A structurally biased chemical library of pyridazinylpiperazine analogs was prepared in an effort to improve the pharmaceutical and pharmacological profile of the lead compound N-(4-tertiarybutylphenyl)-4-(3-chloropyridin-2-yl)tetrahydropyrazine-1(2H)-carboxamide (BCTC). The library was evaluated for VR1 antagonist activity in capsaicin-induced (CAP) and pH5.5-induced (pH) FLIPR assays in a human VR1-expressing HEK293 cell line. The most potent VR1 antagonists were found to have IC(50) values in the range of 9-200nM with improved pharmaceutical and pharmacological profiles versus the lead BCTC. These compounds represent possible second-generation BCTC analogs.

TGFβ family ligands are synthesized as precursors consisting of an N-terminal prodomain and C-terminal growth factor (GF) signaling domain. After proteolytic processing, the prodomain typically remains noncovalently associated with the GF, sometimes forming a high-affinity latent procomplex that requires activation. For the TGFβ family ligand anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), the prodomain maintains a high-affinity interaction with its GF that does not render it latent.

Impaired wound healing affects the life quality of patients and causes a substantial financial burden. Hydrogen-rich medium is reported to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. However, the role of hydrogen-rich saline (HRS) in cutaneous wound healing remains largely unexplored, especially by metabolomics.

A novel 2'-α-fluoro-2'-β--(fluoromethyl) purine nucleoside phosphoramidate prodrug has been designed and synthesized to treat SARS-CoV-2 infection. The SARS-CoV-2 central replication transcription complex (C-RTC, nsp12-nsp7-nsp8) catalyzed in vitro RNA synthesis was effectively inhibited by the corresponding bioactive nucleoside triphosphate (). The cryo-electron microscopy structure of the C-RTC: complex was also determined.

Objective: Identifying factors influencing cannabidiol (CBD) exposure can optimize treatment efficacy and safety. We aimed to describe the population pharmacokinetics of CBD in children with drug-resistant developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) and assess the influence of environmental, pharmacological, and clinical characteristics on CBD systemic exposure.
Methods: Data from two pharmacokinetic studies of patients aged 2-18 years with DEEs were included (N = 48 patients).
