In this study, a new family of ethacrynic acid-sulfonamides and indazole-sulfonamides was synthesized and tested in vitro against MDA-MB-468 triple-negative breast cancer cells and PBMCs human peripheral blood mononuclear cells, using the MTT (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5 diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) assay. The aim of this research is to discover novel compounds with potential therapeutic effects on breast cancer. The antiproliferative activity of these compounds showed a significant dose-dependent activity, with IC values ranging between 2.

In alignment with Morocco's national strategy for eliminating viral hepatitis, we aimed to characterize and update the virological profile of chronic hepatitis B patients. Demographic, serological and molecular parameters of 804 HBsAg-positive patients were retrospectively analyzed. Overall, 58.

Article Synopsis
  • COVID-19 can trigger an immune response called a cytokine storm, which this study investigates by looking at 27 protein biomarkers in patient serum to understand their relationship with disease severity.
  • The study involved 89 COVID-19 patients at various severity levels and 14 healthy individuals, using a Luminex assay to measure cytokine and chemokine levels.
  • Findings show that certain interleukins (like IL-6 and IL-10) are elevated in more severe cases, while others (like IL-12 and IL-2) are absent in asymptomatic patients, reinforcing the link between high cytokine levels and disease progression.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a global public health burden and affects approximatively 300 million people around the world. Since, HBV population is represented with genetic diversity, having different viral effects. Development of a new prognosis method play a key role on the efficiency of the different treatment.

The present work describes the synthesis of a new triazole based ligand 3-(3,5-dimethyl-1-pyrazol-1-yl)-1-methyl-1-1,2,4-triazole (LM) and demonstration of its coordination diversity giving rise to a family of seven new coordination complexes, namely: [Ni(LM)](ClO)·CHOS (5), [Co(LM)](ClO)·(CH)O (6), [Cd(LM)Cl] (7), [Cu(LM)NO]NO (8), [Fe(LM)](BF) (9), [Zn(LM)](BF) (10) and [Zn(LM)NO]NO (11), whose crystal structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Cytotoxic activity was evaluated against the MDA-MB-468 cancer cell line, which serves as a model for triple-negative breast cancer, and compared to the precursor molecule (L), as well as their coordination complexes (HO){[NiL](ClO)} (1), [CoL](ClO)·2HO (2), [CdLCl] (3) and [CuL](NO) (4), for which the crystal structure was earlier determined. Notably, cadmium complexes 3 and 7 exhibit remarkable cytotoxicity and demonstrated a high selectivity index towards cancer cells when compared to peripheral blood mononuclear cells.
