Carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1) are crucial metalloenzymes that are involved in diverse bioprocesses. We report the synthesis and biological evaluation of novel series of benzenesulfonamides incorporating un/substituted ethyl quinoline-3-carboxylate moieties. The newly synthesised compounds were evaluated as inhibitors of the cytosolic human (h) isoforms hCA I and II. Both isoforms hCA I and II were inhibited by the quinolines reported here in variable degrees: hCA I was inhibited with s in the range of 0.966-9.091 μM, whereas hCA II in the range of 0.083-3.594 μM. The primary 7-chloro-6-flouro substituted sulphfonamide derivative ( = 0.083 μM) proved to be the most active quinoline in inhibiting hCA II, whereas, its secondary sulfonamide analog failed to inhibit the hCA II up to 10 μM, confirming the crucial role of the primary sulphfonamide group, as a zinc-binding group for CA inhibitory activity.

Background: It has been reported the therapeutic effects of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on hearing loss. This study explored the therapeutic effects of growth differentiation factor 6 (GDF6) overexpression-induced MSCs (MSCs-GDF6) on age-related hearing loss (ARHL) and its underlying mechanisms.
Methods: Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR and western blotting were used to evaluate gene expression.

Background: This study investigates the role of small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO)-specific peptidase 5 (SENP5), a key regulator of SUMOylation, in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), a lethal disease, and its underlying molecular mechanisms.
Methods: Differentially expressed genes between ESCC mouse oesophageal cancer tissues and normal tissues were analysed via RNA-seq; among them, SENP5 expression was upregulated, and this gene was selected for further analysis. Immunohistochemistry and western blotting were then used to validate the increased protein level of SENP5 in both mouse and human ESCC samples.

Background: Over the past five years, the pregnancy rate in assisted reproductive technology (ART) programs in Russia has remained relatively stable. The aim of this study was to assess the distribution of monocyte and macrophage subsets in the blood and follicular fluid of infertile women undergoing assisted reproductive technology.
Methods: The study involved 45 women with a mean age of 35 ± 4.

Background: Dexamethasone has proven life-saving in severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and COVID-19 cases. However, its systemic administration is accompanied by serious side effects. Inhalation delivery of dexamethasone (Dex) faces challenges such as low lung deposition, brief residence in the respiratory tract, and the pulmonary mucus barrier, limiting its clinical use.

Background: Pre-eclampsia (PE) is a gestational disorder that significantly endangers maternal and fetal health. Transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA)-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) are important in the progression and diagnosis of various diseases. However, their role in the development of PE is unclear.
