We report the discovery and structure-activity relationship of 2,6-disubstituted pyrazines, which are potent and selective CK2 inhibitors. Lead compound 1 was identified, and derivatives were prepared to develop potent inhibitory activity. As a result, we obtained compound 7, which was the smallest unit that retained potency. Then, introducing an aminoalkyl group at the 6-position of the indazole ring resulted in improved efficacy in both enzymatic and cell-based CK2 inhibition assays. Moreover, compound 13 showed selectivity against other kinases and in vivo efficacy in a rat nephritis model. These results show that 2,6-disubstituted pyrazines have potential as therapeutic agents for nephritis.

Background: Acute lung injury (ALI) is a disordered pulmonary disease characterized by acute respiratory insufficiency with tachypnea, cyanosis refractory to oxygen and diffuse alveolar infiltrates. Despite increased research into ALI, current clinical treatments lack effectiveness. Tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) has shown potential in ALI treatment, and understanding its effects on the pulmonary microenvironment and its underlying mechanisms is imperative.

Background: Nonunion following a long bone fracture has gained a lot of attention due to the dreadful impact on the life quality of tremendous patients. Recent data have demonstrated the important involvement of angiogenesis in improving fracture healing. Tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) is an active component of Chinese herbal medicine with various biological activities including pro-angiogenesis property.

In the last decades fungal infections became a major threat to human health having an unacceptably occurrence, a high rate of mortality and the number of patients at risk for these infections continue to increase every year. An effective, modern and very useful strategy in antifungal therapy is represented by the use of chimeric and hybrid drugs, most of them being with azaheterocycle skeleton. In this review, we present an overview from the last five years of the most representative achievements in the field of chimeric and hybrid diazine derivatives with antifungal properties.

Purpose: STING (stimulator of interferon genes) is involved in viral and bacterial defense through interferon pathway and innate immunity. Increased susceptibility to infection is a common manifestation of multiple myeloma (MM). Thus, we aimed to explore the clinical significance and possible mechanism of STING in MM.
