Microwave-assisted synthesis, spectroscopic characterization, and biological evaluation of fused thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine...

Published in Molecular diversity

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a transmembrane protein tyrosine kinase that is usually overexpressed in many types of cancers. In the present study, an effort was done in synthesis of new 3,4-diaminothieno[2,3-b] thiophene-2,5-dicarbonitrile derivatives 2-8, assisted by a microwave device. Different spectroscopic instruments were used f...

Exploration of Pyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidines as Antagonists of the Human Chemokine Receptor CXCR2

Upregulated CXCR2 signalling is found in numerous inflammatory, autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases, as well as in cancer. Consequently, CXCR2 antagonism is a promising therapeutic strategy for treatment of these disorders. We previously identified, via scaffold hopping, a pyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidine analogue as a promising CXCR2 antagonist with ...

Development of novel S-N3-DABO derivatives as potent non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors with improved poten...

Following on our initial discovery of S-CN-DABOs as non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs), a series of novel S-N3-DABO derivatives F1-F31 were developed by substituting the cyano group of S-CN-DABOs with azide group. Some of these compounds were conferred significantly increased potency against wild-type HIV-1 and clinically obse...

Disubstituted pyrimidine-5-carboxamide derivatives as novel HIV-1 NNRTIs: Crystallographic overlay-based molecular desig...

Herein, via crystallographic overlay-based molecular hybridization strategy, a series of disubstituted pyrimidine-5-carboxamide derivatives were designed by introducing an amide moiety to the central core of the lead etravirine. All the newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for their anti-HIV-1 potencies in MT-4 cells using the MTT method. Mos...

Microtubule-Stabilizing 1,2,4-Triazolo[1,5‑a]pyrimidines as Candidate Therapeutics for Neurodegenerative Disease: Matche...

Microtubule (MT)-stabilizing 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines (TPDs) hold promise as candidate therapeutics for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other neurodegenerative conditions. However, depending on the choice of substituents around the TPD core, these compounds can elicit markedly different cellular phenotypes that likely arise from the interactio...

Impact of Ruxolitinib Cream on Work Productivity and Activity Impairment and Associated Indirect Costs in Patients with ...

BackgroundAtopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that can negatively impact work productivity and daily activities. Ruxolitinib cream, a Janus kinase inhibitor, demonstrated efficacy and safety in patients with atopic dermatitis in two phase III studies (TRuE-AD1 and TRuE-AD2).ObjectiveThis post hoc analysis sought to describe the...

Treatment with a JAK1/2 inhibitor ameliorates murine autoimmune cholangitis induced by IFN overexpression.

The interferon (IFN) signaling pathways are major immunological checkpoints with clinical significance in the pathogenesis of autoimmunity. We have generated a unique murine model named ARE-Del, with chronic overexpression of IFNγ, by altering IFNγ metabolism. Importantly, these mice develop an immunologic and clinical profile similar to patients w...

A phase I dose escalation, dose expansion and pharmacokinetic trial of gemcitabine and alisertib in advanced solid tumor...

PurposeAurora Kinase A (AKA) inhibition with gemcitabine represents a potentially synergistic cancer treatment strategy via mitotic catastrophe. The feasibility, safety, and preliminary efficacy of alisertib (MLN8237), an oral AKA inhibitor, with gemcitabine was evaluated in this open-label phase I trial with dose escalation and expansion.MethodsKe...

Oncogenic β-catenin stimulation of AKT2-CAD-mediated pyrimidine synthesis is targetable vulnerability in liver cancer.

CTNNB1, encoding β-catenin protein, is the most frequently altered proto-oncogene in hepatic neoplasms. In this study, we studied the significance and pathological mechanism of CTNNB1 gain-of-function mutations in hepatocarcinogenesis. Activated β-catenin not only triggered hepatic tumorigenesis but also exacerbated Tp53 deletion or hepatitis B vir...
