There is a molecular coupling between neurodegenerative diseases, including glaucomatous neurodegeneration (GN), Alzheimer's disease (AD), and Parkinson's disease (PD). Many cells in the eye and the brain have the right amount of 14-3-3 proteins (14-3-3 s) and their isoforms, such as β, ε, γ, η, θ, π, and γ. These cells include keratocytes, endothelial cells, corneal epithelial cells, and primary conjunctival epithelial cells.

Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is swiftly emerging as a prevalent clinical concern within the elderly demographic. Willoughby spearheaded the pioneering investigation into the evolution of memory decline spanning from the age of 20 to 70. Employing a computerized substitution examination, he pinpointed a zenith in memory prowess at the age of 22, signifying the shift from infancy, succeeded by a gradual decline in later years in 1929.

After a century since 1,3,4-oxadiazole was discovered, its uncommon potential attracted medicinal chemist's attention, leading to the discovery of a few presently accessible drugs containing 1,3,4-oxadiazole units, and a large number of patents have been granted on research related to 1,3,4-oxadiazole. It is worth noting that interest in 1,3,4-oxadiazoles' biological applications has doubled in the last few years.

All the synthesized compounds were characterized by thin layer chromatography and spectral analysis. The antiepileptic potential of the synthesized compounds has been tested by following standard animal screening models, including maximal electroshock (MES) and subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole (scPTZ) models.

It is characterized by cognitive dysfunction and an inability to perform daily activities. The progression of AD is associated with the accumulation of amyloid beta (Aβ), the formation of neurofibrillary tangles (NFT), increased oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and endoplasmic reticulum stress.

Myocardial infarction (MI), referred to as a heart attack, is a life-threatening condition that happens due to blood clots, typically, blood flow to a portion of the heart muscle is blocked. The cardiac muscle may become permanently damaged if there is insufficient oxygen and blood flow to the affected area. It's crucial to treat MI as soon as possible because even a small delay might have serious effects.

By promoting angiogenesis, immunological suppression, and invasion, CAFs speed up the growth of tumors by changing the extracellular matrix's structure and composition and/or initiating the epithelial cells (EPT). IL-33/ST2 signaling has drawn a lot of attention since it acts as a pro-tumor alarmin and encourages spread by altering TM.
