We report that the dearomative [4 + 2] cycloaddition between 1,2-dihydro-1,2,4,5-tetrazine-3,6-diones (TETRADs) and benzenes, naphthalenes, or N-heteroaromatic compounds under visible light irradiation affords corresponding isolable cycloadducts. Several synthetic transformations including transition-metal-catalyzed allylic substitution reactions using isolated cycloadducts at room temperature above were demonstrated. Computational studies revealed retro-cycloaddition of benzene–TETRAD...

Aiming at the prediction of pleiotropic effects drugs, we have investigated multilabel classification drugs that one or more 100 different kinds activity labels. Structural feature representation each drug molecule was based on topological fragment spectra method, which proposed in our previous work. Support vector machine (SVM) used for and their classes. Multilabel carried out by a set SVM classifiers. The collective classifiers were trained with training 59 180 compounds validated another...

Clinical and experimental studies have shown that trauma combined with hemorrhage shock (T/HS) is associated myocardial contractile dysfunction. However, the initial events triggering cardiac dysfunction are not fully elucidated. Thus we tested hypothesis factors carried in intestinal (mesenteric) lymph contribute to negative inotropic effects rats subjected a laparotomy (T) plus hemorrhagic (HS; mean arterial blood pressure of 30–40 Torr for 90 min) using Langendorff isolated heart...

The discovery of a new series potent phosphodiesterase 7 (PDE7) inhibitors is described. Novel thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one hit compounds were identified from our chemical library. Preliminary modifications the performed, resulting in fragment-sized compound (10) with highly improved ligand efficiency. Compound design was guided by structure-activity relationships and computational modeling. 6-substituted derivatives thienopyrimidinone showed diminished activity enzyme selectivity....

Abstract Tetrahydroquinoline (THQ) was deemed to be a suitable scaffold for our nonsteroidal selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM) concept. We adapted the strategy of switching antagonist function cyano‐group‐containing THQ (CN‐THQ) agonist and optimized CN‐THQ as an orally available drug candidate with pharmacological ADME profiles. Based on binding mode analyses synthetic accessibility, we designed synthesized compound that possesses para ‐substituted aromatic ring attached through...

Recently, many concerns are paid for dual action drugs such as ACE/NEP inhibitors which have two different biological activities. To identify multiple active by supervised learning approach, a multi-label classification technique is required. In the present work, we investigated of antihypertensive including using support vector machines (SVMs). Biological activity data were taken from MDDR database and they employed computational trial training SVM classifiers. Structural feature...
