A derivative of the staurosporine aglycon (K252c), in which the lactam ring was replaced by a pyrazole moiety, was synthesized. The resulting indolopyrazolocarbazole (3) inhibited Pim isoforms 1-3 whereas it did not impair the activity of two known targets of K252c, protein kinase C isoforms α and γ. Compound 3 exhibited moderate cytotoxic activity toward human leukemia and colon carcinoma cell lines (K562 and HCT116), strongly suggesting that this new scaffold deserves further investigations for treatment of malignancies associated with Pim activity.

Impaired signaling between cyclic adenosine monophosphate response element binding protein (CREB) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the hippocampus is generally considered to be the cause of depression. The mechanisms underlying the impairment of CREB-BDNF signaling under stress conditions are largely unclear. Small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) specific peptidase 3 (SENP3) is a molecule that can regulate SUMOylation of target proteins related to synaptic plasticity.

Microglia-mediated neuroinflammation is critical in the pathogenesis of sepsis-associated encephalopathy(SAE). Identifying the key factors that inhibit microglia-mediated neuroinflammation holds promise as a potential target for preventing and treating SAE. Esketamine, a non-competitive N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, has been proposed to possess protective and therapeutic properties against neuroinflammatory disorders.

The decline of microglia in the dentate gyrus is a new phenomenon that may explain the pathogenesis of depression, and reversing this decline has an antidepressant effect. The development of strategies that restore the function of dentate gyrus microglia in under stressful conditions is becoming a new focus. Lymphocyte-activating gene-3 (LAG3) is an immune checkpoint expressed by immune cells including microglia.

Pyrazole analogues of the staurosporine aglycone K252c, in which the lactam ring was replaced by a pyrazole moiety, were synthesized. In this series, one or the other nitrogen atoms of the indolocarbazole scaffold was substituted by aminoalkyl chains, aiming at improving protein kinase inhibition as well as cellular potency toward acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell lines. Compound 19a, substituted at the N12-position by a 3-(methylamino)propyl group, showed high cellular activity in the low micromolar range toward three AML cell lines (MOLM-13, OCI-AML3 and MV4-11) with selectivity over non-cancerous cells (NRK, H9c2).

Background: Hippocampus can be divided along its longitudinal axis into dorsal and ventral parts, which play different roles in modulating the behavioral responses to stress. However, it is not clear whether the hippocampal subregions could also differently modulate the effect of antidepressant drugs. Since fluoxetine (FLX) effect on extinction of aversive memory is well known to depend on hippocampal BDNF levels, we hypothesized that the hippocampal subregions might play different roles in fluoxetine efficacy in decreasing fear response.
