Article Abstract
Plinabulin is a promising microtubule destabilizing agent in phase 3 clinical stage for treating non-small cell lung cancer. However, the high toxicity and the poor water solubility of plinabulin limited its use and more plinabulin derivatives need to be explored. Here, two series of 29 plinabulin derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their anti-tumor effect against three types of cancer cell lines. Most of derivatives exerted obvious inhibition to the proliferation of the cell lines tested. Among them, compound 11c exerted stronger efficiency than plinabulin, and the reason might be the additional hydrogen bond between the nitrogen atom of the indole ring in compound 11c and Gln134 of β-tubulin. Immunofluorescence assay showed that compound 11c at 10 nM significantly disrupted tubulin structure. Compound 11c also significantly induced G2/M cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in dose dependent manner. These results suggest that compound 11c might be a potential candidate for cancer treatment as antimicrotubule agent.

Carbon-11 (C)-labeled radiotracers are invaluable tools in positron emission tomography (PET), enabling real-time visualization of biochemical processes with high sensitivity and specificity. Among the various C synthons, cyclotron-produced [C]CO is a fundamental precursor, though its direct incorporation into complex molecules has traditionally been limited by its low reactivity, gaseous form, and short half-life. Recent advances in [C]CO fixation chemistry through both nonphotocatalytic and photocatalytic methods have significantly expanded its utility in the synthesis of structurally diverse compounds, including carboxylic acids, carbonates, carbamates, amides, and ureas.

Disrupted gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) neurotransmission may contribute to the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Reductions in hippocampal GABAergic neurons have been found in schizophrenia, and increased hippocampal perfusion has been described in schizophrenia and in people at clinical high-risk for psychosis (CHRp). We have also found decreases in hippocampal GABA receptors containing the α5 subunit (GABARα5) in a well-validated neurodevelopmental rat model of relevance for schizophrenia.

The study reports the design and synthesis of a new library of triazole in-corporated benzoxazole oxazole compounds (11a-j) and their in vitro cytotoxic activity evaluation. The structural reliability of the synthesized compounds was confirmed by H NMR, C NMR, and mass spectral data. We have selected ER-α and CDK2 proteins for molecular docking study of the active compounds to examine their binding interactions.

The carbon-11 (C) labeling of benzamides holds great promise in the development of PET radiotracers given the prevalence of benzamides in bioactive molecules. This work establishes an improved automated route to carbon-11 labeled primary benzamides through carbonylative cross-coupling of aryl halides with carbon-11 carbon monoxide using electrophilic aroyl dimethylaminopyridinium salts as an intermediate. The methodology uses GE TRACERLab FX automated radiochemistry synthesis modules and allows for the synthesis of a variety of benzamide containing compounds, including known PET imaging agent [C]LY2795050, a KOR antagonist, in moderate to excellent radiochemical yields.

An accurate diagnostic method using biological indicators is critically needed for bipolar disorder (BD) and major depressive disorder (MDD). The excitatory glutamate α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptor (AMPAR) is a crucial regulator of synaptic function, and its dysregulation may play a central role in the pathophysiology of psychiatric disorders. Our recently developed positron emission tomography (PET) tracer, [C]K-2, enables the quantitative visualization of AMPAR distribution and is considered useful for characterizing synaptic phenotypes in patients with psychiatric disorders.
