Isobavachalcone (IBC) is a natural prenylated chalcone with broad spectrum of pharmacological properties. In this work, we newly synthesized and investigated the antibacterial activity IBC against Gram-positive, Gram-negative mycobacterial species. was active Gram-positive bacteria, mainly Methicillin-Susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) Methicillin-Resistant (MRSA), minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values 1.56 3.12 µg/mL, respectively. On other hand, not able to act species (MIC >...

Abstract The development of efficient and environmentally friendly plant protection systems is one the major challenges for a sustainable agriculture future. Citrus canker caused by pathogen Xanthomonas citri subsp. ( X . ) affects all cultivated citrus species worldwide responsible enormous economic losses restrictions in international trade. Currently used commercial copper‐based formulations are origin contamination soil groundwater, affecting local ecosystems human health. A copper‐free...

Rheumatoid arthritis is an inflammatory autoimmune condition, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) plays important role in its pathophysiology. In vitro, (E)-N'-(3,4-dimethoxybenzylidene)-N-methylbenzohydrazide (LASSBio-1359) has exhibited anti-TNF-α properties, vivo these effects are mediated via activation of adenosine receptor. This work investigates the antinociceptive action LASSBio-1359 murine models acute chronic pain. Male mice received intraperitoneal injection then were evaluated...

LASSBio-1289 compound has been found to promote intense vasodilation and antihypertensive activity. It is an innovative compound, without structural similarities the three main classes of calcium antagonists (1,4-dihydropyridines, benzothiazepines phenylalkylamines) commonly used. A complete knowledge structure, including stereochemistry, essential lead optimization in drug discovery. For this reason, work we determined crystal structure novel vasoactive N-methyl-N-acylhydrazone derivative...

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a chronic cardiovascular disease that displays inflammatory components, which contributes to the difficulty of adequate treatment with available therapeutic arsenal. In this context, N-acylhydrazone derivative LASSBio-1359 was previously described as multitarget drug candidate able revert events associated progression PAH in animal models. However, spite having dual profile PDE4 inhibitor and adenosine A2A receptor agonist, does not present balanced...
