Currently approved Alzheimer's disease medications mainly comprise acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. Many of these inhibitors are either natural compounds or synthetic molecules inspired in natural compounds. Hybrid molecules that can interact with different target sites of the enzyme could lead to the discovery of effective multitarget drugs.
To design, synthesize, and evaluate a series of new aza-resveratrol analogs as in vitro acetyl- and butyrylcholinesterase inhibitors.
The synthesis is achieved by a simple and efficient microwave-assisted method, from commercially available starting materials. Compounds are designed as hybrids of an aza-stilbene nucleus (Schiff base) connected to a tertiary amine by a hydrocarbon chain of variable length, designed to interact both with the peripheric anionic site and the catalytic site of the enzyme.
All the derivatives inhibit both enzymes in a concentration-dependent manner, acting as moderate to potent cholinesterase inhibitors. The most potent inhibitors are compounds 12b (IC
= 0.43 μM) and 12a (IC
= 0.31 μM) for acetyl- and butyrylcholinesterase, respectively. Compounds 12a and 12b also exhibit significant acetylcholinesterase inhibition in SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells without cytotoxic properties. Enzyme kinetic studies and molecular modeling reveal that inhibitor 12b targets both the catalytic active site and the peripheral anionic site of acetylcholinesterase what makes it able to modulate the self-induced β-amyloid aggregation. Furthermore, the molecular modeling analysis helps to assess the impact of the linker length in the inhibitory activity of this family of new cholinesterase inhibitors.
These compounds have the potential to serve as a dual binding site inhibitor and might provide a useful template for the development of new anti-Alzheimer's disease agents.

The epidemiological studies revealed the drastic spectrum of SARS-CoV 2 infection ranging from mere flu-like symptoms to the severe respiratory suppression within a short period. Initially, cases have confined in the emerging point, Wuhan, China. But, within a few months, it has spread all over 212 countries around the globe and presently has become a severe threat to human life. Even though it is a severe acute respiratory syndrome virus, recent reports came with multiple organ effects of SARS-CoV 2, suggesting the virulence potential of this novel Virus to sweep the planet in the absence of a proper vaccine or therapy. In this review, we discuss the multi-organ pathophysiology of COVID-19 infection together with the treatment methods adopted and innovative diagnostic methods used.
Increasing prevalence of multiple antibiotic resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae strains confines the therapeutic options used to treat bacterial infections.
We aimed in this study to investigate the role of AcrAB, qepA efflux pump, and AAC(6')-Ib-cr enzyme in ciprofloxacin resistance and to detect the RAPD-PCR fingerprint of K. pneumoniae isolates.
In total, 117 K. pneumoniae isolates were collected from hospitalized patients in three hospitals in Tehran, Iran from August 2013 to March 2014. Antimicrobial susceptibility tests were performed by the disk diffusion method. Molecular identification and expression level of encoding quinolone resistance genes, acrA, acrB, qepA, and aac(6')-Ib-cr, was performed by PCR and real-time PCR assays, respectively. All the K. pneumoniae isolates containing these genes was used simultaneously for RAPD-PCR typing.
Colistin and carbapenems were the most efficient antibiotics against the clinical isolates of K. pneumoniae. PCR assay demonstrated that among the 117 isolates, 110 (94%) and 102 (87%) were positive for acrA and acrB gene, and for qepA and aac(6')-Ib-cr genes, 5 (4%) and 100 (85%) isolates were detected, respectively. Determination of AcrAB pump expression in 21% of strains demonstrated an increased expression, and the mean increase expression for acrB genes was 0.5-81. The results of RAPD-PCR reflected that in 95% CI, all isolates belong to a clone.
A high prevalence of genes encoding quinolone resistance in K. pneumoniae was detected in clinical samples. Therefore, control of infection and prevention of drug-resistant bacteria spread need careful management of medication and identification of resistant isolates.

It may be associated with several reasons and one of the major causes of fever is mosquito bite. Fever due to dengue virus (DENV) infection is being paid most attention out of several other fevers because of a large number of deaths reported worldwide. EN4 order Dengue virus is transmitted by biting of the mosquitoes, Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. DENV1, DENV2, DENV3 and DENV4 are the four serotypes of dengue virus and these serotypes have 65% similarities in their genomic structure. Genome of DENV is composed of single stranded RNA and it encodes for the polyprotein. Structural and non-structural proteins (nsP) are the two major part of protese. Researchers have paid high attention on the non-structural protease (nsP) of DENV like nsP1, nsP2A, nsP2B, nsP3, nsP4A, nsP4B and nsP5. The NS2B-NS3 protease of DENV is the prime target of the researchers as it is responsible for the catalytic activity. In the present time, Dengvaxia (vaccine) is being recommended to the patients suffering severely due to DENV infection in few countries only. Till date, neither a vaccine nor an effective medicine is available to combat with all four serotypes. This review describes the fever, its causes and studies to cure the infection due to DENV using theoretical and experimental approaches.
Ligustrazine and chalcones have been reported previously for various biological activities including anticancer effects.
Based on the multitargeted biological activities approach of ligustrazine based chalcones, in current study 18 synthetic ligustrazine-containing α, β-unsaturated carbonyl-based 1, 3-Diphenyl-2-propen-1-one derivatives were evaluated for their inhibitory effects on growth of five different types of cancer cells.
All compounds were evaluated for anticancer effects on various cancer cell lines by propidium iodide fluorescence assay and various other assays were performed for mechanistic studies.
Majority of compounds exhibited strong inhibition of cancer cells especially synthetic compounds 4a and 4b bearing 1-Pyridin-3-yl-ethanone as a ketone moiety in main structural backbone were found most powerful inhibitors of cancer cell growth. Most active 9 compounds among whole series were selected for further studies related to different cancer targets including EGFR TK kinases, tubulin polymerization, KAF and BRAFV600E.
Synthetic derivatives including 4a-b and 5a-b showed multitarget approach and showed strong inhibitory effects on EGFR, FAK and BRAF while three compounds including 3e bearing methoxy substitution, 4a and 4b with 1- pyridin-3-yl-ethanone moiety showed the inhibition of tubulin polymerization.

However, patients with RA or other arthritic diseases such as psoriatic arthritis (PsA) or peripheral spondyloarthritis (pSpA) are at a higher risk of developing several other pulmonary diseases, such as chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD), compared to patients without arthritis. This review aims at summarizing the current knowledge on the prevalence of pulmonary diseases in the above-mentioned forms of arthritis, the challenges faced by prevalence studies in detecting pulmonary diseases in patients with arthritis, as well as possible treatment options. Dyspnea, cough or other pulmonary symptoms in arthritis patients should prompt gradual diagnostic procedures considering pulmonary manifestations as a major cluster of differential diagnosis. However, treatment options often lack solid evidence-based guidelines and referrals to specialized centers are often necessary.Multiple studies on the pathomechanisms of depressive disorder and antidepressants have been reported. However, literature involving scientometric analysis of depressive disorder is sparse. Here, we use scientometric analysis and a historical review to highlight recent research on depression. We use the former to examine research on depressive disorders from 1998 to 2018. The latter is used to identify the most frequent keywords in keyword analysis, as well as explore hotspots and depression trends. Scientometric analysis uncovered field distribution, knowledge structure, research topic evolution, and topics emergence as main explorations in depressive disorder. Induction factor, comorbidity, pathogenesis, therapy and animal models of depression help illustrate occurrence, development and treatment of depressive disorder. Scientometric analysis found 231,270 research papers on depression, a 4-fold increase over the last 20 years. These findings offer a vigorous roadmap for further studies in this field.
