2-substitued-benzopyrimidinones 2 were synthesized in high to excellent yields in a single step via condensation of 2-aminobenzamide 1 with some aryl-aldehydes in the presence of iodine. Cyclocondensation reaction of hydrazides 3 which were obtained in two steps from benzopyrimidinones 2, with some electrophilic species such as 2,4-pentandione, 2,5-hexandione, 1-phenylbutan-1,3-dione and cyclic anyhdrides provided the new compounds 4a-c, 5a-c, 6a-c, 7a-c, 8a-c and 9a-c. The synthesized compounds were characterized by spectroscopic means. They were also evaluated for their anti-tyrosinase potential. The structure-activity relationship (SAR) was discussed on the basis of the molecular docking analysis.

Previous studies have suggested that ginsenoside Rg glycine ester derivative (RG) exhibits therapeutic potential in mitigating hypoxia. This study aimed to elucidate the potential mechanism of RG in hypoxia injury through a combined approach of metabolomics and network pharmacology. Initially, a CoCl-induced cell hypoxia model was established, and the therapeutic impact of RG on biochemical indices was evaluated.

Phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitors have shown great potential in treating Alzheimer's disease by improving memory and cognitive function. In this study, we evaluated fluspirilene, a drug commonly used to treat schizophrenia, as a potential PDE5 inhibitor using computational methods. Molecular docking revealed that fluspirilene binds strongly to PDE5, supported by hydrophobic and aromatic interactions.
