There is an urgent need for structurally novel anti-norovirus agents. In this study, we describe the synthesis, anti-norovirus activity, and structure-activity relationship (SAR) of a series of heterocyclic carboxamide derivatives. Heterocyclic carboxamide 1 (50% effective concentration (EC50)=37 µM) was identified by our screening campaign using the cytopathic effect reduction assay. Initial SAR studies suggested the importance of halogen substituents on the heterocyclic scaffold and identified 3,5-di-boromo-thiophene derivative 2j (EC50=24 µM) and 4,6-di-fluoro-benzothiazole derivative 3j (EC50=5.6 µM) as more potent inhibitors than 1. Moreover, their hybrid compound, 3,5-di-bromo-thiophen-4,6-di-fluoro-benzothiazole 4b, showed the most potent anti-norovirus activity with a EC50 value of 0.53 µM (70-fold more potent than 1). Further investigation suggested that 4b might inhibit intracellular viral replication or the late stage of viral infection.

Bis-1,2,4-triazine ligands are amongst the most promising soft N-donor ligands for the partitioning of trivalent actinides from trivalent lanthanides; a key separation proposed in the future reprocessing of spent nuclear fuels. In an effort to improve the extraction properties of these benchmark ligands, we propose herein a general ligand design approach that is inspired by the field of drug discovery, and we apply it to a new class of ligands in which the bidentate 3-(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazine unit of the benchmark ligands is replaced by a bidentate 1,2,4-triazine-3-carboxamide unit. A series of nine novel ligands were synthesized by reactions of readily available ethyl 1,2,4-triazine-3-carboxylate building blocks with different polyamine cores and evaluated for their ability to extract and separate Am(III) and Cm(III) from Eu(III).

The acquisition of multidrug resistance (MDR) to chemotherapy is a major obstacle to successful cancer treatment. Aiming to improve the potency of anthraquinone-derived antitumor compounds against MDR cancer cells, we employed a rational design approach to develop new heteroarene-fused anthraquinones. Shifting the carboxamide group in the naphtho[2,3-f]indole scaffold from the 3-position to 2 increased the lipophilicity and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) binding of the derivatives, potentially enhancing their ability to circumvent P-gp-mediated MDR.

Occupational medicamentose-like dermatitis due to trichloroethylene (OMDT) represents a critical clinical issue, with patients frequently experiencing multi-organ damage, including renal impairment. The underlying mechanisms, however, remain elusive. This study investigated how trichloroethylene (TCE) sensitization-induced tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) deposition in renal vascular endothelial cells affects apoptosis and its underlying mechanisms.

Inhibition of AP-2-associated protein kinase 1 (AAK1) has been shown to be a promising avenue for the development of broad-spectrum antiviral agents. On a previously described AAK1 inhibitor based on a pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine scaffold, the concept of isosterism was applied, by replacing a carboxamide linker by various five-membered heterocycles. It led to the discovery of a novel series of AAK1 inhibitors with IC values in the low nM range, that also displayed antiviral activity against the dengue virus and Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus.
