Novel series of long chain isoxazole derivatives were designed as inhibitors of Cytochrome P450-14DM14a-demethylase from Candida albicans and ribosomal subunit of S12 protein from Escherichia coli. The novel compounds (6-10) were synthesized through 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of nitrile oxide to long chain alkynoic acid and alkenyl/hydroxyalkenyl esters and tested for their antimicrobial activity by disk diffusion assay and MIC by broth micro dilution method. After predicting the hidden potential and drug-likeness of compounds, ADMET-related descriptors were also calculated to predict pharmacokinetic properties. Molecular docking studies have been performed to evaluate possible mode of action of molecules in active site of receptor. Compounds (9 and 10) showed excellent antimicrobial activity nearly equivalent to the control compounds.

Background: Male infertility (MI) is a polygenic condition mainly induced by spermatogenic failure/arrest or systemic disease with a large clinical spectrum. Lately, genetic sequencing allowed the identification of several variants implicated in both aforesaid situations.

Methods And Results: In this case study, we performed whole exome sequencing (WES) on the genomic DNA of a 37-year-old Moroccan man with Non-Obstructive Azoospermia.

The European eel (Anguilla anguilla L.) exhibits a remarkable phenotypic plasticity by occupying both marine and freshwater habitats and transitional areas in between. Because these habitats are characterized by different food sources with different fatty acid compositions, it remains unclear how eels from different habitats obtain essential long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs) to integrate in their lipids.

Background/aims: Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a malignant and insidious tumor that is tricky to treat. Long non-coding RNA (LncRNA) LINC01123 is a biomolecule that influences cancer progression by regulating gene expression via influencing the regulatory function of microRNAs in gene expression. Therefore, this study investigated the connection between LINC01123 and CCA and explored the underlying mechanism.

Dynamic covalent polymer networks (DCPN) provide an important solution to the challenging recyclability of thermoset elastomers. However, dynamic bonds exhibit relatively weak bond energies, considerably decreasing the mechanical properties of DCPN. Herein, a novel reinforcement strategy for DCPN involving the in situ formation of supramolecular organic nanofillers through asynchronous polymerization is proposed.
