Background: The ability of cancer cells to be invasive and metastasize depend on several factors, of which the action of protease activity takes center stage in disease progression.

Purpose/objective: To analyze function of new K21 molecule in the invasive process of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cell line.

Materials & Methods: The Fusobacterium (ATCC 23726) streaks were made, and pellets were resuspended in Cal27 (ATCC CRL-2095) OSCC cell line spheroid cell microplate.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the protective activity of rutin, and its gold nanoparticles (Ru-AuNPs) in rhabdomyolysis-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) model in mice. Rutin (25 and 50 mg/kg) and Ru-AuNPs (15 and 25 mg/kg) were administered to the animals for four (4) days with water deprivation for 24 hours followed by 50% glycerol injection at the dose of 10 ml/kg intramuscularly. On the next day, animals were dissected and blood and kidneys were collected.

The attenuation of cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) in mice by N-(2-hydroxyphenyl) acetamide (NA-2) and NA-2-conjugated gold nanoparticles (NA2-AuNPs) was investigated. Male BALB/c mice (n = 54) were divided into nine groups having six animals in each group. Animals in groups 3-9 were pre-treated for 5 days with test compounds, whereas, animals in group 1 and 2 received normal saline.

The protective activity of N-(2-hydroxyphenyl)acetamide (NA-2) and NA-2-coated gold nanoparticles (NA-2-AuNPs) in glycerol-treated model of acute kidney injury (AKI) in mice was investigated. NA-2 (50 mg/kg) and NA-2-AuNPs (30 mg/kg) were given to the animals for four days followed by 24-h water deprivation and injection of 50% glycerol (10 ml/kg im). The animals were sacrificed on the next day.

Although the anti-diabetic activity of cinnamic acid, a pure compound from cinnamon, has been reported but its mechanism(s) is not yet clear. The present study was designed to explore the possible mechanism(s) of anti-diabetic activity of cinnamic acid in in vitro and in vivo non-obese type 2 diabetic rats. Non-obese type 2 diabetes was developed by injecting 90 mg/kg streptozotocin in 2-day-old Wistar pups.
