Seventy-one, seven-week old C57/BL6 mice received daily oral intubation of 10, 15, or 20 mg/kg CXB-909, or vehicle (0.5% methylcellulose solution), which continued for 32 days. At postnatal week nine, mice received bilateral intra-cerebroventricular injections of mu-p-75 saporin, or sterile phosphate buffered saline. Seven days after surgery, mice were trained for two days, on a cued-platform version of the Morris water maze task, and then tested on a four-day hidden-platform version, followed by a one-day probe version of this task. Mice injected with mu-p-75 saporin, had increased latency to find the hidden-platform compared to sham mice. Furthermore, mice treated with CXB-909 at the 10, and 15 mg/kg doses, significantly reduced their latency to reach the hidden-platform, compared to vehicle-treated mice given mu-p-75 saporin. These results suggest that CXB-909 can attenuate memory deficits in the mu-p-75 saporin injected mouse model of AD.展开更多

To discover new strobilurin derivatives with high activity against resistant pathogens, a series of novel fl-methoxyacrylate analogues were designed and synthesized by integrating substituted pyrimidine with a strobilurin pharmacophore. The compounds were confirmed and characterized by infrared, 1H nuclear magnetic resonance, elemental analysis and mass spectroscopy. The bioassays indicated that most of the compounds 1 exhibited potent antifungal activity against Colletotrichum orbiculare, Botrytis cinerea Pers and Phytophthora capsici Leonian at the concentration of 50 μg/mL. Exhilaratingly, compound 1 a （R= methyl） showed better antifungal activity against all the tested fungi than the commercial strobilurin fungicide azoxystrobin.展开更多

Some SUs also displayed other biological activities. In order to discuss the antifungal activity of SUs, a series of novel SUs containing aryl-substituted pyrimidine moieties was designed and synthesized. The preliminary bioassay showed that the title compounds exhibited moderate to favorable fungicidal activities in vivo. Especially, compound 9b exhibited more efficacy than the controls against five fungi at 25 mg/L. These promising results indicate that an aryl group on pyrimidine ring is favorable for antifungal activity and SUs are potential inhibitors for some phytopathogenic fungi.展开更多
