trans- and cis-Icosyl, docosyl, and tetracosyl p-coumarates, constituents of Artemisia annua L., and their structurally-related compounds were synthesized and evaluated for inhibitory activity on DNA polymerases alpha and beta. Among 30 compounds synthesized, octadecyl trans- and cis-p-coumarates and octadecyl p-hydroxyphenylpropiolate showed strong inhibitory activity on DNA polymerases alpha and beta.

Antiviral activity of an ACE2-Fc fusion protein against SARS-CoV-2 and its variants.

SARS-CoV-2 has continued spreading around the world in recent years since the initial outbreak in 2019, frequently developing into new variants with greater human infectious capacity. SARS-CoV-2 and its mutants use the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) as a cellular entry receptor, which has triggered several therapeutic strategies against COVID-19 relying on the use of ACE2 recombinant proteins as decoy receptors. In this work, we propose an ACE2 silent Fc fusion protein (ACE2-hFcLALA) as a candidate therapy against COVID-19.

During the process of developing smart chiroptical luminophores, small chiral organic dyes have emerged as candidates of utmost importance. In this regard, the chiral variants of boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) serve as suitable molecules owing to their excellent photophysical properties such as high fluorescence quantum yields, narrow emission bandwidths with high peak intensities, high photo and chemical stability, and higher molar extinction coefficients. Thus, the last decade observed an influx of research from various research groups for the induction of chirality in originally achiral BODIPY.

Background: Soluble Aβ oligomers (AβOs) induce synapse dysfunction, leading to cognitive impairment and memory deficits in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Our laboratory and several research groups characterized neurexin family members' physiological roles, pivotal synaptic adhesion molecules for development, plasticity, and maintenance. Beyond their normal functions, we found neurexins binding to AβOs causes AβO-induced neurexin dysregulation.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia in elderly humans worldwide. More than 40 million people currently suffer from AD, and this prevalence tends to increase considerably in the coming decades due to increased longevity. The unfolded protein response (UPR) is an adaptive signaling mechanism that aims to maintain cell viability under misfolded protein accumulation and endoplasmic reticulum stress.
