Monoamine oxidase and cholinesterase enzymes are important targets for the treatment of several neurological diseases especially depression, Parkinson disease and Alzheimer's. Here, we report the synthesis and testing of new 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives as novel inhibitors of monoamine oxidase enzymes (MAO-A and MAO-B) and cholinesterase enzymes (acetyl and butyryl cholinesterase (AChE, BChE). Compounds 4c, 4d, 4e, 4g, 4j, 4k, 4m, 4n displayed promising inhibitory effects on MAO-A (IC: 0.11-3.46 μM), MAO-B (IC: 0.80-3.08 μM) and AChE (IC: 0.83-2.67 μM). Interestingly, compounds 4d, 4e and 4g are multitargeting MAO-A/B and AChE inhibitors. Also, Compound 4m displayed promising MAO-A inhibition with IC of 0.11 μM and high selectivity (∼25-fold) over MAO-B and AChE enzymes. These newly synthesized analogues represent promising hits for the development of promising lead compounds for neurological disease treatment.

This study presents T-1-NBAB, a new compound derived from the natural xanthine alkaloid theobromine, aimed at inhibiting VEGFR-2, a crucial protein in angiogenesis. T-1-NBAB's potential to interacts with and inhibit the VEGFR-2 was indicated using in silico techniques like molecular docking, MD simulations, MM-GBSA, PLIP, essential dynamics, and bi-dimensional projection experiments. DFT experiments was utilized also to study the structural and electrostatic properties of T-1-NBAB.

Melatonin increases Pb tolerance in P. ovata seedlings via the regulation of growth and stress-related phytohormones, ROS scavenging and genes responsible for melatonin synthesis, metal chelation, and stress defense. Lead (Pb) is a highly toxic heavy metal that accumulates in plants through soil and air contamination and impairs its plant growth and development.

Summary: Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a genetic disorder due to pathological variants in ALPL, the gene encoding tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (ALP). HPP is typically associated with bone-related symptoms, such as bone deformity, fractures and bone pain in children, but can appear in adults with symptoms resembling arthritis. A 22-year-old male experienced repeated and severe sudden attacks of joint pain in the elbows and knees.
