Protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms play a pivotal role in the regulation of numerous cellular functions, making them extensively studied and highly attractive drug targets. In our previous work, we identified in racemate 1-2, based on the 2-benzyl-3-hydroxypropyl ester scaffold, two new potent and promising PKC? and PKC? ligands, targeting the C1 domain of these two kinases. Herein, we report the resolution of the racemates by enantioselective semi-preparative HPLC. The attribution of the absolute...

GC-MS- and NMR-Based Metabolomics and Molecular Docking Reveal the Potential Alpha-Glucosidase Inhibitors from Psychotria malayana Jack Leaves
Psychotria malayana Jack leaf, known in Indonesia as "daun salung", is traditionally used for the treatment of diabetes and other diseases. Despite its potential, the phytochemical study related to its anti-diabetic activity is still lacking. Thus, this study aimed to identify putative inhibitors of ?-glucosidase, a prominent enzyme contributing to diabetes type 2 in P. malayana leaf extract using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)- and...

[NMR paper] Peptide directed binding; a novel approach for the discovery of modulators of alpha-helix mediated protein-protein interactions demonstrated with apoptosis regulating Mcl-1
Peptide directed binding; a novel approach for the discovery of modulators of alpha-helix mediated protein-protein interactions demonstrated with apoptosis regulating Mcl-1
Targeting PPIs with small molecules can be challenging due to large, hydrophobic binding surfaces. Here, we describe a strategy that exploits selective alpha-helical PPIs, transferring these characteristics to small molecules. The proof-of-concept is exemplified with the apoptosis regulator Mcl-1, commonly exploited by cancers to avoid cell death. Peptide directed binding uses few synthetic transformations, requires...
