Journal Article
Abd El-Haleem, A., Ammar, U., Masci, D., El-Ansary, S., Abdel Rahman, D., Abou-Elazm, F., & El-Dydamony, N. (2024). Discovery of Benzopyrone-Based Candidates as Potential Antimicrobial and Photochemotherapeutic Agents through Inhibition of DNA Gyrase Enzyme B: Design, Synthesis, In Vitro and In Silico Evaluation. Pharmaceuticals, 17(9), Article 1197. https://doi.org/10.3390/ph17091197

Bacterial DNA gyrase is considered one of the validated targets for antibacterial drug discovery. Benzopyrones have been reported as promising derivatives that inhibit bacterial DNA gyrase B through competitive binding into the ATP binding site of th...

Journal Article
Riley, C., Ammar, U., Alsfouk, A., Anthony, N. G., Baiget, J., Berretta, G., Breen, D., Huggan, J., Lawson, C., McIntosh, K., Plevin, R., Suckling, C. J., Young, L. C., Paul, A., & Mackay, S. P. (2024). Design and Synthesis of Novel Aminoindazole-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine Inhibitors of IKKα That Selectively Perturb Cellular Non-Canonical NF-κB Signalling. Molecules, 29(15), Article 3515. https://doi.org/10.3390/molecules29153515

The inhibitory-kappaB kinases (IKKs) IKKα and IKKβ play central roles in regulating the non-canonical and canonical NF-κB signalling pathways. Whilst the proteins that transduce the signals of each pathway have been extensively characterised, the cle...

Abstract 4472: Discovery of potential RAF-selective back pocket as a promising biological target for BRAF inhibitors in the treatment of resistant melanoma: Design, synthesis, biological evaluation and in silico studies (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ammar, U., Gamal, M., Abdel-Maksoud, M., Ali, E., Mahmoud, Z., Deug, K., Jun, P., Lee, S., & Oh, C. Abstract 4472: Discovery of potential RAF-selective back pocket as a promising biological target for BRAF inhibitors in the treatment of resistant melanoma: Design, synthesis, biological evaluation and in silico studies. Presented at American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meeting 2024, San Diego, CA

The mutated BRAF kinase (V600E) is considered the key component in the MAPK signaling pathway that was reported to be significantly contributed to melanoma disease. Vemurafenib and dabrafenib are examples of drugs that were approved by FDA to treat m...
