Abstract
In this paper, we report the synthesis of quinoxaline-isoxazole-piperazine conjugates. The anticancer activity was evaluated against three human cancer cell lines, including MCF-7 (breast), HepG-2 (liver), and HCT-116 (colorectal). The outcomes of the tested compounds 5d, 5e, and 5f have shown more potent activity when compared to the standard drug erlotinib. In a cell survivability test (MCF-10A), three potent compounds (5d, 5e, and 5f) were evaluated against the normal breast cell line, although neither of them displayed any significant cytotoxicity with IC50 values greater than 84 μM. Furthermore, the compounds 5d, 5e, and 5f were tested for tyrosine kinase EGFR inhibitory action using erlotinib as the reference drug and compound 5e was shown to be more potent in inhibiting the tyrosine kinase EGFR than sorafenib. In addition to this, molecular docking studies of compounds 5d, 5e, and 5f demonstrated that these compounds had more EGFR-binding interactions. The potent compounds 5d, 5e, and 5f were subjected to in silico pharmacokinetic assessment by SWISS, ADME, and pkCSM. While the compounds 5d, 5e, and 5f followed Lipinski, Veber, Egan, and Muegge rules without any deviation.

Abstract
We have designed and synthesized three pyrazole analogs (4, 5a, 5b), pyrazole-based chalcones (6a-6d) and (8a-8h), and N-formyl/acetyl 1,3,5-trisubstituted pyrazoline analogs (7a-7d), (9a-9d). FT-IR, 1H, 13C NMR, and mass spectrometry techniques were used to describe the structures of all the synthesized analogs. The single crystal X-ray method was used to identify the molecular structure of derivatives 4 and 5a. All synthesized analogs were screened by MTT assay on two cancer cell lines, the human lung cancer cell line (A549) and cervical cancer cell line (HeLa). Among all compounds, analog 9d demonstrates significant anticancer activity against HeLa (IC50 = 23.6 μM) and A549 (IC50 = 37.59 μM). The non-interactive interaction of active compound (9d) with Calf thymus DNA (Ct-DNA) has been investigated through various methods, such as UV-vis absorption, emission, cyclic voltammetry and circular dichroism. The DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) free radical has been used to measure the antioxidant capacity of the pyrazoline derivative (9d). The outcomes showed that active analog has significant antioxidant activity. In addition, MD simulation of the EGFR tyrosine kinase protein-ligand complex was performed at a time scale of 100 ns. The MMGBSA data of ligand-protein complex are showed stable interactions up to 100 ns.

Abstract
The development of robust and step-economic strategies to access structurally diverse drug-like compound collections remains a challenge. A distinct structural option that constitutes the core scaffold of many biologically significant molecules is the quinazolinone ring system. Several members of this family of privileged substructures have gained attention due to their diverse biological activities. In this context, the development of an efficient strategy for their access is needed. Herein, we report a divergent metal-free operation to access a diverse collection of C6-substituted pyrrolo[4',3',2':4,5]isoquinolino[1,2-b]quinazolin-8(6H)-one and pyrrolo[4',3',2':4,5]isoquinolino[2,1-a]quinazolin-12(6H)-one architectures. The described cascade unites Friedel-Crafts and aza-Michael addition reactions. This operationally simple protocol enables a rapid access to these scaffolds and is compatible with a wide scope of starting materials. In addition, the cascade features a promising approach for the design of unique compound libraries for drug design and discovery programs.

Abstract
Peptide-based drugs are gaining significant momentum in the modern drug discovery, which is witnessed by the approval of new drugs by the FDA in recent years. On the other hand, small molecules-based drugs are an integral part of drug development since the past several decades. Peptide-containing drugs are placed between small molecules and the biologics. Both the peptides as well as the small molecules (mainly heterocycles) pose several drawbacks as therapeutics despite their success in curing many diseases. This gap may be bridged by utilising the so called 'conjugation chemistry', in which both the partners are linked to one another through a stable chemical bond, and the resulting conjugates are found to possess attracting benefits, thus eliminating the stigma associated with the individual partners. Over the past decades, the field of molecular hybridisation has emerged to afford us new and efficient molecular architectures that have shown high promise in medicinal chemistry. Taking advantage of this and also considering our experience in this field, we present herein a review concerning the molecules obtained by the conjugation of peptides (amino acids) to small molecules (heterocycles as well as bioactive compounds). More than 125 examples of the conjugates citing nearly 100 references published during the period 2000 to 2022 having therapeutic applications in curing infectious diseases have been covered.

