Pharmacophore Based Virtual Screening Approach to Identify Selective PDE4B Inhibitors

Phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) has been established as a promising target in asthma andchronic obstructive pulmonary disease. PDE4B subtype selective inhibitors are known toreduce the dose limiting adverse effect associated with non-selective PDE4B inhibitors. Thismakes the development of PDE4B subtype selective inhibitors a desirable research goal. Toachieve this goal, ligand based pharmacophore m...

Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors

It has long been postulated that a deficiency in CNS serotonergic activity is the cause of, or a predisposing factor for, depression. [1] However, the evidence for this association is largely circumstantial and it certainly does not represent an adequate and full model for depression, probably due to there being multiple aetiological factors. [2] Some pharmacological trial data also cast doubt ...

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors.

Progress towards water-soluble triazole-based selective MMP-2 inhibitors.

Water solubility is a key aspect that needs to be addressed to obtain drug-like compounds. In an effort to improve the water solubility of our recently reported nanomolar matrix metalloproteinase type 2 (MMP-2) inhibitors based on triazole-substituted hydroxamates, we synthesized a new series of α-sulfone, α-tetrahydropyran and α-piperidine, α-sulfone clicked hydroxamates and determined their i...
