A series of 2,6-disubstituted 4-(2-arylethenyl)phenols with potent human neutrophil 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) inhibiting activity (IC50S in the 10(-7) M range) and weaker human platelet cyclooxygenase (CO) inhibiting activity (IC50S in the 10(-6) M range) is described. This series evolved from the chemical modification of an antiinflammatory dual CO/5-LO inhibitor, 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-[2-(3-pyridyl)ethenyl]phenol (BI-L-93 BS). The potency and selectivity for 5-LO inhibition is greatly influenced by the nature of the substituents in the 2- and 6-positions. Other structure-activity relationships that determine relative 5-LO and CO potency are discussed. In vivo activity against antigen-induced leukotriene-mediated bronchoconstriction and cell influx in guinea pigs is presented. Representatives of the series are active when administered at 30 mg/kg ip.

In this study, we reported the discovery of a novel type II c-Met/Axl inhibitor, characterized by using 4-amino-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine as a hinge region binder. Through a systematic exploration of the structure-activity relationship, based on the clinically reported c-Met inhibitor BMS-777607, we identified the optimized compound 22a. 22a exhibited remarkable potency against c-Met and Axl kinases, with IC values of 1 nM and 10 nM, respectively, and demonstrated over 100-fold selectivity to other members of the TAM subfamily.

Medicinal plants are sources of crude traditional herbal medicines that are utilized to reduce the risk of, treat, or manage diseases in most indigenous communities. This is due to their potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. It is estimated that about 80% of the population in developing countries rely on herbal traditional medicines for healthcare.

A human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-specific nanobody called 2Rs15d, containing a His3LysHis6 segment at the C-terminus, was recombinantly produced. Subsequent site-selective acylation on the C-terminally activated lysine residue allowed installation of the cytotoxin monomethyl auristatin E-functionalized cathepsin B-sensitive payload to provide a highly homogenous nanobody-drug conjugate (NBC), which demonstrated high potency and selectivity for HER2-positive breast cancer models.

Université de Reims Champagne-Ardenne, CNRS, ICMR, 51097 Reims, France.
A straightforward synthetic route towards DAB-1 scaffolded dimeric iminosugars is described here, starting from readily available bis-glycosylamines. The method allows the integration of a variety of linkages (aryl, alkyl, polyethyleneglycol chains) between both iminosugars through the choice of the bis-amine used in the first step. Moreover, an additional substituent (allyl, ethynyl) may be inserted into the structure via nucleophilic addition of an organometallic reagent to the starting bis-glycosylamine.

Botulinum toxin (BoNT), the most potent substance known to humans, likely evolved not to kill but to serve other biological purposes. While its use in cosmetic applications is well known, its medical utility has become increasingly significant due to the intricacies of its structure and function. The toxin's structural complexity enables it to target specific cellular processes with remarkable precision, making it an invaluable tool in both basic and applied biomedical research.
