- Structural Optimization of 4-Chlorobenzoylpiperidine Derivatives for the Development of Potent, Reversible, and Selective Monoacylglycerol Lipase (MAGL) Inhibitors
-
Monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) inhibitors are considered potential therapeutic agents for a variety of pathological conditions, including several types of cancer. Many MAGL inhibitors are reported in literature; however, most of them showed an irreversible mechanism of action, which caused important side effects. The use of reversible MAGL inhibitors has been only partially investigated so far, mainly because of the lack of compounds with good MAGL reversible inhibition properties. In this study, starting from the (4-(4-chlorobenzoyl)piperidin-1-yl)(4-methoxyphenyl)methanone (CL6a) lead compound that showed a reversible mechanism of MAGL inhibition (Ki = 8.6 μM), we started its structural optimization and we developed a new potent and selective MAGL inhibitor (17b, Ki = 0.65 μM). Furthermore, modeling studies suggested that the binding interactions of this compound replace a structural water molecule reproducing its H-bonds in the MAGL binding site, thus identifying a new key anchoring point for the development of new MAGL inhibitors.

- 2-Arylamino-6-ethynylpurines are cysteine-targeting irreversible inhibitors of Nek2 kinase
-
Renewed interest in covalent inhibitors of enzymes implicated in disease states has afforded several agents targeted at protein kinases of relevance to cancers. We now report the design, synthesis and biological evaluation of 6-ethynylpurines that act as covalent inhibitors of Nek2 by capturing a cysteine residue (Cys22) close to the catalytic domain of this protein kinase. Examination of the crystal structure of the non-covalent inhibitor 3-((6-cyclohexylmethoxy-7H-purin-2-yl)amino)benzamide in complex with Nek2 indicated that replacing the alkoxy with an ethynyl group places the terminus of the alkyne close to Cys22 and in a position compatible with the stereoelectronic requirements of a Michael addition. A series of 6-ethynylpurines was prepared and a structure activity relationship (SAR) established for inhibition of Nek2. 6-Ethynyl-N-phenyl-7H-purin-2-amine [IC50 0.15 μM (Nek2)] and 4-((6-ethynyl-7H-purin-2-yl)amino)benzenesulfonamide (IC50 0.14 μM) were selected for determination of the mode of inhibition of Nek2, which was shown to be time-dependent, not reversed by addition of ATP and negated by site directed mutagenesis of Cys22 to alanine. Replacement of the ethynyl group by ethyl or cyano abrogated activity. Variation of substituents on the N-phenyl moiety for 6-ethynylpurines gave further SAR data for Nek2 inhibition. The data showed little correlation of activity with the nature of the substituent, indicating that after sufficient initial competitive binding to Nek2 subsequent covalent modification of Cys22 occurs in all cases. A typical activity profile was that for 2-(3-((6-ethynyl-9H-purin-2-yl)amino)phenyl)acetamide [IC50 0.06 μM (Nek2); GI50 (SKBR3) 2.2 μM] which exhibited >5-10-fold selectivity for Nek2 over other kinases; it also showed > 50% growth inhibition at 10 μM concentration against selected breast and leukaemia cell lines. X-ray crystallographic analysis confirmed that binding of the compound to the Nek2 ATP-binding site resulted in covalent modification of Cys22. Further studies confirmed that 2-(3-((6-ethynyl-9H-purin-2-yl)amino)phenyl)acetamide has the attributes of a drug-like compound with good aqueous solubility, no inhibition of hERG at 25 μM and a good stability profile in human liver microsomes. It is concluded that 6-ethynylpurines are promising agents for cancer treatment by virtue of their selective inhibition of Nek2. This journal is

- Carboxylation of Aryl Triflates with CO2 Merging Palladium and Visible-Light-Photoredox Catalysts
-
We report herein a visible-light-promoted, highly practical carboxylation of readily accessible aryl triflates at ambient temperature and a balloon pressure of CO2 by the combined use of palladium and photoredox Ir(III) catalysts. Strikingly, the stoichiometric metallic reductant is replaced by a nonmetallic amine reductant providing an environmentally benign carboxylation process. In addition, one-pot synthesis of a carboxylic acid directly from phenol and modification of estrone and concise synthesis of pharmaceutical drugs adapalene and bexarotene have been accomplished via late-stage carboxylation reaction. Furthermore, a parallel decarboxylation-carboxylation reaction has been demonstrated in an H-type closed vessel that is an interesting concept for the strategic sector. Spectroscopic and spectroelectrochemical studies indicated electron transfer from the Ir(III)/DIPEA combination to generate aryl carboxylate and Pd(0) for catalytic turnover.

