A Comprehensive Review on Coumarin Derivatives
Abstract: Coumarins are naturally occurring compounds found in plants, fungi, and microorganisms with diverse bioactivities. They have antithrombotic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, antiviral, anticancer, and neuroprotective properties. Extracting coumarins, using methods like maceration and microwave- assisted extraction, is crucial for their applications. However, safety and toxicology are important, especially in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food additives. Consuming moderate amounts of coumarin-rich foods is generally safe, but excessive intake raises concerns about hepatotoxicity and …

Paternal Pre-Pubertal Smoking: Small RNAs, Lasting Marks, and the Hidden Legacy of Early Exposure
Abstract: While the negative effects of maternal smoking during pregnancy are well-established, the lasting and transgenerational impact of paternal pre-pubertal smoking remains a critical, underexplored area. Emerging evidence in sperm epigenetics suggests that cigarette exposure during early male development may create persistent molecular imprints that can affect the health of future offspring. This phenomenon is rooted in the fact that heredity extends beyond the DNA sequence. Sperm carry a complex epigenetic …

Pharmacophore mapping, 3D QSAR, docking, and ADME prediction studies of novel Benzothiazinone derivatives
Abstract: Background Tuberculosis is a major public health concern worldwide which is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. DprE1 (Decaprenyl Phosphoryl Ribose 2’- Epimerase) is the most challenging target for development of novel anti- tubercular agents because it is a small protein and located into cytoplasmic membrane. So, novel anti-TB drugs did not bound effectively with it. DprE1 catalyzes the oxidation of the 2’ hydroxyl group of DPR (Decaprenyl Phosphoryl D- Ribose) …
