Tethering the N6-substituents of N6-substituted adenosines to N1 has resulted in a series of conformationally restricted adenosine analogues. The resultant diimidazo[1,2-c:4',5'-e]pyrimidines were shown to be adenosine A1 selective.

Conformationally Restricted Macrocycles as Improved FKBP51 Inhibitors Enabled by Systematic Linker Derivatization.
Angew Chem Int Ed Engl
January 2025
Darmstadt University of Technology: Technische Universitat Darmstadt, Clemens-Schöpf-Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry, Alarich-Weiss-Strasse 4, 64287, Darmstadt, GERMANY.
Macrocycles are increasingly considered as promising modalities to target challenging intracellular proteins. However, strategies for transitioning from active linear starting points to improved macrocycles are still underdeveloped. Here we explored the derivatization of linkers as an approach for macrocycle optimization.

The intrinsically disordered carboxy-terminal domain (CTD) of the largest subunit of RNA Polymerase II (RNAPII) consists of multiple tandem repeats of the consensus heptapeptide Y1-S2-P3-T4-S5-P6-S7. The CTD promotes liquid-liquid phase-separation (LLPS) of RNAPII in vivo. However, understanding the role of the conserved heptad residues in LLPS is hampered by the lack of direct biochemical characterization of the CTD.

Article Synopsis
- Csp-rich N-heterocycles are gaining attention in drug discovery due to their unique structure and spatial orientation, surpassing traditional aromatic compounds.
- A new cobalt-catalyzed alkylarylation method allows for the efficient creation of diverse Csp-rich N-hetero(spiro)cycles using simple conditions, achieving over 70 different structures.
- The methodology shows great promise for medicinal chemistry, as it offers broad applicability with good compatibility for functional groups and potential for developing pharmaceutically active molecules.
Asymmetric Dynamics Drive Catalytic Activation of the Hsp90 Chaperone.

The Hsp90 chaperone is an ATPase enzyme composed of two copies of a three-domain subunit. Hsp90 stabilizes and activates a diverse array of regulatory proteins. Substrates are bound and released by the middle domain through a clamping cycle involving conformational transitions between a dynamic open state and a compact conformationally restricted closed state.

Neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation is a unique self-defense mechanism of neutrophils; however, it is also involved in many diseases, including atherosclerosis. Resveratrol and catechin are antioxidants with anti-atherosclerotic properties. Here, we examined the effects of resveratrol, catechin, and other related compounds on NET formation.
