A series of monovalent α-D-mannoside ligands terminated with aromatic methyl esters have been synthesized in excellent yields using the Cu(I) catalyzed azide-alkyne 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition ("click chemistry"). These mannosides were designed to have a unique aglycone moiety (tail) that combines a triazole ring attached to aromatic methyl esters via a six carbon alkyl chain. The mannose unit of these ligands was linked at the ortho, meta, and para positions of substituted methyl benzoates and 1-, 3-, and 6-substituted methyl 2-napthaoates. In hemagglutination assays, ligands (32A-38A) showed better inhibitory activities than the standard inhibitor, methyl α-D-mannopyranoside. Overall, the naphthyl-based mannoside ligand (37A) showed the best activity and therefore merits further development.

Human carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX) plays a key role in maintaining pH homeostasis of malignant neoplasms, thus creating a favorable microenvironment for the growth, invasion, and metastasis of tumor cells. Recent studies have established that inhibition of CAIX expressed on the surface of tumor cells significantly increases the efficacy of classical chemotherapeutic agents and makes it possible to suppress the resistance of tumor cells to chemotherapy, as well as to increase their sensitivity to drugs (in particular, to reduce the required dose of cytostatic agents). In this work, we studied the ability of new CAIX inhibitors based on substituted 1,2,4-oxadiazole-containing primary aromatic sulfonamides, to potentiate the cytostatic effect of gefitinib (selective inhibitor of epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase domain) under hypoxic conditions.

Heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAAs), formed during the cooking of meat, are potential human carcinogens, underscoring the need for long-lived biomarkers to assess exposure and cancer risk. Frequent consumption of well-done meats containing 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-]pyridine (PhIP), a prevalent HAA that is a prostatic carcinogen in rodents and DNA-damaging agent in human prostate cells, has been linked to aggressive prostate cancer (PC) pathology. African American (AA) men face nearly twice the risk for developing and dying from PC compared to White men.

Terpenes are critical components of the floral fragrance component in , synthesized by terpene synthase (TPS). Analysis of the genome and transcriptional data revealed that the gene was significantly up-regulated during flowering periods, showing a strong correlation with the accumulation of aromatic monoterpenes in the floral components of . Consequently, the gene was selected for further analysis.
