We report here the design and synthesis of a novel series of benzylamines that are potent and selective inhibitors of uPA with promising oral availability in rat. Further evaluation of one representative (ZK824859) of the new structural class showed that this compound lowered clinical scores when dosed in either acute or chronic mouse EAE models, suggesting that uPA inhibitors of this type could be useful for the treatment of multiple sclerosis.

The efficacy of JAK inhibitors in adult eosinophilic colitis with atopic dermatitis; four cases report.
Clin J Gastroenterol
December 2024
Department of Internal Medicine, Division of Gastroenterology, Kawasaki Medical School, Kurashiki City, Japan.
We herein present four cases of Eosinophilic colitis (EoC) in adult patients who were successfully treated with a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor. Case 1 is a 23-year-old female who was treated with baricitinib (BAR, 4 mg, once a day) for atopic dermatitis (AD). Colonoscopy (CS) initially did not reveal any significant abnormalities.

- * The study evaluates the effectiveness and safety of various treatments for non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA), including tumour necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi), interleukin-17 inhibitors (IL-17i), and Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKi).
- * A systematic review covered 10 randomized controlled trials with 2,418 participants, utilizing multiple databases and statistical software to analyze data on treatment efficacy and adverse events.
- * Results showed that certolizumab pegol was the most effective, followed by other treatments like golimumab and bimekizumab, with most therapies significantly improving symptoms compared to placebo; however, safety profiles varied among treatments.
Bruton tyrosine kinase promotes wound healing after myocardial infarction by inhibiting the transcription of u-PA.

Backgrounds: Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK), which is highly expressed in immune cells, plays a critical role in regulating the function of macrophages. A growing body of evidence has demonstrated that the accumulation of macrophages in cardiac tissue after myocardial infarction (MI) significantly affects wound healing and ventricular remodeling during the early phase of repair after MI. However, the role of BTK in cardiac repair post-MI, especially in macrophage-mediated repair, remains unclear.

Phosphonate analogues of α-amino acids are increasingly valued for their significant potential in medicinal chemistry. Fluorine is a "magic" element that plays a huge role in modulating the properties of organic compounds. In this work, we combined the two pharmacophores in the synthesis of three series of new α-aminophosphonates.

Current standard management for acute severe ulcerative colitis (ASUC) involves intravenous corticosteroids (IVCS) followed by infliximab (IFX) salvage therapy. Limited data exist on the utility of UPA in ASUC, particularly in adolescents.
