Abstract
The preparation of heterocyclic compounds often involves the use of petroleum-based or non-renewable sources. Considering the actual societal and environmental awareness towards sustainable chemistry, new and green sources of organic carbon are sought. In this regard, vanillin is a molecular building block that can be obtained from the depolymerization of lignin. Due to its different functional groups (hydroxyl, aldehyde, and methoxy) vanillin can undergo a variety of reactions leading to various heterocycles such as pyrimidines, quinoxalines, imidazoles or thiazoles to name a few. This mini-review will focus on the preparation of accessible heterocycles building blocks from the vanillin moiety in regard to the medicinal, pharmaceutical, and material fields.

Abstract
Tuberculosis, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis), kills 1.6 million people annually. To bridge the gap between structure- and cell-based drug discovery strategies, we are pioneering a computer-aided discovery paradigm that merges structure-based virtual screening with ligand-based, machine learning methods trained with cell-based data. This approach successfully identified N-(3-methoxyphenyl)-7-nitrobenzo[c][1,2,5]oxadiazol-4-amine (JSF-2164) as an inhibitor of purified InhA with whole-cell efficacy versus in vitro cultured M. tuberculosis. When the intrabacterial drug metabolism (IBDM) platform was leveraged, mechanistic studies demonstrated that JSF-2164 underwent a rapid F420H2-dependent biotransformation within M. tuberculosis to afford intrabacterial nitric oxide and two amines, identified as JSF-3616 and JSF-3617. Thus, metabolism of JSF-2164 obscured the InhA inhibition phenotype within cultured M. tuberculosis. This study demonstrates a new docking/Bayesian computational strategy to combine cell- and target-based drug screening and the need to probe intrabacterial metabolism when clarifying the antitubercular mechanism of action.

Synthesis and Antiviral Activity of Novel 1,4-Pentadien-3-one Derivatives Containing a 1,3,4-Thiadiazole Moiety. Molecules 2017; 22:molecules22040658.

Abstract
1,4-Pentadien-3-one derivatives derived from curcumin possess excellent inhibitory activity against plant viruses. On the basis of this finding, a series of novel 1,4-pentadien-3-one derivatives containing a 1,3,4-thiadiazole moiety were designed and synthesized, and their structures confirmed by IR, 1H-NMR, and 13C-NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The antiviral activities of the title compounds were evaluated against tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) in vivo. The assay results showed that most of compounds had remarkable antiviral activities against TMV and CMV, among which compounds 4b, 4h, 4i, 4k, 4o, and 4q exhibited good curative, protection, and inactivation activity against TMV. Compounds 4h, 4i, 4k, 4l, 4o, and 4q exhibited excellent protection activity against TMV, with EC50 values of 105.01, 254.77, 135.38, 297.40, 248.18, and 129.87 μg/mL, respectively, which were superior to that of ribavirin (457.25 µg/mL). In addition, preliminary SARs indicated that small electron-withdrawing groups on the aromatic ring were favorable for anti-TMV activity. This finding suggests that 1,4-pentadien-3-one derivatives containing a 1,3,4-thiadiazole moiety may be considered as potential lead structures for discovering new antiviral agents.

Abstract
4-(Thiophen-2-yl)butanoic acid was identified as a cyclic substitute of the unsaturated alkyl chain of the natural ligand, capsaicin. Accordingly, a new class of amides was synthesized in good yield and high purity and their molecular recognition against the target was investigated by means of docking experiments followed by molecular dynamics simulations, in order to rationalize their geometrical and thermodynamic profiles. The pharmacological properties of these new compounds were expressed as activation (EC50) and desensitization (IC50) potencies. Several compounds were found to activate TRPV1 channels, and in particular, derivatives 1 and 10 behaved as TRPV1 agonists endowed with good efficacy as compared to capsaicin. The most promising compound 1 was also evaluated for its protective role against oxidative stress on keratinocytes and differentiated human neuroblastoma cell lines expressing the TRPV1 receptor as well as for its cytotoxicity and analgesic activity in vivo.

Abstract
Aim The transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (TRPV1) is responsible for pain perception in the peripheral nervous system (PNS). TRPV1 is thus considered a versatile target for development of non-opioid analgesics. Results Pharmacophore-based clustering of a publicly available data set of TRPV1 antagonists revealed a set of models, which were validated with data sets of inactive compounds, decoys and known drug candidates. The top ranked pharmacophore models were subsequently used for virtual screening. Based on a unique in-house protocol, a set of compounds was selected and biologically tested for modulation of TRPV1 in a voltage-clamp model. Conclusion Pharmacophore models extracted from large public data sets are a valuable source for identification of novel scaffolds for TRPV1 receptor modulation.
