4,5-Diarylisoxazoles are potent antiproliferative tubulin-targeting agents. Their isomeric 3,4-diaryl-5-unsubstituted isoxazoles are hardly accessible. The synthesis of 3,4-diaryl-5-unsubstituted isoxazoles 13 was designed based on a condensation of arylbenzaldehydes, arylnitromethanes, and ethoxycarbonylmethylpyridinium bromide followed by a selective one-step transformation of intermediate 3,4-diaryl-5-ethoxycarbonyl-4,5-dihydroisoxazole 2-oxides 8. The orientation of aryl rings in relation to isoxazole heterocycle was confirmed by X-ray crystallography. Targeted compounds were evaluated for antimitotic microtubule destabilizing activity using a phenotypic sea urchin embryo assay. 3-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-4-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)isoxazole 13e and 13h with a single methoxy substituent were the most potent. Compound 13e showed strong cytotoxicity in NCI60 screen with GI for NCI-H522 human lung cancer cell line of 0.023 μM.

The continued prevalence of drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) strains, particularly against first-line antitubercular (anti-TB) drugs, presents an impending public health threat that necessitates the exploration and development of New Chemical Entities (NCEs). In search of new anti-TB leads, a library of ethyl 5-(1-benzyl-1H-indol-5-yl)isoxazole-3-carboxylates were generated through a strategy of scaffold hopping from the proven isoxazole-3-carboxylate-based anti-TB pharmacophore. We evaluated their antibacterial potential against a panel of pathogenic bacteria and MtbH37Rv strains.

The goal of this work was to synthesize new compounds for anticancer evaluation as a trial to obtain new antitumor agents with higher activity and fewer side effects. Therefore, the precursor 2,2'-(1,4-phenylenebis (thiazole-4,2-diyl))bis (3-(dimethylamino)acrylonitrile) was used to synthesize various azolopyrimidine derivatives connected to the thiazole moiety. Compounds -, including pyrazolopyrimidine, triazolopyrimidine, and others, were produced by reacting enaminonitrile with different -nucleophiles.

Functional recovery from brain damage, such as stroke, is a plastic process in the brain. The excitatory glutamate -amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid receptor (AMPAR) plays a crucial role in neuronal functions, and the synaptic trafficking of AMPAR is a fundamental mechanism underlying synaptic plasticity. We recently identified a collapsin response mediator protein 2 (CRMP2)-binding compound, edonerpic maleate, which augments rehabilitative training-dependent functional recovery from brain damage by facilitating experience-driven synaptic delivery of AMPARs.

Introduction: The benefits of long-acting injectable antipsychotics have been documented in several observational studies, but data remain scarce in Latin America. This study aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of paliperidone palmitate once monthly (PP1M) on treatment adherence and relapse in the schizophrenia population followed in a government-funded mental health care facility in Colombia.
Methods: A mirror-image study was conducted.
