Simpler is better: Structural modifications of the chemical structure of dantrolene, previously disclosed as a repositionable drug with potential for Alzheimer's disease, allowed preparing new small molecules with multitarget activity profile. Compared to dantrolene, molecular simplification resulted in less toxic and more soluble compounds.

Abstract COVID‐19 is caused by a novel coronavirus called severe acute respiratory syndrome‐coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2). Virus cell entry is mediated through a protein‐protein interaction (PPI) between the SARS‐CoV‐2 spike protein and angiotensin‐converting enzyme 2 (ACE2).

Cell‐Based Identification of New IDO1 Modulator Chemotypes
Heme‐competitive indoleamine‐2,3‐dioxygenase (IDO1) small‐molecule modulators are under‐represented as heme displacement is delayed in in vitro assays. This limitation can be overcome by cell‐based screening as employed in this study, which revealed novel chemotypes that potently inhibit IDO1 activity and kynurenine production by competing with heme ...

Heterocyclic systems containing S/N regioselective nucleophilic competition: Facile synthesis, antitubercular and antimicrobial activity of thiohydantoins and iminothiazolidinones containing the benzo [PDF]
The required compounds N-aryl-N'-(3-chloro-2-benzo[b]thenoyl)-thioureas 1a-k were prepared by condensing 3-chloro-2-benzo[b]thenoyl chloride with different arylamines using ammonium thiocyanate, which in turn when treated with chloroacetic acid, yielded ...

Glucose-derived spiro-isoxazolines are anti-hyperglycemic agents against type 2 diabetes through glycogen phosphorylase inhibition [PDF]
International audienceGlycogen phosphorylase (GP) is a target for the treatment of hyperglycaemia in the context of type 2 diabetes. This enzyme is responsible for the depolymerization of glycogen into glucose thereby affecting the levels of glucose in ...
