Summary: A metal-catalyst-free, organic dye-catalyzed C3-H arylation of pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-ones using visible light irradiation was developed. This simple and direct C-H functionalization approach effectively produced biologically significant C3 arylated pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one and thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one derivatives, including medicinally important endothelial cell dysfunction inhibitor and anti-inflammatory agents with good functional group tolerance. The photoinduced direct C3-H arylation approach is suitable for scale-up synthesis.

Summary: This study examines the cellular uptake and antiplasmodium activity of Pyrido[1,2-a]benzimidazoles (PBIs), synthetic antiplasmodium agents. The results show that PBIs have potent antiparasitic effects against both chloroquine-susceptible and chloroquine-resistant Plasmodium strains, with a high rate of uptake by parasite cells but limited uptake by host cells. The mechanism of cellular uptake differs from other 4-aminoquinolines.

Summary: A lenient approach for regioselective C3-H chalcogenation and thiocyanation of 4H-pyrido[1,2-a] pyrimidin-4-ones is developed using visible light photocatalysis. This method provides a wide range of functionalized derivatives with moderate to high yields. The protocol utilizes visible light as an environmentally friendly energy source, cost-effective oxidant, and easily obtainable dichalcogenides for selective C-H chalcogenation at room temperature. Additionally, a regioselective thiocyanation method for 4H-pyrido[1,2-a] pyrimidin-4-ones is also developed. Mechanistic pathways for these transformations are proposed based on light on/off and Stern-Volmer studies, as well as quantum yield calculations.

Summary: In this study, novel 4,7-disubstituted 8-methoxyquinazoline derivatives were designed as potential cytotoxic agents against cancers by inhibiting the protein-protein interactions of beta-catenin/TCF4. The most potent compound (18B) showed significant cytotoxicity, inducing apoptosis and inhibiting cell migration in HCT116 and HepG2 cells. Mechanistic studies revealed that compound (18B) downregulated the beta-catenin/TCF4 signaling pathway, protein expression, and mRNA levels of c-MYC andCyclin D1. It also exhibited cytotoxicity against primary human gallbladder cancer cells. These findings suggest that compound (18B) is a promising lead molecule for anticancer therapy targeting the beta-catenin/TCF4 signaling pathway.

Summary: In previous studies, the combination of panobinostat and bortezomib showed synergistic therapeutic activity against high-grade gliomas but resistance eventually emerged. In this study, the authors investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying the anticancer effects of panobinostat and marizomib, and identified glycolysis and the electron transport chain (ETC) as potential targets for overcoming resistance. In vivo experiments using a glycolysis and mitochondrial function inhibitor confirmed the efficacy of targeting these pathways. These findings provide new insights into treatment resistance in gliomas.
