The solvents act as the hydrogen-bond acceptor to facilitate intermolecular addition, and then play the proton-shuttle to assist H1+-shift. The stronger electron-donating property of solvent is favorable for the present Cu(i)-catalyzed reactions.

The Brain

Amyloid precursor protein (APP), upon proteolytic degradation, forms aggregates of amyloid β (Aβ) and plaques in the brain, which are pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Cathepsin B is a cysteine protease enzyme that catalyzes the proteolytic degradation of APP in the brain. Thus, cathepsin B inhibition is a crucial therapeutic aspect for the discovery of new anti-Alzheimer’s drugs. In this study, we have employed mixed-feature ligand-based virtual screening (LBVS) by integrating pharmacophore mapping, docking, and molecular dynamics to detect small, potent molecules that act as cathepsin B inhibitors. The LBVS model was generated by using hydrophobic (HY), hydrogen bond acceptor (HBA), and hydrogen bond donor (HBD) features, using a dataset of 24 known cathepsin B inhibitors of both natural and synthetic origins. A validated eight-feature pharmacophore hypothesis (Hypo III) was utilized to screen the Maybridge chemical database. The docking score, MM-PBSA, and MM-GBSA methodology was applied to prioritize the lead compounds as virtual screening hits. These compounds share a common amide scaffold, and showed important interactions with Gln23, Cys29, His110, His111, Glu122, His199, and Trp221. The identified inhibitors were further evaluated for cathepsin-B-inhibitory activity. Our study suggests that pyridine, acetamide, and benzohydrazide compounds could be used as a starting point for the development of novel therapeutics.

The PtII ion in the title complex, [PtI2(C14H10N4)], exists in a distorted square-planar environment defined by the two pyridine N atoms of the chelating 2,3-di-2-pyridylpyrazine ligand and two iodide anions. The pyridine rings are inclined to the least-squares plane of the PtI2N2 unit [maximum deviation = 0.070 (3) Å] at 66.1 (2) and 65.9 (2)°; the pyrazine ring is perpendicular to this plane [dihedral angle = 89.7 (2)°]. Two intermolecular C—H...I hydrogen bonds, both involving the same I atom as hydrogen-bond acceptor, generate a layer structure extending parallel to (001). Molecules are stacked in columns along the a axis. Along the b axis, successive molecules stack in opposite directions.
