This work presents a predictive model of aqueous ionization constants (pKa) protonatable carbons in certain aromatic rings. The phenomenon carbon atoms sometimes acting as stable and reversible base accepting proton water solution is surprisingly little recognized medicinal chemistry, although known to general chemists for the past 60+years. We present development results two models: 1) identifying most basic ring, 2) calculating resulting microscopic pKa value. Both models were incorporated into our global (i. e., taking all ionizable groups account) S+pKa model.[1-2].

The voltage-gated potassium channel KV7.2/3 is gaining attention for its association with several medical indications. While recently reported, potent compounds aimed to fill the therapeutic gap left by market-withdrawn activators, key physicochemical parameters did not meet requirements of potential drug candidates. Targeting membrane-located requires subtly balancing lipophilicity, activity, and aqueous solubility. This publication describes lead optimization a highly active compound toward optimized parameters. Out 42 newly synthesized compounds, 30 showed activity on channels, 15 had also an increased solubility compared hit compound. integration three-dimensional bulky structure probable onset chameleonic behavior, led 20-fold increase (S = 21.7 vs 1.1 μM) only slightly reduced potency (pEC50 7.42 7.96) lead. Additionally, target engagement was theoretically enhanced reduction membrane retention.

In this study, a comprehensive analysis was conducted on RU-486 (Mifepristone) and its derivatives (Ph, KOH, NO₂, OH), focusing their potential effectiveness against breast cancer. The included Density of States (DOS) optimization, UV-Visible spectroscopy, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Molecular Electrostatic Potential (MEP) mapping. electronic structures stabilities these molecules were examined through DOS, revealing how different functional groups influence properties. spectroscopy identified shifts in absorption maxima, which correspond to changes transitions due functionalization. NMR provided insights into the chemical environments specific nuclei, offering detailed information molecular geometry distribution. MEP mapped electrostatic across surfaces, pinpointing regions electrophilic nucleophilic reactivity. Collectively, analyses have enhanced understanding properties, reactivity, pharmaceutical applications cancer treatment.

The kynurenine pathway is a significant metabolic route involved in the catabolism of tryptophan, producing various bioactive metabolites with crucial roles as antioxidants immune regulation and neurobiology. This study investigates acid-base properties picolinic acid, kynurenic kynurenine, 3-hydroxykynurenine, utilizing computational simulations experimental techniques, including potentiometric nuclear magnetic resonance titrations. results reveal distinct pKa values, acid exhibiting single dissociation step around 2.4, while displays three steps governed by interactions between its functional groups. Additionally, 3-hydroxykynurenine shows overlapping dissociations two separate pH regions, suggesting nuanced behavior influenced molecular structure. analysis intramolecular hydrogen bonding protonation microspecies across varying highlights relevance charge state transfer potential these context their radical scavenging ability. At physiological pH, most entities exist zwitterionic form, stabilizing aromatic amino group, which may significantly influence proteins reactive oxygen species. provides critical insights into equilibria metabolites.
