2-Acetyl pyridine thiosemicarbazone containing an 1-(4-fluorophenyl)-piperazinyl ring incorporated at N(4)-position, HAcPipPheF (1) and the zinc(II) complexes [Zn(AcPipPheF)(2)] (2) and [Zn(OAc)(AcPipPheF)](2) (3) have been prepared and structurally characterized by means of vibrational and NMR ((1)H and (13)C) spectroscopy. The crystal structures of the compounds 1-3 have been determined by X-ray crystallography. The metal coordination geometry of [Zn(AcPipPheF)(2)] is described as distorted octahedral configuration in a trans-N-cis-N-cis-S configuration. In [Zn(OAc)(AcPipPheF)](2) one of the acetato group exhibits monoatomic bridge and the other bridges in a bidentate manner. The zinc(1) metal ion is coordinated in a distorted octahedral configuration while the metal coordination of Zn(2) is described as distorted square pyramidal. Biomedical studies revealed that, compounds 1-3 displayed potent anticancer activity. The antiproliferative activity of 1-3 was found to be considerably stronger than that of cis-platin. The IC(50) values range from 26 to 90nM, against all cell lines tested, while for cis-platin the IC(50) values range from 2 to 17microM and for the zinc salt, ZnCl(2), the IC(50) values range from 81 to 93microM. The complex 3 shows the highest activity against all four cancer cell lines and the highest selectivity against K562 and MDA-MB-453 cancer cell lines. The compounds inhibited tumor cell proliferation by arresting the cell cycle progression at the S phase.

In this work, we evaluated the anticancer activity of compounds 1 (mononuclear) and 2 (dinuclear) copper(II) coordination compounds derived from the ligand 5-methylsalicylaldehyde 2-furoyl hydrazone (H2L) over MDA-MB-231 Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells, and compared their activities with that of a newly synthesized, protonated, dinuclear analogue of 2 (complex 3). Here, we report the synthesis of compound 3 and it has been characterized in the solid state (X-ray diffraction, FTIR) and in solution (EPR, UV-Vis, ESI) as well as its electrochemical profile. Complexes 1-3 impaired cell viability from 0.

Discoidin domain receptors (DDR) are categorized under tyrosine kinase receptors (RTKs) and play a crucial role in various etiological conditions such as cancer, fibrosis, atherosclerosis, osteoarthritis, and inflammatory diseases. The structural domain rearrangement of DDR1 and DDR2 involved six domains of interest namely N-terminal DS, DS-like, intracellular juxtamembrane, transmembrane juxtamembrane, extracellular juxtamembrane intracellular kinase domain, and the tail portion contains small C-tail linkage. DDR has not been explored to a wide extent to be declared as a prime target for any particular pathological condition.

SARS-CoV-2 (Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) Variants of Concern (VOCs), such as the Omicron sub-variants, present significant challenges in pandemic control due to their capacity to escape antibodies and breach vaccine protections. Discovering antibodies that can tolerate mutations in VOCs and understanding their underlying mechanisms is crucial for developing therapeutics for COVID-19 patients, particularly those for whom other therapies may be unsuitable. Here, we report the neutralization of the Omicron variant by FD20, a broadly active human monoclonal antibody.

SARS-CoV-2 variant recurrence has emphasized the imperative prerequisite for effective antivirals. The main protease (Mpro) of SARS-CoV-2 is crucial for viral replication, making it one of the prime and promising antiviral targets. Mpro features several druggable sites, including active sites and allosteric sites near the dimerization interface, that regulate its catalytic activity.
