In the realm of oncology, the transformative impact of PROTAC (PROteolysis TAgeting Chimeras) technology has been particularly pronounced since its introduction in the 21st century. Initially conceived for cancer treatment, PROTACs have evolved beyond their primary scope, attracting increasing interest in addressing a diverse array of medical conditions. This expanded focus includes not only oncological disorders but also viral infections, bacterial ailments, immune dysregulation, neurodegenerative conditions, and metabolic disorders.

Despite its prevalence and impact, there is currently no definitive ante mortem diagnosis for AD pathogenesis. By 2050, the United States may face a staggering 13.

MRSA often acquires the non-native gene PBP2a, which results in reduced susceptibility to β-lactam antibiotics, thus conferring resistance.

Utilising bifunctional small molecules, the ubiquitin-proteosome system (UPS) is used to induce the ubiquitination and degradation of target proteins. In addition to being novel chemical knockdown agents for biological studies that are catalytic, reversible, and rapid, PROTACs used in the treatment for disorders like cancer, immunological disorders, viral diseases, and neurological disorders.

The aim of the present literature is to underline the different scaffolds or enzyme inhibitors that inhibit mycolic acid biosynthesis mainly cell wall synthesis by inhibiting enzyme InhA. Various scaffolds were identified based on the screening technologies like high throughput screening, encoded library technology, fragment-based screening.

However, AR mutation (F876L) converts Enzalutamide from antagonist to agonist indicating a rapid evolution of resistance. Hence, our goal is to overcome this resistance mechanism by designing and developing novel Enzalutamide analogues.

Several factors, such as pancreatic damage, oxidative stress, infection, genetic factor, obesity, liver dysfunction, play a vital role in the pathogenesis of diabetes, which further leads to serious diabetic complications. The diabetic wound is one such complication where the wound formation occurs, especially due to pressure and its healing process is disrupted due to factors, such as hyperglycemia, neuropathy, nephropathy, peripheral vascular disease, reduction of blood flow, atherosclerosis, impaired fibroblast.

Background: We have developed a new series of 36 substituted thiazole derivatives prepared via reaction of substituted benzothiazole-2-amine with substituted phenacyl bromide.
Objective: This study was aimed to develop and successfully evaluate anti-inflammatory activity of substituted thiazole derivatives.
Method: A new series of 36 substituted thiazole derivatives was synthesized and derivatives were characterized by analytical and spectrometric methods like IR, MS, and 1H NMR.
Fragment based Quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) analysis on reported 25 2-(2-(4-aryloxybenzylidene) hydrazinyl) benzothiazole dataset as antitubercular agents were carried out. Molecules in the current dataset were fragmented into six fragments (R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6).Group based QSAR Models were derived using Multiple linear regression (MLR) analysis and selected on the basis of various statistical parameters.

p-Hydroxybenzohydrazide 2 on treatment with aromatic/aliphatic aldehyde followed by cyclization with carbon disulphide afforded compounds 4a-4n. Also, compound 2 by treatment of substituted isothiocyanate followed by the treatment of chloroacetic acid yields the corresponding compounds 6a-6i. All the test compounds were assayed for antihypertensive activity by non-invasive blood pressure measurement and invasive blood pressure measurement methods.
