Summary: The Schiff base ligand L reacts with Ln(NO3)3.6H2O to form three neutral lanthanide Schiff base coordination complexes. During the reaction, the ligand L is converted into a zwitterionic tautomer L', and the Ln(III) ion is surrounded by three L' units bonded to the phenolato oxy-gen donor atoms, resulting in a nine-coordinated structure. Lc exhibits higher antimicrobial activity compared to the free ligand.

Summary: Resistance to current antifungal drugs is increasing, with little attention given to the threat of drug-resistant fungal infections compared to antibacterial resistance. A series of cobalt(III) Schiff base complexes show broad-spectrum antifungal activity with no cytotoxicity to bacterial and human cells, and initial in vivo toxicity data in Galleria mellonella suggest toleration of high doses, paving the way for further studies.

Summary: The integration of orthopedic devices with native bone is crucial for long-term implant success. This study investigated the effect of simulated body fluid (SBF) formulation on bioactivity assessment. The results showed that SBF enriched with higher calcium and phosphate ion concentrations increased the size and quantity of hydroxyapatite crystals, even on surfaces traditionally considered non-bioactive.

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.
