Design, synthesis, in vitro, and in silico evaluations of benzo[d]imidazole-amide-1,2,3-triazole-N-arylacetamide hybrids as new antidiabetic agents targeting α-glucosidase.

α-Glucosidase as a carbohydrate-hydrolase enzyme is a crucial therapeutic target for type 2 diabetes. In this work, benzo[d]imidazole-amide containing 1,2,3-triazole-N-arylacetamide derivatives 8a-n were synthesized and evaluated for their inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase. In vitro α-glucosidase inhibition assay demonstrated that more than half of the title compounds with IC values in the range of 49.

Design, synthesis, in vitro anti-α-glucosidase evaluations, and computational studies of new phthalimide-phenoxy-1,2,3-triazole-N-phenyl (or benzyl) acetamides as potential anti-diabetic agents.

An important target in the treatment of type 2 diabetes is α-glucosidase. Inhibition of this enzyme led to delay in glucose absorption and decrease in postprandial hyperglycemia. A new series of phthalimide-phenoxy-1,2,3-triazole-N-phenyl (or benzyl) acetamides 11a-n were designed based on the reported potent α-glucosidase inhibitors.

In the development of novel anti-α-glucosidase agents, we synthesized novel thieno[2,3-b]quinoline-hydrazones 9a-n by facile and efficient conventional chemical reactions. These compounds were characterized by IR, H NMR, C NMR, and elemental analysis. Inhibitory activities of the title compounds were evaluated against yeast α-glucosidase.

Vitamin D Receptor Gene Polymorphism: Association with Susceptibility to Early-Onset Breast Cancer in Iranian, BRCA1/2-Mutation Carrier and non-carrier Patients.

Mounting evidences support that vitamin D insufficiency or deficiency is a risk factor of breast cancer. Vitamin D receptor (VDR) is expressed in more than 36 cell types in different organs as in cancerous cells. Numerous allelic variants of VDR gene have been identified in human populations.

Human serum miR-34a as an indicator of exposure to ionizing radiation.

Radiation exposure in industrial accidents or nuclear device attacks is a major public health concern. There is an urgent need for markers that rapidly identify people exposed to ionizing radiation (IR). Finding a blood-based marker is advantageous because of the ease of sample collection.

Clinical translation of human microRNA 21 as a potential biomarker for exposure to ionizing radiation.

This study investigated to what extent the serum microRNA 21 (miR-21) level alters in response to ionizing radiation (IR). Initially, we evaluated the appropriateness of our RNA extraction efficiency and microRNA assay in serum, and then investigated the serum miR-21 level in 4 patients with breast cancer in 4 stages: pre- and postoperation, at the beginning radiotherapy, and after 25 sessions of radiotherapy with a total of 50 Gy irradiation, as well as in 20 healthy volunteers. The initial analysis showed the appropriateness of our RNA extraction efficiency and microRNA assay in serum for identifying people exposed to IR.

Cellular Response to Ionizing Radiation: A MicroRNA Story.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) represent a class of small non-coding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. They play a crucial role in diverse cellular pathways. Ionizing radiation (IR) is one of the most important treatment protocols for patients that suffer from cancer and affects directly or indirectly cellular integration.
