The identification of novel kinase inhibitor scaffolds is highly desirable in order to develop selective kinase inhibitors. Small-molecule inhibitors of Interleukin-2-inducible T-cell kinase (Itk) that are based on the 3-aminopyridin-2-one fragment 1 have been reported. Despite derivatisation of 1 y

The importance of the ATM/Tel1 to ATR/Mec1 switch in the response to DSBs remains to be determined. Noteworthy, resection-defective S. cerevisiae cells, such as sae2Δ, exo1Δ, fun30Δ or sgs1Δ mutants, fail to turn off the checkpoint in response to an unrepaired DSB [56], [127], [128]. Moreover, the s

Another contributor for the G2/M arrest in A549 and H1299 cells might be p21WAF1/CIP1 which was up-regulated upon ovatodiolide treatment. p21WAF1/CIP1 is a common CDKs inhibitor which blocks mitotic inhibitors G2/M phase progression in various types of cancer cells (Kim et al., 2015, Liberio et al.

A high-throughput screening campaign led to the discovery of the first series of both potent and selective ATR kinase inhibitors by Vertex Pharmaceuticals (Charrier et al., 2011). One of these compounds, VE-821, was shown to be a potent ATP-competitive inhibitor of ATR with minimal cross-reactivity

The current antifungal pipeline contains several categories of compounds at different stages of development [1], [9], [10], [96]. In Table 1 we summarize the most promising antifungal molecules that are in preclinical and in clinical development. Several compounds in the pipeline are derivatives of

It has been proposed that angiotensin II (Ang II) may upregulate COX-2 expression and the subsequent vasoconstrictor prostanoids production through the activation of AT-1 receptors in vascular smooth muscle cells (Hu et al., 2002). Additionally, this peptide is also able to stimulate the generation

Interestingly, we found that co-treatment with losartan prevented the increased participation of ROS from NADPH oxidase on the contractile response to Phe observed in Hg-treated rats. Moreover, losartan also prevented the reduction in the endothelial NO modulation of this response found in treated a

Most of the identified aldose reductase inhibitors possess undesirable effects like poor pharmacokinetic properties, hypersensitivity and Steven-Johnson Syndrome [1]. However, the main side effect is the lack of selectivity relative to aldehyde reductase (ALR1, EC 1.1.1.2). ALR1 plays the important