Abstract
A number of new biguanidine-sulfonamide derivatives (1-16) were synthesized and their structures were characterized by spectroscopic and analytical methods. Crystal structures of the compounds 1, 4, 8, 10 and 14 were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. X-ray crystallographic data showed the π-electron delocalization through the biguanide units. The AChE and BChE cholinesterase inhibitor, DPPH antioxidant and DNA/BSA binding properties of the synthesized compounds were evaluated. Results of cholinesterase inhibitory properties have shown that the compounds containing electron-withdrawing (-F, -Cl) groups have higher AChE/BChE inhibitory and antioxidant activities. Compound 3 showed higher BChE inhibitory activity than tacrine with IC50 value of 28.4 µM. The compounds interact with DNA via minor groove binding mode. The compounds with a naphthyl group in its structure strongly binds with DNA/BSA biomolecules.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
The de novo assembly of stereochemically and skeletally diverse scaffolds is a powerful tool for the discovery of novel chemotypes. Hence, the development of modular, step- and atom-economic synthetic methods to access stereochemically and skeletally diverse compound collection is particularly important. Herein, we show a metal-free, stereodivergent build/couple/pair strategy that allows access to a unique collection of benzo[5,6][1,4]oxazino[4,3-a]quinazoline, quinolino[1,2-a]quinazoline and benzo[b]benzo [4,5]imidazo[1,2-d][1,4]oxazine scaffolds with complete diastereocontrol and wide distribution of molecular architectures. This metal-free process proceeds via desymmetrization of phenol derivatives. The cascade unites Mannich with aza-Michael addition reactions, providing expeditious entries to diverse classes of molecular shapes in a single operation.

Abstract
Microtubules are cylindrical protein polymers formed from αβ-tubulin heterodimers in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. Microtubule disturbance may cause cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase, and anomalous mitotic spindles will form. Microtubules are an important target for cancer drug action because of their critical role in mitosis. Several microtubule-targeting agents with vast therapeutic advantages have been developed, but they often lead to multidrug resistance and adverse side effects. Thus, single-target therapy has drawbacks in the effective control of tubulin polymerization. Molecular hybridization, based on the amalgamation of two or more pharmacophores of bioactive conjugates to engender a single molecular structure with enhanced pharmacokinetics and biological activity, compared to their parent molecules, has recently become a promising approach in drug development. The practical application of combined active scaffolds targeting tubulin polymerization inhibitors has been corroborated in the past few years. Meanwhile, different designs and syntheses of novel anti-tubulin hybrids have been broadly studied, illustrated, and detailed in the literature. This review describes various molecular hybrids with their reported structural–activity relationships (SARs) where it is possible in an effort to generate efficacious tubulin polymerization inhibitors. The aim is to create a platform on which new active scaffolds can be modeled for improved tubulin polymerization inhibitory potency and hence, the development of new therapeutic agents against cancer.

Abstract
Aiming to discover new antihyperlipidemic agents, a new set of quinazolinone-fibrate hybrids 9a-r bearing the essential features for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α (PPARα) agonistic activity was synthesized and the structures were confirmed by different spectral data. All the target compounds were screened for their PPARα agonistic activity. Compounds 9o and 9q exhibited potent activity, with EC50 values better than that of fenofibrate by 8.7- and 27-fold, respectively. Molecular docking investigations were performed for all the newly synthesized compounds in the active site of the PPARα receptor to study their interactions and energies in the receptor. Moreover, the antihyperlipidemic and antioxidant activities of compounds 9o and 9q were determined using Triton WR-1339-induced hyperlipidemic rats. Compound 9q exhibited effective hypolipidemic activity in a dose-dependent manner, where it significantly reduced the serum levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and very-low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and increased the level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Furthermore, it possesses a powerful antioxidant profile where it significantly elevated the levels of reduced glutathione as well as the total antioxidant capacity and significantly decreased the malondialdehyde level. The histopathological studies revealed that compound 9q improved the aortic architecture and hepatic steatosis. These findings support that compound 9q could be a promising lead compound for the development of new antihyperlipidemic agents.

