Focal adhesion tyrosine kinase (PTK2) is often overexpressed in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and several reports have linked PTK2 depletion and/or pharmacological inhibition to reduced tumorigenicity. However, the clinical relevance of targeting still remains be proven. Here, we present two highly selective functional proteolysis-targeting chimeras utilizing von Hippel-Lindau cereblon ligands hijack E3 ligases for degradation. BI-3663 (cereblon-based) degrades with a median DC50 30...

Abstract Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 plays a major role in drug metabolism. Its activity could be determined by non-invasive and cost-effective assays, such as breath analysis, for the personalised monitoring of response. For first time, we identify an isotopically unlabelled CYP3A4 substrate, tolterodine that leads to formation non-toxic volatile metabolite, acetone, which potentially applied monitor humans. In vitro biotransformation HepG2 cells overexpressing CYP3A4, CYP2D6 or CYP2C9 was...

Abstract Vacuoles are essential for cellular metabolism and growth the maintenance of internal turgor pressure. They sequester lytic enzymes, ions secondary metabolites that, if leaked into cytosol, could lead to cell death. Despite their pivotal roles, quality control pathways that safeguard vacuolar integrity have remained elusive in plants. Here we describe a conserved pathway is activated upon wall damage turgor-pressure-dependent manner. Cell perturbations induce distinct...

Herein we report a method for the synthesis of indazoles from readily available 2-aminomethyl-phenylamines via N–N bond-forming oxidative cyclization. Inspired by indazole formation initially observed as side product N. Coskun et al. developed robust protocol to access in all three tautomeric forms. The selectively gives various 2-substituted 2H-indazoles which are frequently used drug design, and also demonstrated its applicability less studied 3H-indazoles.

A dearomative electrophilic fluorination of 2-methylindoles is reported, delivering 3,3-difluoroindolines bearing an exomethylidene. The model substrate was synthesized on up to a 20 mmol scale and purified by practical recrystallization as crystalline bench-stable, yet reactive solid. olefin amphoteric can react both nucleophile electrophile. wide range metal-free, palladium, rhodium, copper reactions explored, forming new C–H, C–B, C–C (alkyl aryl), C–N, C–O, C–P, C–S bonds.

Abstract Colloidal drug aggregates enable the design of drug‐rich nanoparticles; however, efficacy stabilized colloidal is limited by entrapment in endo‐lysosomal pathway. Although ionizable drugs are used to elicit lysosomal escape, this approach hindered toxicity associated with phospholipidosis. It hypothesized that tuning p K a would endosomal disruption while avoiding phospholipidosis and minimizing toxicity. To test idea, 12 analogs nonionizable fulvestrant synthesized groups...

Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) inhibition is an attractive strategy for treating numerous cancers, and HDAC6 catalytic inhibitors are currently in clinical trials. The zinc-finger ubiquitin-binding domain (UBD) binds free C-terminal diglycine motifs of unanchored ubiquitin polymer chains protein aggregates, playing important role autophagy aggresome assembly. However, targeting this with small molecule antagonists remains underdeveloped avenue HDAC6-focused drug discovery. We report...

3-Aminomethylation of salicylalkylamides afforded hybrids with a Mannich base. In addition, it triggered the rotation amide bond. The observed conformational switch is driven by strong intramolecular hydrogen bonding between base and phenolic group. Crystal structure analysis reveals stabilization hybrid molecules double OH, which acts as an acceptor donor simultaneously. contain site in orthogonal spatial arrangement. bonds are persistent nonpolar solvent (e.g., chloroform). change can be...
