Ancient DNA reveals Indigenous dog lineages found at Jamestown, Virginia

Science Daily: Pharmacology News

Previous scientific studies have indicated that North American dog lineages were replaced with European ones between 1492 and the present day. To better understand the timing of this replacement, researchers sequenced mitochondrial DNA from archaeological dogs.

Lingering effects of Neanderthal DNA found in modern humans

Science Daily: Pharmacology News

Recent scientific discoveries have shown that Neanderthal genes comprise some 1 to 4% of the genome of present-day humans whose ancestors migrated out of Africa, but the question remained open on how much those genes are still actively influencing human traits -- until now.

Reviewing the IDH1 Mutation‐Mediated Mechanism of Drug Resistance and Revisiting Its Overcoming Strategies

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

At present, there are few studies on the drug resistance of mIDH1 inhibitors. Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) is a key metabolic enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of isocitrate to -ketoglutaric acid (-KG). When IDH1 undergoes mutation, it catalyzes the conversion of -KG into the oncogenic metabolite 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG).

Fused and Substituted Piperazines as Anticancer Agents: A Review

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

The piperazine moiety is used as the building block of several molecules and is reported to have the ability to inhibit the cell cycle (G1/S phase), inhibit angiogenesis, and interact with DNA. Thus, the presented review will help medicinal chemists in designing anticancer molecules with piperazines.
