Ten derivatives of 4-((1,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazin-1-yl)methyl)benzimida-mide (I-1∼I-2, II-1∼II-8) were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their inhibitory effect on human thrombin. Compound II-7 (IC=82.8nM), which showed the strongest thrombin inhibitory activity among the tested compounds, was chosen as the lead compound, and ten carbamate derivatives (II-9a∼II-13a, II-9b∼II-12b, II-14) were prepared and evaluated for their anticoagulant activity. The results indicate that most of the tested compounds exhibit a certain degree of inhibitory effect on thrombin-induced platelet aggregation, among which compounds II-11a (IC=8.16μM) and II-14 (IC=1.95μM) show better anti-platelet aggregation activity than the others. The in vivo experimental results in rat venous thrombosis model also demonstrate compounds II-11a and II-14 can significantly reduce thrombosis in a dose-response manner. It is worth pointing out that the enhanced potency of compound II-14 may be the synergetic effect of 2-hydroxymethyl-3,5,6-trimethylpyrazine (HTMP) and II-7 which are generated by hydrolysis in vivo.

A chemical examination of a root extract of led to the isolation and identification of 23 compounds, including oxazole-type alkaloids and isoflavonoid derivatives. Notably, three oxazole-type alkaloids (, , and ) and two isoflavonoid derivatives ( and ) were obtained from a natural source for the first time. In addition, derived 2,5-diphenyloxazoles and their derivatives were synthesized.

The study evaluated the anti-hyperlipidemic effects of myrcenol and curzerene on a high fat diet induced hyperlipidemia rat model. Thirty male albino rats were fed on a high-fat diet for four months. The HFD-induced hyperperlipidemia rats were treated with rosuvastatin (10 mg/kg), curzerene (130 mg/kg) and myrcenol (100 mg/kg) for four weeks.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a promising approach to identify new antimicrobial compounds in diverse microbial species. Here we developed an AI-based, explainable deep learning model, EvoGradient, that predicts the potency of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and virtually modifies peptide sequences to produce more potent AMPs, akin to in silico directed evolution. We applied this model to peptides encoded in low-abundance human oral bacteria, resulting in the virtual evolution of 32 peptides into potent AMPs.

Habitual consumption of low-calorie sweeteners (LCS) during juvenile-adolescence can lead to greater sugar intake later in life. Here, we investigated if exposure to the LCS Acesulfame Potassium (Ace-K) during this critical period of development reprograms the taste system in a way that would alter hedonic responding for common dietary compounds. Results revealed that early-life LCS intake not only enhanced the avidity for a caloric sugar (fructose) when rats were in a state of caloric need, it increased acceptance of a bitterant (quinine) in Ace-K-exposed rats tested when middle-aged.

PTEN, a tumor suppressor phosphatase, regulates cellular functions by antagonizing the growth promoting PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway through the dephosphorylation of the second messenger PIP. Many preclinical cellular and animal studies have used PTEN inhibitors to highlight specific disease contexts where acute activation of PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway might offer therapeutic advantages. In the present study we have re-evaluated first-generation PTEN inhibitors, including established bisperoxo-vanadium complexes (bpVs).
