Sulfur Containing Scaffolds in Drugs: Synthesis and Application in Medicinal Chemistry
Authors: Minghao Feng, Bingqing Tang, Steven H. Liang and Xuefeng JiangThe impact of the development of sulfur therapeutics is instrumental to the evolution of the pharmaceutical industry. Sulfur-derived functional groups can be found in a broad range of pharmaceuticals and natural products. For centuries, sulfur continues to maintain its status as the dominating heteroatom integrated into a set of 362 sulfur-containing FDA approved drugs (besides oxygen or nitrogen) through the pres Read More

Short Antimicrobial Peptides and Peptide Scaffolds as Promising Antibacterial Agents
Authors: Ronald Domalaon, George G. Zhanel and Frank SchweizerAntimicrobial peptides have recently garnered significant attention as an emerging source of potential antibiotics, due to the swift emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria and a dwindling antibiotic pipeline. The vast majority of antimicrobial peptides are long, comprised of more than 10 amino acids, resulting in significant production costs for their synthesis while simultaneously displaying metabolic instability and relativel Read More

Base-Modified Nucleosides as Chemotherapeutic Agents: Past and Future
Authors: Matthew P. Burke, Kayla M. Borland and Vladislav A. LitoshNucleoside and nucleobase antimetabolites have substantially impacted treatment of cancer and infections. Their close resemblance to natural analogs gives them the power to interfere with a variety of intracellular targets, which on one hand gives them high potency, but on the other hand incurs severe side effects, especially of the chemotherapeutics used against malignancies. Therefore, the development of novel nucleos Read More

The Roles of Vitamin D and Its Analogs in Inflammatory Diseases
Authors: Zongtao Lin and Wei LiThe discovery of nonclassical actions, other than mineral homeostasis, of 1α,25- dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25D3) has expanded its applications. Among these, its anti-inflammation activity has drawn more and more attention of researchers to investigate its role in regulating the progression of inflammatory diseases. The expression of many inflammation-related genes is regulated by 1,25D3 through vitamin D receptor (VDR) Read More

Carbazole Scaffold in Medicinal Chemistry and Natural Products: A Review from 2010-2015
Authors: Lissa S. Tsutsumi, Daniela Gündisch and Dianqing Sun9H-carbazole is an aromatic molecule that is tricyclic in nature, with two benzene rings fused onto a 5-membered pyrrole ring. Obtained from natural sources or by synthetic routes, this scaffold has gained much interest due to its wide range of biological activity upon modifications, including antibacterial, antimalarial, anticancer, and anti-Alzheimer properties. This review reports a survey of the literature on carbazol Read More

Bispidine as a Privileged Scaffold
Authors: Isabelle Tomassoli and Daniela GündischThediazabicyclic molecule bispidine named by the chemist Carl Mannich in 1930, is a naturally occurring scaffold with interesting features. Bispidine can form different conformers, has high basicity, can attack dichloromethane, has metal ion coordination properties and interacts with nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. In this review we will discuss important properties, synthetic pathways and biological activities of bispidine and s Read More
