- Novel amide derivatives of 3-phenylglutaric acid as potent soluble epoxide hydrolase inhibitors
-
Abstract: Soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) enzyme plays an important role in the metabolism of endogenous chemical mediators, epoxyeicosatrienoic acids, which are involved in the regulation of blood pressure and inflammation. According to the pharmacophoric model suggested for sEH inhibitors, some new amide-based derivatives of 3-phenylglutaric acid were designed, synthesized and biologically evaluated. Docking study illustrated that the amide group as a primary pharmacophore had a suitable distance from the three amino acids of Tyr383, Tyr466 and Asp335 for effective hydrogen binding. Most of the compounds showed moderate to high sEH inhibitory activities in in vitro test in comparison with 12-(3-Adamantan-1-yl-ureido)-dodecanoic acid, as a potent urea-based sEH inhibitor. Compound 6o with phenethyl in R position exhibited the highest activity with IC50 value of 0.5?nM. Graphic abstract: In this study, some new amide-based derivatives of 3-phenylglutaric acid were designed, synthesized and biologically evaluated. Most of the synthesized compounds provided nanomolar range inhibition against sEH enzyme. The best observed IC50 value was 0.5?nM. Incorporating a carboxylic moiety into these structures by forming carboxylate salts would increase the solubility and improving physicochemical properties.[Figure not available: see fulltext.]

- Synthesis and biological evaluation of pentanedioic acid derivatives as farnesyltransferase inhibitors
-
Structure-based virtual screening of a commercial library identified pentanedioic acid derivatives (6 and 13b) as a kind of novel scaffold farnesyltransferase inhibitors (FTIs). Chemical modifications of the lead compounds, biological assays and analysis of the structure-activity relationships (SAR) were conducted to discover more potent FTIs. Some of them displayed excellent inhibition against FTase, and among them, the most active compound 13n with an IC50 value of 0.0029 μM and SAR analysis might be helpful to the discovery of more potent FTIs.
