Despite increased understanding of the biological basis for sleep control in brain, few novel mechanisms treatment insomnia have been identified recent years. One notable exception is inhibition excitatory neuropeptides orexins A and B by design orexin receptor antagonists. Herein, we describe how efforts to understand origin poor oral pharmacokinetics a leading HTS-derived diazepane antagonist led identification compound 10 with 7-methyl substitution on core. Though displayed good potency,...

Inhibition of kinesin spindle protein (KSP) is a novel mechanism for treatment cancer with the potential to overcome limitations associated currently employed cytotoxic agents. Herein, we describe C2-hydroxymethyl dihydropyrrole KSP inhibitor (11) that circumvents hERG channel binding and poor in vivo potency, issues limited earlier compounds from our program. However, introduction group caused 11 be substrate cellular efflux by P-glycoprotein (Pgp). Utilizing knowledge garnered previous...

The hepatitis B virus (HBV) core protein is essential for HBV replication and an important target antiviral drug discovery. We report the first, to our knowledge, high-resolution crystal structure of compound bound protein. NVR-010-001-E2 can induce assembly wild-type Y132A mutant proteins thermostabilize with a Tm increase more than 10 °C. binds at dimer-dimer interface proteins, forms new interaction surface promoting protein-protein interaction, induces assembly, increases stability....

Insomnia is a common disorder that can be comorbid with other physical and psychological illnesses. Traditional management of insomnia relies on general central nervous system (CNS) suppression using GABA modulators. Many these agents fail to meet patient needs respect sleep onset, maintenance, next-day residual effects have issues related tolerance, memory disturbances, balance. Orexin neuropeptides are regulators wakefulness, orexin antagonism has been identified as novel mechanism for...

The hepatitis B virus (HBV) core protein serves multiple essential functions in the viral life cycle, and antiviral agents that target are being developed. Capsid assembly modulators (CAMs) compounds misdirect capsid assembly, resulting suppression of HBV replication virion production. Besides DNA, circulating RNA has been detected patient serum can be associated with treatment response. Here we studied effect CAMs on production extracellular using infected HepaRG cells primary human...

Abstract Silent Night : Antagonism of the orexin (or hypocretin) system has recently been identified as a novel mechanism for treatment insomnia. Herein, we describe discovery dual (OX 1 R/OX 2 R) receptor antagonist featuring 1,4‐diazepane central constraint that blocks signaling in vivo.
