Cynarin Targets Host CX3CR1 for Dual-Action Prophylaxis against RSV Infection and Pulmonary Pathology

Abstract Safe, small-molecule prophylactic agents against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) are critically lacking. Here, we identify Cynarin, an artichoke-derived dietary polyphenol, as a micromolar affinity CX3CR1 antagonist. Mechanistically, Cynarin confers dual-action protect...

Single-Cell Transcriptomic Profiling of the O -Methyltransferase Characteristics of Flavonoid Biosynthesis in Ziziphus jujuba var. spinosa Fruit

Abstract Sour jujube (Ziziphus jujuba var. spinosa) is a valuable medicinal and edible fruit owing to its health-promoting properties. Methoxylated flavonoids enhance their value by improving stability and bioavailability. However, the cellular basis of their biosynthesis remains...

Anticancer effects of an XPO1 inhibitor (selinexor) with sotorasib following omeprazole preconditioning in KRAS G12C-mutant non-small cell lung cancer cells in vitro and in a mouse tumor xenograft

BACKGROUND: KRAS G12C-mutant advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is currently treated with KRAS G12C covalent inhibitors, such as sotorasib, or RAS (ON) G12-selective inhibitors; however, response rates and progression-free survival remain limited, with recurrence occurri...
