OCA16. Annotation of the output in EnglishPyrrolidines are currently among the most intensively studied nitrogen-containing compounds due to their diverse pharmacological properties, including antitumor activity. This study investigates the pro-oxidative effects and autophagy-inducing potential of pyrrolidine SS13 in colorectal cancer cell lines HCT116 and Caco-2. Using flow cytometry, qRT-PCR, fluorescence microscopy, and Western blot analysis, the study demonstrated that SS13 induces oxidative stress through the accumulation of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, modulates the levels of superoxide dismutase isoenzymes (SOD1 and SOD2), and activates DNA damage response pathways. Importantly, SS13 triggers autophagy, as evidenced by increased levels of autophagy markers (p-AMPK, p-ULK, LC3I/II, and ATG7) and decreased levels of the p62 protein. The cytotoxic effect of SS13 was reduced in the presence of chloroquine, confirming its role in autophagy-mediated cell death. These findings suggest that SS13 exerts antiproliferative effects through oxidative stress and autophagy activation. The results support the need for further in vivo and ex vivo studies to explore the therapeutic potential of pyrrolidine derivatives in the treatment of colorectal cancer

OCA18. Characteristics of the output's impact on socio-economic practiceThe findings of this study on the pro-oxidative and autophagy-inducing effects of pyrrolidine SS13 in colorectal cancer cells have the potential to significantly impact socio-economic practice. If the efficacy and safety of this compound are confirmed in further preclinical and clinical studies, SS13 could serve as a foundation for the development of a new targeted anticancer drug. This may lead to improved treatment options for patients with colorectal cancer, reduced treatment costs due to more effective therapy, and consequently, a lower burden on the healthcare system.
