Q/R site interactions with the M3 helix in GluK2 kainate receptor channels revealed by thermodynamic mutant cycles [PDF]
RNA editing at the Q/R site near the apex of the pore loop of AMPA and kainate receptors controls a diverse array of channel properties, including ion selectivity and unitary conductance and susceptibility to inhibition by polyamines and cis-unsaturated ...

Pharmaceutically relevant (hetero)cyclic compounds and natural products from lignin-derived monomers:Present and perspectives [PDF]
Lignin, the richest source of renewable aromatics on the planet, is an intriguing raw material for the construction of value-added aromatics. In the past decade, much progress has been made regarding the development of efficient lignin depolymerization ...

Abstract Background and Purpose Sex‐dependent vascular effects of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels and sex dimorphism in migraine are not yet fully characterized. We investigated the differential vasoactive effects of TRP ankyrin 1 (TRPA1), TRP melastatin 3 (TRPM3) and TRP vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) channels, their pharmacological mechanism(s), and

Rigidity versus flexibility: is this an issue in S1 (sigma-1) receptor ligand affinity and activity? [PDF]
A set of stereoisomeric 2,5-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octanes 14 and 15 was prepared in a chiral-pool synthesis starting from (S)- or (R)-aspartate. The key step in the synthesis was a Dieckmann-analogous cyclization of (dioxopiperazinyl)acetates 8, which ...

This review presents an analysis of ten recent total syntheses of cephalotaxine‐type alkaloids published between 2021 and 2024. The structural diversification strategies developed during this period are described. Additionally, a new structural classification system for this alkaloid class is proposed.

Phenol (bio)isosteres in drug design and development
This review explores the pivotal role of phenol bioisosteres in drug design, highlighting their potential to overcome the limitations of phenolic compounds, such as poor bioavailability and rapid metabolism. By examining diverse bioisosteric replacements, from benzimidazolones to quinolinones, it is demonstrated how these modifications enhance drug ...

Optimized psilocybin production in tryptophan catabolism‐repressed fungi
Here, we developed an in vivo psilocybin production chassis, based on repression of l‐tryptophan catabolism. By genome mining, we identified two aminotransferase ARO8/9 orthologs in Aspergillus nidulans involved in l‐tryptophan catabolism. Double deletion of the aminotransferase genes aroH1 and aroH2 resulted in a 10‐fold increased psilocybin ...
