New Heterostilbene and Triazole Oximes as Potential CNS-Active and Cholinesterase-Targeted Therapeutics
Autori: Milena Mlakić, Tena Čadež, Goran Šinko, Irena Škorić, Zrinka Kovarik Sažetak radaNew furan, thiophene, and triazole oximes were synthesized through several-step reaction paths to investigate their potential for the development of central nervous systems (CNS)-active and cholinesterase-targeted therapeutics in organophosphorus compound (OP) poisonings. Treating patients with acute OP poisoning is still a challenge despite the …

Evaluation of Anticholinesterase Activity of the Fungicides Mefentrifluconazole and Pyraclostrobin
Autori: Dora Kolić, Goran Šinko Sažetak radaTriazoles are compounds with various biological activities, including fungicidal action. They became popular through cholinesterase studies after the successful synthesis of the dual binding femtomolar triazole inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase (AChE, EC 3.1.1.7) by Sharpless et al. via in situ click chemistry. Here, we evaluate the anticholinesterase effect of the first isopropanol triazole …

Cholesterol Oxime Olesoxime Assessed as a Potential Ligand of Human Cholinesterases
Autori: Dora Kolić, Goran Šinko, Ludovic Jean, Mourad Chioua, José Dias, José Marco-Contelles, Zrinka Kovarik Sažetak radaOlesoxime, a cholesterol derivative with an oxime group, possesses the ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, and has demonstrated excellent safety and tolerability properties in clinical research. These characteristics indicate it may serve as a centrally active ligand of acetylcholinesterase …

Does the Symbiotic Relationship Between Hydra Viridissima and Photoautotrophic Alga Provide an Evolutionary Advantage in Protecting DNA against Damage by the Cytotoxic or Genotoxic Mode of Action of Environmental Stressors?
Autori: Davor Želježić, Goran Kovačević, Ana Matijević, Petra Korać, Katarina Caput Mihalić Sažetak radaThe aim of this paper was to evaluate whether symbiotic cooperation between green hydra (Hydra viridissima) and photoautotrophic alga gives higher resistance of the preservation of DNA integrity compared to brown hydra (Hydra oligactis). Norflurazon concentrations were 0.061 or 0.61 mg/L and UV-B light …

Environmental exposure to glyphosate does not inhibit human acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase
Autori: Dora Kolić, Vesna Pehar, Zrinka Kovarik Sažetak radaGlyphosate has remained the leading herbicide on the global market to date, despite the continuous debate between consumers, scientific community, and regulatory agencies over its carcinogenicity, genotoxicity, environmental persistence, and the role in the development of neurodegenerative disorders. Chemically, glyphosate belongs to a large family of organophosphorus pesticides, …
