Potato virus Y (PVY) relies on aphids and tubers to spread in the field and causes serious economic losses in the potato industry. Here, we found that pyrido[1,2-α] pyrimidinone mesoionic compounds with insecticidal activity against aphids possessed a good inhibitory effect on PVY. Among them, compound had the best inhibitory activity against PVY (EC = 104 μg/mL), even superior to that of ningnanmycin (125 μg/mL). The fluorescence and qPCR results confirmed that compound could inhibit the proliferation of PVY in . Preliminary experiments on the mechanism of action indicated that compound had good binding affinity with the coat protein (CP), which plays an essential role in aphid-PVY interactions. Molecular docking revealed that compound could bind to the pocket of CP formed by Ser52, Glu204, and Arg208. Compound had substantially lower binding affinity () values with CP (219 μM), CP (231 μM), and CP (189 μM) than those with CP (5.80 μM). A luciferase assay confirmed that mutating Ser52, Glu204, and Arg208 significantly affected the expression level of CP and further reduced virus proliferation. Therefore, the broad-spectrum activity of compound provides a unique strategy for the prevention and treatment of PVY.

Background: Recently, pyrido[2,3-] pyrimidine, triazolopyrimidine, thiazolopyrimidine, quinoline, and pyrazole derivatives have gained attention due to their diverse biological activities, including antimicrobial, antioxidant, antitubercular, antitumor, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral effects.
Objective: The synthesis of new heterocyclic compounds including 5-quinoline-pyrido[2,3-] pyrimidinone (-, , -), 6-quinoline-pyrido[2,3-]thiazolo[3,2-]pyrimidinone (, , -), 1,2,4-triazole-6-quinoline-pyrido[2,3-]thiazolo[3,2-]pyrimidinone (-), and pyrido[2,3-]thiazolo[3,2-]pyrimidine-ethyl-(pyridine)-9-thiaazabenzo[]azulenone () derivatives was performed with high yields while evaluating antimicrobial activities.
Methods: A new series of quinoline-pyrido[2,3-]thiazolo[3,2-]pyrimidine derivatives were prepared using a modern style and advanced technology, resulting in high yields of these new compounds.

SHP2 (Src homology-2-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase 2) plays an important role in cell proliferation, survival, migration by affecting RAS-ERK, PI3K-AKT, JAK-STAT signaling pathways and so on. Overexpression or gene mutation of SHP2 is closely linked with a variety of cancers, making it a potential therapeutic target for cancer disease. In this paper, 30 target compounds bearing pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one core were synthesized via two-round design strategy by means of scaffold hopping protocol.

As mimetic compounds of the natural alkaloid mackinazolinone, forty pyrido[1,2-a]thiazolo[5,4-d] pyrimidinone were designed and synthesized from a bioisosterism approach. The structure of these compounds was confirmed through analysis using H NMR, C NMR, and HRMS techniques. All the compounds were evaluated for their anticholinesterase activities and cytotoxicity on normal cells (293 T) by the Ellman method and methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) method in vitro.

Natural products as starting templates have shown historically major contribution to development of drugs. Inspired by the structure-function of an anticancer natural alkaloid Rutaecarpine, the Scaffold-hopped Acyclic Analogues of Rutaecarpine (SAAR) with 'N'-atom switch (1°-hop) and ring-opening (2°-hop) were investigated. A new synthetic route was developed for an effective access to the analogues, i.

USP1 has emerged as a novel and potential target for drug discovery in single therapeutic agents or combination with chemotherapy and molecular targeted therapy. In this study, based on the disclosed structure of ML323 and KSQ-4279, we designed and synthesized a series of pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7(8H)-one derivatives as potent USP1 inhibitors by cyclization strategy and the systematic structure-activity relationship exploration was conducted. The representative compounds 1k, 1m and 2d displayed excellent USP1/UAF inhibition and exhibited strong antiproliferation effect in NCI-H1299 cells.
