Chemical engineers ensure the efficiency and safety of chemical processes, adapt the chemical make-up of products to meet environmental or economic needs, and apply new technologies to improve existing processes. 553-97-9, Name is 2-Methylcyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione, molecular formula is C7H6O2, Category: naphthyridines, belongs to naphthyridine compound, is a common compound. In a patnet, author is Sharma, Kamlesh, once mentioned the new application about 553-97-9.
Background: Protein farnesyltransferase (PFT) inhibitors have emerged as a potent target for the malaria treatment caused by the Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) parasite. Objective: To explore the various scaffolds which are active against Pf-PFT target. Result: Seven inhibitor scaffolds based on ethylenediamine, peptidomimetic, benzophenone, benzamide, tetrahydroquinoline, naphthyridine and oxy-tetrahydroquinoline, have been developed till date. Conclusion: It is concluded that naphthyridine based drugs are the most promising one. Furthermore, introducing the hydrophobic molecules like isoprenyl groups to a protein or a chemical compound facilitate protein-protein and protein-membrane interactions thereby makes them good candidates as new therapeutics. The future research should focus on the disease rather than the infection and the dynamics of its transmission; this will bring a new vision about the disease.
The potential utility of systematic synthetic strategy will be applicable to efficient generations of chemical libraries of compounds to find ‘hit’ molecules. I hope my blog about 553-97-9 is helpful to your research. Category: naphthyridines.
