The present work describes the discovery of novel series of (4,4-difluoro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-5H-1-benzazepine-5-ylidene)acetamide derivatives as arginine vasopressin (AVP) V(2) receptor agonists. By replacing the amide juncture in YM-35278 with a direct ring connection gave compound 10a, which acts as a V(2) receptor agonist. These studies provided the potent, orally active non-peptidic V(2) receptor agonists 10a and 10j.

Pasireotide is an effective treatment for both Cushing's disease (CD) and acromegaly due to its ability to suppress adrenocorticotropic hormone and growth hormone, and to normalize insulin-like growth factor-1 levels, resulting in tumor shrinkage. However, it may also cause hyperglycemia as a side effect in some patients. The aim of this study was to review previous recommendations regarding the management of pasireotide-induced hyperglycemia in patients with CD and acromegaly and to propose efficient monitoring and treatment algorithms based on recent evidence and current guidelines for type 2 diabetes treatment.

Motivation: Understanding the conformational landscape of protein-ligand interactions is critical for elucidating the binding mechanisms that govern these interactions. Traditional methods like molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are computationally intensive, leading to a demand for more efficient approaches. This study explores how multiple sequence alignment (MSA) clustering enhance AF-Multimer's ability to predict conformational landscapes, particularly for proteins with multiple conformational states.

Purpose: Benzodiazepine receptor agonists (BZRAs), including benzodiazepines (BZDs) and Z drugs, are widely prescribed for anxiety and sleep. Therefore, issues of tolerance, dependence and adverse effects are of concern. Recent studies suggested a potential link between BZRAs and hearing problems.

The global prevalence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is estimated at 32.4%, reflecting its growing clinical significance. MASLD, which includes MASLD and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) has been linked to increased metabolic, cardiovascular, and malignant morbidity.

Resmetirom is a thyroid hormone receptor agonist that has been recently approved by the FDA for the management of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). MASH is a severe form of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MASLD), which is marked by hepatic inflammation and potential progression to cirrhosis and liver cancer. This review analyzes and demonstrates the efficacy of resmetirom in reducing intra-hepatic lipids, improving liver histology, and improving metabolic parameters.
