Through catalyzing the transfer of methyl groups onto the guanidinium of arginine, protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) was essential to the cell growth of cancer cells. By utilizing a scaffold hopping strategy, a novel series of 3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1()-one derivatives were designed and synthesized. Through a systematic SAR study, demonstrated excellent PRMT5 inhibitory activity, potent antiproliferative activity against Z-138, favorable pharmacokinetic profiles, and low hERG toxicity.

Despite the availability of three FDA-approved FLT3 inhibitors, their clinical utility is hampered by resistance stemming from tyrosine kinase domain (TKD) mutations. Through an integrative analysis of case studies, we identified a potential advantage of type I FLT3 inhibitors in overcoming TKD mutation-induced resistance.

RORγ allosteric inhibitors have gained significant research focus as a novel strategy to inhibit RORγ transcriptional activity. Leveraging the high affinity and selectivity of RORγ allosteric inhibitor (), this study presents the design, synthesis, and characterization of 11 allosteric fluorescent probes.

In this study, the MIPs were made using S-naproxen (S-NAP) as template molecule, 4-vinylpyridine (4-VP) as functional monomer, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as cross-linker, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazoliumtetrafluoroborate ([BMIM]BF)/DMSO as binary porogens, 1-propylmethacrylate-heptaisobutyl substituted as POSS monomer, and mesoporous molecular sieve (Mobil composition of matter No. 41, MCM-41) as dendritic scaffold.
