Animal cells counteract oxidative stress and electrophilic attack through coordinated expression of a set detoxifying antioxidant enzyme genes mediated by transcription factor Nrf2.In unstressed cells, Nrf2 appears to be sequestered in the cytoplasm via association with an inhibitor protein, Keap1.Here, using yeast two-hybrid screen, human Keap1 has been identified as partner nuclear protein prothymosin ␣.The vivo vitro data indicated that ␣-Keap1 interaction is direct, highly specific,...

4-Substituted 2,4-dioxobutanoic acids inhibit influenza virus cap-dependent endonuclease (CEN) activity. Baloxavir marboxil, 4, is approved for treating infections. We describe here the synthesis and biological evaluation of active compounds, 5a–5g, their precursors (6a, 6b, 6d, 6e) with flexible bulky hydrophobic groups instead rigid polyheterocyclic moieties. In silico docking confirmed ability 5a–5g to bind site A CEN (PDB code: 6FS6) like baloxavir acid, 3. These novel compounds...

A new chemical series was identified via high-throughput screening as having antiproliferative activity on DU-145 human prostate carcinoma cell line (hit compound potency - 2.9 microM). Medicinal chemistry optimization of two peripheral diversity vectors the hit molecule, independently, led to SAR generalizations and identification 'best' moieties. The latter were merged in a single that exhibited an over 100-fold better than compound. For most potent compounds it confirmed observed not...

Based on the structure of previously identified leads, new series compounds containing 1,2,4-oxadiazole core was designed. A small, diverse library 51 including both 2-(acylamino)ethyl and 2-ureidoethyl side chains synthesized using parallel chemistry tested for antiproliferative activity against prostate cancer DU-145 cell line. Four hit – all belonging to were three confirmed as 10-20 µM inhibitors. The similarity in compounds’ periphery data obtained suggest a similar mode action these...

The divalent cation binding properties of human prothymosin α, an abundant nuclear protein involved in cell proliferation, were evaluated. By using α retardation on a weak chelating resin charged with various cations, specific Zn 2+ ions by was observed. This finding further confirmed the equilibrium dialysis analysis which demonstrated that, within micromolar range concentrations, could bind up to three zinc presence 100 m NaCl and 13 absence NaCl. Equilibrium also revealed that Ca ,...
