Paracetamol has antipyretic and analgesic properties and it is widely used for fever and pain. However, paracetamol is partially metabolized to N-acetyl-p-benzoquinoneimine, which in overdose leads to liver necrosis, urging for safer paracetamol analogues. As the latter, new para-aminophenol derivatives containing fragments of acetic acid, saturated fatty acids and monoethanolamine were synthesized.

Current therapies are unable to completely eradicate the tumor, and the tumor cells that survive chemotherapy or radiation therapy often become more aggressive and resistant to further treatment, leading to inevitable relapses. While the antiproliferative effects of new therapeutic molecules are typically the primary focus of research, less attention is given to their influence on tumor cell migratory activity, which can play a significant role in recurrence.

The paper has described flow cytometry (FC) assessment of direct interactions of fluorescent anti-CD133 aptamers with cells, focusing on cell cultures derived from patient GB (CCPGB). Conventional cell lines with different levels of CD133 mRNA, Caco-2 and HCT116, were used to compare interactions with known 2'FY-RNA aptamer A15 and DNA aptamers of Ap and Cs series, labeled with FAM and Cy5.
