Study Objectives: Rapid growth in childhood predisposes to obesity and cardiometabolic diseases in adulthood. While obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is bidirectionally linked to obesity, its developmental origins are sparsely studied. We examined associations between postnatal growth and the risk of OSA in adulthood.

Four new mononuclear gold (I) compounds of the type [AuL{κC-2-CHP(S)Ph}] {L = PTA (1), PPh (2), PPh(CH-3-SONa) (3), and PPh(2-py) (4)} were prepared by scission of the dinuclear compound [Au{μ-2-CHP(S)Ph}] by L or via a transmetalation reaction using the organotin reagent 2-MeSnCHP(S)Ph and a suitable gold halide precursor. The cytotoxic potential of complexes 1-4 was evaluated against four human cancer cell lines of diverse cellular origin: cervical (HeLa), prostate (PC-3), non-small cell lung adenocarcinoma (A549), and fibrosarcoma (HT-1080). The in vitro cytotoxicity results showed that 1 demonstrated exceptional anticancer activity with IC values ranging from 0.
