Pregnane X receptor (PXR) that orchestrates the intricate network of xeno- and endobiotic metabolism is considered as a promising therapeutic target for cholestasis. In this study, the human PXR (hPXR) agonistic bioassay-guided isolation of Euphorbia lathyris followed by the structural modification led to the construction of a lathyrane diterpenoid library (1-34). Subsequent assay of this library led to the identification of a series of potent hPXR agonists, showing better efficacy than that of ...
Synthetic endoperoxide antimalarials, such as 1,2,4-trioxolanes and 1,2,4,5-tetraoxanes, are promising successors for current front-line antimalarials, semisynthetic artemisinin derivatives. However, limited solubility of second-generation analogues in biological-relevant media represents a barrier in clinical development. We present methodology for the synthesis of nonlinear analogues of second-generation tetraoxane antimalarials E209 and N205 to investigate reduced molecular symmetry on in vit...
