RESUMEN
Breast cancer (BC) is a kind of malignant cancer in women, and it has become the most diagnosed cancer worldwide since 2020. Histone methylation is a common biological epigenetic modification mediating varieties of physiological and pathological processes. Lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1), a first identified histone demethylase, mediates the removal of methyl groups from histones H3K4me1/2 and H3K9me1/2 and plays a crucial role in varieties of cancer progression. It is also specifically amplified in breast cancer and contributes to BC tumorigenesis and drug resistance via both demethylase and non-demethylase manners. This review will provide insight into the overview structure of LSD1, summarize its action mechanisms in BC, describe the therapeutic potential of LSD1 inhibitors in BC, and prospect the current opportunities and challenges of targeting LSD1 for BC therapy.
RESUMEN
Three new cyclohexadepsipeptides, oryzamides A-C (1-3), two isolation artifacts, oryzamides D (4) and E (5), and the known congener scopularide A (6), all possessing a rare 3-hydroxy-4-methyldecanoic acid (HMDA) substructure, were isolated from the mycelial extract of the sponge-derived fungus Nigrospora oryzae PF18. Their planar structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis and comparison with the literature data. The absolute configurations were determined using the advanced Marfey's method and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Among them, oryzamides D (4) and E (5) were a pair of diastereomers at the sulfur atom of the l-methionine sulfoxide residue, which showcased the possible separation of a pair of methionine sulfoxide diastereomers. The X-ray crystal structure of scopularide A (6) was obtained for the first time, thereby establishing its relative and absolute configuration at C-4 of the HMDA residue. Oryzamides A-C (1-3) did not display cytotoxic, antibacterial, antiparasitic, and NF-κB inhibitory activities.

Chemical investigation on CH2Cl2 extract of the marine sponge Diacarnus megaspinorhabdosa resulted in the isolation of two new farnesylacetone derivatives 1-2, a new γ-lactone 3, a known dinorditerpenone 4 and four known norsesterterpene peroxides 5-8. Their structures were elucidated by using one and two dimensional (1D and 2D)-NMR, high resolution-electrospray ionization (HR-ESI)-MS, and comparison with the literature. Compounds 1 and 2 were cis/trans-olefinic isomers and determined through nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (NOESY) experiment. The absolute configuration of 3 was established by comparison of circular dichroism (CD) data with known lactones. The cytotoxic activities of the compounds were evaluated against five cancer cell lines, and compound 3 showed moderate cytotoxicity activities against cancer cell lines HeLa, H446, NCI-H460, SGC-7901 and MCF-7, with IC50 values in the range of 18.5 to 47.1 µM.
