RESUMO
The mortality rate of Nipah virus (NiV) can vary in different regions, and its pattern across timelines has yet to be assessed. The primary objective is to perform a comparative analysis of mortality rates across different timelines and countries. Articles reporting NiV mortality from inception to November 2023 were analyzed in PubMed, Ovid Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. A meta-analysis utilizing random-effects models determined the mortality rate secondary to NiV complications. The initial search strategy yielded 1213 records, of which 36 articles met the inclusion criteria, comprising 2736 NiV patients. The Global mortality rate of the Nipah virus in the 2014-2023 decade was 80.1% (CI: 68.7-88.1%), indicating a significant 24% increase compared to the preceding decade (2004-2013) with a mortality rate of 54.1% (CI: 35.5-71.6%). Among the countries analyzed for overall mortality from 1994-2023, India experienced the highest mortality rate at 82.7% (CI: 74.6-88.6%), followed by Bangladesh at 62.1% (CI: 45.6-76.2%), Philippines at 52.9% (CI: 30-74.5%), Malaysia at 28.9% (CI: 21.4-37.9%), and Singapore at 21% (CI: 8-45%). Subgroup analysis revealed that India consistently had the highest mortality rate for the past two decades (91.7% and 89.3%). The primary complication leading to mortality was encephalitis, accounting for 95% of cases. This systematic review and meta-analysis revealed a noteworthy surge in NiV mortality rates, particularly in the current decade (2014-2023). The escalation, with India reporting a concerning level of mortality of 89.3-91.7% in the past decades, signifies a pressing public health challenge.
RESUMO
Thiazolidinediones are very important and used as a drug for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Here, we report a convenient approach to synthesis 3-m-tolyl-5-arylidene-2,4-thiazolidinediones (TZDs) derivatives 7a-e in two steps with moderate to good yield using morpholine as a catalyst. All the structures were confirmed by their spectral IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR data. The anti-diabatic activity of all synthesized molecules is evaluated by docking with peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ). Preliminary flexible docking studies reveals that our compounds 7a, 7d and 7e showed better binding affinity with the protein and could be a potential candidate for the treatment of type 2 diabetes in near future.
