- Design, synthesis, antitrypanosomal activity, DNA/RNA binding and in vitro ADME profiling of novel imidazoline-substituted 2-arylbenzimidazoles
-
Novel imidazoline benzimidazole derivatives containing diversely substituted phenoxy moieties were synthesized with the aim of evaluating their antitrypanosomal activity, DNA/RNA binding affinity and in vitro ADME properties. The presence of the diethylaminoethyl subunit in 18a–18c led to enhanced antitrypanosomal potency, particularly for 18a and 18c, which contain unsubstituted and methoxy-substituted phenoxy moieties. They were found to be > 2-fold more potent against African trypanosomes than nifurtimox. Fluorescence and CD spectroscopy, thermal denaturation assays and computational analysis indicated a preference of 18a–18c toward AT-rich DNA and their minor groove binding mode. Replacement of the amidine group with less basic and ionisable nitrogen-containing moieties failed to improve membrane permeability of the investigated compounds. Due to structural diversification, the compounds displayed a range of physico-chemical features resulting in variable in vitro ADME properties, leaving space for further optimization of the biological profiles.

- Synthesis and Evaluation of a New Series of 8-(2-Nitroaryl)Xanthines as Adenosine Receptor Ligands
-
(Table presented.). A new series of 1,3-dimethylxanthine derivatives bearing 8-(2-nitroaryl) residue was synthesized and evaluated for affinity for recombinant human adenosine receptors subtypes. Nitrate esters of 7-substituted-1,3-dimethyl-8-phenylxanthines were also synthesized and tested. Introducing a nitro substituent at the 2-position of the 8-substituted phenyl ring resulted in generally low affinity for adenosine receptors (ARs), selectivity toward the A2A subtype was enhanced in some of the compounds. 8-(4-Cyclopentyloxy-5-methoxy-2-nitrophenyl)-1,3-dimethylxanthine (9e) proved to be a potent compound among the 2-nitrophenyl substituted xanthines exhibiting a Ki = 1 μM at human A2A ARs with at least 30 fold selectivity versus human A1 and A2B ARs. Replacement of 8-chloropropoxy phenyl with 8-nitrooxypropoxy phenyl resulted in a negligible change in binding affinity of the 8-substituted xanthines for various AR subtypes.

- Modification of a promiscuous inhibitor shifts the inhibition from γ-secretase to FLT-3
-
The inhibition of FLT-3 activity is an interesting target for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The serendipitous identification of FLT-3 inhibitors from a CK1/γ-secretase programme provided compounds with dual inhibitory activity. We analyzed the structure-activity relationship of these inhibitors and derivatized them to arrive at compounds with reduced impact on γ-secretase activity and enhanced FLT-3 inhibition.

- Synthesis of a series of 8-(substituted-phenyl)xanthines and a study on the effects of substitution pattern of phenyl substituents on affinity for adenosine A1 and A2A receptors
-
A new series of 8-(substituted-phenyl)xanthines have been synthesized and compounds were evaluated for their affinity for A1 and A2 adenosine receptors (AR) using radioligand binding assays. The effects of varying the positions of 8-phenyl substituents on affinity and selectivity at A1 and A2A adenosine receptors have been studied. Isovanilloid 1,3-dimethyl-8-[4-methoxy-3-(2-morpholin-4-ylethoxy)phenylxanthine (9d) displayed the highest affinity and selectivity towards A2A AR subtypes with Ki = 100 nM over A1 receptors (Ki > 100 mM). It has been observed that substitution pattern on 8-phenyl group greatly affects the affinity and selectivity at adenosine receptors, with A2A tolerating bulkier substituents than did A1 receptors.

- Synthesis of 16E-[3-methoxy-4-(2-aminoethoxy)benzylidene]androstene derivatives as potent cytotoxic agents
-
The synthesis and cytotoxic studies of a new series of 16E-arylidene androstene derivatives are reported herein. The impact of incorporating bis-tertiary amino functionalities in the steroid skeleton on cytotoxicity has also been observed. The compounds have been evaluated at National cancer Institute, Bethesda, Maryland, USA for their antineoplastic activity against various tumor cell lines. The synthesized 16E-arylidenosteroids exhibited significant cytotoxicity. Bis-tertiary amino steroid 29 possessing a diethylaminoalkoxy functionality was the most promising compound of the series with a total IP and SC score of 20 in in vivo hollow fiber assay and was selected for further detailed in vivo xenograft testing.
