Constructing novel metal-arene complexes containing bioactive natural-product derived ligands is an important approach to further drug design.Herein,we reported two novel ruthenium(Ⅱ)-arene complexes(
The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex(PDHc)in microorganism plays a vital role in cellular metabolism and catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate and the subsequent acetylation of coenzyme A(
An interesting class of cyclic boron-containing compounds,benzoxaboroles,were first synthesized in 19571 while its medicinal usage had remained unexplored for fifty years until tavaborole(Kerydin)(Fig
To find novel pyruvate dehydrogenase complex E1 component(PHDc-E1)inhibitors as fungicides,two series of 1,3,4-thiadiazole and 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives were designed,synthesized,and evaluated for
The worldwide outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome(SARS)in 2003 had caused a high rate of mortality.Main protease(Mpro)of SARS-associated coronavirus(SARS-CoV)is an important target to discov
Aberrant epigenetic alterations of tumor suppressor genes have been recognized as a driving force in cancer.Histone deacetylases(HDACs),for example,are promising targets for cancer due to their crucia
New Delhi metallo-β-lactmase-1(NDM-1)catalyzes the hydrolysis of β-lactam antibiotics and cleaves the β-lactam ring of the molecule,conferring resistance against these medicines to bacteria.
Accelerated proliferation of cancer cells is linked to increased transcription of rDNA by RNA polymerase I(Pol I)to produce elevated levels of rRNA for ribosomal biogenesis.
