Chalcone derivative, ethyl 2-(4-(3-(benzo[]thiophen-2yl)acryloyl)phenoxy)acetate (), was synthesized. Compound was characterized by proton and carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (H- and C- NMR), fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and mass (LC-ESI-MS/MS) spectroscopic methods. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations for compound were performed at B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level. Optimized geometry, frontier molecular orbitals (HOMO; highest occupied molecular orbital; LUMO: lowest unoccupied molecular orbital), IR and NMR parameters of compound were obtained. The evaluations reveal that the calculation results support the experimental results. The inhibition effects of compound on cholinesterases and GST enzyme were investigated. K and inhibition concentration (IC) values were calculated separately. Ki values of compound were found for GST 14.19 ± 2.15, for AChE 11.13 ± 1.22 and for BChE 8.74 ± 0.76 recpectively. The docking analysis of compound supported the enzym inhibition activity exhibiting high inhibition constant and binding energy for three receptors. Compound is strongly bound to AChE, huBChE and Glutathione S-transferase with binding energies -11.24, -8.56 and -10.39 kcal/mol, respectively.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

This study explored the therapeutic potential of gut microbiota metabolites in managing Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM). Using network pharmacology, molecular docking, and dynamics simulations, we identified key targets and pathways involved in GDM. We screened 135 gut-derived metabolites, with 8 meeting drug-likeness and pharmacokinetic criteria.

In continuation of our efforts to develop new anticancer compounds, a new series of imidazo[1,5-]pyridine-chalcone derivatives was designed, synthesized, characterized, and evaluated for its cytotoxicity against five human cancer cell lines, , breast (MDA-MB-231), colon (RKO), bone (Mg-63), prostate (PC-3), and liver (HepG2) cell lines, as well as a normal cell line (HEK). Among the synthesized compounds, two exhibited promising cytotoxicity against the MDA-MB-231 cell line with IC values of 4.23 ± 0.

Objectives: This study intended to explore whether the protective effect safflower yellow injection (SYI) on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats mediated of the NLRP3 inflammasome signaling.
Methods: The I/R model was prepared by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery for 45 min and then releasing the blood flow for 150 min. 96 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into sham group, I/R group, Hebeishuang group (HBS), SYI high-dose group (I/R + SYI-H), SYI medium-dose group (I/R + SYI-M) and SYI low-dose group (I/R + SYI-L).

Soybean (Glycine max) is a leguminous crop cultivated worldwide that accumulates high levels of isoflavones. Although previous research has often focused on increasing the soybean isoflavone content because of the estrogen-like activity of dietary soy in humans, the rapidly increasing demand for soybean as a plant-based meat substitute has raised concerns about excessive isoflavone intake. Therefore, the production of isoflavone-free soybean has been anticipated.
