Abstract:
The essential role of STING-mediated signaling in autoimmune and inflammatory disorders makes it a compelling therapeutic target, driving the development of novel small-molecule STING inhibitors. Based on the lead STING inhibitor H151, herein we designed and prepared a series of novel STING inhibitors composed of amino indole and pyrazine derivatives linked with amide bond. Structure activity relationship investigation demonstrated that compound QQ21 showed significant improved STING inhibition activity in mouse RAW-Lucia™ ISG cells with an IC50 value of 86 nM, which is 8-fold of the efficacy of H151. QQ21 effectively inhibited the activity of STING agonist CMA in mouse. In cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) mouse model, QQ21 significantly prevented kidney function damage and inflammation.

Preparation of 1° Amines: Azide Synthesis
Azide ions act as good nucleophiles and react with unhindered alkyl halides to form alkyl azides. Alkyl azides do not participate in further nucleophilic substitution reactions, thereby eliminating the chances of polyalkylated products. Alkyl azides are reduced by hydride-based reducing agents, like lithium aluminum...

Indirect-Acting Cholinergic Agonists: Mechanism of Action
Reversible inhibitors like edrophonium bind to a specific part of the enzyme called the anionic catalytic site. They form noncovalent bonds, which means they are not strongly attached to the enzyme. This creates a temporary and less stable enzyme–inhibitor complex,...
