Impact of the Arylation of Fused N-bridged BODIPY Dyes in Photophysical Properties.

Functionalization of BODIPY dyes is commonly used to modulate photophysical properties. Among the chemical modification of these dyes, ring fusion indifferent faces of dipyrromethene cores is gaining attention in the literature, due to the modulation of emission/absorption properties and fluorophores with increased bright. N-bridged arylated BODIPYs were recently synthesized and shows intense bright and blu shifted emission.

Ligand-based design, synthesis and biochemical evaluation of potent and selective inhibitors of Schistosoma mansoni dihydroorotate dehydrogenase.

Schistosomiasis ranks second only to malaria as the most common parasitic disease worldwide. 700 million people are at risk and 240 million are already infected. Praziquantel is the anthelmintic of choice but decreasing efficacy has already been documented.
