The need for metal ion sensors is increasing daily due to the harmful impact of metal ions on human health, the environment, and the aquatic ecosystem. The present study highlights synthesizing an azomethine functionalized triazole allied organosilane (5a) probe as a turn-off fluorometric sensor for Sn(II) recognition with high anti-interference even when the other metal ions are present. The probe (5a) offers a detection limit of up to 6.

This study introduces a novel multitargeting strategy that combines carbonic anhydrase (CA) activators and cholinesterase (ChE) inhibitors to enhance cognitive functions. A series of tacrine-based derivatives with amine/amino acid moieties were synthesized and evaluated for their dual activity on brain CA isoforms and ChEs (AChE and BChE). Several derivatives, notably compounds , , , and , demonstrated potent CA activation, particularly of hCA II and VII, and strong ChE inhibition with subnanomolar to low nanomolar IC values.

Article Synopsis
  • Dengue is a mosquito-borne virus that significantly impacts public health in tropical and subtropical areas, and this study examines its effects on pregnancy outcomes.
  • A systematic review included 20 studies to analyze the relationship between maternal dengue infection and adverse birth outcomes like preterm birth, low birth weight, small for gestational age, stillbirth, and postpartum hemorrhage.
  • The findings showed a higher prevalence of preterm birth (18.3%) and low birth weight (17.1%) among affected pregnancies, though these were not statistically significant, while stillbirth demonstrated a noteworthy correlation in certain studies, indicating a need for more research on this topic.
