Abstract
In this article we provide an overview on the medicinal chemistry of new bioactive N-acylhydrazone (NAH) derivatives designed through the structural optimization of N-arylhydrazone precursors, originally planned by molecular hybridization of two known 5-lipoxygenase inhibitors, i.e. CBS-1108 and BW-755c. The analgesic, antiedematogenic and platelet anti-aggregating profile of several isosteric NAH compounds was investigated by using classical in vivo and ex-vivo pharmacological assays, which allowed the identification of new potent centrally and peripherically-acting analgesic leads, new antiinflammatory agents and new antithrombotic prototypes. During this study, dozens of active NAH compounds were discovered, clarifying the structure-activity relationships for this series of derivatives and indicating the pharmacophoric character of the N-acylhydrazone moiety for its biological profile.

Chalcogen-modified nucleic acid analogues
Chalcogen-modified nucleosides, nucleotides and oligonucleotides have been of great interest to scientific research for many years. The replacement of oxygen in the nucleobase, sugar or phosphate backbone by chalcogen atoms (sulfur, selenium, tellurium) gives these biomolecules unique properties resulting from their altered physical and chemical properties. The continuing interest in ...read more