- Design and synthesis of selective CYP1B1 inhibitor via dearomatization of α-naphthoflavone
-
Selective cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1B1 inhibition has potential as an anticancer strategy that is unrepresented in the current clinical arena. For development of a selective inhibitor, we focused on the complexity caused by sp3-hybridized carbons and synthesized a series of benzo[h]chromone derivatives linked to a non-aromatic B-ring using α-naphthoflavone (ANF) as the lead compound. Ring structure comparison suggested compound 37 as a suitable cyclohexyl-core with improved solubility. Structural evolution of 37 produced the azide-containing cis-49a, which had good properties in three important respects: (1) selectivity for CYP1B1 over CYP1A1 and CYP1A2 (120-times and 150-times, respectively), (2) greater inhibitory potency of >2 times that of ANF, and (3) improved solubility. The corresponding aromatic B-ring compound 59a showed low selectivity and poor solubility. To elucidate the binding mode, we performed X-ray crystal structure analysis, which revealed the interaction mode and explained the subtype selectivity of cis-49a.

- Comprehensive Synthesis of Amino Acid-Derived Thiazole Peptidomimetic Analogues to Understand the Enigmatic Drug/Substrate-Binding Site of P-Glycoprotein
-
A novel set of 64 analogues based on our lead compound 1 was designed and synthesized with an initial objective of understanding the structural requirements of ligands binding to a highly perplexing substrate-binding site of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and their effect on modulating the ATPase function of the efflux pump. Compound 1, a stimulator of P-gp ATPase activity, was transformed to ATPase inhibitory compounds 39, 53, and 109. The ATPase inhibition by these compounds was predominantly contributed by the presence of a cyclohexyl group in lieu of the 2-aminobenzophenone moiety of 1. The 4,4-difluorocyclohexyl analogues, 53 and 109, inhibited the photolabeling by [125I]-IAAP, with IC50 values of 0.1 and 0.76 μM, respectively. Selected compounds were shown to reverse paclitaxel resistance in HEK293 cells overexpressing P-gp and were selective toward P-gp over CYP3A4. Induced-fit docking highlighted a plausible binding pattern of inhibitory compounds in the putative-binding pocket of P-gp. The current study underscores the stringent requirement by P-gp to bind to chemically similar molecules.

We report the efficient carboxylation of bromides and triflates with K2CO3 as the source of CO2 in the presence of an organic photocatalyst in combination with a nickel complex under visible light irradiation at room temperature. The reaction is compatible with a variety of functional groups and has been successfully applied to the synthesis and derivatization of biologically active molecules. In particular, the carboxylation of unactivated cyclic alkyl bromides proceeded well with our protocol, thus extending the scope of this transformation. Spectroscopic and spectroelectrochemical investigations indicated the generation of a Ni0 species as a catalytic reactive intermediate.

- Structure-Based Discovery of Novel and Selective 5-Hydroxytryptamine 2B Receptor Antagonists for the Treatment of Irritable Bowel Syndrome
-
Here we employed structure-based ligand discovery techniques to explore a recently determined crystal structure of the 5-hydroxytryptamine 2B (5-HT2B) receptor. Ten compounds containing a novel chemical scaffold were identified; among them, seven molecules were active in cellular function assays with the most potent one exhibiting an IC50 value of 27.3 nM. We then systematically probed the binding characteristics of this scaffold by designing, synthesizing, and testing a series of structural modifications. The structure-activity relationship studies strongly support our predicted binding model. The binding profiling across a panel of 11 5-HT receptors indicated that these compounds are highly selective for the 5-HT2B receptor. Oral administration of compound 15 (30 mg/kg) produced significant attenuation of visceral hypersensitivity in a rat model of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). We expect this novel scaffold will serve as the foundation for the development of 5-HT2B antagonists for the treatment of IBS.