Abstract
Dimeric mixed-ligand oxidovanadium complexes [V2O2(1,3-pdta)(bpy)2]·9H2O (1) and [V2O2(1,3-pdta)(phen)2]·6H2O (2) feature a symmetric binuclear structure bridged by 1,3-pdta, which is different from our previous reported asymmetric binuclear complex [V2O2(edta)(phen)2]·11H2O (3).In this study, a wide range of analytical techniques were carried out to fully characterize the complexes 1 and 2 and further investigate their structural stabilities. Density functional theory calculations of 1 and 2 also suggest that they might have good reactivity with biomolecules as anticancer agents. To assess and screen the antitumor activities of compounds 1-3 together with their four corresponding monomeric complexes [VO(ida)(phen)], [VO(ida)(bpy)], [VO(OH)(phen)2]Cl, and [VO(Hedta)]-, we have performed in vitro experiments with hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 and SMMC-7721 cell lines by MTT analyses. Complex 2 was found to have the highest inhibitory potency against the growth of HepG2 and SMMC-7721 cells (IC50 = 2.07 ± 0.72 μM for HepG2; 13.00 ± 3.06 μM for SMMC-7721) compared to other compounds. The structure-activity relationship studies showed that the antitumor effect of compound 2 is higher than that of other compounds. After studying the monomeric compounds of 1-3, their effects were also ranked. Moreover, complex 2 displayed stronger binding affinity toward calf thymus DNA (Kb = 5.71 × 104 M-1) and cleavage activities than the other complexes (Kb = 1.34 × 104 M-1 for 1 and 5.22 × 104 M-1 for 3, respectively). We further extended the cellular mechanisms of drug action and found that 2 could block DNA synthesis and cell division of HepG2 and 7721 cells and further induce apoptosis by flow cytometry assays. In short, these results indicate that binuclear oxidovanadium compounds could have potential as simple, effective, and safe antitumor agents.

Abstract
This work deals with the design and synthesis of a series of new substituted 2-arylbenzothiazole compounds attached to 4-oxothiazolidin-2-ylidene ring 2-12 and chain elongation with different amino acids and their corresponding ester derivatives 13-18. All prepared derivatives were screened for their in vitro cytotoxicity activities against two cancer cell lines (HepG-2 and MCF-7) in comparison with doxorubicin; in addition to their safety towards thenormal cell line. Furthermore, all compounds 2-18 were evaluated as FGFR-1 inhibitors using AZD4547 as a reference. The 4-oxothiazolidin-2-ylidene derivatives 3 and 8 exhibited the highest cytotoxic activity (IC50 HepG-2 = 2.06, 2.21 µM and IC50 MCF-7 = 0.73, 0.77 µM, respectively) through their promising FGFR-1 suppression effects (IC50 = 16.31 and 18.08 nM, respectively) in comparison to AZD4547 (IC50 = 21.45 nM). Cell cycle and apoptosis analysis indicated that compounds 3 and 8 induce pronounced increase in the cell percentages at pre-G1 and G2/M phase compared to the untreated MCF-7 cancer cells, in addition to their up regulation of caspase-3/7/9. The molecular docking simulation was created to elucidate the binding modes of benzothiazole derivatives 1-18 bearing various scaffolds within the ATP-binding pocket of FGFR-1 enzyme compared with AZD4547.

Lead optimization of novel quinolone chalcone compounds by a structure-activity relationship (SAR) study to increase efficacy and metabolic stability. Sci Rep 2021; 11:21576.

