Abstract
Nineteen isosteviol derivatives were designed and synthesized by C-16, C-19 and D-ring modifications of isosteviol. These compounds were screened for their cytotoxic activities against Hela and A549 cells in vitro. Among them, the inhibitory effect of compounds 3b and 16 on Hela cells was comparable to that of the positive control gefitinib, and the compounds 3b (IC50=7.84 ± 0.84 μM) and 7a (IC50=6.89 ± 0.33 μM) exhibited significant cytotoxicity superior to gefitinib (IC50=11.02 ± 3.27 μM) against A549 cells.

Fabrication of uniform Pd nanoparticles immobilized on crosslinked ionic chitosan support as a super-active catalyst toward regioselective synthesis of pyrazole-fused heterocycles. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 253:126589. [PMID: 37673137 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.126589] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2023] [Revised: 08/07/2023] [Accepted: 08/27/2023] [Indexed: 09/08/2023]
Abstract
Selection of biodegradable chitosan as a raw material is a smart technique due to its easy modifiability and high renewability. Herein, taking advantage of these functional characteristics, an ionic biopolymer support is produced from copolymerization of allylated chitosan (with 48 % degree of substitution) and polymerizable ionic liquid ([MEVIm]Br). Next, palladium nanoparticles are successfully stabilized in this designed support through a facile manner based on interconnected porous network, ionic nature and rich functional groups. Then, the Pd@CS-PIL structure was utilized as a heterogeneous catalyst for regioselective synthesis of pyrazole-fused heterocycles. The as-synthesized Pd@CS-PIL was characterized by various techniques such as XRD, EDX, FESEM, elemental mapping, TEM, BET, ICP, TGA, and FT-IR to better determine the structure, morphology, purity and physical properties. The obtained results revealed that the proposed nanostructure provides favorable porosity with significant specific surface area (139.2 m2.g-1), Pd nanoparticles with high dispersion (mean diameter ∼ 22.8 nm) and crosslinked nature with good thermal stability (50 % weight loss about 600 °C). Therefore, Pd@CS-PIL nanostructure showed the key features of a super-active catalyst, and pharmaceutical pyrazole-fused scaffolds were produced in favorable yields (86-96 %) under ultrasound conditions.

Abstract
Acid hydrolysis of stevioside resulted in a 63% yield of isosteviol (1), which served as a starting material for the preparation of numerous amides. These compounds were tested for cytotoxic activity, employing a panel of human tumor cell lines, and almost all amides were found to be non-cytotoxic. Only the combination of isosteviol, a (homo)-piperazinyl spacer and rhodamine B or rhodamine 101 unit proved to be particularly suitable. These spacered rhodamine conjugates exhibited cytotoxic activity in the sub-micromolar concentration range. In this regard, the homopiperazinyl-spacered derivatives were found to be better than those compounds with piperazinyl spacers, and rhodamine 101 conjugates were more cytotoxic than rhodamine B hybrids.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the major healthcare challenges across the globe. Several anticancer drugs are available on the market but they either lack specificity or have poor safety, severe side effects, and suffer from resistance. So, there is a dire need to develop safer and target-specific anticancer drugs. More than 85% of all physiologically active pharmaceuticals are heterocycles or contain at least one heteroatom. Nitrogen heterocycles constituting the most common heterocyclic framework. In this study, we have compiled the FDA approved heterocyclic drugs with nitrogen atoms and their pharmacological properties. Moreover, we have reported nitrogen containing heterocycles, including pyrimidine, quinolone, carbazole, pyridine, imidazole, benzimidazole, triazole, β-lactam, indole, pyrazole, quinazoline, quinoxaline, isatin, pyrrolo-benzodiazepines, and pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines, which are used in the treatment of different types of cancer, concurrently covering the biochemical mechanisms of action and cellular targets.

