A novel series of malonamide-type dual VEGFR2/c-Met inhibitors in which one of the amide bonds was replaced by an amide isostere-a trifluoroethylamine unit, was designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their enzymatic and cellular inhibition of VEGFR2 and c-Met enzymes. Optimization of these molecular entities resulted in identification of potent and selective inhibitors of VEGFR2 enzyme.

Introduction: Schistosomiasis has for many years relied on a single drug, praziquantel (PZQ) for treatment of the disease. Immense efforts have been invested in the discovery of protein kinase (PK) inhibitors; however, given that the majority of PKs are still not targeted by an inhibitor with a useful level of selectivity, there is a compelling need to expand the chemical space available for synthesizing new, potent, and selective PK inhibitors. Small-molecule inhibitors targeting the ATP pocket of the catalytic domain of PKs have the potential to become drugs devoid of (major) side effects, particularly if they bind selectively.

Hepatic carcinoma, one of the most malignant cancers in the world, has limited success with immunotherapy and a poor prognosis in patients. While pyroptosis is considered as a promising immunotherapy strategy for tumors, it still suffers from a lack of effective inducers. We designed, synthesized and screened an indole analogue, , featuring a 2, 4-thiazolidinedione substituted indole scaffold.

Drug resistance poses a major obstacle to the efficient treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC), which is one of the cancers that kill people most often in the United States. Advanced colorectal cancer patients frequently pass away from the illness, even with advancements in chemotherapy and targeted therapies. Developing new biomarkers and therapeutic targets is essential to enhancing prognosis and therapy effectiveness.
