  • Therapeutic agents for treatment of ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury
  • Aurora and epidermal growth factor receptor kinase inhibitors
  • Agents for the treatment of human papillomavirus infection
  • Manzamine analogues for the control of neuroinflammation and cerebral infections
  • Inhibitors of pro-inflammatory cytokines
  • Tacrine-melatonin hybrids as multifunctional agents for alzheimer′s disease

Twenty-three indole-3-methanamines were designed, synthesized and evaluated as ligands for the 5-HT(4) receptor. Compounds I-d, I-j, I-o, I-q and I-u showed good affinity at 100 microM and I-o was found to be only 5-fold less potent than the agonists serotonin

Melatonin seems to be an almost ubiquitous substance, which has been detected not only in metazoans, but also in all major non-metazoan taxa investigated, including bacteria, dinoflagellates, euglenoids, trypanosomids, fungi, rhodophyceans, pheophyceans, chlorophyceans and angiosperms. Despite its vast abundance, little

Autistic spectrum disorders (ASDs) are classified as pervasive developmental disorders characterized by abnormalities in various cognitive and behavioral functions. Although exact underlying causes are still unknown, nearly 30% of autistic patients show elevated blood levels of serotonin (5-HT) and, therefore
