Twenty-five novel imidazole N-H substituted Daclatasvir (BMS-790052, DCV) analogues (8a-8y) were designed and synthesized as potential prodrugs. Structure modifications were performed in order to improve potency and pharmacokinetic (PK) properties. All target compounds were evaluated in a hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1b replicon, and the 2-oxoethyl acetate substituted compound 8t showed similar anti-HCV activity (EC50 = 0.08 nM) to that of the lead compound Daclatasvir. Moreover, the utility of prodrug 8t was demonstrated through similar exposure of the parent compound when the prodrugs were dosed in vivo. PK studies showed that prodrug 8t was an ideal candidate for a slower and sustained release form of Daclatasvir.

Glutathione (GSH) plays an important role in maintaining redox homeostasis in biological systems. Development of reliable glutathione sensors is of great significance to better understand the role of biomolecules in living cells and organisms. Based on the advantages of the photophysical properties of iridium complexes, we proposed a "turn-on" phosphorescent sensor.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on synthesizing and analyzing the structure of a compound featuring imidazolium ions as countercations, based on previously known crystal structures.
- Various techniques, including thermal stability assessments and spectral analysis, reveal differences in how the pentadentate chelator µ-EDTA interacts with copper centers in two different compounds.
- The findings highlight the impact of imidazolium ions on the magnetic properties and stability of the structures, supported by DFT calculations showing significant hydrogen bonding and stacking interactions within the trinuclear anion.

Background: Variable benefits have been reported from the adjunctive use of simvastatin and the 5HT3 receptor antagonist, ondansetron, in patients with schizophrenia. We investigated their independent efficacy and possible synergy to improve negative symptoms of schizophrenia within a single trial.
Methods: A 6-month, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with a 4-arm, 2 × 2 factorial design, in three centres in Pakistan.

The structures of three multicomponent crystals formed with imidazole-based drugs, namely metronidazole, ketoconazole and miconazole, in conjunction with trithiocyanuric acid are characterized. Each of the obtained adducts represents a different category of crystalline molecular forms: a cocrystal, a salt and a cocrystal of salt. The structural analysis revealed that in all cases, the N-H.
