“…These substances have limited therapeutic use in vivo because they can react with ferrous hemoglobin and myoglobin. We have recently identified a series of pyridopyrimidine derivatives [59] (BPIPP; Fig. 2) as nonspecific indirect inhibitor of guanylyl cyclases which can suppress activation of sGC [60].…”

Recent progress in understanding of the nitric oxide and cGMP signaling pathway provided evidence for mechanism of action of known drugs and identified novel targets for drug development. These discoveries resulted in numerous efforts in drug and formulation discovery. Some of the most promising approaches were applied for efficient therapies of various diseases.

“…By the same conditions, cyclization between 6‐amino‐uracil derivative with an aldehyde and 1,3‐dicarbonyl compounds furnished the desired dihydropyridopyrimidines 15–17 in good yields (50–86%) (Scheme ) .…”
Section: The Mcrs Synthesis Of Pyridopyrimidinesmentioning
Because of biological and medicinal properties of pyridopyrimidines, synthesis of these heterocycles has attracted the interest of organic and medicinal chemists. This review focuses on the recent development in the multi‐component synthesis of pyridopyrimidine and spiro‐conjugated pyridopyrimidine systems. The present review describes the literature reports for the period 2000–2015, particularly those that involve the reactions of activated methylene, aldehyde or ketone, and amine in classical and nonclassical conditions.
“…Currently, two pharmacological strategies have been employed to specifically counteract the effects of STa: (i) inhibition of GC-C and its signaling; and (ii) inhibition of chloride secretion through CFTR [148,149,150,151,152]. The group of pyridopyrimidine derivatives has been demonstrated to decrease cGMP levels in T84 cells and to decrease STa triggered fluid secretion in an isolated intestinal loop model by inhibition of GC-C [148,149].…”

“…The group of pyridopyrimidine derivatives has been demonstrated to decrease cGMP levels in T84 cells and to decrease STa triggered fluid secretion in an isolated intestinal loop model by inhibition of GC-C [148,149]. Specificity of the substance is limited, as other GC family members (GC-A,B and soluble forms) were also inhibited [148].…”
Section: The Pathophysiology Of Enterotoxin Mediated Diarrheamentioning
An estimated 4 billion episodes of diarrhea occur each year. As a result, 2–3 million children and 0.5–1 million adults succumb to the consequences of this major healthcare concern. The majority of these deaths can be attributed to toxin mediated diarrhea by infectious agents, such as E. coli, V. cholerae or Rotavirus. Our understanding of the pathophysiological processes underlying these infectious diseases has notably improved over the last years. This review will focus on the cellular mechanism of action of the most common enterotoxins and the latest specific therapeutic approaches that have been developed to contain their lethal effects.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
