Structural, CSD, Molecular Docking, Molecular Dynamics, and Hirshfeld Surface Analysis of a New Mesogen, Methyl-4-(5-(4-(octyloxy)phenyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)benzoate.

1,2,4-Oxadiazoles are well recognized for their exceptional physical, chemical, and pharmacokinetic properties, making them promising candidates for various therapeutic applications. These include treatments for cystic fibrosis, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Alzheimer's disease, and a broad spectrum of other therapeutic interventions such as antituberculosis, anticancer, antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, and anticonvulsant activities. In this study, single crystals of a novel 1,2,4-oxadiazole derivative, methyl-4-(5-(4-(octyloxy)phenyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)benzoate, were grown by a slow evaporation technique.

Therapeutic potential of dietary bioactive compounds against anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 proteins in breast cancer.

Breast cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality among women worldwide. One of its defining features is resistance to apoptosis, driven by aberrant expression of apoptosis-related proteins, notably the overexpression of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 proteins. These proteins enable breast cancer cells to evade apoptosis and develop resistance to chemotherapy, underscoring their critical role as therapeutic targets.

Data mining of arsenic-based small molecules geometrics present in Cambridge structural database.

Arsenic, ubiquitous in various industrial processes and consumer products, presents both essential functions and considerable toxicity risks, driving extensive research into safer applications. Our investigation, drawing from 7182 arsenic-containing molecules in the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD), outlines their diverse bonding patterns. Notably, 51% of these molecules exhibit cyclic connections, while 49% display acyclic ones.
