This study focused on designing and synthesizing novel derivatives of 3,5,8-trisubstituted coumarin. The synthesized compounds, particularly compound , exhibited significant cytotoxic effects on MCF-7 cells, surpassing staurosporine, and reduced toxicity toward MCF-10A cells, highlighting potential pharmacological advantages. Further, compound altered the cell cycle and significantly increased apoptosis in MCF-7 cells, involving both early (41.

As the incidence of breast cancer statistics continues to rise, it is imperative to explore new avenues in the ongoing battle against this disease.

Breast cancer is a global health concern, with increasing disease burden and disparities in access to healthcare. Late diagnosis and limited treatment options in underserved areas contribute to poor outcomes. In response to this challenge, we developed a novel family of 2-substituted-quinoxaline analogues, combining coumarin and quinoxaline scaffolds known for their anticancer properties.

Objectives: To compare the effects of 3 ventilation strategies during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) on arterial oxygenation and postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs).
Design: A prospective, randomized, controlled study.
Setting: A single-center tertiary teaching hospital.
Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) have been proposed as carriers for drugs to improve their intrinsic therapeutic activities and to overcome pharmacokinetic problems. In this study, novel nanosystems constituted by a model β-diketo acid (DKA) grafted to the surface of GNPs were designed and synthesized following the "multivalent high-affinity" binding strategy. These first nanoscale DKA prototypes showed improved inhibition of HIV-1 integrase (HIV-1 IN) catalytic activities as compared with free DKA ligands.
