Use of a chlorophenoxyacetamide P1 group with a pyridinone acetamide P2/P3 gave an exceptionally potent thrombin inhibitor (K(i)=40 pM). Truncation of the molecule at the N-terminus gave unique, low nanomolar, non-covalent thrombin inhibitors which do not have a group to fill thrombin's 'distal binding pocket'. A co-crystal structure indicates the importance of an intramolecular hydrogen bond between the P1 side chain and P1/P2 amide link in this series.

Independent methods show that sub-microMolar concentrations of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), a member of the PFAS family of "forever chemicals", change the properties of DPPC vesicle bilayers. Specifically, calorimetry measurements show that PFOA at concentrations as low as 0.1 nM lowers DPPC's gel-liquid crystalline transition enthalpy by several J/g without changing the transition temperature (), and dynamic light scattering (DLS) data illustrate that PFOA markedly broadens the size distribution of DPPC vesicles.

Introduction: Approximately one-third of all AML patients have a mutation in the Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 () gene, which is associated with a poor prognosis in these individuals. The 2017 approval of midostaurin, the first FLT3 inhibitor, spurred extensive development of more potent and selective inhibitors with an improved safety profile.
Areas Covered: This review analyzes patent inventions for the treatment of AML using FLT3 inhibitors, covering developments from the earliest to the most recent, disclosed in 2024.

Background: The cannabinoid type 2 receptors (CB2R) represent a target of increasing importance in neuroimaging due to its upregulation under various neuropathological conditions. Previous evaluation of [F]JHU94620 for the non-invasive assessment of the CB2R availability by positron emission tomography (PET) revealed favourable binding properties and brain uptake, however rapid metabolism, and generation of brain-penetrating radiometabolites have been its main limitations. To reduce the bias of CB2R quantification by blood-brain barrier (BBB)-penetrating radiometabolites, we aimed to improve the metabolic stability by developing -d and -d deuterated isotopologues of [F]JHU94620.

Somatostatin receptor-4 (SST) is a therapeutic target for several conditions, including Alzheimer's disease, seizures, neuropsychiatric disorders, and pain. Our previous work on 1,2,4-triazole derivatives led to enhanced SST binding affinity, selectivity, and functional activity. Herein we report the discovery of 3-thio-1,2,4-triazole series as selective and high affinity SST agonists.

This study reports the development and implementation of a straightforward, rapid, and cost-effective voltammetric technique for piroxicam (PIR) detection at nanomolar concentrations in biological and environmental samples. The method involved the use of a screen-printed electrode (SPE) enhanced with a combination of Printex L6 carbon (PL6C) and polyaniline-based activated carbon (PAC) on a chitosan film crosslinked with epichlorohydrin (CTS:EPH). The detection was carried out using square-wave adsorptive anodic stripping voltammetry (SWAdASV) in a 0.
