Threatened miscarriage is a common complication of early pregnancy characterized by symptoms of vaginal bleeding with/without abdominal cramps/pain in the first trimester. Progestogens are often administered for management of this condition. Presented herein is the protocol of an ongoing, multicentric clinical trial to investigate the efficacy and safety of micronized progesterone (natural progestogen) compared to dydrogesterone (synthetic isomer of progesterone).

This study deals with the unprecedented reactivity of a [(cyclam)Mn(OTf)] (3-cis; OTf = CFSO) with O, which, depending on the presence or absence of a hydrogen atom donor like 1-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidine (TEMPO-H), selectively generates di-μ-oxo Mn(III)Mn(IV) (1) or Mn (2) complexes, respectively. Both dimers have been characterized by different techniques including single-crystal X-ray diffraction, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, and electron paramagnetic resonance. Oxygenation reactions carried out with labeled O and Resonance Raman spectroscopy unambiguously show that the oxygen atoms present in the MnMn dimer originate from O.

Article Synopsis
  • COVID-19, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, emerged as a major global health threat after being identified in late 2019, with the World Health Organization declaring the pandemic over on May 5, 2023.
  • Current management strategies for COVID-19 include vaccination and using repurposed medications like antimalarials and antibiotics to relieve symptoms linked to severe respiratory issues.
  • Despite attempts to repurpose antiviral drugs such as chloroquine and remdesivir for COVID-19 treatment, their inefficacy and side effects have limited their use, highlighting the ongoing challenge of dealing with this virus and its variants.
