Summary: This paper describes the synthesis of new heterocycles from oxazol-5(4H)-one and 1,2,4-triazin-6(5H)-one classes containing a phenyl-/4-bromophenylsulfonylphenyl moiety. The compounds were characterized using spectral and elemental analysis. Toxicity assays on Daphnia magna and Saccharomyces cerevisiae showed that the heterocyclic nucleus and halogen atoms significantly influenced the toxicity. The compounds also showed potential for anticancer investigations based on predictive analyses and similarity studies.

Summary: This study presented the synthesis of two series of monocyclic and bicyclic trifluoromethylated 4,5-dihydro-1,2,4-triazin-6(1H)-one derivatives through (3+3)-annulation of methyl esters derived from natural alpha-amino acids with in situ generated trifluoroacetonitrile imines. The developed method exhibited wide applicability, accessible substrates, remarkable functional group tolerance, and high chemical yield. The reactions with chiral starting materials resulted in enantiomerically pure products without racemization at the stereogenic centers. Selected functional group interconversions under catalytic hydrogenation and mild PTC oxidation conditions were also demonstrated.

Summary: The research aimed to investigate the effect of linker size in 4-alkyl-5-aryl-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione derivatives on their affinity towards voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs), which are potential antiepileptic drug candidates. Docking simulations and SAR observations were used to justify the beneficial sodium channel blocking activity of the designed ligands. However, the triazole-based compounds had lower affinities compared to analogs with shorter alkyl linkers. The 1,2,4-triazole derivatives were also examined for their antiepileptic potential in mice.

Summary: This study proposes a novel nanoplatform based on the autophagy cascade to overcome the obstacles in chemo-immunotherapy. The platform combines chemotherapy and starvation therapy to initiate pro-death autophagy and enhance antigen presentation, while also remodeling the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Furthermore, the study discovers a new therapeutic direction for the respiration inhibitor 3-bromopyruvic acid (3BP) in cancer treatment. Overall, this study offers an opportunity to improve antitumor efficacy and boost immune responses.

Summary: Breast cancer is a common malignant tumor in women, and drug resistance remains a clinical challenge. In this study, a novel compound, G-5b, was developed with potent antagonistic and degradation activities comparable to the current drug fulvestrant. G-5b also showed improved stability and solubility. Mechanistically, G-5b engages the proteasome pathway to degrade ER, inhibiting the ER signaling pathway and inducing apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. In animal models, G-5b exhibited superior pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics properties. Overall, G-5b is a promising long-acting SERD worthy of further investigation and optimization.
