In recent years, dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitors have been noted as valuable agents for treatment of type 2 diabetes. Herein, we report the discovery of a novel potent DPP-4 inhibitor with 3H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-4(5H)-one as skeleton. After efficient optimization of the lead compound 2a at...

Residues in the histone substrate binding sites that differ between the KDM4 and KDM5 subfamilies were identified. Subsequently, a C8-substituted pyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one series was designed to rationally exploit these residue differences between the histone substrate binding sites in or...

In present study, a series of N-(2-methoxy-5-(3-substituted quinazolin-4(3H)-one-6-yl)-pyridin-3-yl)phenylsulfonamide were synthesized. Their antiproliferative activities in vitro were evaluated via MTT assay against HCT116 and MCF-7 cancer cell lines. The SAR of title compounds was discussed. T...

Analysis of the results of studies of docking 1 and 7a with c-Met kinase led to the identification of benzo[d]oxazol-2(3H)-one-quinolone derivatives as potential inhibitors of this enzyme. A molecular hybrid strategy, using a 4-ethoxy-7-substituted-quinoline core and a benzo[d]oxazol-2(3H)-one s...

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) and sulfonylurea receptor (SUR) play crucial roles in management of type-2 diabetes mellitus. In this study, a series of novel quinazoline-4(3H)-one-sulfonylurea hybrids were designed and synthesized as dual PPARγ and SUR agonists. The s...

A new and simple synthesis of novel N-protected methyl 5-substituted-4-hydroxypyrrole-3-carboxylates, which exist in equilibrium with their 4-oxo tautomers, has been developed in two steps starting from N-protected α-amino acids. The key intermediates are enaminones, which can also be isolated,...
