Synthesized series of cage dimeric 1,4-dihydropyridines have been systematically evaluated as MDR modulators in in vitro assays to investigate structure-dependent selectivity properties of inhibiting most cancer-relevant efflux pump proteins. Structure-activity relationships of each P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and multidrug resistance associated protein (MRP) 1 and MRP2 inhibition are discussed and prove to be mainly determined by certain aromatic substitution patterns. The characterization of breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) inhibition results in the discovery of benzyloxy substituted derivatives as selective P-gp inhibitors.

Quinoline is a highly privileged scaffold with significant pharmacological potential. Introducing a carbonyl group into the quinoline ring generates a quinolone ring, which exhibits promising biological properties. Incorporating a carboxamide linkage at different positions within the quinoline and quinolone frameworks has proven an effective strategy for enhancing pharmacological properties, particularly anticancer potency.

Molecular glue degraders (MGDs) are small molecules that facilitate proximity between a target protein and an E3 ubiquitin ligase, thereby inducing target protein degradation. Glutarimide-containing compounds are MGDs that bind cereblon (CRBN) and recruit neosubstrates. Through explorative synthesis of a glutarimide-based library, we discovered a series of molecules that induce casein kinase 1 alpha (CK1α) degradation.

Constructing fecal-derived electrocatalysts for CO upcycling: simultaneously tackling waste and carbon emissions.

Nanoscale

January 2025

School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, School of the Environment, State Key Laboratory of Pollution Control & Resource Reuse, State Key Laboratory of Coordination Chemistry, Nanjing University, Nanjing 210023, China.

The escalating global fecal waste and rising CO levels present dual significant environmental challenges, further intensified by urbanization. Traditional fecal waste management methods are insufficient, particularly in addressing the related health risks and environmental threats. This study explores the synthesis of biochar from pig manure as a carbon substrate to disperse and stabilize Cu nanoparticles, resulting in the formation of an efficient Cu-NB-2000 electrocatalyst for electrocatalytic CO reduction (ECR).

In the last few years, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been the cause of a worldwide pandemic, highlighting the need for novel antiviral agents. The main protease (M) of SARS-CoV-2 was immediately identified as a crucial enzyme for viral replication and has been validated as a drug target. Here, we present the design and synthesis of peptidomimetic M covalent inhibitors characterized by quinoline-based P moieties.
