Chalcones in Dermatology

, 2021
The human skin is pivotal for protecting the body from various stresses and diseases, regulating several physiological aspects, and sensing any signal changes around the environment. To work and function optimally, the skin should be protected and cared regularly by using some treatments.

Pyrene‐linked heterocyclic pyrazoles: Synthesis, antimicrobial screening, and in silico molecular insights

Smart Molecules, EarlyView.
A series of novel pyrene‐linked heterocyclic pyrazoles were synthesized and structurally characterized. The compounds were evaluated for antimicrobial activity against selected bacterial and fungal strains, showing promising inhibitory effects. Molecular docking studies provided insights into binding interactions and structure–activity relationships ...

Peptide‐directed nanovehicles enabling tumor‐selective ROS amplification and antitumor immunity

VIEW, EarlyView.
Cancer cells are vulnerable to oxidative stress, yet exploit immune tolerance to escape destruction. In contrast, their metabolic profile is markedly altered to support rapid proliferation, accompanied by elevated production of reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Therapeutic potential of a Bax inhibitor‐1/TMBIM6 antagonist (BIA) and its analogues in Aspergillus fumigatus‐induced asthma via dual targeting of AKT and epithelial‐derived inflammatory cytokines

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Aspergillus fumigatus (A. fumigatus) exposure causes of severe allergic asthma, characterized by airway inflammation and epithelial dysfunction. TMBIM6 (Bax inhibitor‐1) has been implicated in airway epithelial stress responses and AKT signalling.

Powdered hibiscus anthocyanin‐nanofibril complexes as natural colourants: Stability and application in yoghurt and soft candy

Coloration Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract The instability of anthocyanins limits their application as natural food colorants. This study aimed to enhance the stability of anthocyanins extracted from Hibiscus sabdariffa through copigmentation with protein nanofibrils produced from pea, rice, gluten and whey isolates. Linear and curly nanofibril structures were prepared and incorporated

A Way to Improve Luminescent Efficiency of Bis-Chalcone Derivatives

Journal of Chemistry, 2016
Chalcone related compounds have been reported as a poor luminescence molecule due to the quenching processes from the intramolecular torsional motions and cis-trans isomerization in the α,β-unsaturated ketone moiety.

CD36‐mediated lipid rewiring in the metabolic adaptation of tumour ecosystems

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Nutrient deprivation drives a lipid‐centric shift in tumour metabolic symbiosis and signalling network. CD36 functions as a bidirectional bridge, transferring fatty acids from stromal donors (adipocytes, CAFs) to the ecosystem tumour‐ and microenvironment‐dependently.

Arabidopsis inositol polyphosphate kinase activities regulate COP9 deneddylation functions in phosphate homeostasis

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Plant phosphate (Pi) homeostasis relies on coordinated activities of the inositol polyphosphate kinases IPK1 and ITPK1, which balance localized InsP7 biosynthesis to control COP9 signalosome (CSN)‐dependent deneddylation of cullin 1 (CUL1). Perturbation of this equilibrium affects the stability of SPX4, a key negative regulator of phosphate starvation ...

Rational reduction of a sorghum SynCom that preserves growth promotion reveals flavonoid‐mediated plant–microbe interactions

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Synthetic community complexity reduction designs. Summary Plant growth is influenced by the composition of its associated microbiome. The inherent complexity and functional redundancy of natural plant microbiomes present a formidable barrier to understanding the myriad biological interactions therein.

Synthesis of Anti-Inflammatory Drugs’ Chalcone Derivatives and a Study of Their Conformational Properties Through a Combination of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy and Molecular Modeling

Pharmaceuticals
Background: In this study, two chalcone analogs were synthesized through in silico and experimental methods, and their potential to inhibit the lipoxygenase enzyme, which plays a role in the inflammation pathway, was assessed. Specifically, this study is
