Synthesis, X-ray crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis, and molecular docking study of novel inhibitor of hepatitis B: methyl 4-fluoro-3-(morpholinosulfonyl)benzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylate.

A method of 4-fluoro-3-(morpholinosulfonyl)benzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylate synthesis has been developed and the electronic and spatial structure of a new biologically active molecule has been studied both theoretically and experimentally. The title compound was crystallized from acetonitrile and the single crystal X-ray analysis has revealed that it exists in a monoclinic P2/c space group, with one molecule in the asymmetric part of the unit cell. Hirshfeld surface analysis was used to study intermolecular interactions in the crystal.

IncobotulinumtoxinA in aesthetics: Russian multidisciplinary expert consensus recommendations.

Background: Although there are various international consensus recommendations on the use of botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT/A) in facial aesthetics, there are no global or Russian guidelines on the optimal dose of incobotulinumtoxinA, free from complexing proteins, within specific aesthetic indications. This article reports the outcomes of two expert consensus meetings, conducted to review and analyze efficacy and tolerability data for incobotulinumtoxinA in various facial aesthetic indications and to give expert consensus recommendations to ensure best clinical practice among Russian clinicians.

Methods: Thirteen dermatology and/or plastic surgery experts attended meetings held in Paris, France (November 2013), and Moscow, Russia (March 2014).

Synthesis of heterocyclic compounds possessing the 4H-thieno[3,2-b]pyrrole moiety.

A series of novel heterocyclic combinatorial libraries containing 4H-thieno[3,2-b]pyrrole, thieno[2',3':4,5]-pyrrol[1,2-d][1,2,4]triazine and thieno[2',3':4,5]pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine heterocyclic moieties were obtained by parallel solution-phase synthesis. Key steps include different reactions of initial alkyl 4H-thieno[3,2-b]-pyrrole-5-carboxylates, such as alkylation with alkylating agents; transformation of the carboxylate group into different reactive functionalities, followed by reactions with electrophilic species; intramolecular cyclizations; and amide bond formation. Simple manual techniques for parallel reactions were coupled with easy purification procedures to give high-purity final products.