Abstract
Many agents targeting the colchicine binding site in tubulin have been developed as potential anticancer agents. However, none has successfully made it to the clinic, due mainly to dose limiting toxicities and the emergence of multi-drug resistance. Chalcones targeting tubulin have been proposed as a safe and effective alternative. We have shown previously that quinolone chalcones target tubulin and maintain potent anti-proliferative activity vis-à-vis colchicine, while also having high tolerability and low toxicity in mouse models of cancer and refractivity to multi-drug resistance mechanisms. To identify the most effective anticancer chalcone compound, we synthesized 17 quinolone-chalcone derivatives based on our previously published CTR-17 and CTR-20, and then carried out a structure-activity relationship study. We identified two compounds, CTR-21 [((E)-8-Methoxy-3-(3-(2-methoxyphenyl)-3-oxoprop-1-enyl) quinolin-2(1H)-one)] and CTR-32 [((E)-3-(3-(2-ethoxyphenyl)-3-oxoprop-1-enyl) quinolin-2(1H)-one)] as potential leads, which contain independent moieties that play a significant role in their enhanced activities. At the nM range, CTR-21 and CTR-32 effectively kill a panel of different cancer cells originated from a variety of different tissues including breast and skin. Both compounds also effectively kill multi-drug resistant cancer cells. Most importantly, CTR-21 and CTR-32 show a high degree of selectivity against cancer cells. In silico, both of them dock near the colchicine-binding site with similar energies. Whereas both CTR-21 and CTR-32 effectively prevents tubulin polymerization, leading to the cell cycle arrest at G2/M, CTR-21 has more favorable metabolic properties. Perhaps not surprisingly, the combination of CTR-21 and ABT-737, a Bcl-2 inhibitor, showed synergistic effect in killing cancer cells, since we previously found the "parental" CTR-20 also exhibited synergism. Taken together, CTR-21 can potentially be a highly effective and relatively safe anticancer drug.

A 2-(benzothiazol-2-yl)-phenolato platinum(II) complex as potential photosensitizer for combating bacterial infections in lung cancer chemotherapy†. Eur J Med Chem 2021; 222:113600. [PMID: 34144355 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2021.113600] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2021] [Revised: 05/04/2021] [Accepted: 05/30/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Cancer and antibiotic resistance are two global health threats that usually hamper clinical chemotherapeutic efficacy. Particularly for lung cancer, bacterial infections frequently arise thereby complicating the course of cancer treatment. In this sense, three new neutral luminescent cycloplatinated(II) photosensitizers of the type [Pt(dmba)(L)] (dmba = N,N-dimethylbenzylamine-κN,κC; L = 2-(benzo[d]oxazol-2-yl)-phenolato-κN,κO1, 2-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-phenolato-κN,κO2, and 2-(1-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-2-yl)phenolato-κN,κO3) have been characterized and developed to potentially eliminate both resistant bacteria and lung cancer cells. The phototherapeutic effects of complex 2 have been evaluated using low doses of blue light irradiation. Complex 2 exerted promising photoactivity against pathogenic Gram-positive bacteria strains of clinical interest, displaying a phototoxic index (PI) of 15 for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, one of the major microorganisms predominating lung infections. Likewise, the anticancer activity of 2 was also increased upon light irradiation in human lung A549 cancer cells (PI = 36). Further in vitro experiments with this platinum(II) complex suggest that ROS-generating photodynamic reactions were involved upon light irradiation, thus providing a reasonable mechanism for its dual anticancer and antibacterial activities.

Abstract
Heterocyclic compounds constitute a unique class of organic compounds endowed with a wide range of synthetic and pharmaceutical applications. Pyrimidinones and their fused analogues have received focused attention in this regard, partly due to their mimicry of nucleobases which consequently forges their interesting medicinal properties. Over the years, the medicinal chemistry research community has experienced an upsurge in articles describing the exploration of these scaffolds to develop effective therapeutic agents. Several biological activities, including antimicrobial, antiviral, anticancer, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, anticonvulsive, and antihistaminic, have been well documented. This minireview presents a compendium of recent developments (2017-2020) focused on the synthesis and biological activities of fused pyrimidinones. The goal is to update medicinal chemists on the therapeutic relevance of fused pyrimidinones and the molecular architecture of clinic-worthy drug candidates. A brief account of the structure-activity relationships (SAR) revealed from different biological assays is also discussed.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the second most leading cause of death among women. Multiple drugs have been approved by FDA for the treatment of BC. The major drawbacks of existing drugs are the development of resistance, toxicity, selectivity problem. The other therapies like hormonal therapy, surgery, radiotherapy, and immune therapy are in use but showed many side effects like bioavailability issues, non-selectivity, pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic problems. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new moieties that are nonviolent and more effective in the treatment of cancer. Isoxazole derivatives have gain popularity in recent years due to anticancer potential with the least side effects. These derivatives act as an anticancer agent with different mechanisms like inducing apoptosis, aromatase inhibition, disturbing tubulin congregation, topoisomerase inhibition, HDAC inhibition, and ERα inhibition. In this article, we have explored the synthetic strategies, anticancer mechanism of action along with SAR studies of isoxazole derivatives.

