Summary: Four new Cu(I) complexes were synthesized and characterized, and their anti-trypanosome and anticancer activities were evaluated. The complexes showed higher cytotoxicity against T. cruzi and chemoresistant prostate PC3 cells compared to benchmark drugs nifurtimox and cisplatin. They also exhibited high cellular internalization and activation of apoptosis in ovarian OVCAR3 cells. However, the production of reactive oxygen species was not significant.

Summary: This study describes the syntheses of 16 vanadium(IV and V) complexes with ONO tridentate Schiff base ligands, with vanadium(IV) compounds synthesized using 1,10-phenantroline as a co-ligand. In the case of five complexes of vanadium(V), solvent molecules in the form of ethanol or ethoxy ligands fill the coordination sphere of V(V) to six. The crystal structures of selected complexes show a mixture of isomers in 1:1 ratio in the unit cell due to the asymmetry of the ligand forming both 5- and 6-membered rings in the complex.

Summary: In this study, 28 new steviol derivatives were synthesized and their cytotoxicity evaluated. Among them, the new compound 8f displayed potent antiproliferative activity against liver cancer cells while showing weak cytotoxicity against normal cells. The study revealed that 8f induced apoptosis in liver cancer cells by modulating multiple signaling pathways. The results suggest that steviol derivatives hold promise as lead compounds for new cancer therapies, and further modifications of steviol may enhance efficacy and selectivity.

Summary: Infections caused by parasitic helminths have widespread impacts on health, society, and the economy. The current treatment options for these diseases are limited and have become less effective, leading to a need for new anthelmintic agents. In this study, a simplified compound called N-(4-methoxyphenyl)pentanamide (N4MP) was prepared based on the structure of albendazole, the most commonly used anthelmintic drug. N4MP demonstrated similar effects to albendazole in inhibiting parasite viability, but with lower cytotoxicity to human and animal cells. This research suggests that the molecular simplification of albendazole to create N4MP may be a promising approach for discovering novel anthelmintic agents.

Summary: Doped carbon materials, especially F-doped carbon catalysts, have gained significant attention as metal-free catalysts for oxygen reduction reactions and as corrosion-resistant supports for Pt and non-Pt nanoparticles. F-doped carbon materials possess unique properties and greatly improve the activity and durability of the ORR compared to N-doped carbon materials. The high electronegativity of F-doping can efficiently modify the electronic band structure of carbon materials, favoring the ORR. This review systematically discusses the effect of F-doping/F co-doping on the electrocatalytic reduction of O2 in acidic and alkaline conditions, the stability and durability of fuel cell catalysts, and provides guidelines for working with F-doped carbons. Future research directions on F-doped carbons are also proposed to bridge the gap between laboratory-scale assessments and commercial applications.
