Article Abstract
Fourteen mineral and trace elements (Al, Ba, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sr and Zn) were determined in the herbs and their infusions consumed for medical purposes in Turkey such as chamomile (Matricaria chammomile L.), fennel (Foeniculum vulgare), linden (Tilia vulgaris), nettle (Urtica dioical), rosehip (Fr.Rosa caninae), sage (Salvia officinalis) and senna tea (Cassia anqustifolia). Microwave digestion procedure was applied under optimized conditions for dissolution of medicinal herbs. Element concentrations in the medicinal herbs and their infusions were determined by FAAS and ICP-AES. The accuracy and precision were verified against a GBW 07605 Poplar leaves and Tea certified reference material. The mineral and trace element content of medicinal herbs and their infusions showed a wide variability. However, distribution of the elements in the infusions is not high and it is nil especially for Cd, Co, Cr and Pb.

Aurora kinases are a group of serine/threonine kinases essential for cell mitosis, comprising Aurora A, B, and C. However, the Aurora B is overexpressed in multiple tumors and the aurone has been proved to exhibit potent inhibitory activity against Aurora B kinase by our group. The indolinone was considered as an aurone scaffold hopping analog, and the indolinone-based Aurora B inhibitor library (3577 molecules) was constructed by FBDD strategy.

Covering: up to April 2025Bacterial aromatic polyketides represent a notable class of natural products that have found extensive applications in clinical treatments. In their biosynthesis, oxidative rearrangements represent critical transformations that typically afford diverse scaffolds, structural rigidity, and biological activities. In this context, it is evident that redox enzymes are frequently implicated in various rearrangement processes, whereby they facilitate the transformation of pathway precursors into mature natural products.

NUT carcinoma is a rare and highly aggressive malignancy characterized by rapid progression, resistance to conventional therapies, and an extremely poor prognosis. This report presents a 36-year-old patient with stage IIIB primary pulmonary NUT carcinoma who achieved remarkable clinical outcomes with NHWD-870 monotherapy, a novel BET inhibitor. After just 1 month of treatment, imaging revealed a partial response, and a complete response was achieved within 5 months.
