Trace elements in fish species from the Punjnad headworks: Bioaccumulation and human health risk assessment.

Aquatic toxicology, as a result of industrial and agrieqcultural effluences, has become a global concern impacting not only the well-being of aquatic organisms but human health as well. The current study evaluated the impact of four toxic trace elements (TTEs) Cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), and nickel (Ni) in three organs (liver, gills, and muscles) of five fish species viz, Rita rita, Sperata sarwari, Wallago attu, Mastacembelus armatus, and Cirrhinus mrigala collected from right and left banks of Punjnad headworks during winter, spring, and summer. We investigated the accumulation (mg/kg) of these TTEs in fish in addition to the human health risk assessment.

Synthesis of Chromene-linked Bis-indole Derivatives as Selective Tumor-associated Carbonic Anhydrase IX Inhibitors.

Background: Sulfonamide derivatives are well-reported hCA IX inhibitors; however, they inhibit all types of hCA without any selectivity, leading to severe adverse effects. Hence, developing a novel nonsulfonamide class of tumor-associated hCA IX inhibitors through non-classical inhibition may provide greater selectivity and better pharmacokinetics.

Objective: The objective of this study was to develop non-sulfonamide derivatives as potential human carbonic anhydrase (hCA) inhibitors and develop a new series of chromene-linked bis-indole derivatives.

Photophysical Investigation of One Pot Synthesized Novel Indenofluorene Derivative (BDP) as a Fluorescent Chemosensor for the Detection of Fe Ion.

An Indane-1-one derivative 11-(1-benzyl-1H-indol-3-yl)-10,12-dihydrodiindeno[1,2-b:2',1'-e]-pyridine (BDP) has been synthesized by the reaction of Indan-1-one with 1-benzyl-1H-indole-3-carbaldehyde. FT-IR, H-NMR, N-NMR and Mass spectroscopic techniques has been used to confirmed the structure of BDP. The observed photophysical changes in BDP across various solvents were associated.

Design, synthesis and in vitro evaluation of novel thiazole-coumarin hybrids as selective and potent human carbonic anhydrase IX and XII inhibitors.

The coumarin is one of the most promising classes of non-classical carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.
