During a medicinal chemistry campaign to identify inhibitors of the hepatitis C virus nonstructural protein 5B (RNA-dependent RNA polymerase), a bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane was introduced into the chemical scaffold to improve metabolic stability. The inhibitors bearing this feature,
The crystal structure of 8-((dimethylamino)methyl)-1-(3-(dimethylamino)propyl)-1,7,8,9-tetrahydrochromeno[5,6-d]imidazol-2-amine (1), an inhibitor of the hepatitis C virus internal ribosome entry site, is described and compared to the structure of the compound in complex with the viral RNA target.
OBJECTIVE
Selected-ion flow-tube mass spectrometry can precisely identify trace gases in the human breath, in the parts-per-billion range. We investigated whether concentrations of volatile compounds in breath samples correlate with the diagnosis of alcoholic hepatitis (AH) and the severity of liver
The quantitative determination of hydrocarbons exhaled by animals as an in vivo index of extensive lipid peroxidation is described. Advantages and limitations of this method are discussed. Acetaminophen-induced hepatic lipid peroxidation in mice is an example of oxidative stress, the extent of which
Chloroquine (CQ), N'-(7-chloroquinolin-4-yl)-N,N-diethyl-pentane-1,4-diamine, is widely used as an effective and safe anti-malarial and anti-rheumatoid agent. CQ was discovered 1934 as "Resochin" by Andersag and co-workers at the Bayer laboratories. Ironically, CQ was initially ignored for a decade
