Published: March 2022

Background: The lead compounds from the series of 2, 4-disubstituted quinoline-3-carboxylic acid derivatives were selected for the in-silico mechanistic study. The compounds were found selective and potent for the cancer cell. Moreover, the relevant ADME in-silico data also support the safety of lead.

Objective: The objective of the study is to correlate the interaction of DNA and quinoline derivative, which was reported with the fluorescence microscopy images of cells in-vitro data in the recently published data.

Methods: The detailed interaction study with the DNA dodecanucleotide sequenced d(CGCGAATTCGCG) shows the present lead bounds with the A/T minor groove region of a B-DNA duplex through the important major and minor hydrogen bonds.

Results: The present in-silico study supports the interactions of the drug with DNA with sufficient binding interactions and energy. The present study also gives vital information related to the mechanism of drug action, which was initially declared as a DNA targeting molecule through a fluorescence-based target study.

Conclusion: The substitution at 2 position (the carbonyl group) of the lead revealed as a hydrogen bond donor/acceptor for adenine and guanine nucleic acid-base pair. The in-silico prediction also confirmed the interaction pattern of the lead with the DNA, which will be further utilized for drug development.

sly-miR408b Targets a Plastocyanin-Like Protein to Regulate Mycorrhizal Symbiosis in Tomato.

Plant Cell Environ

January 2025

Key Laboratory of Ministry of Education for Genetics, Breeding and Multiple Utilization of Crops, Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University, Fuzhou, China.

Symbiosis between arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and plants plays a crucial role in nutrient acquisition and stress resistance for terrestrial plants. microRNAs have been reported to participate in the regulation of mycorrhizal symbiosis by controlling the expression of their target genes. Herein, we found that sly-miR408b was significantly downregulated in response to mycorrhizal colonisation.

United States and European Union laws demand separate clinical studies in children as a condition for drugs' marketing approval. Justified by carefully framed pseudo-scientific wordings, more so the European Medicines Agency than the United States Food and Drug Administration, "Pediatric Drug Development" is probably the largest abuse in medical research in history. Preterm newborns are immature and vulnerable, but they grow.

The purpose of this study was to identify whether NHS Trusts where discrimination in the delivery of care to patients from the South Asian community had been demonstrated had taken any actions to address the issue over the subsequent year. Freedom of information requests were sent to three trusts which had provided evidence of disparate provision of biologic therapy to patients with Crohn's disease, their associated Clinical Commissioning Groups and Healthwatch organisations to seek evidence whether they had remedied the situation. Requests were also sent to the Care Quality Commission, NHS Improvement and the Equality and Human Rights Commission seeking examples where they had responded to inequitable delivery of care related to ethnicity.

Is the Time Right to Enact Autonomy-Only Assisted Dying Laws?

J Law Med

November 2024

Associate Professor (Law) School of Law and Justice, University of Southern Queensland.

An increasing number of jurisdictions worldwide have enacted assisted dying laws allowing persons to end their lives with assistance. All existing frameworks have in common that they restrict access to persons who (1) act autonomously and (2) suffer from certain illnesses. The second restriction has been criticised on the basis that it makes judgments about which lives are worth living by only allowing persons with specific medical conditions, but not others, to die with assistance.
