Macrocycles provide an attractive modality for drug development, but generating ligands for new targets is hampered by the limited availability of large macrocycle libraries. We have established a solution-phase macrocycle synthesis strategy in which three ...

Multidisciplinary Preclinical Investigations on Three Oxamniquine Analogues as New Drug Candidates for Schistosomiasis

Ursula Röthlisberger, François Louis Mouvet

Schistosomiasis is a disease of poverty affecting millions of people. Praziquantel (PZQ), with its strengths and weaknesses, is the only treatment available. We previously reported findings on three lead compounds derived from oxamniquine (OXA), an old ant ...

Extrapolating the Fragment-Based Approach to Inorganic Drug Discovery

Paul Joseph Dyson, Lucinda Kate Batchelor

The fragment-based approach is a well-established strategy for organic drug discovery. Recent studies have shown that this approach also has considerable potential in medicinal inorganic chemistry, and yet the approach has not been formally described. Here ...

Manganese-mediated reductive amidation of esters with nitroarenes

Xile Hu, Peng Wang, Chi Wai Cheung, Ning Shen

Amides are ubiquitous molecules in nature and in synthetic chemistry. Here we report a convenient and efficient method to synthesize N-aryl amides via amidation of esters with nitroarenes. In the presence of manganese metal, this amidation proceeded smooth ...

Cytosolic delivery and characterization of monobodies interfering with SH2 domain-phosphotyrosine interactions

Nadine Eliane Schmit

Targeted cancer therapy is a very promising concept; however, small molecule inhibitors only exist for a limited number of oncoproteins and resistance development limits their clinical use. Different engineered non-antibody scaffolds are being explored to ...

A microfluidics platform for combinatorial drug screening on cancer biopsies

Christoph Merten

Screening drugs on patient biopsies from solid tumours has immense potential, but is challenging due to the small amount of available material. To address this, we present here a plug-based microfluidics platform for functional screening of drug combinatio ...

A multitarget approach to drug discovery inhibiting Mycobacterium tuberculosis PyrG and PanK

Stewart Cole

Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the etiological agent of the infectious disease tuberculosis, kills approximately 1.5 million people annually, while the spread of multidrug-resistant strains is of great global concern. Thus, continuous efforts to identify new ...

Electrostatic spray ionization from 384-well microtiter plates for mass spectrometry analysis based enzyme assay and drug metabolism screening

Hubert Girault, Liang Qiao, Tzu-En Lin, Elena Tobolkina, Xiaoqin Zhong, Yan Deng, Emna Belghith

We have realized the direct ionization of samples from wells of microtiter plates under atmospheric conditions for mass spectrometry analysis without any liquid delivery system or any additional interface. The microtiter plate is a commercially available 3 ...
