Under the hypothesis that cardioprotective agents might benefit from synergism between antiarrhythmic activity and antioxidant properties, a small series of mexiletine analogues were coupled with the 2,2,5,5-tetramethylpyrroline moiety, known for its antioxidant effect, in order to obtain dual-acting drugs potentially useful in the protection of the heart against post-ischemic reperfusion injury. The pyrroline derivatives reported herein were found to be more potent as antiarrhythmic agents than mexiletine and displayed antioxidant activity. The most interesting tetramethylpyrroline congener, a tert-butyl-substituted analogue, was at least 100 times more active as an antiarrhythmic than mexiletine.

Drought stress remains a serious concern in L. var , cultivar Satabdi (IET4786) production, particularly during the earliest growth phases, ultimately affecting yield due to the recent trend of delayed rain arrival in West Bengal, India. This study aimed to develop a cost-effective strategy to improve the drought tolerance capacity of rice seedlings by priming the seeds with flavonoid-enriched extract (FEE) of French marigold () petals to withstand the initial drought milieu.

Aromatic rice is globally favored for its distinctive scent, which not only increases its nutritional value but also enhances its economic importance. However, apart from 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline (2-AP), the metabolic basis of aroma remains to be clarified, and the genetic basis of the accumulation of fragrance metabolites is largely unknown. In this study, we revealed 2-AP and fatty acid-derived volatiles (FAVs) as key contributors to rice aroma by combining aroma rating with molecular docking.

In recent years, isoxazole insecticides or parasiticides targeting the γ-aminobutyric acid receptor, such as fluralaner or fluxametamide, featured a novel chemical structure and exhibited potent insecticidal activity with no-cross resistance. Thus, many research institutes have tried to modify the structures of these agents to find a new insecticide. Previously, the majority of researchers stuck to the "phenyl-isoxazole-phenyl" structure, making modifications only to other components.

The flavoenzyme proline dehydrogenase (PRODH) catalyzes the first step of proline catabolism, the oxidation of l-proline to Δ-pyrroline-5-carboxylate. The enzyme is a target for chemical probe discovery because of its role in the metabolism of certain cancer cells. -propargylglycine is the first and best characterized mechanism-based covalent inactivator of PRODH.

Article Synopsis
- The study looks at how a type of stem cell treatment from the placenta can help patients with a liver disease called primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC).
- Researchers used special mice to see how the stem cell treatment affected their liver health and identified important substances in their blood to check its effectiveness.
- They found that after the treatment, certain harmful substances in the liver decreased while beneficial ones increased, suggesting the stem cell treatment was successful in improving liver function.
