Copigmentation effect on red cabbage anthocyanins, investigation of their cellular viability and interaction mechanism.

Anthocyanins (ANS) are an appealing substitute to synthetic colorants; but their practical applicability is limited due to low color stability. Copigmentation can improve both complex's color stability as well as intensity. In this study, we examined the interaction of red cabbage ANS with copigments i.

MDbDMRP: A novel molecular descriptor-based computational model to identify drug-miRNA relationships.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important in gene expression regulation and many other biological processes and have emerged as promising therapeutic targets. Identifying potential drug-miRNA relationships is helpful in disease therapy and pharmaceutical engineering in medical research. However, accurately predicting these relationships remains a significant computational challenge.

Discovery of Gene Fusions in Driver-Negative Cancer Samples From the National Cancer Institute-Molecular Analysis for Therapy Choice Screening Cohort.

Purpose: The National Cancer Institute-Molecular Analysis for Therapy Choice (NCI-MATCH) trial was implemented to identify actionable genetic alterations across cancer types and enroll patients accordingly onto treatment arms, irrespective of tumor histology. Using multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) next-generation sequencing, NCI-MATCH genotyped 5,540 patients, discovering gene fusions in 202/5,540 tumors (3.65%).

Patient-Reported Outcomes of Pain, Stiffness, and Fatigue Reduction in Rheumatoid and Psoriatic Arthritis With Cannabinoid Use.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) are autoimmune conditions that can progressively destroy joints, causing chronic, often debilitating pain, and drastically affecting the quality of life. Novel pharmaceutical remedies have recently been developed, which allow for better symptom management. However, the complex pain experienced is challenging to control fully, leading this patient population to seek alternative treatments.

Novel pyrrolone-fused benzosuberene MK2 inhibitors: synthesis, pharmacophore modelling, molecular docking, and anti-cancer efficacy evaluation in HNSCC cells.

Head and neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) is a growing concern worldwide and MAPKAPK2/MK2 (Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Activated Protein Kinase 2) is crucially involved in HNSCC progression. Increased disease burden and lacuna of targeted therapies require novel and safe pharmacological inhibitors to suppress the well-explored molecular targets in HNSCC. Here, we used dibromo-substituted benzosuberene synthesized from the mixture of α, β, γ-himachalenes and utilized as a precursor for the synthesis of Pyrrolone-fused benzosuberenes (PfBS) as MK2 inhibitors through aminocarbonylation approach in a single-pot reaction.
