We have designed and efficiently synthesized novel 1-phenyl-6-aminouracils by replacing the chroman moiety in CX-659S, a nonsteroidal dermatologic candidate, with dimethyldihydrobenzofuranol to cancel CX-659S asymmetric center. Medicinal chemistry effort culminated in the discovery of 13d bearing a 3-methyl group at the 1-phenyl group as a promising compound. Compound 13d, having good in vitro ADME profile and moderate oral bioavailability in mice, showed potent anti-inflammatory activity against hapten-induced contact hypersensitivity reaction in mice following topical and oral administration. The effects of 13d were equipotent to that of tacrolimus or prednisolone. In addition, compound 13d, having potent hydroxyl radical-scavenging activity, showed more potent suppressive effect on substance P-induced pruritus in mice than oxatomide.

Controlling the size and morphology of supramolecular assemblies is still an enormous challenge for the development of novel functional materials. Herein, cyclometalated platinum(II) complexes were designed and used as effective theragnostic supramolecular nano agents. Benzoquinoline was used as the main C^N ligand, and the increased number of aromatic rings in the N^N ligand of Pt complexes could greatly improve lipophilicity and cytotoxicity towards cancer cells over normal cells.

This study focuses on the synthesis and structural characterization of new compounds that integrate thiazolidine-2,4-dione, acridine moiety, and an acetamide linker, aiming to leverage the synergistic effects of these pharmacophores for enhanced therapeutic potential. The newly designed molecules were efficiently synthesized through a multi-step process and subsequently transformed into their hydrochloride salts. Comprehensive spectroscopic techniques, including nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), infrared (IR) spectroscopy, and elemental analysis, were employed to determine the molecular structures of the synthesized compounds.

Medicinal mushrooms, especially species, hold immense promise for the production of a wide range of bioactive compounds with various effects. The biochemical potential of indigenous fungal strains, specific to a region, could play a critical role in the continuous search for novel strains with superior activities on a global scale. This research focused on the ethanolic (EtOH) and hot-water (HO) extracts of fruiting bodies of two wild-growing species: and with the aim of assessing their nutritional (total carbohydrate content-TCC) and mineral composition in relation to bioactive properties: antioxidant, antiproliferative and lipid-lowering.
