- Synthesis of Thia-Analogues of Calothrixin B Involving FeCl3-Mediated Domino Reaction
-
The total synthesis of thiacalothrixins, an isostere of the biologically important carbazoloquinone alkaloid calothrixin B, was achieved from ethyl benzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylate. Alternatively, the multi-step synthesis of thiaisocalothrixins could be achieved from 3-methylbenzo[b]thiophene. A preliminary in vitro cytotoxicity evaluation of the synthesized thia analogues of calothrixins displayed promising potential against cancer cell cultures.

- The design and synthesis of novel, phosphonate-containing transient receptor potential melastatin 8 (TRPM8) antagonists
-
A series of benzothiophene-based phosphonates was synthesized and many analogs within the series were shown to be potent antagonists of the TRPM8 channel. The compounds were obtained as a racemic mixture in 5 synthetic steps, and were tested for TRPM8 antagonist activity in a recombinant, canine TRPM8-expressing cell line using a fluorometric imaging plate reader (FLIPR) assay. Structure-activity relationships were developed initially by modification of the core structure and subsequently by variation of the aromatic substituents and the phosphonate ester. Compound 9l was administered intraperitoneally to rats and demonstrated engagement of the TRPM8 target in both prevention and reversal-modes in an icilin-induced 'wet-dog' shake model.

- Synthesis and biological evaluation of new nanomolar competitive inhibitors of Helicobacter pylori type II dehydroquinase. Structural details of the role of the aromatic moieties with essential residues
-
The shikimic acid pathway is essential to many pathogens but absent in mammals. Enzymes in its pathway are therefore appropriate targets for the development of novel antibiotics. Dehydroquinase is the third enzyme of the pathway, catalyzing the reversible dehydratation of 3-dehydroquinic acid to form 3-dehydroshikimic acid. Here we present the synthesis of novel inhibitors with high affinity for Helicobacter pylori type II dehydroquinase and efficient inhibition characteristics. The structure of Helicobacter pylori type II dehydroquinase in complex with the most potent inhibitor shows that the aromatic functional group interacts with the catalytic Tyr22 by π-stacking, expelling the Arg17 side chain, which is essential for catalysis, from the active site. The structure therefore explains the favorable properties of the inhibitor and will aid in design of improved antibiotics.

- 4-Substituted D-glutamic acid analogues: The first potent inhibitors of glutamate racemase (MurI) enzyme with antibacterial activity
-
The first potent inhibitors of glutamate racemase (MurI) enzyme that show whole cell antibacterial activity are described. Optically pure 4-substituted D-glutamic acid analogues with (2R,4S) stereochemistry and bearing aryl-, heteroaryl-, cinnamyl-, or biaryl-methyl substituents represent a novel class of glutamate racemase inhibitors. Exploration of the D-Glu core led to the identification of lead compounds (-)-8 and 10. 2-Naphthylmethyl derivative 10 was found to be a potent competitive inhibitor of glutamate racemase activity (Ki = 16 nM, circular dichroism assay; IC50 = 0.1 μg/mL high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) assay). Thorough structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies led to benzothienyl derivatives such as 69 and 74 with increased potency (IC50 = 0.036 and 0.01 μg/mL, respectively, HPLC assay). These compounds showed potent whole cell antibacterial activity against S. pneumoniae PN-R6, and good correlation with the enzyme assay. Compounds 69, 74 and biaryl derivative 52 showed efficacy in an in vivo murine thigh infection model against Streptococcus pneumoniae. Data described herein suggest that glutamate racemase may be a viable target for developing new antibacterial agents.

- Antihyperglycemic activity of novel substituted 3H-1,2,3,5-oxathiadiazole 2-oxides
-
A series of substituted 3H-1,2,3,5-oxathiadiazole-2-oxides (6) was prepared and tested for antihyperglycemic activity in the db/db mouse, a model for type 2 (non-insulin dependent) diabetes mellitus. The oxathiadiazoles 6 were synthesized by a two-step sequence: treatment of a substituted acetonitrile (4) with hydroxylamine to give the corresponding amidoxime (5) and cyclization with thionyl chloride to yield 6. In terms of potency, the 2-naphthalenylmethyl group (as in compound 3) was found to be the optimal substituent in this series. Compound 3 was approximately 5 times more potent than ciglitazone (1).

- Synthesis and Structure-Activity Relationship of Benzothienylallylamine Antimycotics
-
Benzothiophene analogues of the allylamine antimycotic terbinafine (2) bearing the side chain at various positions and optionally substituted by halogen have been prepared and their antifungal activity studied.Derivatives bearing the side chain at positions 3, 4, or 7 are bioequivalents of 2.Compounds containing the allylamine side chain at position 7, with a further substituent at position 3, showed significantly enhanced activity against Candida albicans, an effect which appears to be specifically linked only to this particular substitution pattern. 3-Chloro-7-benzothienyl derivative 7m was found to be the most potent allylamine antimycotic identified so far.In general, substituted benzothiophenes can be used not only as potential equivalents of naphthalene in bioactive compoudns but also as a tool to selectively modify biological activities.

- Halogeno-Substituted 2- and 3-Methylbenzothiophenes: Use of 1H NMR Spectral Analysis and 1H Nuclear Overhauser Effect for Locating the Halogen Substituent
-
Thirty-seven halogeno-substituted 2- and 3-methyl-(or halogenomethyl)-benzothiophenes, including 17 new compounds, were prepared.The constitution of 14 of these was confirmed by full analysis (LAOCOON) of their 80 MHz 1H NMR spectra and by 1H NOE measurements.In this way a by-product from the preparation of 4- and 6-bromo-3-bromomethylbenzothiophenes was shown conclusively to be 5-bromo-3-bromomethylbenzothiophene.The 3-substituted benzothiophenes showed greater NOE enhancement factors at H-4 than at H-2 when the 3-methyl or halogenomethyl substituent was irradiated.