Abstract
As a pathological coagulation process, thrombus can lead to many serious diseases, including ischemic stroke, acute myocardial infarction (AMI), acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and deep venous thrombosis (DVT). And anticoagulant drugs are one of the most effective ways to prevent and treat these diseases. Although macromolecular anticoagulant drugs such as low molecular weight heparins (LMWHs) are widely used in the clinic, their characteristics of requiring injectable use hinder their further promotion in the clinic, and the disadvantages of oral anticoagulant drugs, such as warfarin and dabigatran etexilate, which can easily cause bleeding adverse effects, are also not addressed. Factor Xa (FXa) has gained attention because it lies at the intersection of the coagulation cascade pathways, whereas subsequently introduced Factor Xa inhibitors such as rivaroxaban and apixaban, among others, have gained market popularity because of their high potency for anticoagulation and high specificity for Factor Xa when administered orally. But some of the drawbacks that these Factor Xa inhibitors have simultaneously such as fewer indications and the lack of an effective reversal drug when bleeding occurs are urgently addressed. The development of new Factor Xa inhibitors therefore becomes one means of addressing these questions. This article summarizes the small molecule Factor Xainhibitors developed from 2015 to 2022, classifies them according to their scaffolds, focuses on the analysis of their structure-activity relationships, and provides a brief assessment of them.

Abstract
Achieving high exciton utilization is a long-cherished goal in the development of organic light-emitting diode materials. Herein, a three-step mechanism is proposed to achieve 200% exciton utilization: (i) hot triplet exciton (T2) conversion to singlet S1; (ii) singlet fission from S1 into two T1; (iii) and then a Dexter energy transfer to phosphors. The requirement is that S1 should lie slightly lower than or close to T2 and twice as high as T1 in energy. For this, a scenario is put forward to design a series of donor-bridge-acceptor (DBA) type molecules with 2E(T1) ≤ E(S1) < E(T2), in which the Baird-type aromatic pyrazoline ring is used as a bridge owing to its stabilized T1 (1.30-1.74 eV) and different kinds of donors and acceptors are linked to the bridge for regulating S1 (2.35-3.87 eV) and T2 (2.44-3.96 eV). The ultrafast spectroscopy and sensitization measurements for one compound (TPA-DBPrz) fully confirm the theoretical predictions.

Abstract
Addressing the growing burden of cancer and the shortcomings of chemotherapy in cancer treatment are the current research goals. Research to overcome the limitations of curcumin and to improve its anticancer activity via its heterocycle-fused monocarbonyl analogues (MACs) has immense potential. In this study, 32 asymmetric MACs fused with 1-aryl-1H-pyrazole (7a-10h) were synthesized and characterized to develop new curcumin analogues. Subsequently, via initial screening for cytotoxic activity, nine compounds exhibited potential growth inhibition against MDA-MB-231 (IC50 2.43-7.84 μM) and HepG2 (IC50 4.98-14.65 μM), in which seven compounds showing higher selectivities on two cancer cell lines than the noncancerous LLC-PK1 were selected for cell-free in vitro screening for effects on microtubule assembly activity. Among those, compounds 7d, 7h, and 10c showed effective inhibitions of microtubule assembly at 20.0 μM (40.76-52.03%), indicating that they could act as microtubule-destabilizing agents. From the screening results, three most potential compounds, 7d, 7h, and 10c, were selected for further evaluation of cellular effects on breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells. The apoptosis-inducing study indicated that these three compounds could cause morphological changes at 1.0 μM and could enhance caspase-3 activity (1.33-1.57 times) at 10.0 μM in MDA-MB-231 cells, confirming their apoptosis-inducing activities. Additionally, in cell cycle analysis, compounds 7d and 7h at 2.5 μM and 10c at 5.0 μM also arrested MDA-MB-231 cells in the G2/M phase. Finally, the results from in silico studies revealed that the predicted absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and the toxicity (ADMET) profile of the most potent MACs might have several advantages in addition to potential disadvantages, and compound 7h could bind into (ΔG -10.08 kcal·mol-1) and access wider space at the colchicine-binding site (CBS) than that of colchicine or nocodazole via molecular docking studies. In conclusion, our study serves as a basis for the design of promising synthetic compounds as anticancer agents in the future.

