Synthesis, in vivo evaluation, and in silico molecular docking of benzo[h]quinoline derivatives as potential Culex pipiens L. larvicides.

A new series of benzo[h]quinoline-containing heterocycles was synthesized via reactions of benzo[h]quinolinyl-2(3H)-furanone with some nitrogen bidentate nucleophiles, leading to the formation of pyridazinone, pyrrolinone, benzimidazole, and benzoxazinone derivatives. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their insecticidal activity against Culex pipiens L. larvae.

Rational design and synthesis of new pyrrolone candidates as prospective insecticidal agents against Culex pipiens L. Larvae.

As a result of its high reactivity, furan-2(3H)-one derivative 2 can be selected as a versatile and suitable candidate for building of novel nitrogen heterocyclic compounds. Consequently, furan-2(3H)-one derivative 2 and some nitrogen nucleophiles were utilized as starting materials for the formation of new pyridazinone and pyrrolone derivatives bearing naphthalene moiety. The continuous buildup of insecticide resistance is the main obstacle facing pest control measures.

The role of DNA topoisomerase 1α (AtTOP1α) in regulating arabidopsis meiotic recombination and chromosome segregation.

Meiosis is a critical process in sexual reproduction, and errors during this cell division can significantly impact fertility. Successful meiosis relies on the coordinated action of numerous genes involved in DNA replication, strand breaks, and subsequent rejoining. DNA topoisomerase enzymes play a vital role by regulating DNA topology, alleviating tension during replication and transcription.

Silymarin and management of liver function in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis: a case report.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its progressive form (non-alcoholic steatohepatitis; NASH) are the main reason for chronic liver disease in the general population, characterized by fat accumulation in hepatocytes (steatosis) and anomalies in liver biochemical analyses. To date, no pharmacological agents have been approved for NAFLD or NASH treatment. However, silymarin, the active ingredient in milk thistle, has been used in the last decades for the treatment of several liver diseases.
