Abstract
In this study, a new series of N-acyl hydrazones 7a-e, 8a-e, and 9a-e, starting from methyl δ-oxo pentanoate with different substituted groups 1a-e, were synthesized as anticancer agents. The structures of obtained target molecules were identified by spectrometric analysis methods (FT-IR, 11H NMR, 13C NMR, and LC-MS). The antiproliferative activity of the novel N-acyl hydrazones was evaluated on the breast (MCF-7) and prostate (PC-3) cancer cell lines by an MTT assay. Additionally, breast epithelial cells (ME-16C) were used as reference normal cells. All newly synthesized compounds 7a-e, 8a-e, and 9a-e exhibited selective antiproliferative activity with high toxicity to both cancer cells simultaneously without any toxicity to normal cells. Among these novel N-acyl hydrazones, 7a-e showed the most potent anticancer activities with IC50 values at 7.52 ± 0.32-25.41 ± 0.82 and 10.19 ± 0.52-57.33 ± 0.92 μM against MCF-7 and PC-3 cells, respectively. Also, molecular docking studies were applied to comprehend potential molecular interactions between compounds and target proteins. It was seen that the docking calculations and the experimental data are in good agreement.

Synthesis and Structure-Chirality Relationship Analysis of Steroidal Quinoxalines to Design and Develop New Chiral Drugs. CHEMISTRY 2021.

Abstract
Of the utmost importance of chirality in organic compounds and drugs, the present work reports structure-chirality relationship of three steroidal quinoxalines, which were synthesised by condensing diaminobenzenes with cholestenone. All the compounds were purified and characterised by varying analytical tools prior to their chiroptical analysis by circular dichroism (CD) technique. The substituent groups on quinoxalines contributed to determining the chiroptical properties of the compounds. The positive Cotton effects have been observed in the CD spectra of unsubstituted and methyl-substituted quinoxalines, which indicated their P helicity. Importantly, chloro-substituent on quinoxalines produced different CD behaviour, which can be attributed to the presence of three lone pairs of electrons on Cl atom. The present work provides guidelines for determining the chiral properties of steroidal quinoxalines, which can be useful to design and develop potential molecules of biological importance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the associated factors of late-onset post-stroke depression (PSD). METHODS A total of 251 patients with acute ischemic stroke were recruited. The evaluation of depression was performed 2 weeks after ischemia. 206 patients showing no depression in 2 weeks were followed up. They were divided into late-onset PSD group and non-depressed group by clinical interview with Hamilton depression scale score 3 months after stroke. On the first day following hospitalization, the clinical data including age, gender, educational level and vascular risk factors were recorded. The severity, etiological subtype and location of stroke were evaluated. The inflammatory mediators, glucose and lipid levels were recorded on the day of admission. The association between clinical factors and late-onset PSD was explored by logistic regression analysis. The ROC analysis was performed to evaluate the predicting power of the clinical factors. RESULTS 187 of 206 patients completed the assessment 3 months after stroke. 19 (10.16%) patients were diagnosed as late onset PSD. Diabetes mellitus was an independent risk factor for late-onset PSD (OR 2.675, p = 0.047). ROC analysis demonstrated that glucose and HbA1C could predict late-onset PSD with specificity of 84.4%. LIMITATIONS The sample of our study was small. The results should be further confirmed in a larger cohort of patients with acute ischemic stroke. CONCLUSIONS The acute ischemic stroke patients with diabetes mellitus were more tendered to suffer late-onset PSD.

Abstract
Cardiotoxicity is a side effect that plagues modern drug design and is very often due to the off-target blockade of the human ether-à-go-go related gene (hERG) potassium channel. To better understand the structural determinants of this blockade, we designed and synthesized a series of 40 derivatives of clofilium, a class III antiarrhythmic agent. These were evaluated in radioligand binding and patch-clamp assays to establish structure-affinity relationships (SAR) for this potassium channel. Efforts were especially focused on studying the influence of the structural rigidity and the nature of the linkers composing the clofilium scaffold. It was shown that introducing triple bonds and oxygen atoms in the n-butyl linker of the molecule greatly reduced affinity without significantly modifying the pKa of the essential basic nitrogen. These findings could prove useful in the first stages of drug discovery as a systematic way of reducing the risk of hERG K(+) channel blockade-induced cardiotoxicity.

