High temperature requirement A serine proteases (HTRA) are ubiquitously expressed and participate in protein quality control and cellular stress responses. They are linked to several clinical illnesses, including bacterial infection, cancer, age-related macular degeneration, and neurodegenerative diseases. In addition, several recent studies have revealed HTRAs as important biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets, necessitating the development of an effective detection method to evaluate their functional states in various disease models. We developed a new series of HTRA-targeting activity-based probes with enhanced subtype selectivity and reactivity. In conjunction with our previously developed tetrapeptide probes, we established the structure-activity relationship of the new probes for different HTRA subtypes. Our probes are cell-permeable and have potent inhibitory effects against HTRA1 and HTRA2, making them valuable for identifying and validating HTRAs as an important biomarker.

The synthetic approach based on a sequence of Buchwald-Hartwig cross-coupling and annulation through intramolecular oxidative cyclodehydrogenation has been used for the construction of novel 4-alkyl-4-thieno[2',3':4,5]pyrrolo[2,3-]quinoxaline derivatives. For the first time, these polycyclic compounds were evaluated for antimycobacterial activity, including extensively drug-resistant strains. A reasonable bacteriostatic effect against HRv was demonstrated.

cyclic lipopeptides (CLP), part of the three main families-surfactins, iturins, and fengycins-are secondary metabolites with a unique chemical structure that includes both peptide and lipid components. Being amphiphilic compounds, CLPs exhibit antimicrobial activity in vitro, damaging the membranes of microorganisms. However, the concentrations of CLPs used in vitro are difficult to achieve in natural conditions.

Monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) inhibitors are widely used as part of combination drug therapy for Parkinson's disease. As demonstrated in both in vitro and in vivo experiments, the monoterpenoid Prottremine and some of its derivatives exhibit high antiparkinsonian activity. In this study, the inhibitory activity of Prottremine and its derivatives (including 14 new 9-- and -derivatives) against MAO-A and MAO-B enzymes has been investigated for the first time.

Host defense antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are promising lead molecules with which to develop antibiotics against drug-resistant bacterial pathogens. Thanatin, an inducible antimicrobial peptide involved in the host defense of insects, is gaining considerable attention in the generation of novel classes of antibiotics. Thanatin or thanatin-based analog peptides are extremely potent in killing bacterial pathogens in the Enterobacteriaceae family, including drug-resistant strains of and .
