- Description: According to the 2018 report of the United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), a disease caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), remains a significant public health problem. The non-existence of a cure or effective vaccine for the disease and the associated emergence of resistant viral strains imply an urgent need for the discovery of novel anti-HIV drug candidates. The current study aimed to identify potential anti-retroviral compounds from Alchornea cordifolia.

- Description: publisher version , A practicable six-step synthetic pathway has been developed to access a library of novel 3-[(N-cycloalkylbenzamido)methyl]-2-quinolones using Morita-Baylis-Hillman methodology. These compounds and their 3-[(N-cycloalkylamino)methyl]-2-quinolone precursors have been screened as potential HIV-1 integrase (IN) inhibitors. A concomitant survey of their activity against HIV-1 protease and reverse-transcriptase reveals selective inhibition of HIV-1 IN.

- Description: Unexpected substituent-dependent regioselectivty challenges in the synthesis of C-benzylated (N-arylcarbamoyl)phosphonate esters have been resolved. The C-benzylated N-furfurylcarbamoyl derivative showed low micromolar PfLDH inhibition, while one of the C-benzylated N-arylcarbamoyl analogues was active against Nagana Trypanosoma brucei parasites which are responsible for African trypanosomiasis in cattle.

- Description: A series of N-benzylated phosphoramidate esters, containing a 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl Mg2+-chelating group, has been synthesised in five steps as analogues of fosmidomycin, a Plasmodium falciparum 1-deoxy-1-D-xylulose-5- phosphate reductoisomerase (PfDXR) inhibitor. The 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl group effectively replaces the Mg2+- chelating hydroxamic acid group in fosmidomycin. The compounds showed very encouraging anti-parasitic activity with IC50 values of 5.6–16.4 µM against Plasmodium falciparum parasites and IC50 values of 5.2 – 10.2 µM against Trypanosoma brucei brucei (T.b.brucei). Data obtained from in silico docking of the ligands in the PfDXR receptor cavity (3AU9)5 support their potential as PfDXR inhibitors.

- Description: publisher version , Encouraging selectivity and low micromolar activity against HeLa cervical carcinoma (IC50 ⩾ 3.0 μM) and the aggressive MDA-MB-231 triple negative breast carcinoma (IC50 ⩾ 9.6 μM) cell lines has been exhibited by a number of readily accessible 4-(N-benzylamino)cinnamate esters. The potential of the ligands as HIV-1 integrase inhibitors has also been examined.
