Synthesis, Enantiomeric Resolution and Biological Evaluation of HIV Capsid Inhibition Activity for Racemic, (S)- and (R)-PF74

Molecules, 2021
PF74 is a capsid-targeting inhibitor of HIV replication that effectively perturbs the highly sensitive viral uncoating process. A lack of information regarding the optical purity (enantiomeric excess) of the single stereogenic centre of PF74 has resulted

In Silico Approach for Identification of PI3K/mTOR Dual Inhibitors for Multiple Myeloma Treatment

European Journal of Biology, 2023
Objective: Multiple myeloma is a hematologic malignancy in which targeting phosphoinositide 3 kinase (PI3K) and/or the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) individually has been shown to have anti-proliferative effects, however, inhibiting both proteins ...

Structure‐forward targeting of claudins with synthetic binders

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Claudins form the paracellular barriers between epithelial and endothelial tissues at tight junctions and are targets for molecular binders with the goal of modulating barrier permeability. Claudin‐binding molecules are relevant in drug delivery or in altering claudin interactions with disease‐causing proteins.

The Shewanella oneidensis Fic enzyme SoFic targets the switch‐I region of EF‐Tu for AMPylation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fic enzymes mediate diverse post‐translational modifications across all domains of life, including AMPylation. Prokaryotic EF‐Tu can be AMPylated and deAMPylated by the conserved Fic enzyme SoFic. Structural and biochemical approaches were used to characterize the effect of AMPylation on EF‐Tu, SoFic's enzymatic activities, and the enzyme‐target ...

The heterodimeric amino acid transporters (HAT) of the SLC7/SLC3 family: A structure−function relationships and relevance to human pathology

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Heterodimeric amino acid transporters consist of SLC7 and SLC3 family proteins arranged in a conserved structural organization. They regulate nutrient transport across cell membranes, supporting essential cellular functions. These transporters also contribute to xenobiotic/drug uptake and distribution.

Exploration of Chemical Diversity and Antitrypanosomal Activity of Some Red Sea-Derived Actinomycetes Using the OSMAC Approach Supported by LC-MS-Based Metabolomics and Molecular Modelling

Antibiotics, 2020
In the present study, we investigated the actinomycetes associated with the Red Sea-derived soft coral Sarcophyton glaucum in terms of biological and chemical diversity. Three strains were cultivated and identified to be members of genera Micromonospora,

Design, synthesis, anti-inflammatory evaluation, and molecular modelling of new coumarin-based analogs combined curcumin and other heterocycles as potential TNF-α production inhibitors via upregulating Nrf2/HO-1, downregulating AKT/mTOR signalling pathways and downregulating NF-κB in LPS induced macrophages

Journal of Enzyme Inhibition and Medicinal Chemistry, 2023
Persistent inflammation contributes to various inflammatory conditions. Inflammation-related diseases may be treated by inhibiting pro-inflammatory mediators and cytokines.
