In this study, we propose identifying potential novel compounds targeting carbonic anhydrase I and II. Herein, we have designed and synthesized new benzimidazole-hydrazide-hydrazones derivatives (4a-4r) to investigate the effects of these synthesized compounds on CA isoenzymes. The compounds' H NMR, C NMR, and HRMS spectra were used to confirm their chemical structures.

In this study, a series of new benzimidazole-thiadiazole hybrids were synthesized, and the synthesized compounds were screened for their antimicrobial activities against eight species of pathogenic bacteria and three fungal species. Azithromycin, voriconazole, and fluconazole were used as reference drugs in the mtt assay. Among them, compounds and showed potent antifungal activity against with a MIC of 3.

In this study, with an aim to develop novel heterocyclic hybrids as potent enzyme inhibitors, we synthesized a series of 10 novel 2-(4-(4-ethyl-5-(2-(substitutedphenyl)-2-oxo-ethylthio)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)-phenyl)-5,6-dimethyl-1H-benzimidazole (5a-5j) derivatives and characterized by H-NMR, C-NMR, and HRMS. These compounds were evaluated for their inhibitory activity against hCA I and hCA II. All the compounds exhibited good hCA I and hCA II inhibitory activities with IC values in range of 1.

In this study, some new compounds, which are 2-aminothiadiazole derivatives linked by a phenyl bridge to the 2-position of the benzimidazole ring, were designed and synthesized as antimicrobial agents. The structures of the compounds were elucidated by H and C NMR spectroscopy, high-resolution mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis. The antifungal activities of the synthesized compounds were tested on , , , and .

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on carbonic anhydrases (CAs), important metalloenzymes linked to various diseases, targeting them for new drug development to create inhibitors or activators.
  • Researchers synthesized new benzimidazole-hydrazone derivatives and confirmed their structures, testing their ability to inhibit human carbonic anhydrase isoenzymes I and II through in vitro assays.
  • Results showed that the most effective compound, 3p, had an IC value of 1.684 μM and exhibited noncompetitive inhibition, indicating promising potential as a treatment in comparison to existing medications like acetazolamide.

In this study, two novel series of thiazolylhydrazone derivatives containing 4-ethylpiperazine () and 4-methoxyphenylpiperazine (-) side chains were synthesized and their structures were characterized by spectral (H NMR, C NMR, and MS spectra) analyses. inhibitory activities of synthesized compounds against acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) were determined by Ellman method. According to the results, all compounds showed a weak inhibitory effect on AChE, while promising results were obtained on BChE.

Breast cancer is the most frequent female cancer and second cause of cancer-related deaths among women around the world. Two thirds of breast cancer patients have hormone-dependent tumors, which is very likely be treated with hormonal therapy. Aromatase is involved in the biosynthesis of estrogen thus a critical target for breast cancer.

The aim of this study was to compare the clinical and immunological results of nonsurgical periodontal treatment with or without the erbium, chromium:yttrium-scandium-gallium-garnet (Er,Cr:YSGG) laser. As lasers have begun to be used in dentistry, the Er,Cr:YSGG laser has started to attract attention in the field of periodontology. Fifty-nine nonsmoking patients with advanced chronic periodontitis were randomly allocated to a test group (full-mouth ultrasonic supra- and subgingival debridement+Er,Cr:YSGG laser application) and a control group (full-mouth ultrasonic supra- and subgingival debridement+root planing with Gracey curettes).