- Synthesis and biological activities of novel pleuromutilin derivatives with a substituted thiadiazole moiety as potent drug-resistant bacteria inhibitors

A series of novel pleuromutilin derivatives possessing thiadiazole moieties were synthesized via acylation reactions under mild conditions. The in vitro antibacterial activities of the derivatives against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis, Escherichia coli, and Streptococcus agalactiae were tested by the agar dilution method and Oxford cup assay. The majority of the tested compounds displayed moderate antibacterial activities. Importantly, the three compounds with amino or tertiary amine groups in their side chains, 11, 13b, and 15c, were the most active antibacterial agents. Docking experiments carried out on the peptidyl transferase center (PTC) of 23S rRNA proved that there is a reasonable direct correlation between the binding free energy (ΔGb, kcal/mol) and the antibacterial activity. Moreover, the pharmacokinetic profiles of 11 and 15c in rat were characterized by moderate clearance and oral bioavailability.

- γ-Amino butyric acid analogs as novel potent GABA-AT inhibitors: Molecular docking, synthesis, and biological evaluation
-
A new series, of γ-amino butyric acid analogs were designed and synthesized as novel potent GABA-AT inhibitors. A structure-activity relationship study was performed by correlating the effect of different substituents with GABA-AT inhibitory activity of the title compounds. The preliminary bioassays showed that acid hydrazones exhibited excellent inhibitory activities in micromolar (0.07-0.56 μM) range, while Schiff's bases showed variable results. The most potent compound, 4-amino-N'-[(1Z)-1-(2-bromophenyl) ethylidene]butanehydrazide (AHG177) showed inhibitory potency (IC50) of 0.073 μM. Aminobutyrate transaminase is a pyridoxal-P enzyme which follows a bi-bi ping pong mechanism and in pyridoxamine form can readily transaminate only with succinic semialdehyde and 2-oxoglutarate. The results strongly suggest that only the pyridoxal form of the enzyme is capable of reacting with the ligands. Our findings open up the possibility to extend this protocol to different databases in order to find new potential inhibitor for promising targets based on a rational drug design process.

Human neutrophil elastase (HNE) plays an important role in tumour invasion and inflammation. A series of N-benzoylindazoles was synthesized and evaluated for their ability to inhibit HNE. We found that this scaffold is appropriate for HNE inhibitors and that the benzoyl fragment at position 1 is essential for activity. The most active compounds inhibited HNE activity with IC50 values in the submicromolar range. Furthermore, docking studies indicated that the geometry of an inhibitor within the binding site and energetics of Michaelis complex formation were key factors influencing the inhibitor's biological activity. Thus, N-benzoylindazole derivatives and their analogs represent novel structural templates that can be utilized for further development of efficacious HNE inhibitors.

- Process of preparing benzodiazepine compounds useful as antagonists of CCK or of gastrine
-
A benzodiazepine derivative of formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof: STR1 wherein: (a) R4 is an alkyl, cycloalkyl or aryl group. (b) R10 is chosen from halo, OH, CH3, OCH3, NR11 R12, NO2, NHCHO, CO2 H and CN, and R11 and R12 are independently selected from H and alkyl (C1 -C5) or together NR11 R12 form a cyclic structure II, STR2 wherein a is 1-6; and (c) R2 is an aromatic 5- or 6-membered, substituted or unsubstituted heterocycle containing at least two heteroatoms of which at least one is nitrogen. These compounds are gastrin and/or CCK-B receptor antagonists.

