A novel series of 1-(thiophen-2-yl)-9H-pyrido [3,4-b]indole derivatives were synthesized using DL-tryptophan as starting material. All the compounds were characterized by spectral analysis such as (1) H NMR, Mass, IR, elemental analysis and evaluated for inhibitory potency against HIV-1 replication. Among the reported analogues, compound 7g exhibited significant anti-HIV activity with EC(50) 0.53 μm and selectivity index 483; compounds 7e, 7i, and 7o displayed moderate activity with EC(50) 3.8, 3.8, and 2.8 μm and selectivity index >105, >105, and 3.85, respectively. Interestingly, compound 7g inhibited p24 antigen expression in acute HIV-1(IIIB) infected cell line C8166 with EC50 1.1 μm. In this study, we also reported the Lipinski rule of 5 parameters, predicted toxicity profile, drug-likeness, and drug score of the synthesized analogues.

Novel tertiary diarylethylamines as functionally selective agonists of the kappa opioid receptor.

Novel kappa opioid receptor (KOR) agonists that preferentially activate G-protein signaling versus β-arrestin-2 recruitment are described. Starting from a literature-reported phenol-containing diphenethylamine KOR agonist, structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies revealed replacement of the phenol with various non-hydroxylated bicyclic heteroaromatics led to tertiary diarylethylamines which retained KOR agonist activity and improved metabolic stability in human liver microsomes. Further optimizations produced compound 39, a potent activator of G-protein signaling (GTPγS EC = 14 nM, 83 % E) that did not elicit a β-arrestin-2 recruitment functional response (E < 10 %).

Ferroptosis is a novel type of programmed cell death characterized by radical-driven lipid peroxidation accumulation, which is involved in various diseases, including acute organ injury and neurodegenerative disorders. Pharmacological inhibition of ferroptosis is a promising strategy for treating these diseases. In this study, 16 benzo[b][1,4]oxazine derivatives were synthesized and assayed for their antiferroptotic activity.

Screening of the ChemDiv molecular library in cholesterol media against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) H37Rv strain identified a novel isoxazole thiophene hit as a putative Rv1625c/Cya activator with a promising in vitro activity and good pharmacokinetic properties. Twenty-nine analogs were synthesized to assess the structure-activity relationships (SAR) to further improve potency. The most notable analog was P15, which showed an intramacrophage EC = 1.

Visceral leishmaniasis is a systemic disease that affects various internal organs and represents the most severe and fatal form of leishmaniasis. Conventional treatment presents significant challenges, such as prolonged management in hospital settings, high toxicity, and an increasing growing number of cases of resistance. In previous studies, our research group demonstrated the effective and selective activity of the 2-amino-thiophene derivative SB-83 in preclinical models of cutaneous leishmaniasis.

Bacteriophage infections in bacterial cultures pose a significant challenge to industrial bioprocesses, necessitating the development of innovative antiphage solutions. This study explores the antiphage potential of indigo carmine (IC), a common FDA-approved food additive. IC demonstrated selective inactivation of DNA phages (P001, T4, T1, T7, λ) with the EC values ranging from 0.
