BC‐11 is a covalent TMPRSS2 fragment inhibitor that impedes SARS‐CoV‐2 host cell entry
Drug repurposing has the potential to accelerate the discovery of TMPRSS2 inhibitors acting as COVID‐19 antivirals. In this regard, a low throughput screening led to the identification of BC‐11 as a covalent TMPRSS2 fragment inhibitor (IC50 = 1.44 µM), displaying significant SARS‐CoV‐2 entry inhibition (EC50 = 66 µM). Abstract Host cell entry of severe

Based on a simplified version of the morphinan scaffold, 3‐[3‐(phenalkylamino)cyclohexyl]phenol analogues were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their µ‐opioid receptor (MOR) antagonist activity in vitro and in silico. Docking studies indicate a peculiar combination of C‐1 stereochemistry and N‐substitutions as feasibly essential for MOR‐ligand ...

A new target: Bacterial sialic acid uptake inhibition is a promising strategy for the development of antibacterial drugs. In this study, we present the design, synthesis and evaluation of sialic acid 4‐piperidine and piperazine derivatives a novel compound class, which bind the SiaT from Proteus mirabilis and target a different portion of the binding ...

QUANTUM META-THEORY (Twisting the Tail of Schrödinger’s Cat) [PDF]
The problem of Schrödinger’s Cat has figured prominently in the debates about the bearing of quantum physics on our understanding of physical reality. On its basis, various theorists have maintained the quantum physical world exhibits a probabilistically

Magnetic qubits as hardware for quantum computers
We propose two potential realisations for quantum bits based on nanometre scale magnetic particles of large spin S and high anisotropy molecular clusters. In case (1) the bit-value basis states |0> and |1> are the ground and first excited spin states Sz =

The place of preservation of the false : mistakes, accidents and homonyms in the novel "Sand" by Wolfgang Herrndorf [PDF]
This paper aims to examine Wolfgang Herrndorf's novel "Sand" (2011), taking into consideration its concatenation of errors, accidents and the logic of the absurd. The first part of this investigation regards the different connotations of the desert motif

CAT(0) spaces with polynomial divergence of geodesics [PDF]
We construct a family of finite 2-complexes whose universal covers are CAT(0) and have polynomial divergence of desired degree. This answers a question of Gersten, namely whether such CAT(0) complexes exist.

Groups acting on CAT(0) cube complexes [PDF]
We show that groups satisfying Kazhdan's property (T) have no unbounded actions on finite dimensional CAT(0) cube complexes, and deduce that there is a locally CAT(-1) Riemannian manifold which is not homotopy equivalent to any finite dimensional, locally CAT(0) cube complex.
