Purine inhibitors of cyclin-dependent kinases attract attention as potential anticancer drugs because their first representative roscovitine recently entered clinical trials. Although well described in terms of structure-activity relationships, we still present here a novel modification of the purine scaffold influencing their inhibitory properties. The introduced C-8 substituents, however, lowered the CDK inhibitory activity of roscovitine, whereas the antiproliferative potential of several derivatives remained high.

Visual detection of kanamycin with functionalized Au nanoparticles.
Mikrochim Acta
January 2025
Institute of Chemical Engineering, Guangdong Academy of Sciences, Guangzhou, 510665, People's Republic of China.
A simple and rapid colorimetric detection strategy, based on hydrogen bond identification of 6-thioguanine (6-TG) functionalized Au nanoparticles (AuNPs), is proposed for highly selective and sensitive determination of kanamycin (KA). In this strategy, the hydrogen bond interaction between 6-TG and kanamycin induces AuNPs to agglomerate, with a consequent color change of AuNPs from wine red to purple or even blue. The kanamycin concentrations can be quantified by employing UV-vis spectrophotometer.

The reference intervals determined by using direct and indirect methods were compared with each other and the manufacturer's RI in terms of gender.
Methods: Blood was collected from 302 reference subjects selected on the basis of admission and exclusion criteria based on the procedures set out in document C28-A3, and 14 clinical chemistry tests were performed using the analytical systems available in our laboratory.
Evaluation of metabolic syndrome components, serum uric acid levels and epicardial adipose tissue thickness in pubertal children by severity of obesity.
Turk J Pediatr

Department of Pediatric Cardiology, Ankara Bilkent City Hospital, Ankara, Türkiye.
Background: We aimed to evaluate how the parameters used in the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and parameters such as epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) thickness, insulin resistance (IR), and serum uric acid (SUA) are affected according to the severity of obesity.
Methods: A total of 120 obese patients aged 10-18 years were classified as class 1-2-3 according to their body mass index (BMI) score. SUA was measured and oral glucose tolerance tests were performed on all patients.
Pre-emptive treatment for cytomegalovirus viraemia to prevent cytomegalovirus disease in solid organ transplant recipients.
Cochrane Database Syst Rev
January 2025
Cochrane Kidney and Transplant, Centre for Kidney Research, The Children's Hospital at Westmead, Westmead, Australia.
Background: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a significant cause of morbidity and death in solid organ transplant recipients. Pre-emptive treatment of patients with CMV viraemia using antiviral agents has been suggested as an alternative to routine prophylaxis to prevent CMV disease. This is an update of a Cochrane review first published in 2006 and updated in 2013.

Reductive stress, characterized by rising level of NADH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) for a status of NADH/NAD ratio elevation, has been reported in obesity and cancer. However, the mechanism and significance of reductive stress remain to be established in obesity. This perspective is prepared to address the issue with new insights published recently.
