Molecular docking and / studies of a novel thiadiazole Schiff base as a hepatoprotective drug against angiogenesis induced by breast cancer.

Two new thiadiazole imidazolium salicylidene Schiff bases (TISSBs) were successfully synthesized, and their structures were analyzed comprehensively using spectroscopic techniques. The results of the MTT assay showed that TISSB2 was the safest and most effective anti-breast cancer agent. The anti-angiogenic activity of TISSB2 was evaluated using tests in Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC)-bearing Swiss albino mice.

Computational metal-flavonoids complexes presentation of greenly synthesized silver nanoparticles combined flavonoids from as anticancer agents using BcL-2 and IspC proteins.

, has been widely recognized for its medical applications. LC-ESI-TOF-MS identified 22 secondary metabolites including phenolics, flavonoids, and anthocyanidin glycosides among its total extract (LCTE). The study aimed to apply LCTE as a biogenic material for reducing and capping the silver nanoparticles (LC-AgNPs).

New multifunctional hybrids as modulators of apoptosis markers and topoisomerase II in breast cancer therapy: synthesis, characterization, and and studies.

Recently, molecular hybrids of two or more active pharmacophores have shown promise for designing and synthesizing anticancer drugs. Herein, a new multifunctional hybrid (PAHMQ), combining azobenzene and quinoline pharmacophores, and its M(ii) complexes (MPAHMQ) have been successfully developed and structurally characterized. The MTT assay revealed CuBHTP as the most efficient and safe breast cancer treatment, with an IC of 11.

Bio-molecular Fe(III) and Zn(II) complexes stimulate the interplay between PI3K/AKT1/EGFR inhibition and induce autophagy and apoptosis in epidermal skin cell cancer.

This study investigated the effectiveness and safety of a hybrid thiosemicarbazone ligand (HL) and its metal complexes (Mn-L, Fe-L, Ni-HL, and Zn-HL) against epidermoid carcinoma (A-431). The results indicated that Fe-L is the most effective, with a high selectivity index of 8.01 and an IC of 17.

Jacq. mediated green synthesis of silver nanoparticles: synthesis, characterization, and biological activities supported by molecular docking.

This study uses the aerial parts of total extract (PMTE) to synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in an environmentally friendly manner. TEM, SEM, FTIR, X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Zeta potential, UV, and FTIR were used to characterize the green silver nanoparticles (PM-AgNPs). PM-AgNPs were evaluated as anticancer agents compared to (PMTE) against breast (MCF-7), lung (A549), and ovary adenocarcinoma (SKOV3) human tumour cells.

Examining the quaternary ammonium chitosan Schiff base-ZnO nanocomposite's potential as protective therapy for rats' cisplatin-induced hepatotoxicity.

Background: Despite cisplatin's long history as a cornerstone in cancer therapy, both acquired chemoresistance and significant impacts on healthy tissues limit its use. Hepatotoxicity is one of its side effects. Adjunct therapies have shown promise in not only attenuating liver damage caused by cisplatin but also in enhancing the efficacy of chemotherapy.

Revisiting macrophages in ovarian cancer microenvironment: development, function and interaction.

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are an important component of the tumor microenvironment (TME) and have been linked to immunosuppression and poor prognosis. TAMs have been shown to be harmful in ovarian cancer (OC), with a positive correlation between their high levels of tumors and poor overall patient survival. These cells are crucial in the progression and chemoresistance of OC.

High Seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 IgG and RNA among Asymptomatic Blood Donors in Makkah Region, Saudi Arabia.

The gold-standard approach for diagnosing and confirming Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection is reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). This method, however, is inefficient in detecting previous or dormant viral infections. The presence of antigen-specific antibodies is the fingerprint and cardinal sign for diagnosis and determination of exposure to infectious agents including Corona virus disease-2019 (COVID-19).

A Nanoinformatics Approach to Evaluate the Pharmacological Properties of Nanoparticles for the Treatment of Alzheimer's Disease.

Background: Alzheimer's disease is a destructive nervous system disease which causes structural, biochemical and electrical abnormalities inside the human brain and results due to genetic and various environmental factors. Traditional therapeutic agents of Alzheimer's disease such as tacrine and physostigmine have been found to cause adverse effects to the nervous system and gastrointestinal tract. Nanomaterials like graphene, metals, carbon-nanotubes and metal-oxides are gaining attention as potential drugs against Alzheimer's disease due to their properties such as large surface area, which provide clinical efficiency, targeted drug designing and delivery.
