Background/aim: To discover new 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) inhibitors applicable to inflammation-related skin disease, we identified and examined antiinflammatory properties of a novel 5-LO inhibitor, KR-33749, in vitro and in vivo.
Methods: 5-LO enzyme activity was assayed using insect cell lysates overexpressing rat 5-LO. The leukotriene B(4) (LTB(4)) level was assayed in rat basophilic leukemia (RBL-1) cell line. Mouse ear edema was induced by topical application of arachidonic acid. Atopic dermatitis-like skin lesion was induced by topical application of 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (DNCB) to NC/Nga mice.
Results: KR-33749 inhibited 5-LO activity with an IC(50) value of 70.5 +/- 6.0 nmol/l in parallel with LTB(4) inhibition in RBL-1 cells. The compound exhibited a >1,000-fold selectivity against 12-LO and 15-LO. KR-33749 showed in vivo protective effects against arachidonic acid-induced ear edema and DNCB-induced atopic dermatitis-like symptoms in NC/Nga mice.
Conclusion: Our results show that KR-33749, a new 5-LO inhibitor exhibits potent antiinflammatory activities in vitro as well as in vivo.

The P2YR is activated by UDP and UDP glucose and is involved in many human inflammatory diseases. Based on the molecular docking analysis of currently reported P2YR antagonists and the crystallographic overlap study between PPTN and compound , a series of 3-substituted 5-amidobenzoate derivatives were designed, synthesized, and identified as promising P2YR antagonists. The optimal compound (methyl 3-(1-benzo[]imidazol-2-yl)-5-(2-(-tolyl) acetamido)benzoate, IC = 0.

In this paper, a series of novel quinazoline-4(3)-one-2-carbothioamide derivatives (8a-p) were designed and synthesized the Wilgerodt-Kindler reaction between 2-methylquinazoline-4-one 10 and amines using S/DMSO as the oxidizing system. Their characteristics were confirmed by IR, NMR, HRMS spectra, and their melting point. These novel derivatives (8a-p) were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting NO production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated RAW 264.

Introduction: Ulcerative colitis (UC), a form of inflammatory irritable bowel disease, is characterized by a recurrent and persistent nonspecific inflammatory response. Polydatin (PD), a natural stilbenoid polyphenol with potent properties, exhibits unexpected beneficial effects beyond its well-documented anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. In this study, we presented evidence that PD confers protection against dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced ulcerative colitis.

The Asian Citrus Psyllid (ACP), Diaphorina citri, severely threatens citrus production worldwide by transmitting the greening (= Huanglongbing)-causing bacterium Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus. There is growing evidence that the push-pull strategy is suitable to partially mitigate HLB by repelling ACP with transgenic plants engineered to produce repellents and attracting the vector to plants with a minimal disease transmission rate. Species that pull ACP away from commercial citrus plants have been identified, and transgenic plants that repel ACP have been developed.

The cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of the interferon genes (STING) pathway plays a key role in triggering interferon and inflammatory responses against microbial invasion or tumor. However, aberrant activation of the cGAS-STING pathway is associated with a variety of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, and thus inhibition of STING is regarded as a potential new approach to treating these diseases. Herein, we report a series of novel indolyl-urea derivatives as STING inhibitors.
