The SARS‑CoV‑2 main protease (Mpro) is indispensable for viral polyprotein maturation and therefore constitutes a prime antiviral drug target. Guided by drug‑likeness metrics, we designed a focused series of chromone‑thiophene derivatives (M1-M4) that combine a rigid, π‑rich chromone core with a sulfur‑containing hydrophobic anchor. SwissADME calculations revealed that progressive hydroxylation (0-2 OH) endows the series with ideal physicochemical parameters (MW 228-260 g mol⁻¹, cLogP 2.5-3.1, T

Metabolic syndrome—a cluster of interrelated conditions including obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and insulin resistance—is a key precursor to both type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. In regions with rising burdens of non-communicable diseases, diabetes mellitus has become a leading challenge in clinical management. The narrative review presents a detailed case study of a 64-year-old patient who has insulin-dependent type 2 diabetes mellitus with peripheral neuropathy and nephropath

This research investigates the therapeutic potential of aqueous Chlorophytum comosum extract in managing bilirubin metabolism disturbances in laboratory animals with experimentally induced toxic hepatitis. The study compared the efficacy of three treatment approaches: Chlorophytum comosum extract monotherapy, standard vitamin therapy (including vitamins B₁, B₂, B₆, B₁₂, PP, E, and C), and a combination of both treatments. The experiment involved four groups of Chinchilla breed rabbits, with toxi

The present study focuses on the non-nutritional causes of dyslipidemia, including an increase in both atherogenic (LDL) and antiatherogenic (HDL) lipid fractions. The prospective study included 180 patients aged 30-65 years with a normal BMI, but persistent changes in the lipid profile that persisted despite dieting. A comprehensive analysis of endocrine, genetic, microbiomic, and environmental factors, as well as their relationship to clinical manifestations, has been performed. The results re

This prospective observational study evaluated the efficacy and safety of different treatment modalities in 240 osteoarthritis (OA) patients (mean age 58.7±9.2 years; 68.3% female) at a diagnostic center in the Republic of Dagestan from 2022 to 2024. Patients were stratified into four treatment groups: NSAIDs (n=72), chondroprotectors (n=60), hyaluronic acid (HA) injections (n=54), and combination therapy (n=54). Primary outcomes included changes in pain intensity (VAS) and functional status (WO

This study investigates the therapeutic potential of microbiome-targeted interventions for moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis through a comprehensive clinical trial evaluating both skin and gut microbiome modulation. The randomized controlled study compared three treatment approaches: oral probiotic supplementation, topical application of commensal skin bacteria, and a combination of both therapies, against standard care in 65 patients over 12 weeks. Clinical assessments demonstrated superior

This randomized controlled trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of various hormone replacement therapy (HRT) regimens in 840 perimenopausal women aged 45-55 years. Participants were allocated to receive either transdermal 17β-estradiol with micronized progesterone, oral conjugated estrogens with medroxyprogesterone acetate, transdermal estradiol with dydrogesterone, or non-hormonal therapy for 24 months. Vasomotor symptom reduction was the main result, with safety profiles, metabolic paramete

This study presents the development and preclinical evaluation of a novel osteotropic micronutrient complex (OMC) designed to enhance bone regeneration in osteopenic conditions. The formulation combines vitamin K2 (menaquinone-7), strontium citrate, fructoborate, and nano-hydroxyapatite to target multiple pathways of bone metabolism synergistically. Using an ovariectomized rat model of osteoporosis, we assessed the effects of OMC on bone mineral density (BMD), microarchitecture, biomechanical st
