AVX 13616 shows the potent in vivo antibacterial activity of Avexa’s lead antibacterial candidate; particularly against drug-resistant Staphylococcus pathogens. IC50 value: 2-4 ug ml (MICs) Target: antibacterial agent AVX13616 was as active as mupirocin i
Mitochondrial release of cytochrome c triggers apoptosis via the assembly of a multimeric complex including caspase-9, Apaf-1, and other components, sometimes called the apoptosome. Library screens have identified small molecules that activate the apoptosome by binding to one or more of its components. CAY10443 is one such molecule. In a cell free, multi-component assay, it activated caspase-3 with an EC50 of 5 μM. These apoptotic activators represent therapeutic leadcompounds for the development of antitumor drugs.
Antiviral agent 8, surpassing leadcompounds crocin-1 and crocin-2, has been identified as a potent and promising candidate with enhanced antiviral activities.
5'-O-TBDMS-N2-ibu-dG is a nucleoside derivative that possesses potent anti-bovine viral diarrhea virus activity. It serves as a valuable compound for the synthesis of leadcompounds with such activity.
Jujubosides have hypnotic effect on normal rats, may be influenced by circadian rhythm and the serotonergic system may involve in the hypnotic effect of jujubosides, jujubosides may be good source of leadcompounds for novel hypnotics.
Isolupalbigenin shows promising cytotoxic effects toward HL-60 cells (IC50 4.3 ± 0.7 to 18.0 ± 1.7 uM), it also shows in vitro inhibitory activity toward human glyoxalase I. Isolupalbigenin shows two different antibacterial activities against MRSA: direct growth inhibition and intensification of methicillin sensitivity, it could lead to the development of compounds for new approaches against MRSA infection.
Trichosanatine and squamosamide, as potential candidates as leadcompounds for further study in drug development process with the PP2A- α protein. Trichosanatine can alleviate oxidized low-density lipoprotein induced endothelial cells injury via inhibiting the LOX-1 p38 MAPK pathway.
