Cardiac effects of 3,5-dibenzoyl-4-(3-phenoxyphenyl)-1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethylpyridine (DP7), a novel multidrug resistance (MDR) inhibitor, in Langendorff-perfused rat heart have been investigated and compared to that of nifedipine. Nifedipine decreased concentration-dependently (IC50=8.89+/-1.09x10(-8) M) left ventricular pressure leaving unaltered coronary perfusion pressure, whereas DP7 did not affect both parameters. Nifedipine did not modify both QRS and QT intervals of electrocardiogram (ECG). Second-degree atrioventricular block or ventricular rhythm occurred in presence of nifedipine, however, in 4 out of 6 hearts. DP7, up to 30 microM, failed to alter ECG parameters. In conclusion, DP7, may represent a lead compound for the development of potent dihydropyridine MDR chemosensitizers devoid of cardiac effects.

: Myeloid neoplasms encompass a diverse group of disorders. In this study, we aimed to analyze the clinical and genomic data of patients with myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN), myelodysplastic neoplasm (MDS), and their overlapping conditions, such as MDS/MPN and aplastic anemia (AA), to help redefine the disease classification. : Clinico-genomic data of 1585 patients diagnosed with MPN ( = 715), MDS ( = 698), MDS/MPN ( = 78), and AA ( = 94) were collected.

Article Synopsis
- Linaclotide (LINA) is a medication for treating constipation-related conditions, and researchers studied its stability under various stress conditions to meet international guidelines.
- A new liquid chromatography method was developed to separate and identify LINA's degradation products, using advanced techniques like high-resolution mass spectrometry.
- The study found that LINA degrades under different conditions, leading to the formation of seven degradation products, which were characterized and could help improve drug formulations in the future.

In this study, heterologous MlPG28B expression was obtained by cloning the Mucor lusitanicus gene screened from a marine environment. The enzyme activity of MlPG28B was maximum at 60 °C, 30 % of the enzyme activity was retained after incubation at 100 °C for 30 min, and enzyme activity was still present after 60 min incubation, one of the best thermostable polygalacturonases characterized until now. The high-purity oligosaccharide standards (DP2-DP7) were prepared with polygalacturonic acid as a substrate.

This study investigates the tuning of the UV-Vis/NIR absorption bands of pyrazine-based A-D-A switches for designing efficient UV retardancy over TiO surfaces. The electronic properties and optical characteristics of seven dyes (DP1-DP7) were analyzed using computational methods. The results indicate that the dyes possessed distinct UV-Vis/NIR absorption properties.