Synthesis and Evaluation of Chiral Rhodanine Derivatives Bearing Quinoxalinyl Imidazole Moiety as ALK5 Inhibitors. Med Chem 2021; 18:509-520. [PMID: 34182915 DOI: 10.2174/1573406417666210628144849] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2020] [Revised: 03/16/2021] [Accepted: 04/25/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND TGF-β signaling pathway inhibition is considered an effective way to prevent the development of several diseases. In the design and synthesis of TGF-β inhibitors, a rhodanine compound containing a quinoxalinyl imidazole moiety was found to have strong antimicrobial activity. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this work was to investigate the antimicrobial activity of other chiral rhodanine TGF-β inhibitors synthesized. METHODS Two series of 3-substituted-5-((5-(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)-4-(quinoxalinyl-6-yl)- 1H-imidazol-2-yl)methylene)-2-thioxothiazolin-4-ones (12a-h and 13a-e) were synthesized and evaluated for their ALK5 inhibitory and antimicrobial activity. The structures were confirmed by their 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and HRMS spectra. All the synthesized compounds were screened against Gram-positive strains, Gram-negative strains, and fungi. RESULTS Among the synthesized compounds, compound 12h showed the highest activity (IC50 = 0.416 μM) against ALK5 kinase. Compound 12h exhibited a good selectivity index of > 24 against p38α MAP kinase and was 6.0-fold more selective than the clinical candidate, compound 2 (LY-2157299). Nearly all the compounds displayed high selectivity toward both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. They also showed similar or 2.0-fold greater antifungal activity (minimum inhibitory concentration [MIC] = 0.5 µg/mL) compared with the positive control compounds Gatifloxacin (MIC = 0.5 µg/mL) and fluconazole (MIC = 1 µg/mL). CONCLUSION The findings suggest that the synthesized rhodanine compounds have good ALK5 inhibitory activity and can be used for further research and development as potential antifungal drugs.

Abstract
Isosteviol, an ent-beyerane diterpenoid, has been repeatedly reported to possess potent cardioprotective activity. With the aim of discovering new cardioprotective derivatives from isosteviol, 47 compounds, including 40 new ones, were synthesized and evaluated in vivo using the easy-handling and efficient zebrafish model. The structure-activity relationship of this type of compounds was thus discussed. Of these compounds, new derivative 15d exhibited the most pronounced efficacy in vivo. Our results indicated that 15d could effectively prevent the doxorubicin-induced morphological distortions and cardiac dysfunction in zebrafish. Its cardioprotective activity is much better than that of isosteviol, and Levosimendan in zebrafish model. The molecular mechanism underlying in H9c2 cells indicated that 15d protected cardiomyocyte death and damage through inhibiting the reactive oxygen species overproduction, restoring the mitochondrial membrane potential and maintaining morphology of mitochondrial. Thus, 15d merits further development as a potential cardioprotective clinical trial candidate. The present study is a successful example to combine synthesis, structure-activity relationship study and in vivo screening to effectively discover new cardioprotective agents from isosteviol.

Abstract
Heteroatoms as well as heterocyclic scaffolds are frequently present as the common cores in a plethora of active pharmaceuticals natural products. Statistically, more than 85% of all biologically active compounds are heterocycles or comprise a heterocycle and most frequently, nitrogen heterocycles as a backbone in their complex structures. These facts disclose and emphasize the vital role of heterocycles in modern drug design and drug discovery. In this review, we try to present a comprehensive overview of top prescribed drugs containing nitrogen heterocycles, describing their pharmacological properties, medical applications and their selected synthetic pathways. It is worth mentioning that the reported examples are actually limited to current top selling drugs, being or containing N-heterocycles and their synthetic information has been extracted from both scientific journals and the wider patent literature.

