- A Novel Parkinson's Disease Drug Candidate with Potent Anti-neuroinflammatory Effects through the Src Signaling Pathway
-
Numerous drug treatments are available for Parkinson's disease (PD), an age-related neurodegenerative disease, but most cause serious side effects. Therefore, novel therapeutic strategies that halt disease progression and allow for long-term administration are urgently needed. Neuroinflammation critically contributes to the pathogenesis of PD. Here, we report the discovery and optimization of phloroglucinol derivatives, a novel class of anti-neuroinflammatory compounds. Structural modifications of the hit compound 3-methyl-1-(2,4,6-trihydroxyphenyl)butan-1-one produced 43 derivatives, including a preclinical candidate (compound 21), that exhibited potent in vitro anti-neuroinflammatory effects, good blood-brain barrier penetration, and desirable safety margins in mice at a median lethal dose (LD50) >5000 mg/kg. Its in vivo efficacy was demonstrated in 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)- and MPTP/probenecid (prob)-induced subacute and chronic PD models, respectively, and α-synuclein transgenic mice. Mechanistic studies revealed neuroinflammation inhibition by targeting Src/phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN)/Akt signaling might be promising. We highlighted the potential usefulness of phloroglucinol derivatives in PD treatment.

- Room temperature solvent free aza-Michael reactions over nano-cage mesoporous materials
-
An efficient highly acidic three dimensional mesoporous aluminosilicate nano-cage material Al-KIT5, exhibited excellent catalytic activity in solvent free room temperature aza-Michael reactions of amines with α,β- unsaturated carbonyl compounds to produce β-amino carbonyl compounds with 100% product selectivity in a short reaction time. The high acidity, 3D pores, and a huge space in the nano-cages materials make them attractive candidate for carrying out important organic reactions. The catalyst provide a simple, easy to handle method, and could be used to solve the problems of corrosion, toxicity, waste production, and a high cost that are being currently encountered by the conventional homogeneous catalysts.

- Fluorescent non-imidazole histamine H3 receptor ligands with nanomolar affinities
-
ω-Piperidinoalkanamine derivatives with fluorescent moieties (2-cyanoisoindol-1-yl, 7-nitrobenzofurazan-4-yl) have been synthesized starting from piperidine in three steps. The compounds display moderate to good histamine hH3 receptor affinities with Ki values ranging from 178 to 11 nM. The new compounds may act as tools for identification and understanding of the binding site on the histamine H3 receptor.
