RSC Med Chem . 2024 Apr; 15(4):1210-1215. PMID: 38665826
The progress in cancer survival and treatment has witnessed a remarkable transformation through the innovative approach of targeting the inhibitory immune checkpoint protein PD-1/PD-L1 complex by mAbs, pembrolizumab (Keytruda). While...

Wazynska M, Butera R, Requesens M, Plat A, Zarganes-Tzitzikas T, Neochoritis C, et al.
J Med Chem . 2023 Jul; 66(14):9577-9591. PMID: 37450644
In search of a potent small molecular PD-L1 inhibitor, we designed and synthesized a compound based on a 2-hydroxy-4-phenylthiophene-3-carbonitrile moiety. Ligand's performance was tested in vitro and compared side-by-side with...

Chem Commun (Camb) . 2020 Aug; 56(73):10662-10665. PMID: 32785316
Oligoisocyanides are attractive synthetic targets, however, only a few are known. Here, we describe the smallest stable tetraisocyanide possible, the 1,3-diisocyano-2,2-bis(isocyano-methyl)propane (1) with S4 symmetry. Its four-step synthesis, structure, and...
