Claisen-Schmidt condensation of 3-(1,2,3,6-tetrahydro-1-methylpyridin-4-yl)-2,4,5- trimethoxybenzaldehyde 3 and various aromatic, heterocyclic and alicyclic amides of 3- aminoacetophenone 6(a-s) afforded novel curcumin mimics. All the synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, (1)H NMR, Mass spectroscopy and evaluated for antioxidant, cytotoxicity and antimicrobial activity. Out of the 20 compounds screened, compounds 7i, 7l, 7q, and 7n have shown excellent radical scavenging activity, compounds 7o, 7t, 7f, and 7r have shown significant xanthine oxidase inhibition, and compounds 7a, 7k and 7l were found to be potent inhibitors of selected cancer cell lines. Compounds 7h, 7t, 7l, 7i, and 7e have shown good antibacterial activity, whereas compounds 7j, 7f, 7o, 7h, and 7t exhibited significant antifungal activity.

Background: Amalgamation of metal-tolerant plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) with biochar is a promising direction for the development of chemical-free biofertilizers that can mitigate environmental risks, enhance crop productivity and their biological value. The main objective of the work includes the evaluation of the influence of prepared bacterial biofertilizer (BF) on biometric growth parameters as well as physiological and biochemical characteristics of rapeseed ( L.) at copper action.

Background: Flavonoids are among the most important compounds found in plants, since laboratory studies have shown them to be a daily requirement in human diets due to their various health benefits. Therefore, this study focused on extracting, purifying, and measuring the antioxidant activity of the flavonoid quercetin, which is widely found in plants and possesses a variety of biological activities, from different plant sources.
Methods: The extraction of quercetin was performed using several methods (chemical, physical, and enzymatic) and several extraction solutions (water, ethanol, and chloroform) from several plants (spinach, dill, Onion Skin, , sumac, digalkhasab chemri, and leelwi chemri).

Objective: Ca overload of muscle fibers is one of the factors that secondarily aggravate the development of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of the Ca channel modulator 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (APB) on skeletal muscle pathology in dystrophin-deficient mice.
Methods: Mice were randomly divided into six groups: wild type (WT), WT+3 mg/kg APB, WT+10 mg/kg APB, , +3 mg/kg APB, +10 mg/kg APB.

Background: Regulatory T-cells (Tregs) play a crucial role in maintaining immune homeostasis, but their dynamics are altered in a subset of people living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) known as immunological non-responders (INRs). INRs fail to reconstitute CD4 T-cell counts despite viral suppression. This study aimed to examine Treg dysregulation in INRs, comparing them to immunological responders (IRs) and healthy controls (HCs).
