A novel series of quinolizidine salicylamides was synthesized as specific inhibitors of the H1 subtype of influenza A viruses. These inhibitors inhibit the pH-induced fusion process, thereby blocking viral entry into host cells. Compound 16 was the most active inhibitor in this series with an EC50 of 0.25 microg/mL in plaque reduction assay. The synthesis and the SAR of these compounds are discussed.

Article Synopsis
- Genisteae is a tribe in the legume family Fabaceae known for producing quinolizidine alkaloids that help resist pests, but its generic relationships remain unclear due to a lack of modern studies.
- Previous research identified three main clades within Genisteae: Lupinus, Cytisus-Genista, and Argyrolobium, with ongoing debates about the classification of certain genera like Teline and Chamaecytisus.
- Recent phylogenomic analysis, using extensive data from 24 of the tribe's 25 genera, revealed four significant clades within Genisteae, clarified the placement of Teline and Sellocharis, and supported the transfer of the Argyrolobium group into Gen

Cardiac arrhythmias remain a significant cause of mortality and morbidity, for novel antiarrhythmic therapies. This study states that the first report of sophoridine (SPN), a quinolizidine alkaloid derived from traditional Chinese herbs, shows promise as a potential candidate due to its anti-arrhythmic and antioxidant properties. The study found that cell viability in H9C2 rat cardiomyocytes remained stable even when treated with SPN at a higher dosage of 100 μg/ml.

Aloperine (ALO), a quinolizidine-type alkaloid isolated from a natural Chinese herb, has shown promising antitumor effects. Nevertheless, its common mechanism of action and specific target remain elusive. Here, it is demonstrated that ALO inhibits the proliferation and migration of non-small cell lung cancer cell lines in vitro and the tumor development in several mouse tumor models in vivo.
