A series of ebselen derivatives were designed, synthesised and evaluated as inhibitors of cholinesterases (ChEs) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) mimics. Most of the compounds were found to be potent against AChEs and BuChE, compounds 5e and 5i, proved to be the most potent against AChE with IC₅₀ values of 0.76 and 0.46 μM, respectively. Among these hybrids, most of the compounds were found to be good GPx mimics compare with ebselen. The selected compounds 5e and 5i were also used to determine the catalytic parameters and in vitro hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity. The results indicate that compounds 5e and 5i may be excellent multifunctional agents for the treatment of AD.

The rational design of nanozymes with highly efficient reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation to overcome the resistant infection microenvironment still faces a significant challenge. Herein, the highly active Fe single-atom nanozymes (Fe SAzymes) with a hierarchically porous nanostructure were prepared through a colloidal silica-induced template method. The proposed Fe SAzymes with satisfactory oxidase (OD)-like and peroxidase (POD)-like activity can transform O and HO to superoxide anion free radical (•O) and hydroxyl radical (•OH), which possess an excellent bactericidal effect.

As a crucial regulator of oxidative homeostasis, seleno-protein glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) represents the primary defense system against ferroptosis, making it a promising target with important clinical application prospects. From the discovery of covalent and allosteric sites in GPX4, substantial advancements in GPX4-targeted small molecules have been made through diverse discovery and design strategies in recent years. Moreover, as an emerging hotspot in drug development, seleno-organic compounds can functionally mimic GPX4 to reduce hydroperoxides.

Background: Physiologically relevant cell line-based models of human airway mucosa are needed to assess nanoparticle-mediated pulmonary toxicity for any xenbiotics expsoure study. Palladium nanoparticles (Pd-NP) originating from catalytic converters in vehicles pose health risks. We aimed to develop airway models to assess the toxic potential of Pd-NP in normal (Non-CB) and chronic bronchitis-like (CB-like) mucosa models.

Article Synopsis
- Nonmetal-containing peroxidase enzymes, such as glutathione peroxidase, help maintain cellular redox levels by reducing hydrogen peroxide through a dual-attack mechanism.
- Researchers synthesized two compounds that mimic this GPx-like activity by incorporating a selenolate group and a proton donor, significantly enhancing their ability to cleave the O-O bond in hydrogen peroxide.
- These compounds not only exhibit strong antioxidant properties but also protect metal complexes from oxidative stress by acting as sacrificial antioxidants, thus preventing the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Background: This study examines the feasibility and effects of introducing microRNA mimic into red blood cells (RBCs) at the initial phases of Plasmodium falciparum 3D7 (Pf3D7) infection. The aim is to determine the correlation between increased expression of miR-451a and parasitaemia.
Methods: In this study miR-mimic-451a labelled with Cy3 and transfected into control and infected RBCs using lipofectamine and analysed using the fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry.
