Two new isoflavanes, dalvelutinanes A (1) and B (2), along with three known isoflavanes (3-5) were isolated from the roots of Dalbergia velutina. Their chemical structures, including their absolute configurations, were determined by spectroscopic analysis (1D and 2D NMR, HRESIMS, and CD). All isolated compounds were evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxicities against five human cancer cell lines (KB, HeLa-S3, MCF-7, HepG-2, and HT-29). Compound 5 showed significant cytotoxicity against all of the tested cancer cell lines, with IC values in the range 3.47-9.76 µM. In addition, compound 3 showed significant cytotoxicity against the KB and HeLa-S3 cells, with IC values of 8.29 and 9.54 µM, respectively, and compound 2 showed significant cytotoxicity against the MCF-7 cell line, with an IC value of 4.69 µM.

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are a serious global health threat, making infections harder to treat and increasing medical costs and mortality rates. To combat resistant bacterial strains, a series of compounds (QS1-12) were synthesized with an excellent yield of 85-92%. Initial assessments of these analogues as potential antibacterial agents were conducted through a preliminary screening against a panel of diverse bacterial strains.

Antibody-recruiting molecules (ARMs) have emerged as a promising strategy for enhancing immune responses against pathogens and cancer cells. In this study, we developed a novel class of antibacterial ARMs utilizing siderophores, small iron-chelating compounds, as targeting motifs. Siderophores naturally exhibit high specificity for bacterial pathogens due to their role in iron acquisition, making them ideal candidates for selective targeting.

Currently, available therapies for diabetes cannot achieve normal sugar values in a high percentage of treated patients. This work synthesized a series of carbazole-triazole-thione derivatives, and their potential antidiabetic activity was investigated against the key diabetic enzymes α-amylase and glycosidase. Normal human hepatic stellate cells (LX-2) were employed to assess their cytotoxicity and safety, followed by in vivo testing to investigate the hypoglycemic effect of the most promising agent.
