Tuberculosis (TB) remains a global health challenge, claiming numerous lives each year, despite recent advancements in drug discovery and treatment strategies. Current TB treatment typically involves long-duration chemotherapy regimens that are often accompanied by adverse effects. The introduction of new anti-TB drugs, such as Bedaquiline, Delamanid, and Pretomanid, offers hope for more effective treatment, although challenges persist keeping the quest to find new anti-TB chemotypes an incessant exercise of medicinal chemists.

Background: Preventing severe COVID-19 associated outcomes continues to be a priority for persons with multiple sclerosis (PwMS). We previously reported in an interim analysis that short-term reactions to the first and second SARS-CoV-2 vaccines experienced by PwMS were mostly self-limiting and similar to reactions experienced by the general population.
Objectives: First, to report short-term reactogenicity experienced by PwMS in relation to the first through fourth SARS-CoV-2 vaccines.

The quest for new approaches for generating novel bioactive designer proteins/peptides has continued with their success in various biomedical applications. Previously, we designed a 14-mer α-helical peptide with antimicrobial and antimycobacterial activities by employing a tandem repeat of the 7-mer, "KVLGRLV" human chemerin segment. Herein, we devised a new method of "sliding framework" with this segment to create amino acid scaffolds of varying sizes and sequences and explored the design of a peptide library with antibacterial and antimycobacterial activities.

Selective inhibition of histone deacetylase 8 (HDAC8) has emerged as a promising approach for treating various diseases, including cancer. However, finding key structural features for HDAC8 inhibition and developing effective and selective HDAC8 inhibitors (HDAC8s) pose significant challenges. In the past few years, the development of various scaffolds for inhibiting HDAC8 has significantly risen and the quest continues.

The development of robust, efficient, and cost-effective heterogeneous photocatalysts for visible light-driven CO2 reduction continues to be a significant challenge in the quest for sustainable energy solutions. As a result, increasing attention is being directed towards the exploration of high-performance photocatalysts capable of converting CO2 into chemical feedstocks. Imidazolate Frameworks Potsdam (IFPs) can be a promising candidate for CO2 photoreduction due to their ease of synthesis, use of low-cost, earth-abundant metals, and high chemical and thermal stability.
