Lipid oxidation significantly affects the nutritional value and sensory properties of processed meat products. This study aimed to apply isothermal calorimetry to analyze the oxidation kinetics of fats from chicken, pork, lamb and speck at 40 °C in presence of 2,2'-Azobis(2-methylpropionitrile) (AIBN) radical initiator. Isothermal calorimetry allowed for continuous monitoring of the heat flow developed during the oxidation reaction determining key kinetic parameters such as the induction time (τ), rates of inhibited (R) and uninhibited (R) periods, and oxidizability index (O.I.). The calorimetric data were validated using oximetry and peroxide value measurements (R = 0.99). Chicken fat exhibited longest τ followed by pork > speck > lamb. The results correlated with the concentration of antioxidants, mainly tocopherols, present in the samples. Furthermore, the O.I. of the fat samples varied significantly (p < 0.05) due to the different fatty acid compositions. Overall, isothermal calorimetry provided valuable kinetic insights while enabling the simultaneous analysis of multiple samples.

Lawsone (2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone), also known as hennotannic acid, is a red-orange dye present in the leaves of the henna plant () having lots of biological activities. In this paper, we have investigated the structural basis of binding affinities of Lawsone towards two different targets namely, calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) and protein bovine serum albumin (BSA) using experimental and computational approaches. This phytochemical binds to the minor groove of DNA and Sudlow site II, Domain III of BSA.

carbapenemases (KPCs) have evolved into over 245 distinct variants, with over one-third of variants exhibiting reduced susceptibility to ceftazidime-avibactam, while the underlying selection mechanisms remain elusive. To better elucidate these resistant phenotypes, we cloned 33 clinically described KPC variants (from KPC-2 to KPC-36) and 8 artificially created variants into a common plasmid vector and assessed their impact on β-lactam susceptibility. Strains expressing KPC-14, KPC-28, and KPC-31 exhibited increased resistance to ceftazidime and ceftazidime-avibactam but decreased resistance to carbapenems.

Chemokines, in coordination with glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), play a critical role in regulating inflammatory responses. Among these, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, also known as CCL2 stands out for its role in coordinating with other immune molecules to direct macrophage migration, infiltration, and recruitment to inflamed tissues, highlighting this pathway as a promising target for therapeutic intervention. In the present study, suramin, a polysulfonated napthylurea compound, having structure similarity with heparin, initially developed therapeutic for treating Human African Trypanosomas [HAT] was analyzed for its repressive action against CCL2 arbitrated macrophage migration.

We report the synthesis of a luminescent Pt(II) complex, , based on a "two-wall" aryl-extended calix[4]pyrrole (C[4]P). We characterize its binding properties as a receptor of methyl trioctyl ammonium chloride () in a dichloromethane solution. To this end, we performed H NMR and UV-vis spectroscopic titrations.
