The synthesis of a novel series of pyrimidin-4-yl-1H-imidazol-2-yl derivatives 7, 8, 9 and their antiproliferative activities against A375P human melanoma cell line and WM3629 cell line were described. Most compounds showed superior antiproliferative activities compared to Sorafenib, the well-known RAF inhibitor. Among them, 7a exhibited potent activities on both cell lines (IC50 = 0.62 and 4.49 mu M, respectively) and turned out to be a selective and potent CRAF inhibitor. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

Cytokine Levels in Human Vitreous in Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy

Dean F. Loporchio, Emily K. Tam, Jane Cho, Jaeyoon Chung, Gyungah R. Jun, Weiming Xia, Marissa G. Fiorello, Nicole H. Siegel, Steven Ness, Thor D. Stein, Manju L. Subramanian

Summary: This study compared the vitreous cytokine profiles of patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) to those without PDR. Novel increases in IL-15 and IL-16, along with expected VEGF, were observed in the vitreous humor of patients with PDR. Additionally, elevations of ICAM-1, VCAM-1, SAA, IL-8, and CRP were confirmed in the vitreous of PDR patients, as previously described.

Summary: This study investigated the association between stroke subtypes and COVID-19 susceptibility, and found that genes related to SARS-CoV-2 uptake/infection are associated with an increased risk of large artery stroke. These findings suggest that the higher risk of stroke observed in COVID-19 patients may be due to the viral infection itself.

Summary: Hippocampal sclerosis (HS) and transactive response DNA-binding protein with 43 kDa (TDP-43) deposits are associated with advanced age. Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a neurodegenerative disease linked to repetitive head impacts, also shows HS and TDP-43 pathology. However, the prevalence of HS in CTE, the pattern of TDP-43 pathology, and associations of HS and TDP-43 with repetitive head impacts are unknown.

Summary: This study investigates the use of polygenic risk scores (PRSs) integrated with AD brain transcriptome profiles to explain clinical and neuropathological heterogeneity in AD. The findings indicate that two gene modules (M6 and M9) associated with NPs and NFTs are linked to language and visuospatial functioning, matching clinical subtypes and brain atrophy at specific regions.

Summary: This study performed targeted high-depth sequencing and chromatin interaction analysis to characterize the 1q22 locus and identify potential causal mechanisms for cerebral small vessel diseases. The results showed that variants in SEMA4A and PMF1 genes were associated with non-lobar intracerebral hemorrhage risk. The analysis also revealed long-range chromatin interactions between the SEMA4A promoter and the PMF1 enhancer regions. Additionally, overexpression of the PMF1 gene was found to be causally related to non-lobar intracerebral hemorrhage risk.

Design and synthesis of a library of C2-substituted sulfamidoadenosines to probe bacterial permeability

Shibin Zhao, Julian Maceren, Mia Chung, Samantha Stone, Raphael Geiben, Melissa L. Boby, Bradley S. Sherborne, Derek S. Tan

Summary: Antibiotic resistance is a major threat to public health, with Gram-negative bacteria presenting unique challenges due to their low permeability and efflux pumps. Limited understanding of the chemical rules for overcoming these barriers hinders antibacterial drug discovery. Efforts to address this issue, such as screening compound libraries and using cheminformatic analysis, have led to the design of sulfamidoadenosines with diverse substituents, showing potential utility in accumulation in Escherichia coli.

Summary: This study successfully developed a short peptide mimetic as a MERS-CoV fusion inhibitor by reproducing the key recognition features of the HR2 helix. The resulting 23-mer lipopeptide showed comparable inhibitory effect to the 36-mer HR2 peptide HR2P-M2. This has important implications for developing short peptide-based antiviral agents to treat MERS-CoV infection.

Krista Jaunsleine, Linda Supe, Jana Spura, Sten van Beek, Anna Sandstrom, Jessica Olsen, Carina Halleskog, Tore Bengtsson, Ilga Mutule, Benjamin Pelcman

Summary: Beta(2)-adrenergic receptor agonists can stimulate glucose uptake by skeletal muscle cells and are therefore potential treatments for type 2 diabetes. The chirality of compounds has a significant impact on the activity of these agonists. This study found that certain synthesized compounds showed higher glucose uptake activity. These findings provide important information for the design of novel beta(2)AR agonists for T2D treatment.
