ABSTRACT This is the first American Fisheries Society conservation assessment of freshwater gastropods (snails) from Canada and United States by Gastropod Subcommittee (Endangered Species Committee). review covers 703 species representing 16 families 93 genera, which 67 are considered extinct, or possibly 278 endangered, 102 threatened, 73 vulnerable, 157 currently stable, 26 have uncertain taxonomic status. Of entire fauna, 74% imperiled (vulnerable, endangered) exceeds imperilment levels...

Wide-ranging exploration of analogues an ATP-competitive pyrrolopyrimidine inhibitor Akt led to the discovery clinical candidate AZD5363, which showed increased potency, reduced hERG affinity, and higher selectivity against closely related AGC kinase ROCK. This compound demonstrated good preclinical drug metabolism pharmacokinetics (DMPK) properties and, after oral dosing, pharmacodynamic knockdown phosphorylation downstream biomarkers in vivo, inhibition tumor growth a breast cancer xenograft model.
An enantiomerically pure (1-trimethylsilyl)ethyl group, constructed by a (−)-sparteine-directed enantioselective quench of laterally lithiated tertiary aromatic amide, exerts powerful thermodynamic control over the conformation adjacent amide substituent. Ortholithiation and functionalization in 6-position allows single conformer to be trapped as an diastereoisomerically atropisomer. Protodesilylation gives functionalized atropisomeric amides with stereogenic axis absolute configuration,...

A variety of analogues 1-[4-methoxy-3,5-dimethylbenzyl]-4-[3-(ethylamino)-2-pyridyl]piperazine hydrochloride (U-80493E) were synthesized and evaluated for their inhibition human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) reverse transcriptase (RT). Replacement the substituted aryl moiety with various indoles provided bis(heteroaryl)piperazines (BHAPs) that 10-100-fold more potent than U-80493E.

Recently, cyclooctylpyranone derivatives with m-carboxamide substituents (e.g. 2c) were identified as potent, nonpeptidic HIV protease inhibitors, but these compounds lacked significant antiviral activity in cell culture. Substitution of a sulfonamide group at the meta position, however, produces excellent binding affinity and activity. Guided by an iterative structure-based drug design process, we have prepared evaluated number derivatives, which are readily available via seven-step...
From a broad screening program, the 4-hydroxycoumarin phenprocoumon (I) was previously identified as lead template with HIV protease inhibitory activity.

Freshwater mussels, aquatic keystone species, are in global decline. Long life spans, sedentary lifestyles, and unique reproductive strategies involving obligate parasitic stages make unionid freshwater mussels particularly sensitive to environmental perturbations resulting from climate change. A greater understanding of the mechanisms by which closely related species differ their response thermal challenge is critical for successful conservation management practices. As such, both an acute...
