The discoveries of a new antitumor agent (LY32262) (N-[2,4-dichlorobenzoyl]phenylsulfonamide) and a close analog (LY33169) are described. For this discovery, a disk-diffusion-soft-agar-colony-formation-assay was used to screen a portion of the Eli Lilly inventory, with the evaluation of each agent against normal cells, leukemic cells and several solid tumors, including a multidrug-resistant solid tumor (with marked selective cytotoxicity for Colon-38 and Human-Colon-15/MDR compared to normal fibroblasts and L1210 leukemic cells characterizing the discovery). In mice, LY32262 and/or LY33169 had curative activity against Colon Adenocarcinoma-38, Human Colon-116, Human Prostate LNCaP, and Human Breast WSU-Br-1. In addition, many other tumors were highly sensitive: Panc-03 = 2.4 log kill (LK); Panc-02 = 2.9-4.1 LK; Squamous Lung LC-12 = 2.1 LK; Colon-26 = 2.2 LK; AML1498 = 2.7 LK; Human Sm Cell Lung DMS-273 = 6.3 LK; Human Squamous Lung 165 = 3.7 LK; Human Ovarian BG-1 = 3.7 LK; Human Colon CX-1 (H29) = 1.6 LK; Human Colon-15/MDR (a p-glycoprotein positive multidrug resistant tumor) = 2.3 LK; Human CNS-gliosarcoma-SF295 = 3.8 LK. Several tumors were only marginally responsive or totally unresponsive: Mammary Adenocarcinoma-16/C = 0.6 LK; Mammary Adenocarcinoma-17 = no kill; Colon Adenocarcinoma-11 = no kill; L1210 leukemia = 1.3 LK; Human Prostate PC-3 = 0.5 LK; Human Adenosquamous Lung H125 = no kill; and Human Breast Adenocarcinoma MX-1 = 0.9 LK. There was no absolute tissue of origin correlation with antitumor efficacy, although colon tumors were most responsive and mammary tumors least responsive. The cause of the "hit and miss" efficacy has not been determined.

Universal receptive system as a novel regulator of transcriptomic activity of Staphylococcus aureus.
Microb Cell Fact
January 2025
Human Microbiology Institute, New York, NY, 10014, USA.
Our previous studies revealed the existence of a Universal Receptive System that regulates interactions between cells and their environment. This system is composed of DNA- and RNA-based Teazeled receptors (TezRs) found on the surface of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, as well as integrases and recombinases. In the current study, we aimed to provide further insight into the regulatory role of TezR and its loss in Staphylococcus aureus gene transcription.

Background: The pressure gradient between the ventricles and the subarachnoid space (transmantle pressure) is crucial for understanding CSF circulation and the pathogenesis of certain neurodegenerative diseases. This pressure can be approximated by the pressure difference across the aqueduct (ΔP). Currently, no dedicated platform exists for quantifying ΔP, and no research has been conducted on the impact of breathing on ΔP.

Department of Medical Social Sciences, Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, IL, Chicago, USA.
Background: Studies have demonstrated that standardizing labor induction (IOL), often with the use of protocols, may reduce racial inequities in obstetrics. IOL protocols are complex, multi-component interventions. To target identified implementation barriers, audit and feedback (A&F) was selected as an implementation strategy.

Biochemistry Department, Faculty of Science, Tanta University, Tanta, Egypt.
Background: Naringenin, a flavonoid compound found in citrus fruits, possesses valuable anticancer properties. However, its potential application in cancer treatment is limited by poor bioavailability and pharmacokinetics at tumor sites. To address this, Naringenin nanoparticles (NARNPs) were prepared using the emulsion diffusion technique and their anticancer effects were investigated in HepG2 cells.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to use the advanced technique of Network Intervention Analysis (NIA) to investigate the trajectory of symptom change associated with the effects of self-control training on youth university students' chronic ego depletion aftereffects.
Methods: The nine nodes of chronic ego depletion aftereffects and integrated self-control training were taken as nodes in the network and analyzed using NIA. Networks were computed at the baseline, at the end of treatment, at 1-, 3-, 6-, 9- and 12-month follow up.
