A series of new coumarin-N-heterocyclic hybrids, coumarin-quinolines 7a–e, coumarin-acridines 10b,c and coumarin-neocryptolepines 13b,c were synthesized and evaluated for their anticancer and antimicrobial activities. The structures of all synthesized hybrids were confirmed by FT-IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and MS spectrometry. The anti-proliferative activity of hybrids 7a–e, 10c and 13c were bio-evaluated using MTT-assay against colon (CaCo-2), lung (A549), breast (MDA-MB-231), and hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG-2) human cancer cell lines using doxorubicin as a reference drug. The results demonstrated that, all hybrids displayed moderate to good anti-proliferative activity against the cell lines. The most active hybrids were 7a–d and 10c against CaCo-2 cancer cell line with IC50: 57.1, 52.78, 57.29, 51.95 and 56.74 µM, and selectivity index 1.38, 1.76, 2.6, 1.96 and 0.77; respectively. While, 7a,d were potent against A549 cancer cell line with IC50: 51.72, 54.8 µM and selectivity index 1.5, 0.67; respectively. Moreover, 7c showed the most potency against MDA-MB-231 cancer cell line with IC50: 50.96 µM and selectivity index 2.20. Interestingly, docking results revealed that binding energy of the current compounds showed marked affinity values ranging from -6.54 to -5.56 kcal with interactions with the reported key amino acid SER 79. Furthermore, the antimicrobial activity of the synthesized hybrids 7a–e, 10b,c, 13b and 13c were evaluated against Gram‐positive and Gram‐negative bacterial and fungal strains. The hybrids 10b, 13b, 10c, and 13c exhibited broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against E.coli, S. mutans, and S. aureus with MIC from 3.2 to 66 µM, this hybrids also displayed antifungal activity against C. albicans with MIC values ranging from 0.0011 to 29.5 µM. In-silico investigation of the pharmacokinetic properties indicated that tested hybrids had high GI absorption, low Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) permeability in addition to cell membrane penetrability.

“…These results parallel previous investigations indicating the proliferation and metastasis of carcinoma cells into many internal organs [ 40 ]. The inflammatory cellular infiltrates responsible for hepatic inflammation progression may be attributed to mitochondrial damage [ 44 , 45 , 46 ] or the harmful effects of tumor angiogenesis caused by proangiogenic factor secretion [ 47 ].…”

Background: Orlistat (ORL) is an effective irreversible inhibitor of the lipase enzyme, and it possesses anticancer effects and limited aqueous solubility. This study was designed to improve the aqueous solubility, oral absorption, and tissue distribution of ORL via the formulation of nanocrystals (NCs). Methods: ORL-NC was prepared using the liquid antisolvent precipitation method (bottom-up technology), and it demonstrated significantly improved solubility compared with that of the blank crystals (ORL-BCs) and untreated ORL powder. The biodistribution and relative bioavailability of ORL-NC were investigated via the radiolabeling technique using Technetium-99m (99mTc). Female Swiss albino mice were used to examine the antitumor activity of ORL-NC against solid Ehrlich carcinoma (SEC)-induced hepatic damage in mice. Results: The prepared NCs improved ORL’s solubility, bioavailability, and tissue distribution, with evidence of 258.70% relative bioavailability. In the in vivo study, the ORL-NC treatment caused a reduction in all tested liver functions (total and direct bilirubin, AST, ALT, and ALP) and improved modifications in liver sections that were marked using hematoxylin and eosin staining (H&E) and immunohistochemical staining (Ki-67 and ER-α) compared with untreated SEC mice. Conclusions: The developed ORL-NC could be considered a promising formulation approach to enhance the oral absorption tissue distribution of ORL and suppress the liver damage caused by SEC.

Background and objectives Ehrlich solid carcinoma (ESC) is a type of tumor originating from a spontaneous mammary adenocarcinoma in mice. It is highly aggressive and fast-growing and can create a solid undifferentiated mass when inserted under the skin. This makes it an ideal model for assessing cancer biology and tumor immunology. Echinacoside is a natural phenylethanoid glycoside with anti-inflammatory, anti-endoplasmic reticulum stress, anti-oxidative stress, and other beneficial properties. This study explored the potential anti-cancer benefits of echinacoside in rats with ESC. The study also analyzed its effects on tumor cell proliferation, differentiation, motility, and inflammation. Methods The study involved injecting rats with tumors in their left hind limb using an intramuscular injection of 2×10 6 cells. After 14 days, some rats were given a daily intraperitoneal dose of 30 mg/kg echinacoside for three weeks. Muscle samples were then analyzed under an electron microscope. In addition, gene expression and protein levels of various factors such as phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3K), mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α, cyclin D1, cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and nuclear factor (NF)κB were evaluated in another part of the muscle samples. Results After being treated with echinacoside, the ESC rats experienced a significant increase in their mean survival time from 27 days to 48 days. This treatment also resulted in a decrease in the volume and weight of the tumor. Upon examining the tumor tissue under an electron microscope, signs of damage such as pleomorphic cells, necrosis, nuclear fragmentation, membrane damage with cytoplasmic content spilling, and loss of cellular junction were observed. However, the treatment with echinacoside was effective in improving these effects. Furthermore, the expression of PI3K, mTOR, HIF-1α, cyclin D1, CDK2, TNF-α, and NFκB was significantly reduced due to the echinacoside treatment. Conclusions Our research found that echinacoside has antitumor properties that resulted in a substantial decrease in tumor size and weight, leading to an increase in the average survival time of rats and an improvement in muscle structure. Additionally, echinacoside was shown to ameliorate hypoxia by suppressing HIF-1α, reduce inflammation by decreasing NFκB and TNF-α, decrease proliferation by reducing PI3K, and block cyclin D1 and CDK2 to inhibit differentiation.
