TL;DR: A series of novel molecular hybrids containing pyrazole, pyridinone and 1,2,3-triazoles have been synthesized by one-pot four-component reaction of Meldrum’s acid, substituted aryl azides and 3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5-amine using L-proline as a basic organocatalyst besides CuSO4.
Abstract: A series of novel molecular hybrids containing pyrazole, pyridinone and 1,2,3-triazoles have been synthesized by one-pot four-component reaction of Meldrum’s acid, substituted aryl azides, 4-(prop-2-yn-1-yloxy)aryl aldehyde and 3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5-amine using L-proline as a basic organocatalyst besides CuSO4.5H2O and sodium ascorbate as catalysts for click chemistry in PEG-400 as a highly efficient and green media. Apoptosis studies have been carried out on ovarian follicles of goat (Capra hircus) and in vitro antibacterial activity has been done against six strains namely Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and antifungal activity against two yeast strains namely, Candida albicans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

TL;DR: The study findings substantiate that the combination of natural molecules with antibiotics may open up possibilities to treat MDR strains and show that an acute-phase Lipopolysaccharide binding protein (LBP) enhances the innate host defence against bacterial challenge.

TL;DR: The precise mechanisms underlying self and non-self-recognition represent the basis to prevent and control infections from endotoxins as well as to stimulate animal resistance, particularly relevant for immune defense against LPS in invertebrates and vertebrates which are frequently constrained by recurrent diseases.

TL;DR: Investigating the association of functionally important polymorphism in cytochrome P450 2A6 (CYP2A6) and glutathione S-transferase P1 (GSTP1) genes with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and treatment response in cases receiving a combination of chemo-radiotherapy found polymorphisms in CYP2A 6 and GSTP1 played a major role in determining the chemotherapeutic response.
Abstract: A case control study was carried out to investigate the association of functionally important polymorphism in cytochrome P450 2A6 ( CYP2A6 ) and glutathione S-transferase P1 ( GSTP1 ) genes with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and treatment response in cases receiving a combination of chemo-radiotherapy. The study group consisted of 350 males suffering from HNSCC and an equal number of male controls. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed statistically significant decrease in risk to HNSCC in cases with variant genotypes ( CYP2A6*1B and CYP2A6*4C ) of CYP2A6 (OR: 0.78; 95% CI: 0.43–1.22; P = 0.04) or GSTP1 (OR: 0.71; 95% CI: 0.51–1.00; P = 0.05). The risk associated with these variant genotypes was found to be further decreased in cases carrying a combination of variant genotypes of CYP2A6 and GSTP1 (OR: 0.40; 95% CI: 0.25–0.65; P = 0.00). A similar decrease in risk was observed in cases with variant genotypes of CYP2A6 (OR: 0.59; 95% CI: 0.40–0.86; P = 0.00) or GSTP1 (OR: 0.62; 95% CI: 0.42–0.91; P = 0.01) and who were regular tobacco users (cigarette smokers or tobacco chewers). Interestingly, only 27% of the cases carrying the variant forms of CYP2A6 ( *1A / *4C + *1B / *4C + *4C / *4C ) responded to the treatment for HNSCC when compared to those with wild-type genotype (69%). However with GSTP1 , cases with homozygous mutant genotype ( Val / Val ) showed a superior treatment response (75%) when compared to cases with wild-type genotype (25%). Further, cases carrying a combination of variant genotype of CYP2A6 and wild-type genotype of GSTP1 exhibited a very poor treatment response demonstrating that polymorphisms in CYP2A6 and GSTP1 not only modified the risk to HNSCC but also played a major role in determining the chemotherapeutic response.
