Background: Robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) is widely used as the main surgical approach to treat prostate cancer in the United States. Prostate size is often described as a factor affecting the outcomes of RARP as shown by many studies. However, these studies are limited to a small number of patients.

Dengue fever, caused by the dengue virus and transmitted by mosquitoes, poses a significant global health threat, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. Severe cases can manifest as dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) or dengue shock syndrome, leading to complications such as plasma leakage, fluid accumulation, respiratory distress, severe bleeding, and organ impairment. Among these complications, gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is particularly concerning due to its potential to rapidly deteriorate the patient's condition.

Introduction: A series of benzylidene derivatives of fenobam and its thio analogues (1-22) have been evaluated for their cytotoxicity against breast cancer (MCF-7, MDA-MB-231), ovarian cancer (A2780, SKOV-3) and cervical cancer (HELA) cell lines.

Method: These compounds (1-22) exhibited 72-83% inhibition of Erk activity against the ovarian cancer cell line (A2780). Compounds 3 and 20 showed the highest DNA damage effect in Comet Assay against the A2780 cancer cell line as compared to the other tested analogues (4, 8, 11, 12, and 13) by using % Tail DNA and OTM.

Aims: This study aimed at the synthesis of several spiro[benzofuran-3,3'-pyrroles] derivatives by a three-component reaction conducted by mixing DMAD, N-bridgehead het-erocycles, and benzofuran-2,3-diones in dichloromethane at room temperature for 24 h. Moreover, in vitro evaluation of their cytotoxicity affinities against FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 was carried out.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to use a one-pot, three-component reaction to synthesize a novel set of spiro[benzofuran-3,3'-pyrroles] derivatives.
