The synthesis of 1,2,5-trisubstituted benzimidazole derivatives was carried out using liquid phase combinatorial approach using soluble polymer assisted support (PEG5000). Synthesised compounds were characterised by FTIR, ESI-MS, H NMR and C NMR. The purity of compounds was confirmed with HPLC analysis. Compounds were also docked into the binding site of human dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (hDHODH). The synthesised compounds were screened for hDHODH enzyme inhibition assay using brequinar as standard compound. The synthesised compounds demonstrated comparative biological activity. Synthesised compounds 8d and 8e demonstrated IC value of 81±2nM and 97±2nM, respectively.

3-Fluoroneuraminosyl fluorides are invaluable probes for studying the catalytic mechanism of sialidases (neuraminidases), and as sialidase inhibitors. Significantly, when a C-3 equatorial fluorine is installed on a C-4 functionalised N-acylneuraminic acid (Neu)-based template, the compounds are potent and selective inhibitors of both influenza and parainfluenza sialidases, and of virus replication. Typically, the reported syntheses of 3-fluoroneuraminosyl fluorides involve either an enzymatic or a chemical synthesis that have uncontrolled stereoselectivity in the introduction of fluorine at C-3 of Neu and consequently yield a mixture of C-3 ax and C-3 eq fluoro derivatives.

Tryptophan participates in important life activities and is involved in various metabolic processes. The indole and aromatic binuclear ring structure in tryptophan can engage in diverse interactions, including π-π, π-alkyl, hydrogen bonding, cation-π, and CH-π interactions with other side chains and protein targets. These interactions offer extensive opportunities for drug development.

This study involves the modification of humic acid with magnetite nanoparticles (Fe₃O₄ NPs) by a microwave-assisted synthesis of an absorbent with reasonable pore volume and diameter for elimination of thiophenic compounds from fuel. The magnetic nano adsorbent designated Fe3O4@HA was characterized using advanced spectroscopic techniques, while their structure and morphology were analyzed through DLS, XPS, XRD, FT-IR, TGA, FESEM-EDX, VSM, and BET-N2 techniques.

Introduction: Schistosomiasis has for many years relied on a single drug, praziquantel (PZQ) for treatment of the disease. Immense efforts have been invested in the discovery of protein kinase (PK) inhibitors; however, given that the majority of PKs are still not targeted by an inhibitor with a useful level of selectivity, there is a compelling need to expand the chemical space available for synthesizing new, potent, and selective PK inhibitors. Small-molecule inhibitors targeting the ATP pocket of the catalytic domain of PKs have the potential to become drugs devoid of (major) side effects, particularly if they bind selectively.
