Article Abstract

The in vitro activities of two novel azole compounds (aryl-1,2,4-triazol-3-ylthio analogues of fluconazole [ATTAFs]) and five comparator antifungal agents against 52 clinical Candida isolates from 5 different species were determined. The novel azole compounds had the lowest geometric mean MICs, followed by fluconazole. Moreover, combinations of these compounds with fluconazole exhibited synergistic effects against fluconazole-susceptible (22 of 23 isolates), fluconazole-susceptible dose-dependent (10 of 13 isolates), and fluconazole-resistant (1 of 16 isolates) Candida isolates.

The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a common diver gene for lung cancer (NSCLC), which leads to an increasing death rate worldwide. This study reports the design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of triazole-clubbed pyrimidine derivatives (RDa-RDm) as potential anticancer agents. Thirteen compounds were synthesized and screened against the A549 lung cancer cell line.

Locally advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) presents significant therapeutic challenges, particularly in resource-limited settings with restricted access to new therapies. This report describes a new exploratory multimodal therapeutic approach for a patient with locally advanced clear cell RCC (ccRCC) with adrenal and lymph node metastases. A 45-year-old woman presented with an incidentally discovered 9-cm mass in the left kidney, which was later diagnosed as grade-2 ccRCC with adrenal and lymph node involvement.

Sensitivity assessment of 300 Cercospora beticola isolates collected from North Greece revealed that 38 % of the population was highly resistant to at least one of the demethylase inhibitors (DMIs) difenoconazole, epoxiconazole and flutriafol. Resistance factors greater than 50, 100 and 100 were calculated for the most resistant C. beticola isolates to flutriafol, epoxiconazole and difenoconazole, respectively.

Isoxazoline drugs (ISOs) are a class of five-membered heterocyclic compounds containing N and O atoms. They can inhibit -aminobutyric acid gated chloride channels and are widely used in the treatment of parasitic diseases in poultry. The intake of animal-derived foods by humans is an important way to come into contact with ISOs.
