Background: Genetic predilection toward sweeter cariogenic foods mediated by the gene, tested by phenylthiourea [phenylthiocarbamide (PTC)] compounds. Some individuals find it extremely bitter whereas some find it completely tasteless, being classified as a taster and a nontaster respectively. A majority of nontasters prefer foods with sweeter and stronger flavors, thus making them more susceptible to dental caries.

Background: The persistence of HIV mutations and the existence of multidrug resistance have produced an opportunity for an array of innovative anti-HIV medicines with a variety of structures that target HIV key enzymes.

Objective: The goal of this work was to find a new class of anti-HIV drugs founded on HIV integrase inhibitor pharmacophores.

Methods: A novel class of 2-hydroxy acetophenone analogs featuring substituted benzamide or N-phenylthiourea groups was designed and synthesized based on the general pharmacophore of HIV-1 integrase inhibitors (INs).

Background: The TAS2R38 gene carries markers for phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) sensitivity. Various studies have investigated the genotype-phenotype association pattern for bitter tasting ability and other factors in different populations. However, a paucity of such information for endogamous Indian populations is the reason behind this study.

Self-assembled thiophanate-methyl/star polycation complex prevents plant cell-wall penetration and fungal carbon utilization during cotton infection by Verticillium dahliae.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers developed a novel nanodelivery system using a star polycation (SPc) to enhance the effectiveness of the fungicide thiophanate-methyl (TM) against Verticillium dahliae, which causes vascular wilt disease in plants.
  • The SPc-coated TM significantly reduced the size of TM particles and improved its antifungal efficacy, achieving a substantial decrease in fungal colony size and spore count compared to TM alone.
  • This new TM nanoagent not only halted key gene expressions in the pathogen but also showed minimal toxicity to cotton seeds, marking a significant advancement in managing Verticillium wilt effectively.

Gustatory dysfunction is related to Parkinson's disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Int Forum Allergy Rhinol

October 2023

Department of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Chung-Ang University College of Medicine, Dongjak-gu, Seoul, South Korea.

Background: Olfactory dysfunction has been reported to be involved in Parkinson's disease (PD) pathogenesis. However, gustatory dysfunction in PD has not been evaluated as in-depth as olfactory dysfunction. We reviewed the previously published studies regarding gustatory function in PD patients and suggested the possibility that gustatory dysfunction may also be associated with PD.
