The alpha-P-borano modification, where one of the alpha-phosphate oxygens is replaced by borane, of chain terminating nucleoside triphosphates are currently being tested in cell culture and are showing promise as effective viral polymerase inhibitors. The goal of this project is to combine the alpha-P-borano and Nanogel drug delivery technology to increase the antiviral potency of chain terminating sugar and base modified purine nucleosides versus the Hepatitis C Viral RNA dependent RNA polymerase (HCV RdRp). Here we show the synthesis of Cordycepin and 2'-O-methyl alpha-P-borano triphosphate via a one-pot phosphorochloridite synthesis under mild conditions. These analogues will be used for future structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies.

Introduction: Some individuals show intact cognition despite the presence of neuropathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The plasticity of parvalbumin (PV)-containing interneurons might contribute to resilience. Perineuronal nets (PNNs), that is, extracellular matrix structures around neurons, modulate PV neuron function.

Objective: Patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have poor prognoses. Sulfatase 1 (SULF1) is an extracellular neutral sulfatase and is involved in multiple physiological processes. Hence, this study investigated the function and possible mechanisms of SULF1 in NSCLC.

Sialic acid, a negatively charged nine-carbon monosaccharide, is mainly located at the terminal end of glycan chains on glycoproteins and glycolipids of cell surface and most secreted proteins. Elevated levels of sialylated glycans have been known as a hallmark in numerous cancers. As a result, sialic acid acts as a useful and accessible cancer biomarker for early cancer detection and monitoring the disease development during cancer treatment which is crucial in elevating the survival rate.

Background: Ischemic stroke (IS) is the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Herein, we aimed to identify novel biomarkers and explore the role of C-type lectin domain family 7 member A () in IS.
Methods: Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened using the GSE106680, GSE97537, and GSE61616 datasets, and hub genes were identified through construction of protein-protein interaction networks.
