Peripheral Ameloblastoma Resembling an Exophytic Gingival Lesion: A Report of a Rare Case.

Peripheral ameloblastoma is a rare, benign, slow-growing odontogenic neoplasm prevalent in the mandible. It originates from the odontogenic epithelium and its remnants, and its histological characteristics are identical to those of intraosseous ameloblastoma. It is less aggressive and invasive than its intraosseous variety, with a low recurrence rate.

A multidisciplinary analysis of over 53,000 fascioliasis patients along the 1995-2019 countrywide spread in Vietnam defines a new epidemiological baseline for One Health approaches.

Fascioliasis, only foodborne trematodiasis of worldwide distribution, is caused by and , liver flukes transmitted by freshwater snails. Southern and southeastern Asia is an emerging hot spot of , despite its hitherto less involvement in human infection. In Vietnam, increasing cases have been reported since 1995, whereas only sixteen throughout 1800-1994.

Lactam Truncation Yields a Dihydroquinazolinone Scaffold with Potent Antimalarial Activity that Targets PfATP4.

The emergence of resistance against current antimalarial treatments has necessitated the need for the development of novel antimalarial chemotypes. Toward this goal, we recently optimised the antimalarial activity of the dihydroquinazolinone scaffold and showed it targeted PfATP4. Here, we deconstruct the lactam moiety of the tricyclic dihydroquinazolinone scaffold and investigate the structure-activity relationship of the truncated scaffold.

Property and Activity Refinement of Dihydroquinazolinone-3-carboxamides as Orally Efficacious Antimalarials that Target PfATP4.

To contribute to the global effort to develop new antimalarial therapies, we previously disclosed initial findings on the optimization of the dihydroquinazolinone-3-carboxamide class that targets PfATP4. Here we report on refining the aqueous solubility and metabolic stability to improve the pharmacokinetic profile and consequently in vivo efficacy. We show that the incorporation of heterocycle systems in the 8-position of the scaffold was found to provide the greatest attainable balance between parasite activity, aqueous solubility, and metabolic stability.
