Numerous clinical conditions can lead to organ fibrosis and functional failure. There is a great need for therapies that could effectively target pathophysiological pathways involved in fibrosis. GPR40 GPR84 are G protein-coupled receptors with free fatty acid ligands associated metabolic inflammatory disorders. Although diverse physiological processes, no evidence has demonstrated the relevance of pathways. Using PBI-4050 (3-pentylbenzeneacetic sodium salt), synthetic analog medium-chain...

Imreg (Tyr1-Gly2-Gly3) is a well-known immunostimulant. However, it possesses short half-life. Stabilized analogues of were prepared by regioselective insertion in which peptide bonds at position 1,2 or 2,3 replaced thioamide linkages. This was achieved using new thioacylating agents based on thioacyl-fluoro-N-benzimidazolone. The synthesis and properties these reagents are described herein. modification enhanced significantly the half-life thioanalogues relative to blood. tested vitro T B...
A first-in-class series of low molecular weight trisubstituted triazines were synthesized and evaluated for their ability to mimic protein binding human IgG antibody. The structure−activity relationship (SAR) demonstrates that the 1,3-phenylenediamine component was essential robust activity. Twenty-two compounds, represented by lead molecule 34, displayed significant activity compared A. These compounds may prove useful treatment autoimmune disease.

Abstract Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) is the most common form of liver disease and associated with metabolic dysregulation. Although G protein-coupled receptor 84 (GPR84) has been inflammation, its role in regulation remains elusive. The aim our study was to evaluate potential PBI-4547 for treatment NAFLD validate main target receptor, GPR84. We report that a fatty acid mimetic, acting concomitantly as GPR84 antagonist GPR40/GPR120 agonist. In mouse model diet-induced obesity,...

Abstract Low‐molecular‐weight synthetic molecules 1 with the general 2‐(fluorophenylamino)‐4,6‐disubstituted 1,3,5‐triazine structure and showing anti‐inflammatory anticancer activities were explored. Structure–activity relationship studies demonstrated importance of aminopentyl chain, 3‐ or 4‐fluorophenylaniline component, presence at least one substituent, such as a tyramine moiety, attached directly to triazine ring essential for good activity. These compounds, represented by leads...
