To date, a major attention was justly given to the global lineages of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Here, we demonstrated an importance of the minor ones, on an example of intriguing and underestimated NEW-1 family that belongs to Euro-American lineage (lineage 4). Analysis of the global WGS/NGS datasets (5715 strains) identified 2235 strains of Lineage 4 and 66 strains of sublineage L4.5. This latter is marked with RD122 genomic deletion and includes NEW-1 family. Phylogenomic analysis confirmed a separate position of the NEW-1 family that we tentatively designate L4.5.1/Iran. We propose an evolution/migration scenario starting with origin of L4.5 1000-1300 ya in China, subsequent origin of the pre-NEW-1 intermediate genotype in Tibet, further migration to Xinjiang/Uyghur, and finally to Iran since 800 ya (origin of NEW-1), possibly, via expansion of the Mongol Yuan empire. Analysis of longitudinal phylogeographic datasets revealed a sharp increase in prevalence of NEW-1 strains in Iran and its eastwards neighbors in the last 20years; most alarmingly, it is accompanied with significant association with multidrug resistance (MDR). Ongoing migration, especially, Afghan refugees flows to developed countries emphasize a risk of the wider spread of the epidemic MDR subtype within NEW-1 family that we coin as emerging resistant clone of M. tuberculosis in West Asia.

Chagas disease, caused by the protozoan parasite , affects millions globally, with increasing urban cases outside of Latin America. Treatment is based on two compounds, namely, benznidazole (BZ) and nifurtimox, but chronic cases pose several challenges. Targeting lysine acetylation, particularly bromodomain-containing proteins, shows promise as a novel antiparasitic target.

A series of new 1,2,3-triazole fused chromene based glucose triazole conjugates were synthesized from chromene fused 1,2,3-triazolyl extended alkyne and 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-β-d-glucopyranosyl azide in good to excellent yield by a copper catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction. The major advantages include mild reaction conditions, high yield, good substrate scope, and shorter reaction time. The antibacterial efficacy of the compounds were assessed in vitro against human pathogenic Gram-negative E.

An extensive phytochemical investigation on the rare medicinal plant Semiliquidambar cathayensis (family: Hamamelidaceae) led to the isolation of four new (1-4, named semiliquidacids A-D, respectively) and 25 related known pentacyclic triterpenoids. The new structures with absolute configurations were elucidated by spectroscopic methods, electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Compound 1 represents the first naturally occurring ursane-type triterpenoid featuring an uncommon C-25 formyl group.

Recent studies have shown that phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) plays a vital role in cell division, and it has become a therapeutic target for many cancers. In this paper, some new 1,3,5-triazine or pyrimidine skeleton derivatives containing dithiocarbamate were designed and synthesized based on the reasonable drug design strategy from the previously effective compound 2-(difluoromethyl)-1-[4,6-di(4-morpholinyl)-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl]-1-benzimidazole (, in order to get effective selective PI3Kα inhibitors that have not been reported in the literature. In addition, the inhibitory activities of these compounds on PI3Kα and two tumor cell lines (HCT-116, U87-MG) were evaluated.
