RESUMEN: The carbazole CBL0137 (1) is a lead for drug development against human African trypanosomiasis (HAT), a disease caused by Trypanosoma brucei. To advance 1 as a candidate drug, we synthesized new analogs that were evaluated for the physicochemical properties, antitrypanosome potency, selectivity against human cells, metabolism in microsomes or hepatocytes, and efflux ratios. Structure–activity/property analyses of analogs revealed eight new compounds with higher or equivalent selectivity indices (5j, 5t, 5v, 5w, 5y, 8d, 13i, and 22e). Based on the overall compound profiles, compounds 5v and 5w were selected for assessment in a mouse model of HAT; while 5v demonstrated a lead-like profile for HAT drug development, 5w showed a lack of efficacy. Lessons from these studies will inform further optimization of carbazoles for HAT and other indications.

SEMINARIO QUÍMICA ORGÁNICA 12-5-25 EXPOSITOR :  Dra. Agustina La Venia TÍTULO :   " Recent Progress and Prospects of Small Molecules for NLRP3 Inflammasome Inhibition " FUENTE :  Ying Chen, et al. Cell. Mol. Biol. Lett.  2023 ,  28 , 51 . Na Li, et al.  J. Med. Chem. 2023 , 66 ,   14447-14473. DÍA, HORA y LUGAR : Lunes 12 de mayo de 2025, 14:00 h, Aula 18 y virtual. Modalidad virtual, Link :  meet.google.com/hjn-ygro-twf  ( Plataforma MEET GOOGLE) Resumen : NLRP3 inflammasome is a multiprotein complex involved in host immune response which exerts various biological effects by mediating the maturation and secretion of IL-1β and IL-18and pyroptosis. However, its aberrant activation could cause amplification of inflammatory effects, thereby triggering a range of ailments, including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and cancer. For the past few years, as an attractive anti-inflammato...

SEMINARIO QUÍMICA ORGÁNICA 08-10-25 EXPOSITOR :   Lic. Milagros Amichetti TÍTULO :   " Estudios en la Frontera de la Química Computacional y la Elucidación Estructural: Evaluación de Métodos y Desarrollo de Estrategias para Sistemas Complejos". FUENTE :  Trabajo de investigación de la estudiante de doctorado. DÍA, HORA y LUGAR : Miércoles 8 de octubre de 2025, 15:30 h, virtual. Modalidad virtual, Link :  meet.google.com/hjn-ygro-twf  ( Plataforma MEET GOOGLE) Resumen : El uso de la química computacional para la elucidación estructural se ha incrementado notablemente, siendo el método DP4+ una de las herramientas más destacadas para la asignación estereoquímica. En este trabajo de tesis se han abordado estas metodologías para evaluar y robustecer su aplicabilidad. Esto incluyó, en una primera etapa, la optimización de protocolos computacionales para sistemas flexibles y polihidroxilados, con el fin de superar sesgos conformacionales. En una segunda instancia, se ...

Modalidad virtual, Link :  meet.google.com/hjn-ygro-twf  ( Plataforma MEET GOOGLE) Resumen :  The study of chiral recognition phenomena is key for understanding biological processes, designing bioactive compounds, and for asymmetric catalysis and chiral analysis. In addition, phenomena related to the self-recognition of enantiomers are highly relevant in emergence-of-homochirality research and supramolecular chemistry. However, the design of molecules exhibiting chiral self-recognition remains challenging, and its observation is mainly based on serendipity. He...
