A series of novel piperazine based cinnamic acid bearing coumarin derivatives were designed and synthesized by piperazine based cinnamic acids esterification with 4-hydroxycoumarin and characterized by various spectral techniques like infrared, H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), C NMR, and mass. The novel bioactive compounds (7a-7m) screen their potential against different bacterial and fungal strains. Compound 7g (minimum inhibitory concentration [MIC] = 12.5 µg/ml) exhibited potent antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli strain. Compounds 7d, 7f, 7g, 7k, 7l, and 7m showed potent antibacterial activity against all bacterial strains. Compounds 7a, 7g, 7h, 7k, 7l, and 7m exhibited potent antifungal activity against all fungal strains. Furthermore, a molecular docking study revealed that compounds 7d, 7f, 7g, and 7k could bind to the active site of E. coli DNA gyrase subunit B protein and form hydrogen bonding with crucial amino acid residues Arg136 in the active sites. Comprehensively, our study recommends that 7d, 7f, 7g, and 7k could be a promising lead for developing more efficient antimicrobial drug candidates and DNA gyrase inhibitors.

Studying the changes in cellular transcriptional profiles induced by small molecules can significantly advance our understanding of cellular state alterations and response mechanisms under chemical perturbations, which plays a crucial role in drug discovery and screening processes. Considering that experimental measurements need substantial time and cost, we developed a deep learning-based method called Molecule-induced Transcriptional Change Predictor (MiTCP) to predict changes in transcriptional profiles (CTPs) of 978 landmark genes induced by molecules. MiTCP utilizes graph neural network-based approaches to simultaneously model molecular structure representation and gene co-expression relationships, and integrates them for CTP prediction.

Chordoma is a rare malignant tumor with a higher incidence in males than in females. There is an increasing number of clinical studies related to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), yet the efficacy and safety of different drugs vary. In this single-arm meta-analysis evaluating the efficacy and safety of TKIs for chordoma treatment, 12 studies involving 365 patients were analyzed.

Background And Objective: Because of the lack of effective targeted treatment options, docetaxel has long been the standard second-line therapy for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer, including the Kirsten rat sarcoma virus (KRAS) G12C mutation. The CodeBreak 200 trial demonstrated that sotorasib, a new drug targeting the G12C-mutated KRAS protein, modestly improved progression-free survival compared with docetaxel in patients whose cancer had progressed after receiving platinum chemotherapy and programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) / programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitors as first-line treatment. Consequently, sotorasib received temporary approval in Switzerland.

The precise monitoring of pH is critical in various applications, particularly in biology-related areas. In this work, we report the synthesis and characterization of a novel cyanine-based fluorescent pH sensor with a pK around 6. This pH-sensitive dye features a cyanine chromophore coupled to a piperazine moiety, which modulates the protonation equilibrium and thus the optical response.