Abstract
1-(adamantane-1-carbonyl-3-(1-naphthyl)) thiourea (C22H24N2OS (4), was synthesized by the reaction of freshly prepared adamantane-1-carbonyl chloride from corresponding acid (3) with ammonium thiocyanate in 1:1 M ratio in dry acetone to afford the adamantane-1-carbonyl isothiocyanate (2) in situ followed by treatment with 1-naphthyl amine (3). The structure was established by elemental analyses, FTIR, 1H, 13C NMR and mass spectroscopy. The molecular and crystal structure were determined by single crystal X-ray analysis. It belongs to triclinic system P - 1 space group with a = 6.7832(5) Å, b = 11.1810(8) Å, c = 13.6660(10) Å, α = 105.941(6)°, β = 103.730(6)°, γ = 104.562(6)°, Z = 2, V = 910.82(11) Å3. The naphthyl group is almost planar. In the crystal structure, intermolecular CH···O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into centrosymmetric dimers, enclosing R22(14) ring motifs, while the intramolecular NH···O hydrogen bonds enclose S(6) ring motifs, in which they may be effective in the stabilization of the structure. The Hirshfeld surface analysis of the crystal structure indicates that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H … H (59.3%), H … C/C … H (19.8%) and H … S/S … H (10.1%) interactions. Hydrogen bonding and van der Waals interactions are the dominant interactions in the crystal packing. DFT, molecular docking and urease inhibition studies revealed stability and electron withdrawing nature of 4 as compared to DNA base pairs and residues of urease. The DNA binding results from docking, UV- visible spectroscopy, and viscosity studies indicated significant binding of 4 with the DNA via intercalation and groove binding. Further investigation of the compound was done on hepatocellular carcinoma; Huh-7 cell line as well as normal human embryonic kidney; Hek-293 cell line. The compound showed significant cytotoxic activity against Huh-7 cells in comparison to normal Hek-293 cells indicating selective cytotoxicity towards cancer cells.

Abstract
The evaluation of antioxidant compounds that counteract the mutagenic effects caused by the direct action of reactive oxygen species on DNA molecule is of considerable interest. Therefore, a series of 2,3-substituted quinazolinone derivatives (Q1-Q8) were investigated by different assays, and the relationship between their biological properties and chemical structure was examined. Genotoxicity and the potential DNA-protective effects of Q1-Q8 were evaluated by comet assay and DNA topology assay. Antioxidant activity was examined by DPPH-radical-scavenging, reducing-power, and total antioxidant status (TAS) assays. The cytotoxic effect of compounds was assessed in human renal epithelial cells (TH-1) and renal carcinoma cells (Caki-1) by MTT assay. Analysis of the structure-activity relationship disclosed significant differences in the activity depending on the substitution pattern. Derivatives Q5-Q8, bearing electron-donating moieties, were the most potent members of this series. Compounds were not genotoxic and considerably decreased the levels of DNA lesions induced by oxidants (H2O2, Fe2+ ions). Furthermore, compounds exhibited higher cytotoxicity in Caki-1 compared to that in TH-1 cells. Substantial antioxidant effect and DNA-protectivity along with the absence of genotoxicity suggested that the studied quinazolinones might represent potential model structures for the development of pharmacologically active agents.