Abstract
Pyrazolines are five-membered heterocycles possessing two adjacent nitrogens. They have attracted significant attention from organic and medicinal chemists due to their potent biological activities and the numerous possibilities for structural diversification. In the last decade, they have been intensively studied as targets for potential anticancer therapeutics, producing a steady yearly rise in the number of published research articles. Many pyrazoline derivatives have shown remarkable cytotoxic activities in the form of heterocyclic or non-heterocyclic based hybrids, such as with coumarins, triazoles, and steroids. The enormous amount of related literature in the last 5 years prompted us to collect all these published data from screening against cancer cell lines, or protein targets like EGFR and structure activity relationship studies. Therefore, in the present review, a comprehensive account of the compounds containing the pyrazoline nucleus will be provided. The chemical groups and the structural modifications responsible for the activity will be highlighted. Moreover, emphasis will be given on recent examples from the literature and on the work of research groups that have played a key role in the development of this field.

Abstract
This work used quantum chemical method via DFT to calculate molecular descriptors for the development of QSAR model to predict bioactivity (IC50- 50% inhibition concentration) of the selected 1, 2, 3-triazole-pyrimidine derivatives against receptor (human gastric cancer cell line, MGC-803). The selected molecular parameters were obtained by B3LYP/6-31G∗∗. QSAR model linked the molecular parameters of the studied compounds to their cytotoxicity and reproduced their observed bioactivities against MGC-803. The calculated IC50 tailored the observed IC50 and greater than standard compound, 5-fluorouracil, suggesting that the developed QSAR model reproduced the observed bioactivity. Statistical analyses (including R2, CV. R2 andR a 2 gave 0.950, 0.970 and 0.844 respectively) revealed a very good fitness. Molecular docking studies revealed the hydrogen bonding with the amino acid residues in the binding site, as well as ligand conformations which are essential feature for ligand-receptor interactions. Therefore, the methods used in this study are veritable tools that can be employed in pharmacological and medicinal chemistry researches in designing better drugs with improve potency.

Abstract
Thrombosis is a pathological coagulation process and can lead to many serious thrombotic diseases. Here, we report a novel potent antithrombotic compound (6k) based on isosteviol with anticoagulant and antiplatelet activities. 6k selectively inhibited FXa (Ki = 0.015 μM) against a panel of serine proteases and showed excellent anticoagulant activity (significant prolongation of ex vivo PT and aPTT over the vehicle, p < 0.01). 6k also significantly inhibited ADP-induced platelet aggregation in rats relative to the vehicle (p < 0.01). Furthermore, 6k exhibited potent ex vivo and in vivo antithrombotic activity in rats relative to the vehicle (p < 0.01 and p < 0.0001, respectively). Novel structure 6k, with potent antithrombotic activity, is expected to lead a promising approach for the development of antithrombotic agents.

Abstract
Six series of novel isosteviol derivatives; modified in the C-19 position; were synthesized; and their antiproliferative activity was evaluated against three human cancer cell lines (HCT-116; BEL-7402; HepG2) and the human L02 normal cell line in vitro. Most of the derivatives tested here exhibited improved antiproliferative activity with high selectivity when compared with the parent compound isosteviol and the positive control drug 5-fluorouracil. Among these derivatives; compound 5d exhibited the most potent antiproliferative activity and commendable selectivity between cancer and normal cells. In addition; compound 5d inhibited the colony formation of HCT-116 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. Further studies revealed that compound 5d arrested the HCT-116 cell cycle in the S phase; and western blot analysis demonstrated the mechanism may be correlated with a change in the expression of cyclin A; cyclin B1; and cyclin E1. Furthermore; the results of a docking study that involved placing compound 5d into the CDK2/cyclin A binding site revealed that its mode of action was possibly as a CDK2/cyclin A inhibitor.

Abstract
Water-mediated one-pot Mannich type condensation of dibenzo[b,d]furan-2-ol with different amines resulted in a large library of novel 2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[2,3]benzofuro[4,5-e][1,3]oxazine derivatives in moderate to excellent yields. The ortho-aminomethylation of the dibenzofuranols proceeded smoothly in the presence of various aromatic/aliphatic amines and paraformaldehyde, followed by cyclization. All the newly synthesized tetracyclic 2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[2,3]benzofuro[4,5-e][1,3]oxazine derivatives were chemically characterized and screened for their cytotoxicity activity by cell viability assay (MTT test) against three human cancer cell lines and antibacterial activity by determining the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against four bacterial strains. Among all the derivatives, MCV-24 showed promising anticancer activity by inhibiting the cell proliferation of an ovarian cancer cell line (SKOV3) with an IC50 value at 7.5 µM, whereas MCV-24 to MCV-30 derivatives showed moderate activity against a lung cancer cell line (A549) with an IC50 value ranging from 11 to 15.9 µM. Besides MCV-29, -30, and -31 also exhibited broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. Among all new compounds, MCV-24-30 showed promising anticancer and MCV-29-31 antibacterial activity.

