Human dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (hDHODH), one of the attractive targets for the development of immunosuppressive drugs, is also a potential target of anticancer drugs and anti-leukemic drugs. The development of promising hDHODH inhibitors is in high demand. Based on the unique binding mode of our previous reported 4-thiazolidinone derivatives, via molecular docking method, three new series 4-thiazolidinone derivatives were designed and synthesized as hDHODH inhibitors. The preliminary structure–activity relationship was investigated. Compound 9 of biphenyl series and compound 37 of amide series displayed IC50 values of 1.32 μM and 1.45 μM, respectively. This research will provide valuable reference for the research of new structures of hDHODH inhibitors.

Dammarane-type ginsenosides are a class of tetracyclic triterpenoids with the same dammarane skeleton. These compounds have a wide range of pharmaceutical applications for neoplasms, diabetes mellitus and other metabolic syndromes, hyperlipidemia, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, aging, neurodegenerative disease, bone disease, liver disease, kidney disease, gastrointestinal disease and other conditions. In order to develop new antineoplastic drugs, it is necessary to improve the bioactivity, solubility and bioavailability, and illuminate the mechanism of action of these compounds. A large number of ginsenosides and their derivatives have been separated from certain herbs or synthesized, and tested in various experiments, such as anti-proliferation, induction of apoptosis, cell cycle arrest and cancer-involved signaling pathways. In this review, we have summarized the progress in structural modification, shed light on the structure-activity relationship (SAR), and offered insights into biosynthesis-structural association. This review is expected to provide a preliminary guide for the modification and synthesis of ginsenosides.
