In the present study, we describe the design of different series of benzofuran-based derivatives as potential carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (CAIs). The adopted design is based on bioisosteric replacement for the p-fluorophenyl SLC-0111 tail with the lipophilic 2-methylbenzofuran or 5-bromobenzofuran tails to furnish the 2-methylbenzofuran (MBF) sulfonamides (MBFS; 9, 11 and 13) and 5-bromobenzofuran (BBF) sulfonamides (BBFS; 27a-b, 28a-b and 29a-c), respectively. Thereafter, the urea spacer was either elongated to furnish MBFS (17 and 19), and BBFS (30) series, or replaced by a carbamate one to afford MBFS (15). All the designed compounds were synthesized and evaluated for their inhibitory activities against four human (h) CA isoforms hCA I, II, IX and XII. MBFS (11b and 17) and BBFS (28b, 29a and 30) efficiently inhibited the tumor-related CA IX isoform in the single-digit nanomolar range (KIs = 8.4, 7.6, 5.5, 7.1 and 1.8 nM, respectively). In particular, MBFS 11b and BBFS 28b exhibited good selectivity toward hCA IX isoform over the main off-target hCA II isoform (S.I. = 26.4 and 58.9, respectively). As a consequence, 11b and 28b were examined for their anticancer and pro-apoptotic activities toward MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cancer cell lines.A novel series of dimethylamino chalcone-O-alkylamines derivatives was designed and synthesized as multifunctional agents for the treatment of AD. All the target compounds exhibited significant abilities to inhibit and disaggregate Aβ aggregation, and acted as potential selective AChE inhibitors, biometal chelators and selective MAO-B inhibitors. Among these compounds, compound TM-6 showed the greatest inhibitory activity against self-induced Aβ aggregation (IC50 = 0.88 μM) and well disaggregation ability toward self-induced Aβ aggregation (95.1%, 25 μM), the TEM images, molecular docking study and molecular dynamics simulations provided reasonable explanation for its high efficiency, and it was also found to be a remarkable antioxidant (ORAC-FL values of 2.1eq.), the best AChE inhibitor (IC50 = 0.13 μM) and MAO-B inhibitor (IC50 = 1.0 μM), as well as a good neuroprotectant. UV-visual spectrometry and ThT fluorescence assay revealed that compound TM-6 was not only a good biometal chelator by inhibiting Cu2+-induced Aβ aggregation (95.3%, 25 μM) but also could disassemble the well-structured Aβ fibrils (88.1%, 25 μM). Further, TM-6 could cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in vitro. More importantly, compound TM-6 did not show any acute toxicity in mice at doses of up to 1000 mg/kg and improved scopolamine-induced memory impairment. Taken together, these data indicated that TM-6, an excellent balanced multifunctional inhibitor, was a potential lead compound for the treatment of AD.P2Y14 nucleotide receptor plays important roles in series of physiological and pathologic events especially associated with immune and inflammation. Based on the 3-amide benzoic acid scaffold reported by our group previously, a series of 5-aryl-3-amide benzoic acid derivatives were designed as novel P2Y14 antagonists with improved pharmacokinetic properties. Among which compound 11m showed most potent P2Y14 antagonizing activity with an IC50 value of 2.18 nM, furnishing greatly improved water solubility and bioavailability compared with PPTN. In MSU-induced acute gouty arthritis model in mice, 11m exerted promising in vivo efficacy in alleviating mice paw swelling and inflammatory infiltration. Mechanistically, compound 11m notably blocked pyroptosis of macrophages through inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome activation. This work may contribute to the identification of potential therapeutic agents to intervene in acute gouty arthritis.Kinetoplastid parasites are the causative agents of neglected tropical diseases with an unmet medical need. These parasites are unable to synthesize the purine ring de novo, and therefore rely on purine salvage to meet their purine demand. Evaluating purine nucleoside analogs is therefore an attractive strategy to identify antikinetoplastid agents. Several anti-Trypanosoma cruzi and anti-Trypanosoma brucei 7-deazapurine nucleosides were previously discovered, with the removal of the 3'-hydroxyl group resulting in a significant boost in activity. In this work we therefore decided to assess the effect of the introduction of a 3'-fluoro substituent in 7-deazapurine nucleosides on the anti-kinetoplastid activities. Hence, we synthesized two series of 3'-deoxy-3'-fluororibofuranosyl and 3'-deoxy-3'-fluoroxylofuranosyl nucleosides comprising 7-deazaadenine and -hypoxanthine bases and assayed these for antiparasitic activity. Several analogs with potent activity against T. cruzi and T. PKI-587 supplier brucei were discovered, indicating that a fluorine atom in the 3'-position is a promising modification for the discovery of antiparasitic nucleosides.A consecutive crash consists of a primary crash and one or more secondary crashes that occur subsequently in a short period of time within a certain distance. It often affects a relatively large area of road space and the traffic disruption created can be difficult for traffic managers to control and resolve. This study identifies the factors delineating a primary crash that results in secondary crashes within a minute from a regular crash that does not result in any secondary crashes. Random-effects, random-parameter and two-level binary logistic regression models are applied to data collected on 8779 crashes on the freeway network of the Guizhou Province, China in 2018, of which 299 are consecutive crashes. According to the AIC values, the two-level logistic model outperforms the other two models. Rear-end primary crashes have a significant random effect varying across road segments on the occurrence of consecutive crashes. Various crash types (rear-end, roll-over and side-swipe), tunnel crash and foggy weather are positively associated with the possibility to cause subsequent consecutive crashes, whereas single-vehicle crash, truck involvement and the time periods with poorer natural lighting are less likely to incur consecutive crashes. Recommendations are provided to minimize the possibility of the occurrence of consecutive crashes on a freeway.
