The naturally occurring flavonoid ( )-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is a potent disaggregant of tau fibrils. Guided by the recent cryo-electron microscopy (cryoEM) structure of EGCG bound to fibrils of tau derived from an Alzheimer s brain donor, methods to site-specifically modify the EGCG D-ring with aminoPEGylated linkers are reported. The resultant molecules inhibit tau fibril seeding by Alzheimer s brain extracts. Formulations of aminoPEGylated EGCG conjugated to the (quasi)-brain-penetrant nanoparticle Ferumoxytol inhibit seeding by AD-tau with linker length affecting activity. The protecting groupfree catalytic cycloaddition of amino azides to mono-propargylated EGCG described here provides a blueprint for access to stable nanoparticulate forms of EGCG potentially useful as therapeutics to eliminate Alzheimer s-related tau tangles.

Influenza is a major threat to millions of people worldwide. Entry inhibitors are of particular interest for the development of novel therapeutic strategies for influenza. We have previously discovered oleanolic acid (OA) to be a mild influenza hemagglutinin (HA) inhibitor. In this work, inspired by the 3D structure of HA as a homotrimeric receptor, we designed and synthesized 15 OA trimers with different linkers and central region via the copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction. All of the OA trimers were evaluated for their antiviral activities in vitro, and 12c, 12e, 13c, and 13d were observed to exhibit robust potency (IC50 in the submicromolar range) against influenza A/WSN/33 (H1N1) virus that was stronger than that observed with oseltamivir. In addition, these compounds also displayed strong biological activity against A/Hong Kong/4801/2014 and B/Sichuan/531/2018 (BV). The results of hemagglutination inhibition assays and surface plasmon resonance binding assays suggest that these OA trimers may interrupt the interaction between the HA protein of influenza virus and the host cell sialic acid receptor, thus blocking viral entry. These findings highlight the utility of multivalent OA conjugates to enhance the ligand-target interactions in anti-influenza virus drug design and are also helpful for studying antiviral drugs derived from natural products.

Paragraph 0030; 0034; 0045-0046, (2021/08/21)
The invention discloses an azo high polymer for transporting medicine to intestinal tracts and releasing the medicine as well as a preparation method and application of the azo high polymer. The azo high polymer is synthesized by taking dibromoalkane with two brominated ends, oligomeric glycol, paranitroaniline and m-hydroxybenzoic acid as main raw materials. The final structure of the azo high polymer is shown in a formula described in the specifications of the invention; in the formula, x is equal to the sum of y and z, n is equal to 2, 3, 4, 5..., m is equal to 2, 3, 4, 5...; the high polymer can wrap the medicine to form particles through a double emulsification method, the particles reach the intestinal tracts through oral administration, then azo bonds are cut off by bacteria living in the intestinal tracts, the medicine is released, and therefore the effect of treating intestinal diseases is achieved.

The histamine H3 receptor (H3R) is considered an attractive drug target for various neurological diseases. We here report the synthesis of UR-NR266, a novel fluorescent H3R ligand. Broad pharmacological characterization revealed UR-NR266 as a sub-nanomolar compound at the H3R with an exceptional selectivity profile within the histamine receptor family. The presented neutral antagonist showed fast association to its target and complete dissociation in kinetic binding studies. Detailed characterization of standard H3R ligands in NanoBRET competition binding using UR-NR266 highlights its value as a versatile pharmacological tool to analyze future H3R ligands. The low nonspecific binding observed in all experiments could also be verified in TIRF and confocal microscopy. This fluorescent probe allows the highly specific analysis of native H3R in various assays ranging from optical high throughput technologies to biophysical analyses and single-molecule studies in its natural environment. An off-target screening at 14 receptors revealed UR-NR266 as a selective compound.
