BIOCIS-UMR-CNRS-8086, Faculté de Pharmacie, 2 Rue J.B. Clément, Chatenay-Malabry, 92296, France.

Published: May 2007

This report is an overview on the design, preparation, and evaluation of metabolically stable artemisinins, using fluorine substitution. The chemical challenges encountered for the incorporation of fluorine-containing elements and the preparation of a large range of 10-trifluoromethyl artemisinin derivatives are detailed. Impact of the fluorine substitution on the antimalarial activity is also highlighted. Preclinical data of lead compounds, and evidence for their strong and prolonged antimalarial activity are presented.

Background: Glyphosate is an extensively employed herbicide in agriculture, specifically for sugarcane cultivation. The situation is different with the extensive physiological and genetic effects exerted by this herbicide on a range of plant species, including sugarcane, whose model basis is still poorly characterized, although its primary mode of action, which acts on the EPSPS enzyme in the shikimic acid pathway, is completely elucidated. The current study was aimed at investigating the stability of glyphosate formulation, molecular interactions of glyphosate formulation with rbcL enzyme associated with chlorophyll metabolism, and its effects on varieties of sugarcane.

The quality of biological samples used in metabolomics research is significantly influenced by preanalytical factors, such as the timing of centrifugation and freezing. This study aimed to evaluate how preanalytical factors, like delays in centrifugation and freezing, affect metabolomics research. Blood samples, collected in various tube types, were subjected to controlled pre- and postcentrifugation delays.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most prevalent chronic liver condition, characterized by a spectrum that progresses from simple hepatic steatosis to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, which may eventually lead to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The precise pathogenic mechanisms underlying NAFLD and its related metabolic disturbances remain elusive. Epigenetic modifications, which entail stable transcriptional changes without altering the DNA sequence, are increasingly recognized as pivotal.

New drugs for acute kidney injury.

J Intensive Med

January 2025

Department of Anesthesia and Perioperative Care, Division of Critical Care Medicine, UCSF, San Francisco, CA, USA.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) presents a significant challenge in the management of critically ill patients, as it is associated with increased mortality, prolonged hospital stays, and increased healthcare costs. In certain conditions, such as during sepsis or after cardiac surgery, AKI is one of the most frequent complications, affecting 30%-50% of patients. Over time, even after the resolution of AKI, it can evolve into chronic kidney disease, a leading global cause of mortality, and cardiovascular complications.
