Virtual Screening Identifies Inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2 Main Protease through Pharmacophore and Similarity Approaches.

Introduction: The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 and the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the urgent need for novel antiviral therapies. The main protease (Mpro) of SARS-CoV-2 is a key enzyme in viral replication and a promising therapeutic target.

Methods: This study employed virtual screening approaches to identify potential Mpro inhibitors, leveraging both structure- and ligand-based methods.

Discovery and Chemical Exploration of Spiro[Benzofuran-3,3'-Pyrroles] Derivatives as Innovative FLT3 Inhibitors for Targeting Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

Aims: This study aimed at the synthesis of several spiro[benzofuran-3,3'-pyrroles] derivatives by a three-component reaction conducted by mixing DMAD, N-bridgehead het-erocycles, and benzofuran-2,3-diones in dichloromethane at room temperature for 24 h. Moreover, in vitro evaluation of their cytotoxicity affinities against FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 was carried out.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to use a one-pot, three-component reaction to synthesize a novel set of spiro[benzofuran-3,3'-pyrroles] derivatives.

Synthesis, crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis, and DFT calculation of 4-(5-(((1-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-1-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methyl)thio)-4-phenyl-4-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)pyridine.

Triazole is considered as a privileged scaffold in medicinal chemistry by virtue of it is diverse biological activity. several drugs currently in the market possess triazole moiety. In this study click chemistry was performed on the pyridine based 1,2,4-triazole-tethered propargyl moiety to afford 4-(5-(((1-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-1-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methyl)thio)-4-phenyl-4-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)pyridine The new compound was fully characterized by H NMR, C NMR, HRMS and X-ray diffraction (XRD).

Lack of glycemic control in type two diabetes mellitus patients is associated with reduced serum epidermal growth factor level and increased insulin resistance.

The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is steadily increasing worldwide in an alarming fashion. Importantly, poor glycemic control is associated with development of various health sequalae's due to glucolipotoxicity, oxidative stress and increased inflammatory cytokines. The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of glycemic control on the relative abundance of inflammatory markers in patients with controlled and uncontrolled T2DM, and to test their association with the glycemic status in diabetic patients in Jordan.

Histamine H receptor antagonist/nitric oxide donors as novel promising therapeutic hybrid-tools for glaucoma and retinal neuroprotection.

Glaucoma is a degenerative optic neuropathy in which the degeneration of optic nerve and blindness occur. The main cause is a malfunction of ciliary processes (protrusions of the ciliary bodies) resulting in increased intraocular pressure (IOP). Ocular hypertension (OHT) causes ischemic events leading to retinal ganglion cell (RGC) depletion and blindness.
