The Development of the Combination Drug Leukovir Tablets for the Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis: A Comprehensive Review.

The review is devoted to the development and study of the drug Leukovir (cladribine+ ribavirin) and its use in the treatment of relapsing-remitting and secondary progressive forms of multiple sclerosis, a chronic neurodegenerative disease aiming the risk reduction of relapse and progression of a disability. In clinical trials Leukovir has proved to be efficient by up to 56 weeks for the treatment of relapsing-remitting and secondary progressive forms of multiple sclerosis. The drug is registered in the Republic of Belarus.

The study of NF-κB transcription factor activation by Pseudomonas aeruginosa recombinant proteins in eukaryotic cell culture.

The transcription factor NF-κB is a key factor in the activation of immune responses; it is in turn activated by pattern recognition receptors, such as TLR and NLR receptors. The search for ligands activating innate immunity receptors is an important scientific problem due to the possibility of their use as adjuvants and immunomodulators. In this study the effect of recombinant Pseudomonas aeruginosa OprF proteins and a toxoid (a deletion atoxic form of exotoxin A) on the activation of TLR4, TLR9, NOD1, and NOD2 receptors has been investigated.

Novel Phthalic-Based Anticancer Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors: Design, Synthesis and Biological Activity.

In this work, fragments of isophthalic and terephthalic acids are proposed as a structural scaffold to develop potential inhibitors of protein kinases. Novel isophthalic and terephthalic acid derivatives were designed as type-2 protein kinase inhibitors, synthesized and subjected to physicochemical characterization. The screening of their cytotoxic actions against a panel of cell lines derived from different types of tumors (liver, renal, breast and lung carcinomas, as well as chronic myelogenous and promyelocytic leukemia) and normal human B lymphocyte, for the sake of comparison, was performed.

Synthesis, In Vitro and In Silico Anticancer Activity of New 4-Methylbenzamide Derivatives Containing 2,6-Substituted Purines as Potential Protein Kinases Inhibitors.

A novel class of potential protein kinase inhibitors - was synthesized in high yields using various substituted purines. The most promising compounds, and exhibited inhibitory activity against seven cancer cell lines. The IC values for compounds and were 2.

Synthesis, Biological Activities and Docking Studies of Novel 4-(Arylaminomethyl)benzamide Derivatives as Potential Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors.

A number of new compounds containing the 4-(aminomethyl)benzamide fragment as a linker were designed and synthesized, and their biological activities were evaluated as potential anticancer agents. The cytotoxicity activity of the designed compounds was studied in two hematological and five solid cell lines in comparison with the reference drugs. Targeted structures against eight receptor tyrosine kinases including EGFR, HER-2, HER-4, IGF1R, InsR, KDR, PDGFRa, and PDGFRb were investigated.
