As a disease-modifying approach for Alzheimer's disease (AD), clioquinol (CQ) targets beta-amyloid (Abeta) reactions with synaptic Zn and Cu yet promotes metal uptake. Here we characterize the second-generation 8-hydroxy quinoline analog PBT2, which also targets metal-induced aggregation of Abeta, but is more effective as a Zn/Cu ionophore and has greater blood-brain barrier permeability. Given orally to two types of amyloid-bearing transgenic mouse models of AD, PBT2 outperformed CQ by markedly decreasing soluble interstitial brain Abeta within hours and improving cognitive performance to exceed that of normal littermate controls within days. Nontransgenic mice were unaffected by PBT2. The current data demonstrate that ionophore activity, inhibition of in vitro metal-mediated Abeta reactions, and blood-brain barrier permeability are indices that predict a potential disease-modifying drug for AD. The speed of recovery of the animals underscores the acutely reversible nature of the cognitive deficits associated with transgenic models of AD.

In the present research, an attempt has been made to develop a new thin film microextraction method for the extraction of several polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from aqueous samples collected from different industrial units prior to their analysis by gas chromatography combined with a flame ionization detector. In this approach, a thin iron mesh was modified by the formation of iron(II) oxinate on its surface and used for the extraction of analytes without an additional sorbent. For this purpose, first, the mesh was immersed in a sulfuric acid solution and then transferred into an 8-hydroxy quinoline (oxine) solution dissolved in ammonia solution.

Background: Iodine is one of the essential trace elements for human life. The main objective of the biofortification of plants with iodine is to obtain food with a higher content of this element compared to conventional food. Biofortification of plants with iodine can increase the intake of this trace element by different populations.

Article Synopsis
- New acetylene derivatives of quinoline sulfonamides were synthesized through reactions with acetylene amines, leading to hybrid systems combining quinoline and 1,2,3-triazole.
- The structures of these compounds were confirmed using advanced techniques like NMR spectroscopy and HR-MS.
- Testing revealed that acetylene derivatives of 8-hydroxyquinoline-5-sulfonamide showed significant anticancer activity, particularly one compound that was effective against multiple cancer cell lines and had low toxicity in non-cancer cells, outperforming standard treatments in some cases.

M1 aminopeptidase is a metallopeptidase that plays a vital role in protein catabolism and has been identified as a validated drug target in various parasites; however, our understanding of this enzyme is restricted for leishmanial parasite. The present investigation involved the purification of Leishmania donovani M1 aminopeptidase (LdM1AP) to homogeneity by affinity chromatography. Purified LdM1AP was observed to be enzymatically active and displayed maximal activity in the presence of cobalt ions, whereas secondary structure analysis confirmed the dominance of α-helices.
