A scenario of unhealthy life cycle: The role of circadian rhythms in health.

Circadian rhythms are oscillations in physiology and behavior caused by the circadian regulator. Cryptochromes, Periods, and Bmal1 are circadian clock genes that have been linked to aging and cancer. Human pathologies alter circadian clock gene expression, and transgenic rats with clock gene defects progress to cancer and age prematurely.

Marine Based Natural Products: Exploring the Recent Developments in the Identification of Antimicrobial Agents.

The marine ecosystem is the less explored, biologically diverse, and vastest resource to discover novel antimicrobial agents. In recent decades' antimicrobial drugs are losing their effectiveness due to the growing resistance among pathogens, which causes diseases to have considerable death rates across the globe. Therefore, there is a need for the discovery of new antibacterials that can reach the market.

Antibacterial natural products from microbial and fungal sources: a decade of advances.

Throughout the ages the world has witnessed the outbreak of many infectious diseases. Emerging microbial diseases pose a serious threat to public health. Increasing resistance of microorganisms towards the existing drugs makes them ineffective.

Novel 5-functionalized-pyrazoles: Synthesis, characterization and pharmacological screening.

In the present study a series of O-substituted pyrazoles 7(a-f) and N-substituted pyrazoles 9(a-f) were synthesized via phase-transfer catalyzed reaction of ethyl 5-(bromomethyl)-1,3-diphenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylate 5 with various oxygen and nitrogen containing compounds in presence of tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) in THF. The compound 5 was obtained by the efficient bromination with N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) in presence of a catalytic amount of azoiso-bis-butyro nitrile (AIBN) in refluxing CCl4. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their in vitro antimicrobial and antidiabetic activity and were compared with standard drugs.

Molecular docking of 1H-pyrazole derivatives to receptor tyrosine kinase and protein kinase for screening potential inhibitors.

Tyrosine kinase receptor and protein kinases drawn much attention for the scientific fraternity in drug discovery due to its important role in different cancer, cardiovascular diseases and other hyper-proliferative disorders. Docking studies of pyrazole derivatives with tyrosine kinase and different serine/threonine protein kinases were employed by using flexible ligand docking approach of AutoDock 4.2.

Novel pyrazole integrated 1,3,4-oxadiazoles: synthesis, characterization and antimicrobial evaluation.

A novel series of 2-(5-methyl-1,3-diphenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles 7(a-m) were synthesized either by cyclization of N'-benzoyl-5-methyl-1,3-diphenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbohydrazide 4a using POCl3 at 120°C or by oxidative cyclization of hydrazones derived from various arylaldehyde and (E)-N'-benzylidene-5-methyl-1,3-diphenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbohydrazide 5(a-d) using chloramine-T as oxidant. Newly synthesized compounds were characterized by analytical and spectral (IR, (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR and LC-MS) methods. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity and were compared with standard drugs.

Novel pyrazoline amidoxime and their 1,2,4-oxadiazole analogues: synthesis and pharmacological screening.

A novel series of pyrazoline amidoxime (2a-d) and pyrazoly-1,2,4-oxadiazole (3a-p) and (4) of pharmacological significance have been synthesised. Structures of newly synthesised compounds were characterized by spectral studies. New compounds were screened for their in vitro antioxidant, antimicrobial and antiinflammatory activities.
