Cellular resilience to therapy often arises from adaptive mechanisms that safeguard iron-sulfur (Fe-S) proteins. Here, we present a rational strategy to overcome such resilience by integrating two synergistic vulnerabilities, copper toxicity and Fe-S cluster homeostasis, into a single molecular scaffold. Inspired by a...

Peptide and peptoid are two types of peptidomimetics can be used as drugs for diseases. One of the main hallmarks in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is Aβ aggregation. Due to the natural affinity between peptide and Aβ proteins, peptide therapeutics are found out to be suitable for the disease, as they are almost nontoxic,...

Overcoming drug resistance and minimizing off-target toxicity remain major challenges in cancer therapy. Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of regulated cell death driven by lipid peroxidation, has emerged as a promising therapeutic target. Natural chalcones exhibit antitumor properties linked to oxidative stress indu...
