TL;DR

TPGS–pyrimethamine micelles enhance cellular uptake and are associated with increased ROS generation, apoptosis, and cell-cycle alterations in MDA-MB-231 cells, together with tumour suppression in a murine lymphoma model, which support further preclinical investigation of TPGS-based pyrimethamine micelles as a potential anticancer delivery strategy.

Antitumor Efficacy of Apatinib and Etoposide-Loaded D-α-Tocopheryl Polyethylene Glycol Succinate Mixed Micelles Against Multidrug-Resistant Ovarian Cancer Cells

Background: Ovarian cancer is frequently diagnosed at an advanced stage and remains one of the most lethal gynecologic malignancies. The development of multidrug resistance (MDR) during repeated chemotherapy is a major cause of treatment failure and is often associated with increased drug efflux mediated by transporter...

Dihydropyrimidinone–isatin hybrids as potent inducers of cell-cycle arrest and caspase-dependent apoptosis in MV4-11 acute myeloid leukemia cells

Overall, the cytotoxic effects of 7k on MV4-11 cells are attributed to the coordinated induction of ROS-mediated oxidative stress, G0/G1 cell cycle arrest, and caspase-dependent apoptosis, highlighting its promising antiproliferative potential.

Spatiotemporally programmed hybrid nano-prodrugs orchestrate multidimensionally synergistic cascade lethality in NSCLC

This findings demonstrate that E-R@ISSL achieved coordinated DNA damage, ferroptosis, and ICD induction through its dual-targeted and sequentially activated co-delivery of ETP and LA, concurrently dismantling the GSH/GPX4 antioxidant defense and intensifying oxidative injury.
