The discovery and characterization of novel naphthyridine derivatives with selective α5-GABAR negative allosteric modulator (NAM) activity are disclosed. Utilizing a scaffold-hopping strategy, fused [6 + 6] bicyclic scaffolds were designed and synthesized. Among these, 1,6-naphthyridinones were identified as potent and selective α5-GABAR NAMs with metabolic stability, cardiac safety, and beneficial intellectual property (IP) issues. Relocation of the oxo acceptor function and subsequent modulation of the physicochemical properties resulted in novel 1,6-naphthyridines with improved profile, combining good potency, selectivity, ADME, and safety properties. Besides this, compound , having the most balanced profile, provided in vivo proof of concept (POC) for the new scaffold in two animal models of cognitive impairment associated with schizophrenia (CIAS).

This study explores the nonlinear optical (NLO) and photophysical properties of newly designed naphthyridine derivatives by density functional theory (DFT). The first hyperpolarizability (β), a key indicator of NLO activity, varies significantly depending on the substituent groups. N-substituted compounds (IUB-N series) generally show lower β values, while compounds with electron donor/acceptor groups (IUB-P series) demonstrate a broader range, with IUB-A-02 achieving the highest β value of 16,362 a.

Herein we describe the synthesis and rearrangement of 1,3-diamino-2,7-naphthyridines and 1-amino-3-oxo-2,7-naphthyridines. In the case of 1,3-diamino-2,7-naphthyridines, it was found that the rearrangement reaction was influenced by both the substituent at the 7th position of the 2,7-naphthyridine ring and by the nature of the cyclic amine at the 1st position. The influence was mainly steric.

- The text reviews recent advancements in the synthesis and biological uses of enoxacin (ENX), a type of fluoroquinolone antibiotic known for its chemical structure and medicinal properties.
- It discusses how modifications to the ENX structure can change its properties, enabling it to serve not just as an antibiotic but also as a potential anticancer and antiviral agent.
- The review outlines various effective methods for synthesizing ENX and its derivatives, emphasizing their therapeutic potential and the importance of accessible, reproducible chemical techniques in developing these compounds.
Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonists in Heart Failure: An Update.

Spironolactone, a steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA), has been used to treat patients with heart failure (HF) for more than half a century. Spironolactone improved outcomes in patients with severely symptomatic HF with reduced ejection fraction, and later, eplerenone expanded the benefits to patients with mildly symptomatic HF with reduced ejection fraction and myocardial infarction complicated by HF. Spironolactone reduced HF events in some patients with HF with preserved ejection fraction, but the results were not generalizable to all patients with HF with preserved ejection fraction.

Olfactory behavior is highly plastic, and the olfactory tubercle (OT), a component of the olfactory cortex and ventral striatum, includes anteromedial (amOT) and lateral (lOT) domains with roles in attractive and aversive olfactory behavioral learning, respectively. However, the underlying properties of synaptic plasticity in these domains are incompletely understood. Synaptic plasticity is regulated by multiple signals including synaptic inputs and neuromodulators.
