The tetrazole group is here proposed as a zinc-binding warhead for the inhibition of the metalloenzyme carbonic anhydrases. A set of synthesized derivatives incorporating the tetrazole moiety were evaluated as inhibitors against a panel of human isoforms, exhibiting values spanning between the submicromolar and low-to-medium micromolar ranges (0.62-19.6 μM). X-ray crystallographic studies were conducted to gain insights into their modes of binding to the target enzyme. These findings mark a significant advancement in the search for inhibitory chemotypes other than classical sulfonamides.

The objective of the study was to synthesize tetrazole molecules featuring nitro groups positioned at the para and meta locations. We aimed to assess their effectiveness in inhibiting corrosion of mild steel in a 1 M HCl solution at 298 K. Tetrazoles with 2,5-disubstitution were created using [3 + 2] cycloaddition and N-alkylation techniques, with a particular emphasis on synthesizing molecules that contain nitro groups.

The goal of this study was to synthesize and evaluate new antimicrobial compounds. We specifically focused on the development of 2,5-disubstituted tetrazole derivatives containing the O-methyl-2,3-O-isopropylidene-(D)-ribofuranoside groups through N-alkylation reactions. The synthesized compounds were characterized using H and C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.

Valsartan (VST) is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist with low oral bioavailability. The present study developed a solid self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (S-SNEDDS) to enhance the oral absorption and bioavailability of VST. VST-loaded liquid SNEDDS (VST@L-SNEDDS) was prepared by investigating the solubility of VST and constructing the pseudo-ternary phase diagrams.

Background: The search for new antifungal agents is critical due to the rising resistance of fungal pathogens to existing treatments. This study focuses on the synthesis and evaluation of a novel compound, 1-benzyl-5-methyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid (compound L1), as a potential antifungal agent.
Methods: Compound L1 was synthesized and characterized using a range of analytical techniques, including 1H^1H1H NMR, 13C^{13}C13C NMR, FT-IR, GC-MS, and X-ray single crystal diffraction (XRD).

Cilostazol has previously been shown to reduce liver steatosis and enhance hepatic perfusion. We investigated the effects of cilostazol after major hepatectomy in a steatotic rat model. Six weeks prior to surgery, Sprague-Dawley rats were fed with a high-fructose diet.
