Uncontrolled metabolism of l-tryptophan (l-Trp) in the immune system has been recognized as a critical cellular process tolerance. Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) enzyme plays an important role local l-Trp through kynurenine pathway systems. In this regard, IDO1 emerged therapeutic target for treatment diseases that are associated with suppression like chronic infections, cancer, and others. study, we synthesized series pyridopyrimidine, pyrazolopyranopyrimidine, dipyrazolopyran...
Synthetic anion transporters have been recognized as one of the potential therapeutic agents for treatment diseases including cystic fibrosis, myotonia, and epilepsy that originate due to malfunctioning natural Cl- ion transport systems. Recent studies showed synthetic can also disrupt cellular ion-homeostasis induce apoptosis in cancer cell lines, leading a revived attention transporters. Herein, we report development conformationally controlled 1,2-diphenylethylenediamine-based...
With N-tosylhydrazone as an ambiphilic reagent, unprecedented cyclization reaction of two identical or different tosylhydrazones has been developed to access various 4,5-disubstituted-2H-triazoles under transition metal, azide, and oxidant-free conditions. A mechanistic rationalization study led the identification several electronically diverse unsaturated systems for regioselective synthesis 1- 2-substituted 1,2,3-triazoles pyrazoles.
The antibacterial agent Bio-AMS is metabolized in vivo through hydrolysis of the central acyl-sulfamide linker leading to high clearance and release a moderately cytotoxic metabolite M1. Herein, we disclose analogues designed prevent metabolism moiety steric hindrance or attenuation electrophilicity. Bio-9 was identified as metabolically stable analogue with single-digit nanomolar dissociation constant for biotin protein ligase (BPL) minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) against...
The improvement of body's own immune system is considered one the safest approaches to fight against cancer and several other diseases. Excessive catabolism essential amino acid, L-tryptophan (L-Trp) assists cells escape normal obliteration. formation disproportionate kynurenine downstream metabolites suppress T cell functions. Blocking this immunosuppressive mechanism as a promising approach cancer, neurological disorders, autoimmunity, immune-mediated Overexpression indoleamine...
Abstract A high‐yielding synthetic route for the preparation of group 9 metallaboratrane complexes [Cp*MBH(L) 2 ], 1 and ( , M=Rh, M=Ir; L=C 7 H 4 NS ) has been developed using [{Cp*MCl } ] as precursor. This method also permitted synthesis an Rh–N,S‐heterocyclic carbene complex, [(Cp*Rh)(L )(1‐benzothiazol‐2‐ylidene)] 3 ; in good yield. The reaction compound with neutral borane reagents led to isolation a novel borataallyl complex [Cp*Rh(L) B{CH C(CO Me)}] ). Compound features rare η...
We describe a novel class of amphiphiles with squaramide moiety as phosphate bioisostere. Most synthesized squaramide-based have the favorable physicochemical properties lipids, such as: formation stable liposomes or giant unilamellar vesicles in aqueous solution, high phase-transition temperature, low vesicle leakage and phospholipase resistance properties.
An unusual transformation of indoles to pyrazoles via an aromatic ring-opening strategy has been developed. The salient feature this involves the C2–N1 bond opening and concomitant cyclization reaction C2═C3 indole moiety with tosylhydrazone, which proceeds under transition-metal ligand free conditions. This functionalization provides a wide scope differently substituted pyrazoles.

Further, in attempt to...
Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) is considered as an important therapeutic target for the treatment of cancer, chronic infections and other diseases that are associated with immune suppression. Recent developments in understanding catalytic mechanism IDO1 enzyme revealed conversion l-tryptophan (l-Trp) to N-formylkynurenine proceeded through epoxide intermediate state. Accordingly, we synthesized a series 3-substituted oxindoles from l-Trp, tryptamine isatin. Compounds C3-substituted...
