Galantamine plays a crucial role in the management of brain disorders. In this study, a series of galantamine analogues were designed, synthesized and evaluated as potential therapeutic agents for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Compound C2, a dual inhibitor of cholinesterase, was obtained by introducing a benzylpyridine ring to the hydroxyl group of galantamine.

Lipid metabolism disorder is the cause of one of the most significant metabolic changes in tumors. In the process of tumor occurrence and development, tumor cells choose a continuous metabolic adaptation to accommodate the changing environment to the maximum extent possible. In a variety of tumors, the uptake, production, and storage of lipids are generally upregulated.

Antimicrobial resistance is a significant cause of mortality globally due to infections, a trend that is expected to continue to rise. As existing treatments fail and new drug discovery slows, the urgency to develop novel antimicrobial therapeutics grows stronger. One promising strategy involves targeting bacterial systems exclusive to pathogens, such as the transcription regulator protein GabR.

Although glycosidic bonds in purines typically involve the N9 position, the chemical synthesis of adenosine produces N7-ribofuranosyladenine (7A) as a kinetically favorable ribosylation product. Similarly, in the synthesis of LNA-adenosine (AL), a minor product, N7-LNA-adenosine (7AL), is observed. While extensive research has focused on investigating the properties of N9-regioisomers of adenosine, 7A has been largely overlooked and considered as a side-product.

Malaria remains a serious global health challenge, yet treatment and control programs are threatened by drug resistance. Dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) was clinically validated as a target for treatment and prevention of malaria through human studies with DSM265, but currently no drugs against this target are in clinical use. We used structure-based computational tools including free energy perturbation (FEP+) to discover highly ligand efficient, potent, and selective pyrazole-based DHODH inhibitors through a scaffold hop from a pyrrole-based series.
