This study focuses on the design, synthesis, and evaluation of benzimidazole derivatives for their anti-tumor activity against A549 and PC-3 cells. Initial screening using the MTT assay identified compound 5m as the most potent inhibitor of A549 cells with an IC of 7.19 μM, which was superior to the positive agents 5-Fluorouracil and Gefitinib.

We report the discovery of small molecules that target the RNA tertiary structure of self-splicing group II introns and display potent antifungal activity against yeasts, including the major public health threat . High-throughput screening efforts against a yeast group II intron resulted in an inhibitor class which was then synthetically optimized for enhanced inhibitory activity and antifungal efficacy. The most highly refined compounds in this series display strong, gene-specific antifungal activity against .

Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) is a promising target for treating neurodegenerative disorders, several cancer types and viral infections. Unique among HDACs, the HDAC6 isoform possesses a zinc finger ubiquitin-binding domain (UBD) crucial for managing misfolded protein aggregates and facilitating viral infection. HDAC6 binds aggregated polyubiquitinated proteins through its UBD, mediating their transport to the aggresome and subsequent removal via autophagy.

Mast cells, immune sentinels that respond to various stimuli in barrier organs, provide defense by expressing pattern recognition receptors, such as Toll-like receptors (TLRs). They may affect inflammatory responses and wound healing. Here, we investigated the effect of TLR2/6-stimulated mast cells on wound healing in keratinocytes.

Plant architecture greatly contributes to grain yield, but the epigenetic regulation of plant architecture remains elusive. Here, we identified the maize (Zea mays L.) mutant plant architecture 1 (par1), which shows reduced plant height, shorter and narrower leaves, and larger leaf angles than the wild type.
