Forty-one 1,3,4-thiadiazolyl-containing thiazolidine-2,4-dione derivatives (MY1–41) were designed and synthesized as protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) inhibitors with activity against diabetes mellitus (DM). All compounds presented potential PTP1B inhibitory activities, half-maximal concentration (IC50) values ranging from 0.41 ± 0.05 to 4.68 0.61 μM, compared that of the positive control lithocholic acid (IC50 = 9.62 0.14 μM). The most potent compound, MY17 μM), was a reversible,...

In the United States, prenatal genetic testing (PGT) for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is currently available via clinical services. Such may inform parents about their unborn child's risk ASD, prepare birth of an affected infant, and allow them to arrange early interventions. Although PGT autism has potential benefits, associated ethical, legal, social implications (ELSI) should be considered. This first qualitative study employed a hypothetical scenario explore attitudes toward...
