Here, we aimed to discern how taxane derivatives modify MT lattice architecture and how structural states regulate motor proteins and MAP dynamics. To decouple MT stabilization from adverse structural changes, we designed, synthesized, and characterized several PTX analogues. Our compound&nbsp;<strong>1b<\/strong>&nbsp;retains PTX-like stabilizing activity&nbsp;<em>in vitro<\/em>&nbsp;and in cells while preserving a native-like MT lattice. This structural separation allowed direct interrogation of MT structure\u2013function relationship in cells. PTX-induced lattice expansion disrupted dynein-mediated retrograde transport, altered kinesin-1 motility and suppressed dynamic Tau exchange. In contrast,&nbsp;<strong>1b<\/strong>&nbsp;preserved more physiological Tau dynamics. These findings reveal that MT stabilization and lattice modulation are separable properties and establish drug-imposed MT states as regulators of intracellular transport and MAP behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>PROTAC-mediated degradation of peroxisomal d-aspartate oxidase: A novel strategy to modulate d-aspartate homeostasis for schizophrenia treatment<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"437\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.unimi.it\/passalab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-27-alle-10.25.23-1024x437.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27337\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.unimi.it\/passalab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-27-alle-10.25.23-1024x437.png 1024w, https:\/\/sites.unimi.it\/passalab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-27-alle-10.25.23-300x128.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.unimi.it\/passalab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-27-alle-10.25.23-768x328.png 768w, https:\/\/sites.unimi.it\/passalab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-27-alle-10.25.23-1536x655.png 1536w, https:\/\/sites.unimi.it\/passalab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-27-alle-10.25.23-2048x874.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>Eur.

The resulting bifunctional compounds were synthesized and evaluated in biochemical assays for their ability to bind hDASPO. Most compounds retained micromolar<br>inhibitory activity, indicating that derivatization at olanzapine position 10 preserves target engagement, with CRBN-recruiting analogues generally outperforming their VHL-based counterparts. Selected compounds were further investigated in cellular models, where PROTAC 17 demonstrated robust target engagement, positive cooperativity in ternary complex formation and dose-dependent degradation of hDASPO.

ASIC3 was found in stem cells of central nervous system (CNS)\u2013located glioblastoma multiforme (GBM CSCs), and its chronic activation kills dysfunctional GBM CSCs without any effect on ASIC3-lacking CNS tissues. We rationally designed and synthesized blood\u2013brain barrier (BBB)\u2013 compliant analogues of GMQ, a known guanidyl quinazoline ASIC3 activator; we replaced its guanidine group with a guanyl hydrazone (GH) and carried out scaffold substitutions and other structural variations in 16 GMQ analogues to establish a struc- ture\u2013activity relationship (SAR). Our more potent GH analogue 1a showed specific activity against GBM CSC neurospheres, coupled with a better safety profile on mammalian nontumor cells and a better brain-to-plasma ratio compared with GMQ.

In this work, we introduce a novel class of stereodefined 3-difluoromethyl-benzoxaboroles.
