In a lead optimization effort towards NS5B NNI inhibitors, two multi-step parallel libraries were designed and successfully synthesized. Through this effort we discovered compound 9B, which achieved rigorous and delicate balance of inhibition across the common genotypes and mutants with <10 nM potency. In addition, the bicyclic compounds 9B exhibited improved FASSIF solubility over the tetracyclic compound MK-8876. This strategic approach demonstrated that, even within limited reaction scope, multi-step parallel libraries could provide access to more complex chemical space. This expedient access facilitates diverse, purpose-driven optimization of SAR and physicochemical properties.

Background: Metabolomics is a high-throughput technology that measures small molecule metabolites in cells, tissues or biofluids. Analysis of metabolomics data is a multi-step process that involves data processing, quality control and normalization, followed by statistical and bioinformatics analysis. The latter step often involves pathway analysis to aid biological interpretation of the data.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) and EV-derived microRNAs (EV-miRNAs) are emerging as promising circulating biomarkers for early detection of malignant tumors such as non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, utilization of the gold standard method of RNA detection, the reverse transcription - quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), on EV-miRNAs is hindered by laborious sample purification requirements and time-consuming multi-step procedures. Herein, we propose and demonstrate a miniaturized digital microfluidic (DMF) workstation for all-in-one EV-miRNA detection based on RT-qPCR.

Article Synopsis
- Biobased polymers like PLA and PBS can naturally degrade in specific environments, and their degradation efficiency is influenced by fiber surface properties affecting polymer accessibility.
- The study compared the degradation of PLA and PBS fibers with different cross-sections by subjecting them to hydrolysis and UV exposure, followed by laboratory tests to assess their degradation.
- Results showed PLA fibers degraded completely, while PBS fibers remained intact despite larger surface areas; this highlights that analyzing single degradation mechanisms does not accurately predict real-world material behavior.

CDK4/6 inhibitors are standard of care in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer. Treatment regimen consists of a combination with endocrine therapy, since their therapeutic efficacy as monotherapy in most clinical trials was rather limited. Thus, understanding the molecular mechanisms that underlie response to therapy might allow for the development of an improved therapy design.
