COVID-19-associated familial acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM): A case report.

Background: Several neurological complications are being reported in hospitalized patients with severe COVID-19 infection. This is presumed due to direct spread of infection or due to immunological response. Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is a rare inflammatory and demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system that is often preceded by infection or vaccination.

The deubiquitylase USP9X controls ribosomal stalling.

When a ribosome stalls during translation, it runs the risk of collision with a trailing ribosome. Such an encounter leads to the formation of a stable di-ribosome complex, which needs to be resolved by a dedicated machinery. The initial stalling and the subsequent resolution of di-ribosomal complexes requires activity of Makorin and ZNF598 ubiquitin E3 ligases, respectively, through ubiquitylation of the eS10 and uS10 subunits of the ribosome.

Structure-Based Design and Identification of FT-2102 (Olutasidenib), a Potent Mutant-Selective IDH1 Inhibitor.

Inhibition of mutant IDH1 is being evaluated clinically as a treatment option for oncology. Here we describe the structure-based design and optimization of quinoline lead compounds to identify , a potent, orally bioavailable, brain penetrant, and selective mIDH1 inhibitor. has excellent ADME/PK properties and reduces 2-hydroxyglutarate levels in an mIDH1 xenograft tumor model.

Discovery and Optimization of Quinolinone Derivatives as Potent, Selective, and Orally Bioavailable Mutant Isocitrate Dehydrogenase 1 (mIDH1) Inhibitors.

Mutations at the arginine residue (R132) in isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) are frequently identified in various human cancers. Inhibition of mutant IDH1 (mIDH1) with small molecules has been clinically validated as a promising therapeutic treatment for acute myeloid leukemia and multiple solid tumors. Herein, we report the discovery and optimization of a series of quinolinones to provide potent and orally bioavailable mIDH1 inhibitors with selectivity over wild-type IDH1.
