Abstract
Tetrahydropyridine (THP) moiety is a part of many biologically active systems. The discovery of the neurotoxic properties of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) as well as numerous alkaloids, prompted extensive research on the synthesis and pharmacological properties of these compounds. The goal was extending the database for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies. Consequently, many promising drug candidates were designed and a lot more are under clinical study. The current paper reviews the most popular approaches for the synthesis of THP derivatives. The pharmacological characteristics of some THP derivatives are summarized together with composite of the data from their in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo assays.

Chalcogen-modified nucleic acid analogues
Chalcogen-modified nucleosides, nucleotides and oligonucleotides have been of great interest to scientific research for many years. The replacement of oxygen in the nucleobase, sugar or phosphate backbone by chalcogen atoms (sulfur, selenium, tellurium) gives these biomolecules unique properties resulting from their altered physical and chemical properties. The continuing interest in ...read more
