New reverse sum Revan indices for physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties of anti-filovirus drugs.

Ebola and Marburg viruses, biosafety level 4 pathogens, cause severe hemorrhaging and organ failure with high mortality. Although some FDA-approved vaccines or therapeutics like Ervebo for Zaire Ebola virus exist, still there is a lack of effective therapeutics that cover all filoviruses, including both Ebola and Marburg viruses. Therefore, some anti-filovirus drugs such as Pinocembrin, Favipiravir, Remdesivir and others are used to manage infections.

Micro nutrients as immunomodulators in the ageing population: a focus on inflammation and autoimmunity.

Immunosenescence, the slow degradation of immune function over time that is a hallmark and driver of aging, makes older people much more likely to be killed by common infections (such as flu) than young adults, but it also contributes greatly to rates of chronic inflammation in later life. Such micro nutrients are crucial for modulating effective immune responses and their deficiencies have been associated with dysfunctional immunity in the elderly. In this review, we specifically focused on the contribution of major micro nutrients (Vitamins A, D and E, Vitamin C; Zinc and Selenium) as immunomodulators in ageing population especially related to inflame-ageing process including autoimmunity.

Delineating Notch1 and Notch2: Receptor-Specific Significance and Therapeutic Importance of Pinpoint Targeting Strategies for Hematological Malignancies.

Notch1 and Notch2, transmembrane receptors belonging to the Notch family, are pivotal mediators of intercellular communication and have profound implications including cell fate determination, embryonic development, and tissue homeostasis in various cellular processes. Despite their structural homology, Notch1 and Notch2 exhibit discrete phenotypic characteristics and functional nuances that necessitate their individualized targeting in specific medical scenarios. Aberrant Notch signaling, often driven by the dysregulated activity of one receptor over the other, is implicated under various pathological conditions.

C(sp)-C(sp) Coupling of Cycloalkanes and Alkyl Halides via Dual Photocatalytic Hydrogen Atom Transfer and Nickel Catalysis.

Functionalization of C(sp)-H bonds represents the most straightforward and atom-economical transformation in organic synthesis. An innovative approach integrating photocatalytic hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) and transition metal catalysis has made significant progress in the coupling of α-heterosubstituted C-H bonds with alkyl halides. However, unactivated alkanes were ineffective as a result of the preponderance of byproduct formation.
