Valorization of Ficus carica Pruning Residues as Selective Botanical Insecticides: Optimized Furanocoumarin Extraction, Efficacy Against Neotropical Stink Bugs, and Mechanistic Insights via Molecular Docking

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 122, Issue 4, August 2026.
Optimized extracts from Ficus carica pruning waste exhibit strong biological activity against major stink bug pests. Complementary in silico analyses suggest this efficacy relies on pest‐specific acetylcholinesterase inhibition, predicting a promising, pollinator‐safe alternative for sustainable agriculture.

Accelerated Biological Aging, Neurodegenerative Disease, and Mortality in Cardiovascular Disease Patients: Mediation and Modification Analysis

CNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
In cardiovascular disease (CVD) patients, accelerated biological aging is independently associated with elevated mortality risk, which is mediated by neurodegenerative disease. Early‐onset CVD amplifies the mortality risk, whereas a healthy lifestyle confers partial protection.

Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation of Chiral Urea and Thiourea Derivatives as Multitarget‐Directed Anti‐Alzheimer Agents

Drug Development Research, Volume 87, Issue 5, August 2026.
ABSTRACT A series of novel chiral urea and thiourea compounds were designed as multitarget‐directed ligands for Alzheimer's disease and evaluated against hAChE, hBChE, and hMAO‐B, with exploratory assessment of HSD10. These chiral compounds were synthesized and fully characterized, and their enantiopurity was confirmed via HPLC.

Discovery of a Potent and Selective MAO‐B Inhibitor From a Donepezil‐Linked Chalcone Library With Promising Antiparkinsonian Activity

Drug Development Research, Volume 87, Issue 5, August 2026.
ABSTRACT A focused library of 19 donepezil‐linked chalcones (DLCs) was efficiently synthesised through microwave‐assisted Claisen‐Schmidt condensation and subsequently profiled for their inhibitory activities against cholinesterases (AChE and BuChE) as well as monoamine oxidases (MAO‐A and MAO‐B).

Design, Synthesis, X‐Ray Crystallographic Characterization, Anticholinesterase and Antioxidant Evaluation, and Molecular Modeling of Novel Dispiroindene‐Pyrrolidine Derivatives as Multifunctional Anti‐Alzheimer Agents

Drug Development Research, Volume 87, Issue 5, August 2026.
ABSTRACT A novel series of 5‐chloro‐N‐alkyl‐1′,1″‐dimethyl‐4′‐aryldispiro[indene‐2,3′‐pyrrolidine‐2′,3″‐indoline]−1,2″(3H)‐diones (4a–r) was rationally designed and synthesized via a one‐pot multicomponent reaction of N‐alkylated 5‐chloroisatin derivatives, 2‐(arylmethylidene)−2,3‐dihydro‐1H‐inden‐1‐ones (2a–i), and sarcosine (3).

Exploring Cerumen as an Alternative Matrix for Drug Detection and Quantification: Method Development and Application in Clinical Samples

Drug Testing and Analysis, Volume 18, Issue 8, Page 1065-1075, August 2026.
An LC–MS/MS method was developed for the detection of 33 psychoactive medications in cerumen (earwax) and applied to the samples of 60 psychiatric inpatient volunteers. The findings highlighted the utility of cerumen as an innovative biospecimen in clinical toxicological analysis.

Inhibitory effect of donepezil on bradykinin-induced increase in the intracellular calcium concentration in cultured cortical astrocytes

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2017
Donepezil is a potent and selective acetylcholinesterase inhibitor developed for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. In the present study, we investigated the responses of astrocytes to bradykinin, an inflammatory mediator, and the effect of donepezil ...

Dementia Risk With Combined Statin and Antihypertensive Drugs That Increase Versus Decrease Angiotensin‐II Formation: Findings From the 45 and Up Study

International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry, Volume 41, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Hypertension and dyslipidaemia are key modifiable risk factors of dementia, and the combined use of statins and antihypertensive medications (AHMs) may offer protective benefits. However, evidence on specific combinations remains limited.
