In this investigation, to determine their potential as specific antibacterial agents, Schiff's bases (LT-SB1-23 and SB1-SB12) and novel quinoline-isatin hybrids were subjected to microbiological testing. The in-vitro screening against bacterial strains (Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Salmonella typhi) exhibited their antibacterial potential with many of the compounds showing inhibition range of 90-100 % at 200 μg/mL, against most of the tested strains. The MIC values of some of the compounds showed good antibacterial efficacy with values ranging from 32 to 128 μg/mL.

We report the design, synthesis, and validation of carboxamide-based pyrazole and isoxazole conjugates with a multifaceted activity against Breast Cancer Cell Line MDA-MB-231. The study established that amongst the series, N-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzyl)-3-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxamide (5g) exhibits the highest potency in inhibiting Breast Cancer Cell Line MDA-MB-231 with an IC value of 15.08 ± 0.

The nuclear receptor Nur77 is a transcription factor belonging to the NR4A subfamily. Upon activation, it regulates a wide array of biological and pathophysiological processes by modulating the expression of its target genes. Previous findings have classified Nur77 as an orphan receptor because of the discovery of a structurally atypical ligand-binding domain and the lack of identification of an endogenous ligand.

Breast cancer (BC) has emerged as the most common malignancy among females. The genomic profile of BC is diverse in nature and complex due to heterogeneity among various geographically different ethnic groups. The primary objective of this study was to carry out a comprehensive mutational analysis of Indian BC cases by performing whole exome sequencing.
