The development of a nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SAr) reaction for the synthesis of belzutifan and related analogues is disclosed. This classical transformation suffered from reaction stalling, despite prolonged reaction times. Through experimental and mechanistic studies, product inhibition was revealed and rationalized. Herein, we describe our efforts to overcome this synthetic challenge and demonstrate the importance of the judicious choice of the solvent to achieve reactivity.

Ferulic acid (FA) is a phenolic compound obtained naturally and is a versatile antioxidant identified for its potential in managing hypertension. However, its application is constrained due to its classification as a BCS Class IV moiety. To address this, we concentrated on improving its solubility and permeability by developing nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) of FA using emulsification probe sonication technique.

Targeted protein degradation (TPD) represents a promising alternative to conventional occupancy-driven protein inhibition. Despite the existence of more than 600 E3 ligases in the human proteome, so far only a few have been utilized for TPD of histone deacetylases (HDACs), which represent important epigenetic anticancer drug targets. In this study, we disclose the first-in-class Fem-1 homologue B (FEM1B)-recruiting HDAC degraders.

Background: Modulation of protein synthesis according to the physiological cues is maintained through tight control of Eukaryotic Elongation Factor 2 (eEF2), whose unique translocase activity is essential for cell viability. Phosphorylation of eEF2 at its Thr56 residue inactivates this function in translation. In our previous study we reported a novel mode of post-translational modification that promotes higher efficiency in T56 phosphorylation.

Abies pindrow, a vital conifer in the Kashmir Himalayan forests, faces threats from low regeneration rates, deforestation, grazing, and climate change, highlighting the urgency for restoration efforts. In this context, we investigated the diversity of potential culturable seed endophytes in A. pindrow, assessed their plant growth-promoting (PGP) activities, and their impact on seed germination and seedling growth.

Cellular senescence is a complex biological response to sublethal damage. The RNA-binding protein HNRNPK was previously found to decrease prominently during senescence in human diploid fibroblasts. Here, analysis of the mechanisms leading to reduced HNRNPK abundance revealed that in cells undergoing senescence, mRNA levels declined transcriptionally and full-length HNRNPK protein was progressively lost, while the abundance of a truncated HNRNPK increased.
