We report the selective functionalization of the 1-imidazo[1,2-]pyrazole scaffold using a Br/Mg-exchange, as well as regioselective magnesiations and zincations with TMP-bases (TMP = 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidyl), followed by trapping reactions with various electrophiles. In addition, we report a fragmentation of the pyrazole ring, giving access to push-pull dyes with a proaromatic (1,3-dihydro-2-imidazol-2-ylidene)malononitrile core. These functionalization methods were used in the synthesis of an isostere of the indolyl drug pruvanserin. Comparative assays between the original drug and the isostere showed that a substitution of the indole ring with a 1-imidazo[1,2-]pyrazole results in a significantly improved solubility in aqueous media.

Comparative evaluation of left atrial size in healthy cats measured by two-dimensional echocardiography and cardiovascular MRI.
J Feline Med Surg
January 2025
College of Veterinary Medicine, China Agricultural University, Beijing, China.
Objectives: This study aimed to assess left atrial (LA) size in healthy cats using cardiovascular MRI (cMRI) and to compare this with LA size assessed by two-dimensional echocardiography. The hypothesis was that cMRI would accurately determine LA size in domestic cats.
Methods: A prospective comparative study was performed.
Associations between inflammation and striatal dopamine D2-receptor availability in aging.
J Neuroinflammation

Department of Medical and Translational Biology, Umeå university, Umeå, 901 87, Sweden.
Background: Normal brain aging is associated with dopamine decline, which has been linked to age-related cognitive decline. Factors underlying individual differences in dopamine integrity at older ages remain, however, unclear. Here we aimed at investigating: (i) whether inflammation is associated with levels and 5-year changes of in vivo dopamine D2-receptor (DRD2) availability, (ii) if DRD2-inflammation associations differ between men and women, and (iii) whether inflammation and cerebral small-vessel disease (white-matter lesions) serve as two independent predictors of DRD2 availability.

Department of Anatomy and Neuroscience, Institute of Medicine, University of Tsukuba, 1-1- 1, Tennodai, Tsukuba, Ibaraki, 305-8577, Japan.
Objective: Reactivity of microglia, the resident cells of the brain, underlies innate immune mechanisms (e.g., injury repair), and disruption of microglial reactivity has been shown to facilitate psychiatric disorder dysfunctions.

BMC Cancer
January 2025
Department of Biomedical Sciences, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, Bahir Dar University, Bahir Dar, P.O. Box 79, Ethiopia.
Background: Chemotherapy is a well-established therapeutic approach for several malignancies, including breast cancer (BCa). However, the clinical efficacy of this drug is limited by cardiotoxicity. Assessing multiple cardiac biomarkers can help identify patients at risk of adverse outcomes from chemotherapy.

Nursing School, Medical College of Hengyang, University of South China, Hengyang, China.
Background: China is experiencing an increasingly serious aging population. Cognitive function is an important factor and guarantee for the quality of life of older people. Therefore, to achieve healthy aging, this study aimed to examine the sequential multiple mediating effects of indoor ventilation frequency and cognitive function on anxiety and self-rated health in the Chinese older people population.
