Sound waves thought to be from a 2014 meteor fireball north of Papua New Guinea were almost certainly vibrations from a truck rumbling along a nearby road, new research shows. The findings raise doubts that materials pulled last year from the ocean are alien materials from that meteor, as was widely reported.

Synthesis, in silico screening, and anti-epileptic activity of novel pyridine analogs. Abstract The research involves the synthesis of a series of new pyridine analogs 5(i-x) and their evaluation for anti-epileptic potential using in silico and in vivo models. Synthesis of the compounds was accomplished by using the Vilsmeier-Haack reaction principle.

Renal fibrosis is distinguished by the abnormal deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) and progressive loss of nephron function, with a lack of effective treatment options in clinical practice. In this study, we discovered that the Beclin-1-derived peptide MP1 significantly inhibits the abnormal expression of fibrosis and Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related markers, including α-Smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), Fibronectin (FN), Collagen I (Col I), Matrix metallopeptidase 2 (M

A new class of quinoxaline aryl ether compounds was designed and synthesized. These compounds were tested on HCT-116, MDA-MB-231, and DU-145 cancer lines. The three cancer cell lines responded best to FQ and MQ, which were investigated for apoptosis. Molecular docking/dynamic studies of FQ and MQ at c-Met kinase (PDB: 3F66) were also done. Abstract We designed and synthesized thirty novel quinoxaline aryl ethers as anticancer agents, and the structures of final compounds were confirmed with vari

The drug-drug interaction (DDI) between Amiodarone (AMIO) and Sofosbuvir (SOF), a direct-acting Hepatitis-C NS5B Nucleotide Polymerase Inhibitor, has been associated with severe bradyarrhythmia in patients. Recent Cryo-EM data has revealed that this DDI occurs at the α-subunit of L-type Cav channels (LTCC), with AMIO binding at the fenestration site and SOF (or MNI-1: analog of SOF) binding at the central cavity of the conductance pathway.

BMSCs were isolated from the femurs of SD rats aged 7–8 weeks and identified by flow cytometry. BMSCs were inoculated into Ag2O-TiO2-NTs and added into stem cell osteogenic induction differentiation culture medium. Extracellular LDH enzyme activity was detected at 7 and 14 days of induction, respectively, and osteogenic genes in BMSCs were detected by qRT-PCR.

The advent of HER2-targeted monoclonal antibodies such as trastuzumab has significantly improved the clinical outcomes for patients with breast cancer overexpressing HER2, and more recently also for gastric cancers. However, the development of resistance, as is frequently the case for other antineoplastic modalities, constrains clinical efficacy. Multiple molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways have been investigated for their potential involvement in the development of resistance to HER2-ta

Four children have remained free of detectable HIV for more than one year after their antiretroviral therapy (ART) was paused to see if they could achieve HIV remission, according to new research. The children, who acquired HIV before birth, were enrolled in a clinical trial in which an ART regimen was started within 48 hours of birth and then closely monitored for drug safety and HIV viral suppression.

The benzimidazole opioids (BO, substituted nitazenes) are highly potent MOR agonists with heroin- or fentanyl-like effects. These compounds have caused hospitalizations and fatal overdoses. We characterized the in vitro pharmacology and structure-activity relationships of 19 nitazenes with substitutions at three positions of the benzimidazole core. Affinities were assessed using agonist radioligand binding assays at human mu, kappa, and delta opioid receptors (MOR, KOR, and DOR, respectively) he

Researchers from the University of California, San Francisco have designed a candidate drug that modifies the cancer-causing mutation K-Ras G12D, which could turn pancreatic cancer into a treatable condition. K-Ras G12D is responsible for almost half of all pancreatic cancer cases, and appears in lung, breast and colon cancers. The G12D alteration is the most common mutation in lung cancer patients with no history of cigarette smoking. 1 Although pancreatic cancer is rarer than the abovementione
