This study involved designing, synthesizing, and evaluating the protective potential of compounds on microglial cells (BV-2 cells) and neurons (SH-SY5Y cells) against cell death induced by Aβ. It aimed to identify biologically specific activities associated with anti-Aβ aggregation and understand their role in oxidative stress initiation and modulation of proinflammatory cytokine expression. Actively designed compounds CE5, CA5, PE5, and PA5 showed protective effects on BV-2 and SH-SY5Y cells, with cell viability ranging from 60.

α-Mangostin, a major xanthone found in mangosteen ( L., Family Clusiaceae) pericarp, has been shown to exhibit anticancer effects through multiple mechanisms of action. However, its effects on immune checkpoint programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) have not been studied.

Tirandamycin (TAM B) is a tetramic acid antibiotic discovered to be active on a screen designed to find compounds with neuroprotective activity. The producing strain, SBST2-5, is an actinobacterium that was isolated from wastewater treatment bio-sludge compost collected from Suphanburi province, Thailand. Taxonomic characterization based on a polyphasic approach indicates that strain SBST2-5 is a member of the genus Streptomyces and shows low average nucleotide identity (ANI) (81.

αβ Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) has been recognized as an emerging biomarker for the early detection of drug addiction. Herein, αβ nAChR ligands were designed and synthesized to improve the binding affinity and selectivity of two lead compounds, - and -, for the development of an αβ nAChR tracer. The structural modification was achieved by retaining the key features and expanding the molecular structure with a benzyloxy group to increase the lipophilicity for blood-brain barrier penetration and to extend the ligand-receptor interaction.

Insulin fibril formation decreases the effectiveness of insulin therapy and causes amyloidosis in diabetes. Studies suggest that phytochemicals are capable of inhibiting fibril formation. Herein, we investigated the inhibitory effects of anthocyanins, including cyanidin, cyanidin-3-glucoside (C3G), cyanidin-3-rutinoside (C3R), malvidin, and malvidin-3-glucoside (M3G) on fibril formation.

The selective binding of six ()-quinuclidine-triazoles and their ()-enantiomers to nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) subtypes α3β4 and α7, respectively, were analyzed by docking to provide the insight into the molecular basis for the observed stereospecific subtype discrimination. Homology modeling followed by molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations revealed that unique amino acid residues in the complementary subunits of the nAChR subtypes are involved in subtype-specific selectivity profiles. In the complementary β4-subunit of the α3β4 nAChR binding pocket, non-conserved AspB173 through a salt bridge was found to be the key determinant for the α3β4 selectivity of the quinuclidine-triazole chemotype, explaining the 47-327-fold affinity of the ()-enantiomers as compared to their ()-enantiomer counterparts.
