Nitroimidazoles Part 10. Synthesis, crystal structure, molecular docking, and anticancer evaluation of 4-nitroimidazole derivatives combined with piperazine moiety.

Piperazine-tagged imidazole derivatives (symmetrical di-substituted piperazine) and - were synthesized through the combination of 4-nitroimidazole derivatives with piperazine moiety. The structural characterization was done by different physical and spectral techniques like NMR (H and C) and mass spectrometry. The constituency of compound was confirmed by X-ray structural analyses.

Relative performance of surveys for the Old World screwworm fly, Chrysomya bezziana, in Iraq based on fly trapping and myiasis monitoring.

Fly traps are being used to monitor populations of Old World screwworm (OWS) flies in Iraq. We evaluated trapping systems for seasonality and trap type and compared the results with monitoring of OWS flies using myiases on animals. Fly catches increased during spring and autumn with low catches during the hot, dry summer and the cold winter.