The structures of all newly synthesized compounds have been established on the basis of analytical and spectral data. Evaluation of antibacterial and antifungal activity showed that almost all compounds exhibited better results than reference drugs thus they could be promising candidates for novel drugs.

Abstract
4,7-Dimethoxy-1,10-phenanthroline (L1c) was found to be an efficient ligand for the copper-catalyzed N-arylation of imidazoles and benzimidazoles with both aryl iodides and bromides under mild conditions. Further optimization of the system has revealed that the addition of poly(ethylene glycol) accelerates this reaction. A variety of hindered and functionalized imidazoles, benzimidazoles, and aryl halides were transformed in good to excellent yields. Heteroaryl halides were also coupled in moderate to good yields. We also present the results obtained from a series of coupling reactions, which directly compare the use of L1c with other recently reported ligands.

Abstract
A protocol for the functionalization of the oxazole 2- and 4-positions using the Suzuki coupling reaction is described. 2-Aryl-4-trifloyloxazoles undergo rapid, microwave-assisted coupling with a range of aryl and heteroaryl boronic acids in good to excellent yields. The methodology is similarly effective using 4-aryl-2-chlorooxazoles as the coupling partner and has been extended to the synthesis of a novel class of homo- and heterodimeric 4,4-linked dioxazoles.

Abstract
We investigated the ability of Neotrofin, an agent that enhances endogenous nerve growth factor (NGF) levels, to prevent phenotypic, functional and structural changes that occur in the peripheral nerve of streptozotocin-diabetic rats. Eight weeks of Neotrofin treatment prevented depletion of NGF protein in plantar foot skin and sciatic nerve of diabetic rats and increased NGF protein in associated skeletal muscles. These effects were accompanied by maintenance of normal nerve levels of the neuropeptides substance P and calcitonin gene related peptide. Thermal hypoalgesia and conduction slowing of large sensory fibres in diabetic rats were ameliorated by Neotrofin treatment, whereas there was no effect on conduction slowing in large motor fibres or on reduced myelinated fibre axonal calibre. Enhancing endogenous production of neurotrophic factors using small molecules may be an alternative to either exogenous treatment with neurotrophic factors or gene therapy as a therapeutic approach to treating diabetic neuropathy.

Abstract
The purpose of this review is to integrate what is currently known about the role of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the pathophysiology of mood disorders including major depressive disorder (MDD) and bipolar disorder (BD). We reviewed the pre-clinical and clinical papers demonstrating that BDNF plays a role in the pathophysiology of mood disorders and in the mechanism of action of therapeutic agents. Pre-clinical studies suggest that the expression of BDNF might be a downstream target of antidepressant treatments and mood stabilizers such as lithium and valproate, and that BDNF exerts antidepressant activity in animal models of depression. Furthermore, BDNF protects against stress-induced neuronal damage, and it might affect neurogenesis in the hippocampus, which is thought to be involved in the pathogenesis of mood disorders. Clinical studies have demonstrated that serum levels of BDNF in drug-naive patients with MDD are significantly decreased as compared with normal controls, and that BDNF might be an important agent for therapeutic recovery from MDD. Moreover, recent findings from family-based association studies have suggested that the BDNF gene is a potential risk locus for the development of BD. These findings suggest that BDNF plays a critical role in the pathophysiology of mood disorders and in the activity of therapeutic agents in patients with mood disorders. New agents capable of enhancing BDNF levels may lead aid the development of novel therapeutic drugs for patients with mood disorders.
