Summary: A new series of 4-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl)pyrimidin-2-amine linked sulfonamide derivatives were designed and synthesized based on established V600EBRAF inhibitors. Among them, 12e, 12i, and 12l showed the strongest inhibitory activity against V600EBRAF, with 12l having the lowest IC50 of 0.49 μM. Further studies revealed that 12e exhibited significant growth inhibition against multiple cancer cell lines and warrants further investigation into its effect on cell cycle progression. Additionally, virtual docking studies provided insights into the binding modes of vemurafenib and the synthesized compounds.

Summary: Melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) is activated by alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) and plays crucial roles in maintaining skin homeostasis, anti-inflammatory effects, and tissue fibrosis suppression. The discovery of N-(1-benzyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)amide derivative 9g as a potent MC1R agonist with good metabolic stability is a significant advancement in the search for oral nonpeptide MC1R agonists.

Summary: A method for the synthesis of 2-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)-4H-chromen-4-one derivatives (IMCMs) was developed through a one-pot cascade reaction, involving various reactions such as 1,2-addition, Michael reaction, ring-closing, tautomerization, ring-opening, and [3 + 2] cyclization. This strategy not only enabled the synthesis of functionalized imidazoles (IMCMs), but also the synthesis of useful enamine building blocks, making it suitable for combinatorial and parallel syntheses of IMCMs.

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 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.
