Nuclear receptors (NRs) constitute a superfamily of ligand-activated transcription factors with a paramount role in ubiquitous physiological functions such as metabolism, growth, and reproduction. Owing to their physiological role and druggability, NRs are deemed attractive and valid targets for medicinal chemists. Pentacyclic triterpenes (PTs) rep...

Eliminating pesticides is essential for lowering the dangers to our environment. To do this effectively, it is crucial to find adsorbents with remarkable adsorption capacities, easy retrieval, and separation. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been extensively recognized for their exceptional ability to absorb pollutants. Therefore, we used novel...

Malignancies are one of the world’s most serious health problems. Pancreatic and lung cancers are two of the most lethal types of cancer, with 5-year survival rates ranging from 10 to 20%. Despite decades of investigation, the molecular processes and selectivity of Prunus armenica and Bee venom as anticancer drugs are still largely un-understood. T...

A series of various substituted thiazole-pyrazole hybrids 5, 7, 8, and 9 were synthesized, and their chemical structures were confirmed by spectral data (infrared, 1H & 13C NMR and Mass). The frontier molecular orbital structural and energetic properties of the targeting thiazole-pyrazole hybrids were explored using the DFT/B3LYP methodology. The d...

Plant diseases are one of the major threats to global food production. Efficient monitoring and detection of plant pathogens are instrumental in restricting and effectively managing the spread of the disease and reducing the cost of pesticides. Traditional, molecular, and serological methods that are widely used for plant disease detection are ofte...

... Raloxifene (RAL) is widely used for the treatment of estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer, with fewer side effects than the parent tamoxifen [66,67]. Kabel et al. investigated the potential synergistic effect in the case of using a FLX/RAL combination in experimentally 7,12-Dimethyl Benzanthracene (DMBA)-induced breast cancer in female Wistar rats. ...
... The thiazole ring is a five-membered heterocyclic structure that includes S and N atoms and is characterized by various biological activities [7]. It has an excellent pharmacophore nucleus due to its wide range of pharmaceutical applications such as anticancer [8,9], antioxidant, antiparasitic [10,11], antimalarial [12,13], antimicrobial [14,15], anti-inflammatory [16][17][18], analgesic [17], anti-anxiety activities [18], and cholinesterase inhibitors [19]. ...
... Frequent and detailed crop monitoring is essential for maximizing agricultural productivity and resource efficiency. Drones equipped with multispectral or thermal cameras can monitor crop health by capturing images that show differences in heat signature or chlorophyll presence, which are indicators of plant health and photosynthetic activity (Abbas et al. 2023). These images help in detecting variations in crop growth, moisture levels, and overall vigor. ...