Eur J Med Chem 2016; 125:1247-1267.

Abstract
Regioselective 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazole tethered pyrimidine-2,4-dione derivatives (5-23) were successfully prepared by the copper(I)-catalyzed click chemistry. While known palladium/copper-cocatalyzed method based on Sonogashira cross-coupling followed by the intramolecular 5-endo-dig ring closure generated novel 6-alkylfuro[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2-one-1,2,3-triazole hybrids (24b-37b), a small library of their 5-alkylethynyl analogs (24a-37a) was synthesized and described for the first time by tandem terminal alkyne dimerization and subsequent 5-endo-trig cyclization, which was additionally corroborated with computational and X-ray crystal structure analyses. The nature of substituents on alkynes and thereof homocoupled 1,3-diynes predominantly influenced the ratio of the formed products in both pathways. In vitro antiproliferative activity of prepared compounds evaluated on five human cancer cell lines revealed that N,N-1,3-bis-(1,2,3-triazole)-5-bromouracil (5-7) and 5,6-disubstituted furo[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2-one-1,2,3-triazole 34a hybrids exhibited the most pronounced cytostatic acitivities against hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) and cervical carcinoma (HeLa) cells with higher potencies than the reference drug 5-fluorouracil. Cytostatic effect of pyrimidine-2,4-dione-1,2,3-triazole hybrid 7 in HepG2 cells could be attributed to the Wee-1 kinase inhibition and abolishment of sphingolipid signaling mediated by acid ceramidase and sphingosine kinase 1. Importantly, this compound proved to be a non-mitochondrial toxicant, which makes it a promising candidate for further lead optimization and development of a new and more efficient agent for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Abstract
A series of novel 1,2,3-triazole-linked isosteviol derivatives were designed and synthesized via Huisgen-click reaction. Their cytotoxicities in vitro against HCT-116 and JEKO-1 cells were screened. The preliminary bioassays indicated that most of the title compounds exhibited noteworthy cytotoxic activities. Particularly, the compound 10b revealed the most potent inhibitory activities against HCT-116 cells with IC50 value of 2.987±0.098μM, which was better than that (3.906±0.261μM) of positive control cisplatin. On the basis of these bioactivity data, hologram quantitative structure-activity relationship (HQSAR) was performed, and a statistically reliable model with good predictive power (r2=0.848, q2=0.544 and R2pred=0.982) was achieved. Additionally, the contribution maps derived from the optimal model explained the individual atomic contributions to the activity for each molecule.

Abstract
The present review article offers a detailed account of the design strategies employed for the synthesis of nitrogen-containing anticancer agents. The results of different studies describe the N-heterocyclic ring system is a core structure in many synthetic compounds exhibiting a broad range of biological activities. Benzimidazole, benzothiazole, indole, acridine, oxadiazole, imidazole, isoxazole, pyrazole, triazoles, quinolines and quinazolines including others drugs containing pyridazine, pyridine and pyrimidines are covered. The following studies of these compounds suggested that these compounds showed their antitumor activities through multiple mechanisms including inhibiting protein kinase (CDK, MK-2, PLK1, kinesin-like protein Eg5 and IKK), topoisomerase I and II, microtubule inhibition, and many others. Our concise representation exploits the design and anticancer potency of these compounds. The direct comparison of anticancer activities with the standard enables a systematic analysis of the structure-activity relationship among the series.

