Congratulations to Dr. Ravindra S. Phatake and Dr. Gurleen Kour and team from and team from CSIR-IIIM, Jammu, on their research published in Bioorganic Chemistry.
“The Study, “Stereodivergent double Thia-Michael diversification of parthenin enables reduced cytotoxicity with retained anti-inflammatory activity.
The research demonstrates a one-pot double Thia-Michael addition for the dual functionalization of parthenin, affording strictly substrate-controlled C-7 selectivity.
The study successfully uncouples cytotoxicity from efficacy, yielding lead candidate 2a which shows potent NO inhibition, dose-dependent suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and TNF-α), strong iNOS binding, and excellent ADMET profiles with eliminated mutagenic liability.
