A series of novel N-alkyl dihydro pyrido quinoxaline derivatives were synthesized using Gould-Jacobs reaction and evaluated their antimalarial activity in vitro against chloroquine sensitive (3D7) and drug resistant (Dd2) strains of Plasmodium falciparum. Among the compounds tested, 10 compounds were more potent than their structural standard analog ciprofloxacin, including 2 derivatives 5e and 5h, which showed 3.3-7.4 times more potency than ciprofloxacin against both the parasite strains. The results are encouraging and a lead molecule may emerge which is useful alone or in combination therapy.

In recent years, the 9H-pyrido[2,3-b]indole nuclei, also named α-carboline which is found in many organic compounds such as natural products, pharmaceuticals, and materials, have intensively stimulated the research of new synthetic pathways. After a brief report published in 2015 describing novel accesses and biological applications of α-carbolines, this update reports between 2015 and 2023 on the emergence of original syntheses to this heterocyclic nucleus. Examples representing these processes are described and the biological activities of α-carbolines are mentioned when they have been prepared for therapeutic purposes.

As mimetic compounds of the natural alkaloid mackinazolinone, forty pyrido[1,2-a]thiazolo[5,4-d] pyrimidinone were designed and synthesized from a bioisosterism approach. The structure of these compounds was confirmed through analysis using H NMR, C NMR, and HRMS techniques. All the compounds were evaluated for their anticholinesterase activities and cytotoxicity on normal cells (293 T) by the Ellman method and methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) method in vitro.

USP1 has emerged as a novel and potential target for drug discovery in single therapeutic agents or combination with chemotherapy and molecular targeted therapy. In this study, based on the disclosed structure of ML323 and KSQ-4279, we designed and synthesized a series of pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7(8H)-one derivatives as potent USP1 inhibitors by cyclization strategy and the systematic structure-activity relationship exploration was conducted. The representative compounds 1k, 1m and 2d displayed excellent USP1/UAF inhibition and exhibited strong antiproliferation effect in NCI-H1299 cells.

Background: Autopsy work indicates that the widely-projecting noradrenergic pontine locus coeruleus (LC) is among the earliest regions to accumulate hyperphosphorylated tau, a neuropathological Alzheimer's disease (AD) hallmark. This early tau deposition is accompanied by a reduced density of LC projections and a reduction of norepinephrine's neuroprotective effects, potentially compromising the neuronal integrity of LC's cortical targets. Previous studies suggest that lower magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-derived LC integrity may signal cortical tissue degeneration in cognitively healthy, older individuals.

Serine-threonine protein kinases of the DYRK and CLK families regulate a variety of vital cellular functions. In particular, these enzymes phosphorylate proteins involved in pre-mRNA splicing. Targeting splicing with pharmacological DYRK/CLK inhibitors emerged as a promising anticancer strategy.
