A series of benzamide derivatives possessing potent dopamine D , serotonin 5-HT , and 5-HT receptor properties were synthesized and evaluated as potential antipsychotics. Among them, 5-(4-(4-(benzo[d]isothiazol-3-yl)piperazin-1-yl)butoxy)-N-cyclopropyl-2-fluorobenzamide (4k) held the best pharmacological profile. It not only exhibited potent and balanced activities for the D , 5-HT , and 5-HT receptors, but was also endowed with low to moderate activities for the 5-HT , H , and M receptors, suggesting a low propensity for inducing weight gain or diabetes. In animal models, compound 4k reduced phencyclidine-induced hyperactivity with a high threshold for catalepsy or muscle relaxation induction. On the basis of its robust in vitro potency and in vivo efficacy in preclinical models of schizophrenia, 4k was selected as a candidate for further development.

Lipases have catalytic capacity in various processes such as hydrolysis. Those derived from plant sources, such as linseed, offer an economical alternative. The immobilization process facilitates the recovery and reuse of lipase, providing advantages such as resistance to high temperatures and difficulties in recovering and reusing free lipases, which makes product separation difficult.

Background: Development of novel chiral antifungal agents for effective control of plant pathogens is urgently needed. In this study, a series of pyrazol-5-yl-benzamide derivatives containing chiral oxazoline moiety were rationally designed and developed based on molecular docking.
Results: The in vitro antifungal assay results indicated that compounds (rac)-4h (R = Et), (S)-4 h (R = S-Et) and (R)-4 h (R = R-Et) exhibited remarkable antifungal activities against Valsa mali with median effective concentration (EC) values of 0.

Background: The challenges associated with traditional drug screening, such as high costs and long screening times, have led to an increase in the use of single-cell isolation technologies. Small sample volumes are required for high-throughput, cell-based assays to reduce assay costs and enable rapid sample processing. Using microfluidic chips, single-cell analysis can be conducted more effectively, requiring fewer reagents and maintaining biocompatibility.

Chiral discrimination is an indispensable tool that has pivotal importance in the assignment of absolute configuration and determination of enantiomeric excess in chiral compounds. A series of enantiomerically pure -1,2-diaminocyclohexane (-DACH)-derived benzamides were first synthesized by simple chemical steps, and 14 variated derivatives have been assessed as NMR chiral solvating agents (CSAs) for discrimination of the signals of mandelic acid (MA) in H NMR analysis. The highly efficient chiral recognition of CSA on different substrates, including MAs, carboxylic acids, amino acid derivatives, and phosphoric acids (32 examples), was expanded via H, F, and P NMR spectroscopy.