Abstract
In this study, novel quinazolinone derivatives 7a-n were synthesized and evaluated against metabolic enzymes including α-glycosidase, acetylcholinesterase, butyrylcholinesterase, human carbonic anhydrase I, and II. These compounds exhibited high inhibitory activities in comparison to used standard inhibitors with Ki values in the range of 19.28-135.88 nM for α-glycosidase (Ki value for standard inhibitor = 187.71 nM), 0.68-23.01 nM for acetylcholinesterase (Ki value for standard inhibitor = 53.31 nM), 1.01-29.56 nM for butyrylcholinesterase (Ki value for standard inhibitor = 58.16 nM), 10.25-126.05 nM for human carbonic anhydrase I (Ki value for standard inhibitor = 248.18 nM), and 13.46-178.35 nM for human carbonic anhydrase II (Ki value for standard inhibitor = 323.72). Furthermore, the most potent compounds against each enzyme were selected in order to evaluate interaction modes of these compounds in the active site of the target enzyme. Cytotoxicity assay of the title compounds 7a-n against cancer cell lines MCF-7 and LNCaP demonstrated that these compounds do not show significant cytotoxic effects.

Abstract
The development of strategies to minimise the adverse side-effects of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) remains a challenge for medicinal chemists. One such strategy is the development of NSAID-peptide prodrug conjugates and this conjugation to a peptide often confers the additional property of hydrogelation. This review summarises the work published by our research group, alongside other research groups, on supramolecular hydrogels consisting of short peptides conjugated to NSAIDs. Generally, supramolecular low molecular weight hydrogels (LMWHs) are composed of amphiteric molecules, usually consisting of short peptides attached to an aromatic capping group. When the aromatic capping group is switched for an NSAID to afford hybrid gelators, some conjugates exhibit retained or improved anti-inflammatory properties of the parent drug, and sometimes new and unexpected biological activities are observed. Conjugation to peptides often provides selective COX-2 inhibition over COX-1 inhibtion, which is key to retaining the anti-inflammatory benefits of NSAIDs whilst minimising gastric side-effects. Naproxen is the most commonly employed NSAID capping group, partly due to its similarity in structure to commonly employed naphthalene capping groups. Biomimetic approaches, where canonical amino acids are switched for non-natural amino acids such as d-amino acids or dehydroamino acids, are often employed, to tune the stability. The future direction for this area of research is discussed.

Abstract
Descaudatine A (1), an undescribed phenolic glycoside, along with a known analogue (2) and ten flavonoids (3-12), were isolated from the whole plant of Desmodium caudatum. Compounds 1 and 4 exhibited potent antioxidant activities with the IC50 of 58.59 μM and 31.31 μM, respectively, which were approached to that of the positive control Vitamin C (IC50 = 46.32 μM). Meanwhile, 12 showed moderate antioxidant activity with the IC50 of 173.9 μM. Besides, compounds 3 and 6 inhibited the proliferation of HeLa cells with IC50 values of 56.14 μM and 69.04 μM, respectively. Further studies indicated that 3 and 6 could dose-dependently induce PARP cleavage and might trigger caspase-3, 8, 9 activation to induce apoptosis. RXRα is an ideal anticancer target of nuclear receptor. The reporter gene assay of RXRα indicated that 3 and 6 could inhibited the 9-cis-RA induced RXRα transcription in a concentration-dependent manner.

Abstract
Isatin and azole moieties, which have the ability to form various noncovalent interactions with different therapeutic targets, are common pharmacophores in drug development. Isatin and azole derivatives possess promising in vitro and in vivo anticancer activity, and many of them, such as semaxanib, sunitinib, and carboxyamidotriazole, could be used to treat various cancers. Thus, it is conceivable that hybridization of the isatin moiety with azole may provide a valuable therapeutic intervention for the treatment of cancer. Substantial efforts have been made to develop isatin-azole hybrids as novel anticancer agents, and some of the isatin-azole hybrids exhibited considerable activity. This review emphasizes isatin-azole hybrids with potential anticancer activity, covering articles published between 2010 and 2019. The structure-activity relationships as well as the mechanisms of action are also discussed to provide insights for the rational design of more effective candidates.
