All N=4 conformal supergravities in four space-time dimensions are constructed. These are the only N=4 supergravity theories whose actions are invariant under off-shell supersymmetry. They are encoded in terms of a holomorphic function that is homogeneous of zeroth degree in scalar fields that parametrize an SU(1,1)/U(1) coset space. When this function equals a constant the Lagrangian is invariant under continuous SU(1,1) transformations. The construction of these higher-derivative invariants also opens the door to various applications for nonconformal theories.

The integrated stress response (ISR) is a cellular defense mechanism activated under stress conditions. When the ISR is activated, it slows the production of proteins, the building blocks that cells need to function. Trans-integrated stress response inhibitor (trans-ISRIB) is a compound that can reverse the effects of ISR activation, showing promise for treating neurodegenerative diseases.

Two new phenyl-sulfonyl-indole derivatives, namely, -{[3-bromo-1-(phenyl-sulfon-yl)-1-indol-2-yl]meth-yl}--(4-bromo-3-meth-oxy-phen-yl)benzene-sulfonamide, CHBrNOS, (), and ,-bis-{[3-bromo-1-(phenyl-sulfon-yl)-1-indol-2-yl]meth-yl}benzene-sulfonamide, CHBrNOS, (), reveal the impact of intra-molecular π-π inter-actions of the indole moieties as a factor not only governing the conformation of ,-bis-(1-indol-2-yl)meth-yl)amines, but also significantly influencing the crystal patterns. For , the crystal packing is dominated by C-H⋯π and π-π bonding, with a particular significance of mutual indole-indole inter-actions. In the case of , the mol-ecules adopt short intra-molecular π-π inter-actions between two nearly parallel indole ring systems [with the centroids of their pyrrole rings separated by 3.

Developing axial coordination engineering of single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes), directly regulating the axial coordination environment of the catalytic site, and optimizing the axial adsorption are meaningful and challenging for boosting the enzyme-like activities. Herein, the axial chlorination engineering of SAzyme with the Fe-NCl catalytic site (Fe-NCl/CNCl) was first proposed, exhibiting superior peroxidase-like activity compared to the traditional Fe-N/CN SAzyme with Fe-N site. The maximal reaction velocity (4.

Extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL) producing enterobacteriales are a major global health concern since they often result in the ineffectiveness of empirical antibiotic therapy with β-lactams. This study aims to identify potential medicinal plants that can inhibit β-lactamase and subsequently enhance the activity of the β-lactams against resistant bacterial strains. A synergistic study of extract exhibited good synergistic activity against a CTX-M-producing organism, which was confirmed using an agar-based diffusion bioassay method.
