Two carbonic anhydrase IX (CA IX) inhibitors were radiolabeled with (18)F, and evaluated for imaging CA IX expression. Despite good affinity for CA IX and excellent plasma stability, uptake of both tracers in CA IX-expressing HT-29 tumor xenografts in mice was low. (18)F-FEC accumulated predominately in the liver and nasal cavity, whereas a significant amount of (18)F-U-104 was retained in blood. Due to minimal uptake in HT-29 tumors compared to other organs/tissues, these two tracers are not suitable for use for CA IX-targeted imaging.

Spontaneous tumor regression is a recognized phenomenon across various cancer types. Recent research emphasizes the alterations in autoantibodies against carbonic anhydrase I (CA I) (anti-CA I) levels as potential prognostic markers for various malignancies. Particularly, autoantibodies targeting CA I and II appear to induce cellular damage by inhibiting their respective protein's catalytic functions.

2,2'-Thio-bis(4,6-dichlorophenol), namely bithionol, is a small molecule endowed with a multifaceted bioactivity. Its peculiar polychlorinated phenolic structure makes it a suitable candidate to explore its potentialities in establishing interaction patterns with enzymes of MedChem interest, such as the human carbonic anhydrase (hCA) metalloenzymes. Herein, bithionol was tested on a panel of specific hCAs through the stopped-flow technique, showing a promising micromolar inhibitory activity for the hCA II isoform.

For large, open-air lithic cultural heritage, colonization is an inevitable process. This study examines the dual impact of colonization on the Leshan Giant Buddha's sandstone monuments, focusing on both biodeterioration and protection. Over three years, we conducted field surveys and monitored biocrusts (bryophytes, lichens, and biofilms) on these monuments, observing significant biodeterioration primarily due to mechanical exfoliation and acid corrosion.

Our previous study found that WRINKLED1-like (DpWRI1-like) was a key regulatory factor of lipid biosynthesis in . gene and target genes of DpWRI1-like have been obtained in our previous study, but the interacting proteins of DpWRI1-like are unclear now, which has limited a deep understanding of the function of DpWRI1-like. Yeast two-hybrid was widely used to identify protein-protein interaction.
