() type II NADH dehydrogenase (NDH-2) transports electrons into the mycobacterial respiratory pathway at the cost of reduction of NADH to NAD and is an attractive drug target. Herein, we have synthesised a series of 2-mercaptobenzothiazoles (C1-C14) and evaluated their anti-tubercular potential as NDH-2 inhibitors. The synthesised compounds C1-C14 were evaluated for MIC and ATP depletion against H37Ra, , and H37Rv mc 6230. Compounds C3, C4, and C11 were found to be the active molecules in the series and were further evaluated for their MIC against -resistant strains and for their bactericidal potential against H37Rv mc6230. The Peredox-mCherry-expressing strain was used to examine whether C3, C4, and C11 possess NDH-2 inhibitory potential. Furthermore, cytotoxicity analysis against HepG2 displayed a safety index (SI) of >10 for C3 and C4. To get an insight into the mode of interaction at NDH-2, we have performed computational analysis of our active compounds.

Skin epithelial stem cells correct aberrancies induced by oncogenic mutations. Oncogenes invoke different strategies of epithelial tolerance; while wild-type cells outcompete β-catenin-gain-of-function (βcatGOF) cells, Hras cells outcompete wild-type cells. Here we ask how metabolic states change as wild-type stem cells interface with mutant cells and drive different cell-competition outcomes.

Breast and prostate cancer are among the most commonly diagnosed cancers worldwide. Recent advances in tumor sequencing and gene studies have led to a paradigm shift from treatment centered on the type of tumor to therapy more focused on specific immune phenotype markers and molecular alterations. In this review, we discuss the utility and function of talazoparib concerning prostate cancer treatment and summarize recent and planned clinical trials on talazoparib.

The recommended threshold for the time spent on continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is established at 70%. However, glucose outcomes in children with type 1 diabetes (CwD) using CGM for a different proportion of time within this threshold have not been evaluated yet. The study aims to compare glycemic parameters among CwD who spent 70%-89% and ≥90% on CGM using the population-wide data from the Czech national pediatric diabetes registry ČENDA.

7β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (7β-HSDH) catalyzes the reversible reaction between 7-ketolithocholic acid (7K-LCA) and ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA). However, its much lower forward reaction activity led to the unsatisfactory UDCA production. Here, by autodocking 7K-LCA and UDCA into the structure of Hyphomicrobium sp.
