Dysregulation of choline phospholipid metabolism and overexpression of phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C (PC-PLC) is implicated in various cancers. Current known enzyme inhibitors include compounds based on a 2-morpholino-5--benzylamino benzoic acid, or hydroxamic acid, scaffold. In this work, 81 compounds were made by modifying this core structure to explore the pharmacophore.

The natural history of AM diagnosed on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI) may be different to historic cohorts due to the detection of milder disease. This study aims to measure the outcome of patients with AM detected by cMRI.

This study investigates the clinical efficacy of a physiological model-based ventilatory decision support system (DSS) to personalize ventilator therapy in ARDS patients.
Methods: This international, multicenter, randomized, open-label study enrolled patients with ARDS during the COVID-19 pandemic.