Abstract
Two new pyrazoline derivatives, namely 5-(4-bromophenyl)-3-(5-chlorothiophen-2-yl)-1-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole (3) and 5-(4-bromophenyl)-3-(2,5-dichlorothiophen-3-yl)-1-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole (4) have been synthesized and characterized based on their spectral (IR, (1)H and (13)C NMR and MS) data and microanalysis. The fluorescence properties of 3 and 4 were studied by UV-Vis and emission spectroscopy. For compound 3, a fluorescence emission was observed in the blue region of the visible spectrum. The effect of different solvents on fluorescence was also investigated. Density Functional Theory calculations have also been performed to gain insight into geometric, electronic and spectroscopic properties of the pyrazoline derivatives. Both structures are analysed and compared in order to rationalize the different behaviour in 3 and 4.

Abstract
BACKGROUND For the last two decades, diterpenoid isosteviol and its derivatives have gained significant attention for novel chemical transformation in the drug discovery field. RESULTS An efficient way towards the synthesis of structurally diverse isosteviol derivatives was described here employing unsaturated functionalities as attractive templates for further transformation such as epoxidation. These structurally diverse compounds exhibited promising cytotoxic activities on different types of cancer cell lines, leading to drug discovery derived from natural products for the treatment of cancer. CONCLUSION In this work, novel isosteviol derivatives with Michael acceptors were synthesized to expand the diversity and complexity of a class of isosteviol-derived triazole conjugates to facilitate the development of potential antitumor agents.

Abstract
A series of novel triphenylphosphonium (TPP) cations of the diterpenoid isosteviol (1, 16-oxo-ent-beyeran-19-oic acid) have been synthesized and evaluated in an in vivo phenotypic sea urchin embryo assay for antimitotic activity. The TPP moiety was applied as a carrier to provide selective accumulation of a connected compound into mitochondria. When applied to fertilized eggs, the targeted isosteviol TPP conjugates induced mitotic arrest with the formation of aberrant multipolar mitotic spindles, whereas both isosteviol and the methyltriphenylphosphonium cation were inactive. The structure-activity relationship study revealed the essential role of the TPP group for the realization of the isosteviol effect, while the chemical structure and the length of the linker only slightly influenced the antimitotic potency. The results obtained using the sea urchin embryo model suggested that TPP conjugates of isosteviol induced mitotic spindle defects and mitotic arrest presumably by affecting mitochondrial DNA. Since targeting mitochondria is considered as an encouraging strategy for cancer therapy, TPP-isosteviol conjugates may represent promising candidates for further design as anticancer agents.

Abstract
Novel androstenoarylpyrazolines were synthesized stereoselectively by the BF3-induced intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of alkenyl hydrazones obtained from a steroidal D-seco-aldehyde with differently substituted arylhydrazines. The reaction rates were observed to be affected significantly by the electronic character of the substituents on the aromatic moiety. The cyclizations are assumed to follow a stepwise rather than a pure concerted mechanism, to afford arylpyrazolidines as primary products. Spontaneous oxidation of the saturated N,N-heterocycles under the reaction conditions led to pyrazoline derivatives in good to excellent yields. In in vitro antiproliferative studies on a panel of breast cancer cells (MCF7, T47D, MDA-MB-231, and MDA-MB-361), some of the 3-deacetylated cycloadducts exerted marked growth inhibitory activities, with IC(50) values in the range 3.56-9.32 μm, which are comparable to that for the reference agent cisplatin.

Abstract
One of the keys for successfully developing drugs against the broad spectrum of cancer cell types is structural diversity. In the current study, we focused on a family of isosteviol derivatives as potential novel antitumor agents. Isosteviol is a tetracyclic diterpenoid obtained by acid hydrolysis of steviol glycoside extracts isolated from abundant Stevia rebaudiana plants. In this work, we have designed and synthesized a panel of isosteviol triazole conjugates using "click" chemistry methodology. Evaluation of these compounds against a series of cancer cell lines derived from primary and metastatic tumors demonstrated that these conjugates exhibit cytotoxic activities with IC50 in the low μM range. In addition, their anti-proliferative activities are cancer cell type specific. Taken together, our studies underscore the importance of structural diversity in achieving cancer cell type specific drug development.
