N-phenyl ureidobenzenesulfonates (PUB-SOs) is a new class of promising anticancer agents inducing replication stresses and cell cycle arrest in S-phase. However, the pharmacological target of PUB-SOs was still unidentified. Consequently, the objective of the present study was to identify and confirm the pharmacological target of the prototypical PUB-SO named 2-ethylphenyl 4-(3-ethylureido)benzenesulfonate (SFOM-0046) leading to the cell cycle arrest in S-phase. The antiproliferative and the c...
We recently designed and prepared new families of potent antimicrotubule agents designated as N-phenyl 4-(2-oxoimidazolidin-1-yl)benzenesulfonates (PIB–SOs) and phenyl 4-(2-oxoimidazolidin-1-yl)benzenesulfonamides (PIB–SAs). Our previous structure-activity relationship studies (SAR) focused on the aromatic ring B of PIB-SOs and PIB-SAs leaving the impact of the phenylimidazolidin-2-one moiety (ring A) on the binding to the colchicine-binding site (C-BS) poorly studied. Therefore, the aim of t...
Background Bariatric surgery is an effective therapy for individuals with severe obesity to achieve sustainable weight loss and to reduce comorbidities. Examining the molecular signature of subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) following different types of bariatric surgery may help in gaining further insight into their distinct metabolic impact. Results Subjects undergoing biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS) showed a significantly higher percentage of total weight loss tha...
Background. Numerous studies reported that diets rich in phenolic compounds are beneficial to human health, especially for immune-metabolic conditions, yet these effects and underlying mechanisms are not well defined. Objectives. The main goal of this study was to investigate the architecture of the inter-individual variability of the immune-metabolic response to raspberry consumption, by identifying distinct subgroups of participants sharing similar transcriptomic signatures. Methods. T...
