In this study, detailed information on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells (HepG-2, SMMC-7721, and HuH-7) and normal human liver cell L02 treated by ferrocene derivatives (compounds ,  and ) is provided. The cell viability assay showed that compound  presented the most potent and selective anti-HCC activity. Further mechanism study indicated that the proliferation inhibition effect of compound  was associated with the cycle arrest at the G0/G1 phase and downregulation of cyclin D1/CDK4. Moreover, compound  could induce apoptosis in HCC cells by loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm), accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), decrease in Bcl-2, increase in BAX and Bad, translocation of Cytochrome , activation of Caspase-9, -3, and cleavage of PARP. These results indicated that compound  would be a promising candidate against HCC through G0/G1 cell cycle arrest-related proliferation inhibition and mitochondrial pathway-dependent apoptosis.

Novel Ferrocene Derivatives Induce G0/G1 Cell Cycle Arrest and Apoptosis through the Mitochondrial Pathway in Human Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is one of the most common causes of death in pediatric malignancies. However, the clinical chemotherapy for T-ALL has been limited by numerous side effects, emphasizing that novel anti-T-ALL drugs are urgently needed. Herein, a series of 2-acyl-1-dimethylaminomethyl-ferrocenes for cancer therapy have been evaluated. Among them, F1 and F3 exhibited potent cytotoxicity against T-ALL cell lines, especially Jurkat cells, with low cytotoxicity for normal cells. Further mechanistic studies revealed that F1 and F3 could induce apoptosis in Jurkat cells by destructing mitochondrial membrane, enhancing reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, decreasing the Bcl-2/Bax ratio, releasing Cytochrome c, and increasing the expression of Cleaved Caspase-9/-3 and Cleaved PARP. Additionally, F1 and F3 could suppress cell proliferation and arrest the cell cycle at G0/G1 phase through the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway by down-regulating the expression of CDK6, Cyclin D1, p-Akt, p-GSK-3β, p-mTOR, p-p70 S6K, and up-regulating the expression of P21 and P27, which would also be a possible mechanism. Consequently, ferrocene derivatives F1 and F3 could induce apoptosis through a mitochondria-dependent pathway mediated by ROS, and cell cycle arrest at G0/G1 phase via the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway in Jurkat cells. The present study provided fundamental insights into the clinical application of F1 and F3 for the treatment of T-ALL.

Novel Ferrocene Derivatives Induce Apoptosis through Mitochondria-Dependent and Cell Cycle Arrest via PI3K/Akt/mTOR Signaling Pathway in T Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.

Thrombosis has been emerging as a major global life-threatening issue with high mortality and serious complications, especially in the post-COVID-19 era. Compared with the commonly used plasminogen activators thrombolytic drugs, fibrinolytic drugs are no longer heavily dependent on the patients' own plasminogen, which are poorly expressed in most patients. As a novel "direct acting" thrombolytic agent, fibrinolytic drugs are considered to have stronger thrombolytic efficacy and safety than the widely used plasminogen activators. However, the risk of their hemorrhage remains a major concern. Herein, the molecular mechanisms and solutions were summarized for the first time based on the systematic review of the latest developments, which could shed new light on the development of novel safety fibrinolytic drugs in the future.
