Abstract
Background: Natural products have been universally approached in the research of novel trends useful to detail the essential paths of the life sciences and as a strategy for pharmacotherapeutics.
Objective: This work focuses on further modification to the 6-hydroxy-flavanone building block aiming to obtain improved BCR-ABL kinase inhibitors.
Methods: Ether derivatives were obtained from Williamson synthesis and triazole from Microwave- assisted click reaction. Chemical structures were finely characterized through IR, 1H and 13C NMR and HRMS. They were tested for their inhibitory activity against BCR-ABL kinase.
Results: Two inhibitors bearing a triazole ring as a pharmacophoric bridge demonstrated the strongest kinase inhibition at IC50 value of 364 nM (compound 3j) and 275 nM (compound 3k).
Conclusion: 6-hydroxy-flavanone skeleton can be considered as a promising core for BCR-ABL kinase inhibitors.
Keywords: Semisynthesis, Triazole, BCR-ABL kinase inhibitors, Chronic myeloid leukemia, Williamson synthesis, 6-hydroxy-flavanone skeleton.

Adaptogens—History and Future Perspectives
Adaptogens are pharmacologically active compounds or plant extracts that are associated with the ability to enhance the body’s stability against stress. The intake of adaptogens is associated not only with a better ability to adapt to stress and maintain or normalise metabolic functions but also with better mental and physical ...read more
Addressing the Most Common Causes of Death with Niacin/NAD and Inositol Polyphosphates
The most common causes of death in the world are cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer. These are perhaps best addressed by reducing lipodystrophy and blockages with niacin and inositol polyphosphates (e.g., IP6+inositol) respectively when addressing CVD. Niacin serves as a vitamin by virtue of its role as a skeletal precursor ...read more
AlphaFold in Medicinal Chemistry: Opportunities and Challenges
AlphaFold, a groundbreaking AI tool for protein structure prediction, is revolutionizing drug discovery. Its near-atomic accuracy unlocks new avenues for designing targeted drugs and performing efficient virtual screening. However, AlphaFold's static predictions lack the dynamic nature of proteins, crucial for understanding drug action. This is especially true for multi-domain proteins, ...read more
Artificial intelligence for Natural Products Discovery and Development
Our approach involves using computational methods to predict the potential therapeutic benefits of natural products by considering factors such as drug structure, targets, and interactions. We also employ multitarget analysis to understand the role of drug targets in disease pathways. We advocate for the use of artificial intelligence in predicting ...read more
