Tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 1 and 2 (Tdp1 and Tdp2) are DNA repair enzymes that repair DNA damage caused by various agents, including anticancer drugs. Thus, these enzymes resist anticancer therapy and could be the reason for resistance to such widely used drugs such as topotecan and etoposide. In the present work, we found compounds capable of inhibiting both enzymes among derivatives of (-)-usnic acid. Both (+)- and (-)-enantiomers of compounds act equally effectively against Tdp1 with IC values in the range of 0.02-0.2 μM; only (-)-enantiomers inhibited Tdp2 with IC values in the range of 6-9 μM. Surprisingly, the compounds protect HEK293FT wild type cells from the cytotoxic effect of etoposide (CC 3.0-3.9 μM in the presence of compounds and 2.4 μM the presence of DMSO) but potentiate it against Tdp2 knockout cells (CC 1.2-1.6 μM in the presence of compounds against 2.3 μM in the presence of DMSO). We assume that the sensitizing effect of the compounds in the absence of Tdp2 is associated with the effective inhibition of Tdp1, which could take over the functions of Tdp2.

Background: The existence of multiple phenolic hydroxyl groups in anthocyanins makes their structure unstable and leads to the degradation of anthocyanins. At present, there are few studies on the stability and physiological activity of Aronia melanocarpa L. anthocyanins by different polysaccharides.

At the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (FDNPS), continuous water circulation cools fuel debris, leading to the presence of radionuclides such as Sr-30, Cs-137, and I-129 in the cooling water. These radionuclides are adsorbed and co-precipitated by various materials. Among them, I-129 is a key radionuclide for safety assessment during the final disposal of adsorbent and co-precipitation materials, owing to its long half-life and poor sorption.

Polymerizable deep eutectic solvents (PDESs) have emerged as promising building blocks for next-generation eutectic gels, offering new opportunities for the development of advanced electronic devices. Traditional PDES fabrication typically involves heating and extended processing time. In this study, a facile method where a solid-solid mixture of lithium bis(trifluoromethane) sulfonimide (LiTFSI) and acrylamide (AAm) rapidly forms a PDES at room temperature, significantly simplifying the ionogel preparation is presented.

Objectives: The trend in declining age at menarche (AAM) largely continues while body size increases globally. The aim was to investigate trends in AAM, menstrual characteristics, and post-menarcheal anthropometric parameters in adolescents living in an urban area in Türkiye between 1999 and 2018.
Methods: Female adolescent high school students in the Manisa region were asked about menarche and socioeconomic status (SES).

An alternative synthetic pathway was proposed for the optimization of synthesis to find a better correlation between the swelling and elasticity of hyaluronic acid-interpenetrated gels via temperature regulation. An experimental design methodology was presented for the synthesis of polyacrylamide/poly(acrylic acid sodium salt)/hyaluronic acid, PAAm/PSA/HyA, gels by modifying the one-pot procedure using free radical crosslinking copolymerization of AAm with the addition of anionic linear PSA chains in the presence of various amount of HyA, ranging between 0.05% and 0.
