Aspartate transcarbamylase initiates the de novo biosynthetic pathway for the production of the pyrimidine nucleotides, precursors of nucleic acids. This pathway is particularly active in rapidly growing cells and tissues. Thus, this enzyme has been tested as a potential target for antiproliferative drugs. In the present work, on the basis of its structural and mechanistic properties, a series of substrate analogues, including potential suicide-pseudosubstrates was synthesized and their putative inhibitory effects were tested using E. coli aspartate transcarbamylase as a model. Two of these compounds appear to be very efficient inhibitors of this enzyme.

A series of sulfonylurea compounds was designed and synthesized via introducing an alkenyl moiety into the aryl-5 position and most title compounds exhibited enhanced antifungal activities and limited herbicidal activities compared with chlorsulfuron. Then, a CoMSIA calculation for antifungal activities was carried out to establish a 3D-QSAR model in which a cross-validated q2 of 0.585 and a correlation coefficient r2 of 0.989 were obtained. The derived model revealed that hydrophobic and electrostatic fields were the two most important factors for antifungal activity. Structure optimization was performed according to the CoMSIA model and compound 9z was found to be as potent as chlorothalonil in vitro against C. cornigerum, the pathogen of the wheat sharp eyespot disease. In order to study the fungicidal mechanism, 9z was successfully docked into yeast AHAS using a flexible molecular docking method and the resulting binding pattern was similar to that of chlorimuron-ethyl, indicating that the antifungal activity of compounds 9 was probably due to the inhibition of fungal AHAS.

In our previous paper, we reported that rosmarinic acid (1) of Argusia argentea could neutralize snake venom induced hemorrhagic action. Rosmarinic acid (1) consists of two phenylpropanoids: caffeic acid (2) and 3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)lactic acid (3). In this study, we investigated the structural requirements necessary for inhibition of snake venom activity through the use of compounds, which are structurally related to rosmarinic acid (1). By examining anti-hemorrhagic activity of cinnamic acid analogs against Protobothrops flavoviridis (Habu) venom, it was revealed that the presence of the E-enoic acid moiety (-CHCH-COOH) was critical. Furthermore, among the compound tested, it was concluded that rosmarinic acid (1) (IC50 0.15 μM) was the most potent inhibitor against the venom.
