This study introduces a new and simple method for the synthesis of a series of 3-(benzo[]thiazol-2-yl)-5-phenylisoxazole derivatives 3(a-f), and examines its potential interactions with DNA. The synthesis includes the reaction of 2-aminobenzenethiol (1) with a variety of substituted 5-phenylisoxazole-3-carbaldehydes 2(a-f) in the presence of a cost-effective and reusable nanocatalyst, Calcium-Zincate (CaZnO). The CaZnO catalyst showed a consistent and long-lasting catalytic activity over several reaction cycles and retained its unique heterogeneous properties.

The most common histological subtypes are papillary and follicular variants; these are "differentiated thyroid cancers" and are associated with an excellent prognosis. The exact mechanism of thyroid cancer is not known.

Here, we report the characterization of a GGPPS (CrGGPPS2) from the Madagascar periwinkle (Catharanthus roseus) and demonstrate its role in monoterpene (C )-indole alkaloids (MIA) biosynthesis. The expression of CrGGPPS2 was not induced in response to methyl jasmonate (MeJA), and was similar to the gene encoding type-I protein geranylgeranyltransferase_β subunit (CrPGGT-I_β), which modulates MIA formation in C.

Aims And Objectives: Study objectives were to assess the effect of in preventing the diseases in (monsoon) and its effect on the WHO quality of life BREF (QOL BREF), total leukocyte count (TLC), differential count (DC) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) in healthy volunteers.

Context: It is important to evaluate the role of stromal myofibroblasts (MFs) in carcinogenesis and also as a predictive marker for lymph node (LN) metastasis at the invasive front of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).
Aims: To demonstrate the expression of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) by MFs in the tissues of oral leukoplakia (OL) with dysplasia and OSCC. To record and compare the distribution of MFs in OSCC with LN metastasis and without LN metastasis.
