Following the discovery of N-acyl-1,4-diazepan-2-one as a novel pharmacophore for potent and selective DPP-4 inhibitors, optimization of this new lead with different substitution on the seven-membered ring resulted in several highly potent and selective, orally bioavailable, and efficacious DPP-4 inhibitors, such as 3R-methyl-1-cyclopropyl-1,4-diazepan-2-one derivative 9i (DPP-4 IC(50)=8.0 nM) and 3R,6R-dimethyl-1,4-diazepan-2-one derivative 14a (DPP-4 IC(50)=9.7 nM).

A microwave-assisted method was utilized to synthesize novel pyranoquinolone derivatives as dual acting topoisomerase II/DNA gyrase inhibitors with apoptosis induction ability for halting lung cancer and staphylococcal infection. Herein, the designed rationale was directed toward mimicking the structural features of both topoisomerase II and DNA gyrase inhibitors as well as endowing them with apoptosis induction potential. The absolute configuration of the series was assigned using X-ray diffraction analysis.

Aims: Cisplatin is a frontline chemotherapeutic utilized to attenuate multiple cancers in the clinic. Given its side-effects, a new cisplatin formulation which could prevent cytotoxicity, metabolic deficiencies and metastasis is much needed. This study investigates whether nanocarriers can provide a better mode of drug delivery in preclinical cancer models seeking a potent anticancer therapeutic agent.

We optimized our highly potent and cell-active chemical probe for phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate 5-kinase (PIKfyve), SGC-PIKFYVE-1, resulting in compounds with improved potency and demonstrated stability. Use of an in-cell, kinome-wide selectivity panel allowed for confirmation of excellent in-cell selectivity of our lead compound, , and another promising analogue, . Evaluation of the pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles of these two compounds revealed that both are well tolerated systemically and orally bioavailable.

Tumor vaccines that activate the autologous immune system to eliminate tumor cells represent a promising approach in cancer immunotherapy. However, challenges such as tumor heterogeneity, limited antigen selection, insufficient antigen presentation, and the slow onset of de novo immune responses have resulted in poor universality and suboptimal response rates. In contrast, pathogen-specific pre-existing immunity acquired through infection or vaccination, can rapidly generate a more potent and enduring immune response upon re-encounter with the same antigen.
