Molecular pathways with role to play in oral cancer: A mini-review
Molecular pathways with role to play in oral cancer: A mini-review Oral cancer is the sixth most prevalent type of cancer worldwide and third in India out of the different cancer types identified. Mouth and oral cancers collectively refer to cancers of the buccal cavity, lips, oropharynx, hypopharynx, and larynx. Genetic anomalies, the upregulation of…

Synthesis of Indole-Oxadiazole coupled isoxazole hybrids as potent EGFR targeting anticancer agents
Synthesis of Indole-Oxadiazole coupled isoxazole hybrids as potent EGFR targeting anticancer agents The synthesis of new indole-oxadiazole coupled isoxazole hybrids (6a–o) synthesized by the Cu(I)-catalyzed reaction of in situ generated nitrile oxides with 3-(3,5-dichloro-4-methoxyphenyl)-5-(1-(prop-2-yn-1-yl)-1H-indol-3-yl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole in good yields have been reported here. The chemical structures of all newly synthesized hybrids were confirmed by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and…

Synthesis of 1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-Triazole derivatives for investigation of inhibition and molecular docking studies against Xanthine Oxidase
Synthesis of 1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-Triazole derivatives for investigation of inhibition and molecular docking studies against Xanthine Oxidase This study evaluates the inhibition effect of new 1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazoles against Xanthine Oxidase supplemented by molecular modelling. Nine compounds of 1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazoles by Sharpless’s approach have been synthesized in this report. The structures of the synthesized compounds were characterized using FT-IR, 1H…

Impact of resistin gene polymorphism on insulin resistance and Type 2 diabetes in Iraqi Babylon province patients
Impact of resistin gene polymorphism on insulin resistance and Type 2 diabetes in Iraqi Babylon province patients Resistin is cysteine-rich polypeptide produced by adipocytes and macrophages. This study aims to assess the role of resistin and its gene polymorphisms (rs-34861192 G>A, NG-023447 C>G) as potential link between obesity and insulin resistance in the development of…

Synthesis of novel phthalimide-based piperazine conjugated analogs as anti-malarial agents
Synthesis of novel phthalimide-based piperazine conjugated analogs as anti-malarial agents In the present report, we synthesized twelve novel phthalimide analogs and evaluated for antiplasmodial efficacy on Plasmodium falciparum culture. Two molecules exhibited significant inhibition percentages at 1 µM concentration without any apparent cytotoxicity on HepG2 cells. Inhibitory concentration (IC50) for both the hit compounds 6d…

Small-molecules against Oxidative stress mediated Neurodegenerative diseases
Small-molecules against Oxidative stress mediated Neurodegenerative diseases Neurodegenerative diseases, marked by the gradual deterioration of neuronal structure and function, impose a significant burden on global healthcare systems. Oxidative stress, resulting from an imbalance between reactive oxidant production and cellular antioxidant defense, is believed to play a significant role in the development of various neurodegenerative disorders,…

Molecular links between metabolome and epigenome: AMPK-TET2 signalling pathway and their natural activators
Molecular links between metabolome and epigenome: AMPK-TET2 signalling pathway and their natural activators Emerging evidence suggests that sustained diabetes-associated factors such as inflammation, hyperinsulinemia, and hyperglycemia are major contributors to aberrant cell proliferation and subsequent neoplastic transformation. Epidemiological studies have also highlighted that diabetes promoting a sedentary lifestyle, with or without the direct involvement of…

Association of C-peptide with novel hormones in children with type 1 diabetes: A rising potentials for more reliable biomarkers.
Association of C-peptide with novel hormones in children with type 1 diabetes: A rising potentials for more reliable biomarkers. Type 1 diabetes is a heterogeneous disorder caused by reduced β-cell mass as a result of T-cell mediated autoimmune destruction. C-peptide is a linker chain cleaved from proinsulin to produce the mature, functional insulin hormone. Irisin…
