The synthesis and evaluation of both the (R)- and (S)-enantioisomers about the 5-position on a tetrahydro-1H-1-benzazepine derivative were described. The absolute configuration of the (R,R)-isomer (10) was determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis. After evaluation of both enantiomers (compounds R-2, S-2) for binding affinity, cAMP accumulation, and an in vivo study using Brattleboro rats, R-2 showed more potent activity as a V(2) receptor agonist than S-2.

Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has significantly improved the survival for many patients with advanced malignancy. However, fewer than 50% of patients benefit from ICB, highlighting the need for more effective immunotherapy options. High-dose interleukin-2 (HD IL-2) immunotherapy, which is approved for patients with metastatic melanoma and renal cell carcinoma, stimulates CD8 T cells and NK cells and can generate durable responses in a subset of patients.

The purpose of this review was to analyse the literature regarding the correlation between the level of tryptamine, aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) signalling pathway activation, and monoamine oxidase (MAO)-A and MAO-B activity in health and conditions such as neurodegenerative, neurodevelopmental, and psychiatric disorders. Tryptamine is generated through the decarboxylation of tryptophan by aromatic amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) in the central nervous system (CNS), peripheral nervous system (PNS), endocrine system, and gut bacteria. Organ-specific metabolism of tryptamine, which is mediated by different MAO isoforms, causes this trace amine to have different pharmacokinetics between the brain and periphery.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs), also known as incretin mimetics, have significantly revolutionized the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity worldwide, far exceeding initial expectations regarding their global prescription. This class of medications has demonstrated weight losses of up to 20 % of baseline body weight. Beyond their proven benefits in T2DM and obesity, GLP-1RAs, as well as dual and triple agonists (GLP-1/GIP/glucagon), are being investigated for their effects on conditions such as metabolic-associated steatotic liver disease, various cardiovascular disorders, neurocognitive impairments, and certain addictions.

Cannabicyclol ((±)-CBL), a minor phytocannabinoid, is largely unexplored, with its biological activity previously undocumented. We studied its conversion from cannabichromene (CBC) using various acidic catalysts. Montmorillonite (K30) in chloroform at room temperature had the highest yield (60%) with minimal byproducts.

Azole and benzimidazole fungicides are widely used agrochemicals to prevent and treat fungal growth and are frequently detected in aquatic environments. Here, we aimed to assess the aquatic ecological risks of ten currently used azole and benzimidazole fungicides, which with the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) agonistic activity, and their transformation products (TPs). We obtained over 400 types of aerobic TPs for ten fungicides.
