Article Abstract
Inhibition of steroid sulfatase (STS) decreases estrogen production and thus, suppresses tumor proliferation. Inspired by irosustat, the first STS inhibitor in clinical trials, we explored twenty-one tricyclic and tetra-heterocyclic coumarin-based derivatives. Their STS enzyme kinetic parameters, docking models, and cytotoxicity toward breast cancer and normal cells were evaluated. Tricyclic derivative 9e and tetracyclic derivative 10c were the most promising irreversible inhibitors developed in this study, with K of 0.05 and 0.4 nM, and k/K ratios of 28.6 and 19.1 nMmin on human placenta STS, respectively.

Background/aims: The quantification of amino acids in the dairy industry is necessary for quality control and for the formulation of functional foods. Thus, the development of enzymatic biosensors requires a detailed study of enzyme kinetics. Parameters such as KM and Vmax are necessary to optimize the sensitivity and specificity of the biosensor.

The 3C-like protease (3CLpro) of SARS-CoV-2 is a crucial target for antiviral drugs due to its essential role in viral polyprotein processing. In this study, we designed and produced a modular fluorescent recombinant substrate (6×His-ECFP-AVLQSGFRK-EYFP), which was then immobilized on Ni-NTA magnetic beads (Ni-NTA-6×His-ECFP-AVLQSGFRK-EYFP) for the assay of 3CLpro activity. Upon cleavage at the specific AVLQ↓SG motif, the EYFP fragment was released into the supernatant and quantified via fluorescence measurement (Ex/Em = 480/528 nm).

The rise in diabetes complications drives the development of novel drugs targeting α-amylase and α-glucosidase for improving glycaemic control in diabetes management. This review comprehensively summarizes the antidiabetic properties of 3-mercapto-1,2,4-triazoles, based on studies published between 2018 and 2025; extensive research within this period has demonstrated the efficacy of 3-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole scaffolds, particularly when combined with additional heterocyclic ring structures, exhibiting promising dual enzyme inhibition potential. The inhibitory potential of these scaffolds has been evaluated through various parameters, including IC values, percentage inhibition, molecular docking, SAR, and kinetic analyses, consistently showing promising results compared to standard drugs like acarbose.

The chemical profile of brown algae Ecklonia cava was comprehensively analyzed using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with a Q-Exactive Orbitrap mass spectrometer and GNPS molecular networking, identifying 33 components, including 27 oligomeric phloroglucinols. Among these, 10 compounds with analogous structural segments were evaluated for β-glucuronidase inhibitory activity, revealing potent inhibition by eckol, phlorofucofuroeckol A (PFF-A), dieckol, 2-phloroeckol, dioxinodehydroeckol (DHE), 8,8'-bieckol, and 6,8'-bieckol, with IC values ranging from 0.3 to 30.

The widespread discharge of emerging micropollutants (EMs) into sewer systems has raised serious environmental concerns throughout the world. However, the transformation mechanisms underlying the accumulation of EMs in sewer sediments remain largely unexplored. This study investigated the transformation fate and mechanisms of chloroxylenol (PCMX) in sewer sediments.
