancer activity, superior inhibitory potency compared with topotecan, and enhanced selectivity toward cancer cells over normal CD8+ cells, supporting its potential for further anticancer drug development.
