A series of substituted styryl-acrylonitriles was designed and synthesized. The new compounds, called tyrenes, were tested for the ability to inhibit acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) cancer cell growth, as well as on their toxicity to normal bone marrow (NBM) cells. The results showed that 3,4-dihydroxystyryl- acrylonitriles, in particular CR-4, revealed great potency as antitumor agents, and also exhibited low toxicity to normal cells. The effectiveness of these compounds with extended conjugation may be due to their possible functioning as reactive Michael acceptors.
Discovery and structure-activity relationships of small molecules that block the human immunoglobulin G-human neonatal Fc receptor (hIgG-hFcRn) protein-protein interaction

The neonatal Fc receptor, FcRn, prolongs the half-life of IgG in the serum and represents a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of autoimmune disease. Small molecules that block the protein-protein interactions of human IgG-human FcRn may lower pathogenic autoantibodies and provide effective treatment. A novel class of quinoxalines has been discovered as antagonists of the IgG:FcRn protein-protein interaction through optimization of a hit derived from a virtual ligand-based screen.
