Diabetes mellitus has dominated the globe as a chronic health condition and has become a major global health concern. The inhibition of the key metabolic enzymes of carbohydrates digestion including α-amylase and α-glucosidase are the promising targets for the treatment of diabetes via delaying glucose absorption. Therefore, nitrogen containing saturated heterocycle (pyrrolidinyl, piperidinyl and N-methylpiperazinyl) based hydrazones derivatives 5-23 were synthesized through two step reactions and evaluated for their anti-diabetic potential.

This manuscript explores the potential of a series of novel -benzyl isatin based hydrazones (5-25), which were synthesized and evaluated as anti-breast cancer agents. The synthesized hydrazones of -benzyl isatin were screened against two cell lines, the MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell line and the MCF-10A breast epithelial cell line.

At low pH, this enzyme gives an ideal environment to Helicobacter pylori in the stomach which is the cause of gastric ulcers and peptic ulcers. In recent work, we have developed a library of 4-fluorocinnamaldehyde base thiosemicarbazones and assessed them for their potential against urease enzyme.

Glimepiride is an antidiabetic drug with a shorter half-life (approximately 5 hours), low bioavailability, and first-pass metabolism. Due to these limitations, it is required to maintain a uniform therapeutic level, and it has been chosen as a transdermal drug delivery approach.

An efficient immune system in the host body plays a crucial role in the preservation of normal biological and immune reactions and processes, as well as the intrinsic environment. This is because the immune system is responsible for fighting off foreign invaders. A healthy immune system strengthens the body's defense against infections, illnesses, and other unwelcome pathogens, thereby reducing the risk of allergic reactions and autoimmune diseases.

However, conventional oral dosage forms of MES face significant limitations, which reduce their effectiveness in managing these conditions. To overcome these challenges, advanced dosage forms of MES are essential.

Aim: Our aim was to assess the burden of children and adolescents' mental health problems on the Slovenian outpatient healthcare system before, during and after the pandemic.
Methods: In a retrospective analysis of healthcare indicators from 2008 to 2023, we analysed data from the National Institute of Public Health. Key domains included initial visits for mental and behavioural disorders (MBDs) to primary care for the population aged 0-19; the number of referrals to an initial assessment with a child and adolescent psychiatrist (CAP) at the secondary level for the population aged 0-17 along with the corresponding waiting times; and the number of urgent referrals for the population aged 0-17 to emergency mental health centres at the tertiary level.
Tyrosinase is an enzyme crucial for the progression of melanogenesis. Immoderate production of melanin may be the cause of hyperpigmentation and darkening leading to skin diseases. Tyrosinase is the most researched target for suppressing melanogenesis since it catalyzes the rate-limiting stage of melanin production.

The interfaces involving compact-TiO, mesoporous electron transport layer (ETL), and perovskite layer are particularly vital for high-performing devices. Our study presents a combined experimental and computational approach, specifically employing density functional theory, to explore the impact of mesoporous-ETL/perovskite interface properties on carrier transport.

While conventional peptide-based inhibitors have been a centerpiece, their limitations, such as restricted bioavailability, necessitate exploration of non-peptidic inhibitors for their therapeutic potential.
Method: This study focuses on designing, synthesizing, and assessing morpholine-based hydrazones targeting the catalytic serine residue of POP.
Introduction: The aromatase enzyme plays an important role in the progress of hormone-dependent breast cancer, especially in estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancers. In case of postmenopausal women, the aromatization of androstenedione to estrone in adipose tissue is the most important source of estrogen. Generally 60%-75% of pre- and post-menopausal women suffer from estrogen-dependent breast cancer, and thus suppressing estrogen has been recognized to be a successful therapy.
