Unveiling the Anticancer Properties of New Synthesized Alkoxy‐ and Methyl Thio‐Chalcone Derivatives

Natural Sciences, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Breast and cervical cancers are a serious problem and the leading cause of death in women in this decade. Chalcone is a promising compound with great potential for anticancer use. In this work, we synthesized six chalcone derivatives with alkoxy‐ and methylthio‐substituents through Claisen–Schmidt condensation at room temperature.

5-Nitroisatin-derived thiosemicarbazones: potential antileishmanial agents [PDF]

Journal of Enzyme Inhibition and Medicinal Chemistry, 2013
A series of 29 previously reported N(4)-substituted 5-nitroisatin-3-thiosemicarbazones 2-30 has been screened for leishmanicidal potential. Compounds 2-4, 7, 8, 10-13, 15-19, 21, 23, 24, 26, 28 and 30 exhibited good to excellent antileishmanial activities with IC50 values ranging from 0.44 ± 0.02 to 32.38 ± 0.66 µg/mL.

Selenium biofortification: integrating one health and sustainability

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 4, Page 1955-1967, 15 March 2026.
Abstract Selenium (Se) biofortification in crops has emerged as a promising strategy to address global Se deficiencies and enhance both agricultural productivity and human health. Increasing the Se content of crops through biofortification improves their resilience to abiotic and biotic stresses and boosts their nutritional value.

Piperazine-linked bisbenzamidines: a novel class of antileishmanial agents

European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 2004
A series of 13 1,4-diarylpiperazines has been prepared, evaluated for antileishmanial activity and their binding affinity to DNA was measured. Among these compounds, 1,4-bis[4-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)phenyl]piperazine (14) emerged as the most active compound with an IC(50) value of 0.41 microM which is about sevenfold more potent than pentamidine.

Phytochemical Profiling of the Halophyte Artemisia fukudo Makino and Its In Vitro Effects on Androgen‐Related Pathways Associated With Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia and Alopecia

ChemistryOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study investigated the phytochemical constituents of the halophyte Artemisia fukudo, leading to the isolation and identification of eight compounds characterized by HPLC–DAD and ESI–MS. Importantly, we demonstrate for the first time that jaceidin inhibits 5α‐reductase type 2 and downregulates BPH‐associated proteins (AR, PSA, and PCNA) in prostate