- (3R)-N-(1-(tert-butylcarbonylmethyl)-2,3-dihydro-2-oxo-5-(2-pyridyl)- 1H-1,4-benzodiazepin-3-yl)-N'-(3-(methylamino)phenyl)urea (YF476): A potent and orally active gastrin/CCK-B antagonist
-
A number of new 1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one-based gastrin/CCK-B receptor antagonists related to the archetypal analogue L-365,260, and more closely to the recently reported compound YM022, have been synthesized and evaluated for biological activity. The compounds were screened for their ability to inhibit the binding of [125I]CCK-8 to gastrin/CCK-B receptors prepared from rat brains and that of [3H]L-364,718 to CCK-A receptors from rat pancreas, and were shown to be potent and selective ligands for the gastrin/CCK-B receptor. Functional studies in vivo demonstrated the compounds to be antagonists of the receptor as evidenced by their ability to inhibit pentagastrin-induced gastric acid secretion in anesthetized rats. More extensive evaluation in viva included determination of ED50 values in the rat acid secretion model for selected compounds and an examination of the effect of these compounds on pentagastrin-induced gastric acid secretion in Heidenhain pouch dogs following oral and intravenous administration. Two compounds, i.e. (3R)-N- [1-[(tert-butylcarbonyl)methyl]-2,3-dihydro-2-oxo-5-(2-pyridyl)-1H-1,4- benzodiazepin-3-yl]-N'-[3-(methylamino)phenyl]urea, 15c (YF476), and (3R)-N- [1-[(tert-Butylcarbonyl)methyl]-2,3-dihydro-2-oxo-5-(2-pyridyl)-1H-1,4- benzodiazepin-3-yl]-N'-[3-(dimethylamino)phenyl]urea hydrochloride, 15d, showed potent dose-dependent effects in both models with the former showing excellent oral bioavailability and an ED50 of 21 nmol/kg po in dogs. 15e is currently under clinical investigation for the treatment of gastro-oesophagal reflux disease (GORD).

- Structure-activity relationships of a series of substituted benzamides: Potent D2/5-HT2 antagonists and 5-HT1a agonists as neuroleptic agents
-
A series of substituted (4-(4-(1,2-benzisothiazol-3-yl)-1-piperazinyl)butyl)benzamide derivatives was prepared and evaluated as potential atypical antipsychotic agents. The target compounds were readily prepared from their benzoyl chloride, benzoic acid, or isatoic anhydride precursors, and they were evaluated in vitro for their ability to bind to dopamine D2, serotonin 5-HT2, and serotonin 5-HT1a receptors. To assess the potential antipsychotic activity of these compounds, we investigated their ability to inhibit the apomorphine-induced climbing response in mice. Selected compounds were evaluated further to determine their side-effect potentials. Structure-activity relationships of both mono- and polysubstituted benzamides are discussed herein. While several analogues had potent in vitro and in vivo activities indicative of potential atypical antipsychotic activity, anthranilamide 77 (1192U90) demonstrated a superior pharmacological profile. As a result of this investigation, 1192U90 (2-amino-N-(4-(4-(1,2-benzisothiazol-3-yl)-1-piperazinyl)butyl)benzamide hydrochloride) was selected for further evaluation and is currently in phase I clinical trials as a potential atypical antipsychotic agent.

- Synthesis and Structure-Activity Studies of a Series of salicylates as Inhibitors of EGF Receptor-Associated Tyrosine Kinase Activity
-
The synthesis and structure-activity relationships of a series of salicylates and a series of salicylates as inhibitors of EGF receptor-associated tyrosine kinase activity are described.Their inhibitory potency was evaluated in vitro using ER 22 cell membranes (CCL 39 cells transfected with EGF receptor) as an enzyme source and the tridecapeptide RRSrc (RRLIEDAEYAARG) as substrate.Their cellular activity was measured by inhibition of the EGF-stimulated DNA synthesis of ER 22 cells.Chemical modifications were made to analyze the role of the different substituents.The amino series was found to be more active than the imino series.The hydroquinone moiety appears to be essential for tyrosine kinase inhibitory activity in the series of 5-salicylates.Comparison of the imino and amino series by molecular modeling techniques provides further evidence in support of the hypothesis that the important reduced linking chain, CH2NH allows the correct positioning of the 2,5-dihydroxybenzyl ring, possibly in a cis-like conformational arrangement.
