The chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) Paradigm: Bridging the gap in depression research from bench to bedside.

Depression is a complicated neuropsychiatric condition with an incompletely understoodetiology, making the discovery of effective therapies challenging. Animal models have been crucial in improving our understanding of depression and enabling antidepressant medication development. The CUMS model has significant face validity since it induces fundamental depression symptoms in humans, such as anhedonia, behavioral despair, anxiety, cognitive impairments, and changes in sleep, food, and social behavior.

Therapeutic Potential of Thiophene Compounds: A Mini-Review.

A rising number of researchers are interested in thiophene-based analogs as they have wide possibilities of biological potential in the largely developing chemical world of the heterocyclic moiety. It also occupies a central position in synthetic organic chemistry and is of the highest theoretical and practical importance. It became an important moiety for researchers to discover combinatorial libraries and implement the efforts in search of the lead entity.
