Article Synopsis
  • Geriatric patients with brittle type 2 diabetes often face complications like hypoglycemia, and Automated Insulin Delivery (AID) systems may improve their glycemic control.
  • A study involving 34 elderly patients switching from multiple-dose insulin to AID systems showed significant reductions in HbA1c levels and total insulin doses after six months.
  • Results indicate that even frail patients, including those undergoing chemotherapy and steroids, can benefit from AID systems, leading to better diabetes management.

The current study focuses on the synthesis and characterization of six benzenesulfonamide-based Schiff base derivatives (7-12) with various electron-withdrawing and electron-donating substituents (-F, -CI, -Br, -CH, and -OCH) and the assessment of their antiproliferative activities against human lung (A549) and liver (HepG2) cancer cell lines using in vitro and in silico approaches. The structures of the synthesized compounds (7-12) were elucidated by elemental analysis and FT-IR, 1D (H, C, APT, and DEPT-135), and 2D (HMQC and HMBC) NMR spectroscopies. The cytotoxic activities of the targeted compounds were determined at various concentrations against these cancer cell lines for 72 h, using the MTT method.

The spatiotemporal pattern of surface displacements from large earthquakes provides crucial insights about the deformation of Earth's crust at various scales and the interactions among tectonic plates. However, the lack of extensive and large-scale geodetic networks near such seismic events hinders our thorough understanding of the large-scale crustal deformation resulting from earthquakes. Using Türkiye's extensive and continuous global navigation satellite system (GNSS) network during the moment magnitude 7.

In this study, some new hydrazone derivatives (2a-g) was designed, synthesized for first time, and evaluated as multitarget inhibitors of AChE, BChE, hCA I and hCA II. The chemical structures of new hybrids were confirmed by elemental analysis and some spectroscopic techniques. All tested compounds showed low nanomolar inhibition with IC values of in the range of 30.

In this paper, we present the synthesis and characterization of two known sulfonyl hydrazides ( and ) and their new sulfonyl hydrazone derivatives (-), as well as in vitro and in silico investigations of their cytotoxic properties against human lung (A549) and human breast (MCF-7) cancer cell lines. The target compounds (-) obtained in high yields were synthesized for the first time by a multi-step reaction, and their structures were confirmed by elemental analysis and various spectral techniques, including FT-IR, H-, and C-NMR. The antiproliferative profiles of these compounds (, , and -) in this study were determined at concentrations of 200, 100, 50, and 25 µM against selected cancer cell lines for 72 h using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) method.
