The inhibition effects of enantiomerically pure alpha-(N-benzylamino)benzylphosphonic acids and their derivatives on human prostatic acid phosphatase have been investigated. As expected, (R)-alpha-(N-benzylamino)benzylphosphonic acid demonstrated higher affinity for the enzyme than (S)-enantiomer. At the same time, (1R,2S)-phenyl[(1-phenylethyl)amino]methylphosphonic acid was found to be a significantly weaker inhibitor than its (1S,2R)-analogue. The enantioselectivity has been explained using a molecular modeling approach by computational docking of inhibitors into active center of prostatic acid phosphatase.

Background: The study aimed to overview radiopharmaceuticals used for the nuclear medicine (NM) imaging of prostate cancer (Pca) since the first mentions in the literature up to recent reports, with the special focus on positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) radiotracers.
Materials And Methods: We found over 3500 articles discussing the role of PET-CT in Pca patients' management published within 1990-2023. We summarized the past and present interests of the Authors when the Pca diagnostic imaging and the use of radiotracers in Pca diagnosis are considered.

Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) using prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-radioligands is currently suggested by several clinical guidelines for the assessment of prostate cancer (PCa) in various clinical settings. However, PSMA will also be overexpressed in different cancers, which should be considered on the PSMA PET/CT reading in patients with concomitant neoplastic diseases. We report a case of 82-year-old male presented with prostate and history of oesophageal cancer and B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL).

Tribulus terrestris L. from the family of Zygophyllaceae, which is rich in saponin compounds, especially diosgenin, has various biological properties, such as anti-inflammation, anti-Alzheimer, anti-obesity, anti-diabetes, anti-leukemia, and anti-cancer activities, due to these compounds. This research aimed to study the diversity of agro-morphological and phytochemical traits and anti-proliferative activity against human prostate cancer cells (PC3) of T.

Metabolic reprogramming is a hallmark of cancer, crucial for malignant transformation and metastasis. Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) and prostate cancer exhibit similar metabolic adaptations, particularly in glucose and lipid metabolism. Understanding this metabolic plasticity is crucial for identifying mechanisms contributing to metastasis.

Purpose Of Review: Sleep disturbance and low dietary intake of omega-3 fatty acids are common in modern society. Previous research shows that omega-3 fatty acids play an integral role in the regulation of sleep processes, but efficacy data in adults have been equivocal to date. This review examines recent studies highlighting the effects of omega-3 fatty acids on sleep quality and circadian processes.
