Description

Ashanul Haque and colleagues present a two thousand twenty-four study of new drug candidates against a brain enzyme tied to Alzheimer's disease. The enzyme MARK4 helps drive the protein tangles behind memory loss. Blocking it is a promising but unproven strategy.

A series of pyrimidine-based compounds was synthesized and fully characterized. Laboratory assays measured how well each blocked the enzyme's energy use. Computer docking and long motion simulations tested binding stability. Drug-likeness and toxicity were screened in software as well. The combined wet and dry work narrows which chemical shapes deserve animal testing next.
