Abstract: Antimicrobial resistance has become a significant threat to global public health, thus precipitating an exigent need for new drugs with improved therapeutic efficacy. In this regard, molecular hybridization is deemed as a viable strategy to afford multi-target-based drug candidates. Herein, we report a library of quinoline—1H-1,2,3-triazole molecular hybrids synthesized via copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne [3 + 2] dipolar cycloaddition reaction (CuAAC). Antimicrobial evaluation identified compound 16 as the most active hybrid in the library with a broad-spectrum antibacterial activity at an MIC80 value of 75.39?μM against methicillin-resistant S. aureus, E. coli, A. baumannii, and multidrug-resistant K. pneumoniae. The compound also showed interesting antifungal profile against C. albicans and C. neoformans at an MIC80 value of 37.69 and 2.36?μM, respectively, superior to fluconazole. In vitro toxicity profiling revealed non-hemolytic activity against human red blood cells (hRBC) but partial cytotoxicity to human embryonic kidney cells (HEK293). Additionally, in silico studies predicted excellent drug-like properties and the importance of triazole ring in stabilizing the complexation with target proteins. Overall, these results present compound 16 as a promising scaffold on which other molecules can be modeled to deliver new antimicrobial agents with improved potency.

The present invention relates to novel dopamine D2 receptor ligands. The invention further relates to functionally-biased dopamine D2 receptor ligands and the use of these compounds for treating or preventing central nervous system and systemic disorders associated with dysregulation of dopaminergic activity. The present invention relates to novel compounds that modulate dopamine D2 receptors. In particular, compounds of the present invention show functional selectivity at the dopamine D2 receptors and exhibit selectivity downstream of the D2 receptors, on the 0- arrestin pathway and/or on the cAMP pathway.

Kv1.5 potassium channel is an efficacious and safe therapeutic target for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common arrhythmia that threatens human. Herein, by modifying the hit compound 7k from an in-house database, 48 derivatives were synthesized for the assay of their Kv1.5 inhibitory effects by whole cell patch clamp technique. Six compounds which showed better potency than the positive compound dronedarone were selected for the next evaluation of their drug-like properties. Compound 8 exhibited balanced solubility and permeability. It also showed acceptable pharmacodynamics profile with very low acute toxicity. Taking all these data into account, compound 8 can serve as a promising lead for the development of novel therapeutic agent for the treatment of AF.
