A series of 2-pyridylhydrazones derived from phenyl-pyridazin-3-yl-methanones were prepared in search for potential novel antitumor agents. The stereochemistry of these compounds was established by means of NMR spectroscopy. Whereas hydrazones derived from 3-benzoylpyridazines (IC50 = 0.99-8.74 µM) inhibited the proliferation of the tumor cell lines tested, the non-fully aromatic 3-benzoylpyridazinone hydrazones (IC50 >10 µM) turned out to be inactive. Compounds E-1b (IC50 = 0.12 µM) and E-1d (IC50 = 0.18 µM) exert high cytotoxic activities in clonogenic assays involving human tumor cells of different tissue origins. In vivo application of compound E-1b (300 mg/kg/day) resulted in a 66% reduction in tumor burden.

Objective: The growing bacterial resistance towards classical antibiotics demands the development of novel approaches for the effective treatment of potentially fatal bacterial infections in humans. Proteostasis is crucial for the survival of every living cell, as several important physiological functions depend on well-regulated proteostasis. Within bacteria, the regulation of proteostasis relies on AAA+ (Adenosine 5'-triphosphatases associated with diverse cellular activities), ATPases, such as the HslVU complex (heat shock locus gene products U and V), along with other proteases.

ATPase family AAA domain-containing protein 2 (ATAD2) has been emerging as a hot anti-cancer drugable target due to its oncogenic epigenetic modification closely associated with cancer cells proliferation, apoptosis, migration and drug resistance. In this study, we design a series of theophylline derivatives as novel ATAD2 inhibitors through fragment-based screening and scaffold growth strategy. A novel potent ATAD2 inhibitor (compound is discovered with an IC value of 0.

Protein p97 is an extensively investigated AAA ATPase with various cellular activities, including cell cycle control, ubiquitin-proteasome system, autophagy, and NF-κB activation. In this study, we designed, synthesized and evaluated eight novel DBeQanalogs as potential p97 inhibitors and . In the p97 ATPase inhibition assay, compounds and showed higher potency than the known p97 inhibitors, DBeQ and CB-5083.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common digestive tract malignant tumor and is the third cancer-related death worldwide. Valosine containing protein (VCP/p97) is a member of the AAA ATPase family, plays an important role in the ubiquitin-mediated degradation of misfolded proteins. Studies have shown that p97 is overexpressed in colorectal cancer and is a potential therapeutic target.

Background: The emergence of antimalarial drug resistance encourages the search for new antimalarial agents. Mammea siamensis belongs to the Calophyllaceae family, which is a medicinal plant that is used in traditional Thai preparations. The hexane and dichloromethane extracts of this plant were found to have potent antimalarial activity.
