Anti-Sporothrix activity of novel copper-itraconazole complexes
ChemMedChem. 2024 Apr 26:e202400054. doi: 10.1002/cmdc.202400054. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA series of new metal complexes, [Cu(ITZ)2Cl2]·5H2O (1), [Cu(NO3)2(ITZ)2] ·3H2O·C4H10O and [Cu(ITZ)2)(PPh3)2]NO3·5H2O (3) were synthesized by a reaction of itraconazole (ITZ) with the respective copper salts under reflux. The metal complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductivity, 1H and 13C{1H} nuclear magnetic resonance, UV-Vis, infrared and EPR spectroscopies. The antifungal activity of these metal complexes was evaluated against the main sporotrichosis agents: Sporothrix brasiliensis, Sporothrix sch...

1,2,3-Triazole-totarol conjugates as potent PIP5K1 α lipid kinase inhibitors
Bioorg Med Chem. 2024 Apr 23;105:117727. doi: 10.1016/j.bmc.2024.117727. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe human phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase type I α (hPIP5K1α) plays a key role in the development of prostate cancer. In this work, seventeen derivatives of the natural diterpene totarol were prepared by copper(I)-catalysed Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of the correspondingO-propargylated totarol with aryl or alkyl azides and screened for their inhibitory activities toward hPIP5K1α. Five compounds, 3a, 3e, 3f, 3i, and 3r, strongly inhibited the enzyme activity with IC50 values of 1.44, 0.46, 1.02...

Contribution of technological aids to the extraction of orbital foreign bodies
CONCLUSION: Vegetal orbital foreign bodies must be systematically removed. Removal of non-vegetal orbital foreign bodies should be considered on a case-by-case basis based on their size, best assessed using a "low artifact" scanner, their location, and their intrinsic ferromagnetism. Intraoperative navigation does not appear useful, while intraoperative scope imaging does. A dedicated orbital magnet might be helpful in removing ferromagnetic orbital foreign bodies. However, an orbital magnet may be ineffective in removing intraorbital bullets, since they are made primarily of an alloy of copper and lead.PMID:38669863 | DOI...

Ultra-sensitive electrochemical detection of levofloxacin using a binder-free copper and graphene composite
Talanta. 2024 Apr 25;275:126132. doi: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.126132. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGiven the levels of pollution in the aquatic environment and the development of antimicrobial resistance, it is essential to develop sensors, with sensitivity, selectivity, stability, and cost-effectiveness, for the determination of antibiotics. The present article highlights the fabrication of an ultra-sensitive graphene and copper sensor, Gr/Cu, supported on glassy carbon (GCE/Gr/Cu) for the electroanalysis of levofloxacin through a cost-effective electrodeposition method. The sequential electrodeposition of graphene and Cu...

Peptide-Based electrochemical potential Scanning: A novel approach for disulfide manipulation in pediatric Respiratory syncytial virus detection
This study introduces an innovative approach using peptides and electrochemical potential scanning for RSV detection. By replacing enzymatic catalysis with electrochemical scanning, the method simplifies the process and reduces costs. Unbound peptides undergo potential-induced disulfide bridge opening, while target-bound peptides remain protected. After removing the target protein, copper ions and a reduced short peptide promote disulfide bridge formation, leading to crosslinking and passivation of the electrode surface. The degree of polymerization and passivation correlates with the target protein levels, generating a si...

Neurological Deterioration in Wilson's Disease-Types, Etiology, Course, and Management
Discov Med. 2024 Apr;36(183):646-654. doi: 10.24976/Discov.Med.202436183.61.ABSTRACTWilson's disease (WD) is an inherited disorder of copper metabolism in which pathological copper accumulation, mainly in the liver and the brain, leads to hepatic and/or neuropsychiatric signs and symptoms. Chelators and zinc salts can successfully induce negative copper balance in many patients; however, neurological deterioration may still be observed. This phenomenon can be divided into: (1) early 'paradoxical' neurological deterioration, which usually develops in the first 6 months of anti-copper treatment and may be commonly related to...

Are the elements zinc, copper, magnesium, and rubidium related to nutrition and iodine deficiency in pregnant Bulgarian women from iodine deficient region?
CONCLUSION: The high Cu levels were associated with subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) and less pulse consumption during pregnancy in an iodine deficiency endemic area. SCH was found in 24% of the pregnant women in such an area while in 13% of them SCH had progressed to overt hypothyroidism.PMID:38669155 | DOI:10.21101/cejph.a7796 (Source: Central European Journal of Public Health)
