Eight new stigmasterol derivatives possessing 1,2,3-triazoles moiety were synthesized by a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction. All the compounds were characterized by IR, NMR, and HR-MS. In addition, human cervical cancer cells (HeLa), human gastric cancer cells (HGC-27), and human renal epithelial cells (HEK-293T) were selected to study the antitumor activity of the synthesized compounds. The results demonstrated that compounds 3c and 3d exhibited better inhibitory activity against the tested tumor cell lines. The IC 50 value of the inhibitory activity on HeLa was 52.3 μmol·L –1 and 31.4 μmol·L –1 , and 40.6 μmol·L –1 and 44.6 μmol·L –1 for HGC-27, respectively.

Currently, ferrite magnetic nanoparticles are widely utilized in the biomedical domain, encompassing antibacterial, catalytic, imaging, and drug delivery among other fields. In this study, Cu 0.5 Zn 0.5 Fe 2 O 4 nanoparticles were synthesized via the rapid combustion-calcination process. By incorporating inorganic metal elements with specific functionalities, the limitations of iron oxide could be overcome, enabling targeted roles in various applications. The morphology, phase composition, and magnetic properties were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM). The impact of anhydrous ethanol quantity, calcination temperature, and duration on the magnetic properties and grain size of the nanomaterials was investigated. Cu 0.5 Zn 0.5 Fe 2 O 4 nanoparticles were evaluated for their inhibitory effects on human gastric cancer cells (SGC-7901 and HGC-27) under different preparation conditions. The results of the MTT assay revealed a concentration - and time-dependent inhibition of tumor cell proliferation by Cu 0.5 Zn 0.5 Fe 2 O 4 nanoparticles. Nanoparticles exhibiting a magnetic energy of 20.23 emu/g and an average particle size of 51.6 nm, synthesized using 20 mL of anhydrous ethanol, calcination temperature of 400 °C, and a calcination duration of 2.0 h, displayed significant inhibitory effects on tumor cells. Furthermore, The nanoparticles not only showed low toxicity to human normal stomach cells GES-1, but also enhanced the inhibitory effect on tumor cells under the action of an external magnetic field.

Bacillomycin D can inhibit the growth of Aspergillus ochraceus in food samples. In addition, it can induce apoptosis in and inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells, although the details of this mechanism are unknown. In this study, we separated bacillomycin D-C14, D-C15, D-C16
monomers from the Bacillus subtilis strain fmbJ. The bacillomycin D monomers containing longer fatty acid chains better induced apoptosis in Bgc-823, Sgc-7901, and Hgc-27 gastric cancer cells. The Bgc-823 cell line was the most sensitive. Acridine orange-ethidium bromide staining indicated
that bacillomycin D-C16-induced Bgc-823 cell death by triggering apoptosis, characterized by membrane blebbing, cellular shrinkage, and DNA fragmentation. Flow cytometric analysis showed a bacillomycin D-C16 dose-dependent trigger of Bgc-823 apoptosis. Bacillomycin D-C16-induced the mitochondrial
pathway, as indicated by a reduced Bcl-2/Bax expression ratio, enhanced cytochrome C release, and higher levels of cleaved caspase-3. Furthermore, bacillomycin D-C16 effectively repressed phosphorylation of the serine–threonine protein kinase Akt at Ser-473 and increased the levels of
the FoxO3a protein. The combination of the PI3K/Akt-inhibitor BEZ235 with bacillomycin D-C16 enhanced the apoptosis of Bgc-823 cells. Together, these findings indicated that bacillomycin D-C16 induces apoptosis through the PI3K/Akt and FoxO3a signaling pathways.

VEGFR-2 is an attractive therapeutic target for antitumor drug research by blocking tumor angiogenesis and PROTAC provides a new technology for targeted protein knockout. Herein, a library of novel VEGFR-2-PROTAC degraders were rationally designed and synthesized based on the Lys residue region on the surface of VEGFR-2 protein using protein structure-based drug design strategy. Among them, P7 exhibited preferable antitumor activity against HGC-27 cells and less toxic to human normal HUVEC, HEK293T and GES-1 cells in vitro , as well as the potent degradation activity of VEGFR-2 protein in HGC-27 cells (DC 50 : 0.084 ± 0.04 μM, D max : 73.7%) and HUVEC cells (DC 50 : 0.51 ± 0.10 μM, Dmax: 76.6%). Additionally, P7 degraded VEGFR-2 protein by the formation of ternary complex and the ubiquitin proteasome pathway in HGC-27 cells. Furthermore, P7 shortened the half-life of VEGFR-2 protein synthesis and had no inhibitory effect on the expression of VEGFR-2 mRNA in HGC-27 cells. Moreover, P7 inhibited the colony formation, migration and invasion of HGC-27 cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner, and meanwhile induced G 2 /M phase cycle arrest and apoptosis . All the results demonstrated that P7 could be as a promising VEGFR-2-PROTAC degrader for gastric cancer therapy.

The PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway is one of the most common abnormal activation pathways in tumor cells, and has associated with multiple functions such as tumor cell growth, proliferation, migration, invasion, and tumor angiogenesis. Here, a series of 3-amino-1 H -indazole derivatives were synthesized, and their antiproliferative activities against HT-29, MCF-7, A-549, HepG2 and HGC-27 cells were evaluated. Among them, W24 exhibited the broad-spectrum antiproliferative activity against four cancer cells with IC 50 values of 0.43–3.88 μM. Mechanism studies revealed that W24 inhibited proliferation by affecting the DNA synthesis, induced G 2 /M cell cycle arrest and apoptosis by regulating Cyclin B1, BAD and Bcl-xL, meanwhile induced the change of intracellular ROS and mitochondrial membrane potential in HGC-27 cells. Moreover, W24 inhibited the migration and invasion of HGC-27 cells by decreasing EMT pathway related proteins and reducing the mRNA expression levels of Snail, Slug and HIF-1α. Furthermore, W24 displayed low tissue toxicity profile and good pharmacokinetic properties in vivo . Therefore, 3-amino-1 H -indazole derivatives might serve as a new scaffold for the development of PI3K/AKT/mTOR inhibitor and anti-gastric cancer reagent.
