Mitigating effects of agmatine on myocardial infarction in rats subjected to isoproterenol.

Isoproterenol (ISO) usage is limited by its potential for cardiotoxicity. We sought to investigate the potential of agmatine in mitigating ISO-induced cardiotoxicity. Agmatine (100 mg/kg/day) was intraperitoneally administered to Wistar rats for 7 days in the presence or absence of cardiotoxicity induced by subcutaneous injection of ISO (85 mg/kg) on the sixth and seventh days.

Fast anisotropic growth of the biomineralized zinc phosphate nanocrystals for a facile and instant construction of laccase@Zn(PO) hybrid nanoflowers.

Organic-inorganic hybrid nanoflowers (HNFs) of laccase@Zn(PO) were fabricated through a facile, simple, and rapid one-step strategy. In this process, laccase was involved in nucleation and fast anisotropic growth reactions with Zn (II) and phosphate ions. The average pore size of the prepared HNFs was 54.

Novel Coumarin Containing Dithiocarbamate Derivatives as Potent α-Glucosidase Inhibitors for Management of Type 2 Diabetes.

Background: α-Glucosidase is a hydrolyzing enzyme that plays a crucial role in the degradation of carbohydrates and starch to glucose. Hence, α-glucosidase is an important target in carbohydrate mediated diseases such as diabetes mellitus.

Objective: In this study, novel coumarin containing dithiocarbamate derivatives 4a-n were synthesized and evaluated against α-glucosidase in vitro and in silico.

Biscoumarin-1,2,3-triazole hybrids as novel anti-diabetic agents: Design, synthesis, in vitro α-glucosidase inhibition, kinetic, and docking studies.

A novel series of biscoumarin-1,2,3-triazole hybrids 6a-n was prepared and evaluated for α-glucosidase inhibitory potential. All fourteen derivatives exhibited excellent α-glucosidase inhibitory activity with IC values ranging between 13.0 ± 1.
