The binding free energy (DG) including steric and electrostatic between the two different ligands and reverse transcriptase Non-Nucleoside Binding Pocket (NNBP) have been docked and calculated to evaluate their accommodation circumstance on a SGI work station. The DG and anti-HIV-1 activity has been correlated in order to guide further drug design, which showed that the steric binding effect dominated in the whole binding action between the compounds and reverse transcriptase (RT). The results showed that more negative DG led to higher activity of compounds.展开更多

The S-DABOs（dihydro-alkylthio-benzyl-oxopyrimidines） series and their similar skeletons have exhibited preferable activities to inhibit HIV-1 RT. In the present study, we generated field-based QSAR models using common structure alignment, which was characterized by Gaussian steric, electrostatic, hydrophobic, hydrogen bond donor, hydrogen bond acceptor and aromatic ring fields（R2 = 0.8421, RCV2 = 0.5949 for the training set, Q2 = 0.5486, Pearson-r = 0.7460 for the test set）. Docking, pocket surface and contour map analyses were carried out. Key pharmacophore features were investigated, including（i） π-π interaction with residue Tyr181, Tyr188 and Trp229, σ-π interaction with His236,（ii） hydrogen bond with residue Lys101 and halogen bond with residue Tyr188. The docking analysis and field-based QSAR models could provide reasonable guidance in the rational design of potent HIV-1 RT inhibitors.展开更多

During the optimization of our pyridinone compound 1（LAM-trans）, we found that the introduction of the N atoms in the C-4 position could dramatically improve the water solubility（7b）, whereas protonation of the piperidine N atom resulted in a decrease in its hydrophobic interaction with the binding pocket. In particular, protonation altered the orientation of the alicyclic rings in the hydrophobic pocket, thus impeding the formation of key halogen bond and eventually leading to a huge change in anti-HIV-1 RT activity. These results provided theoretical and experimental basis for the subsequent structural modification of pyridinone compounds.展开更多

Biological evaluation of their HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitory activities was performed using Nevirapine （NVP） as a reference compound. Among the series, compound 7d shows the highest reverse transcriptase inhibitory activity, which is better than Nevirapine.展开更多

Distinguishing oligoastrocytoma based on histological features alone has limitations in predicting the exact biological behavior, necessitating ancillary markers for greater specificity. In this case report, human telomerase reverse transcriptase(hT ERT) and high mobility group-A1(HMGA1); markers of proliferation and stemness, have been quantitatively analyzed in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue samples of a 34 years old patient with oligoastrocytoma. Customized florescence-based immunohistochemistry protocol with enhanced sensitivity and specificity is used in the study. The patient presented with a history of generalized seizures and his magnetic resonance imaging scans revealed infiltrative ill-defined mass lesion with calcified foci within the left frontal white matter, suggestive of glioma. He was surgically treated at our center for four consecutive clinical events. Histopathologically, the tumor was identified as oligoastrocytoma-grade Ⅱ followed by two recurrence events and final progression to grade Ⅲ. Overall survival of the patient without adjuvant therapy was more than 9 years. Glial fibrillary acidic protein, p53, Ki-67, nuclear atypia index, pre-operative neutrophillymphocyte ratio, are the other parameters assessed. Findings suggest that hT ERT and HMGA1 are linked to tumor recurrence and progression. Established markers can assist in defining precise histopathological grade in conjuction with conventional markers in clinical setup.展开更多

A convenient synthetic procedure was developed for the preparation of 1-alkyl-5-amino or 5-aminosubstituted-6-phenylethyluracils, which were synthesized in three or four steps from 6-methyluracil in good yield. The development of a one-pot reaction that simultaneously removed the benzyl protection group and reduced the nitro group greatly improved the yield of the synthesis. Compounds 1a and 1b are analogs of MKC-442, which is an efficient inhibitor of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase, 1a and 1b were tested for their inhibition of HIV-1RT, and moderate activity was found for 1a.展开更多
