- Antitrypanosomatid Pharmacomodulation at Position 3 of the 8-Nitroquinolin-2(1H)-one Scaffold Using Palladium-Catalysed Cross-Coupling Reactions
-
An antikinetoplastid pharmacomodulation study at position 3 of the recently described hit molecule 3-bromo-8-nitroquinolin-2(1H)-one was conducted. Twenty-four derivatives were synthesised using the Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction and evaluated in vitro on both Leishmania infantum axenic amastigotes and Trypanosoma brucei brucei trypomastigotes. Introduction of a para-carboxyphenyl group at position 3 of the scaffold led to the selective antitrypanosomal hit molecule 3-(4-carboxyphenyl)-8-nitroquinolin-2(1H)-one (21) with a lower reduction potential (?0.56 V) than the initial hit (?0.45 V). Compound 21 displays micromolar antitrypanosomal activity (IC50=1.5 μm) and low cytotoxicity on the human HepG2 cell line (CC50=120 μm), having a higher selectivity index (SI=80) than the reference drug eflornithine. Contrary to results previously obtained in this series, hit compound 21 is inactive toward L. infantum and is not efficiently bioactivated by T. brucei brucei type I nitroreductase, which suggests the existence of an alternative mechanism of action.

- N-(4-acetamidophenyl)-5-acetylfuran-2-carboxamide as a novel orally available diuretic that targets urea transporters with improved PD and PK properties
-
Urea transporters (UTs) have been identified as new targets for diuretics. Functional deletion of UTs led to urea-selective urinary concentrating defects with relative salt sparing. In our previous study, a UT inhibitor with a diarylamide scaffold, which is denoted as 11a, was demonstrated as the first orally available UT inhibitor. However, the oral bioavailability of 11a was only 4.38%, which obstructed its clinical application. In this work, by replacing the nitro group of 11a with an acetyl group, 25a was obtained. Compared with 11a, 25a showed a 10 times stronger inhibitory effect on UT-B (0.14 μM vs. 1.41 μM in rats, and 0.48 μM vs. 5.82 μM in mice) and a much higher inhibition rate on UT-A1. Moreover, the metabolic stability both in vitro and in vivo and the drug-like properties (permeability and solubility) of 25a were obviously improved compared with those of 11a. Moreover, the bioavailability of 25a was 15.18%, which was 3 times higher than that of 11a, thereby resulting in significant enhancement of the diuretic activities in rats and mice. 25a showed excellent potential for development as a promising clinical diuretic candidate for targeting UTs to treat diseases that require long-term usage of diuretics, such as hyponatremia.

- Discovery of Benzopyridone-Based Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 1 Agonists and Antagonists and the Structural Elucidation of Their Activity Shift
-
Among a series of benzopyridone-based scaffolds investigated as human transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) ligands, two isomeric benzopyridone scaffolds demonstrated a consistent and distinctive functional profile in which 2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinolin-5-yl analogues (e.g., 2) displayed high affinity and potent antagonism, whereas 1-oxo-1,2-dihydroisoquinolin-5-yl analogues (e.g., 3) showed full agonism with high potency. Our computational models provide insight into the agonist-antagonist boundary of the analogues suggesting that the Arg557 residue in the S4-S5 linker might be important for sensing the agonist binding and transmitting signals. These results provide structural insights into the TRPV1 and the protein-ligand interactions at a molecular level.

- Effects of the Distance between Radical Sites on the Reactivities of Aromatic Biradicals
-
Coupling of the radical sites in isomeric benzynes is known to hinder their radical reactivity. In order to determine how far apart the radical sites must be for them not to interact, the gas-phase reactivity of several isomeric protonated (iso)quinoline-and acridine-based biradicals was examined. All the (iso)quinolinium-based biradicals were found to react slower than the related monoradicals with similar vertical electron affinities (i.e., similar polar effects). In sharp contrast, the acridinium-based biradicals, most with the radical sites farther apart than in the (iso)quinolinium-based systems, showed greater reactivities than the relevant monoradicals with similar vertical electron affinities. The greater distances between the two radical sites in these biradicals lead to very little or no spin-spin coupling, and no suppression of radical reactivity was observed. Therefore, the radical sites can still interact if they are located on adjacent benzene rings and only after being separated further than that does no coupling occur. The most reactive radical site of each biradical was experimentally determined to be the one predicted to be more reactive based on the monoradical reactivity data. Therefore, the calculated vertical electron affinities of relevant monoradicals can be used to predict which radical site is most reactive in the biradicals.

- Visible-Light-Photocatalyzed Reductions of N-Heterocyclic Nitroaryls to Anilines Utilizing Ascorbic Acid Reductant
-
A photoreductive protocol utilizing [Ru(bpy)3]2+ photocatalyst, blue light LEDs, and ascorbic acid (AscH2) has been developed to reduce nitro N-heteroaryls to the corresponding anilines. Based on experimental and computational results and previous studies, we propose that the reaction proceeds via proton-coupled electron transfer between AscH2, photocatalyst, and the nitro N-heteroaryl. The method offers a green catalytic procedure to reduce, e.g., 4-/8-nitroquinolines to the corresponding aminoquinolines, substructures present in important antimalarial drugs.

- Novel 8-nitroquinolin-2(1H)-ones as NTR-bioactivated antikinetoplastid molecules: Synthesis, electrochemical and SAR study
-
To study the antiparasitic 8-nitroquinolin-2(1H)-one pharmacophore, a series of 31 derivatives was synthesized in 1–5 steps and evaluated in vitro against both Leishmania infantum and Trypanosoma brucei brucei. In parallel, the reduction potential of all molecules was measured by cyclic voltammetry. Structure-activity relationships first indicated that antileishmanial activity depends on an intramolecular hydrogen bond (described by X-ray diffraction) between the lactam function and the nitro group, which is responsible for an important shift of the redox potential (+0.3 V in comparison with 8-nitroquinoline). With the assistance of computational chemistry, a set of derivatives presenting a large range of redox potentials (from ?1.1 to ?0.45 V) was designed and provided a list of suitable molecules to be synthesized and tested. This approach highlighted that, in this series, only substrates with a redox potential above ?0.6 V display activity toward L. infantum. Nevertheless, such relation between redox potentials and in vitro antiparasitic activities was not observed in T. b. brucei. Compound 22 is a new hit compound in the series, displaying both antileishmanial and antitrypanosomal activity along with a low cytotoxicity on the human HepG2 cell line. Compound 22 is selectively bioactivated by the type 1 nitroreductases (NTR1) of L. donovani and T. brucei brucei. Moreover, despite being mutagenic in the Ames test, as most of nitroaromatic derivatives, compound 22 was not genotoxic in the comet assay. Preliminary in vitro pharmacokinetic parameters were finally determined and pointed out a good in vitro microsomal stability (half-life > 40 min) and a 92% binding to human albumin.

- Tridentate Directing Groups Stabilize 6-Membered Palladacycles in Catalytic Alkene Hydrofunctionalization
-
Removable tridentate directing groups inspired by pincer ligands have been designed to stabilize otherwise kinetically and thermodynamically disfavored 6-membered alkyl palladacycle intermediates. This family of directing groups enables regioselective remote hydrocarbofunctionalization of several synthetically useful alkene-containing substrate classes, including 4-pentenoic acids, allylic alcohols, homoallyl amines, and bis-homoallylamines, under Pd(II) catalysis. In conjunction with previous findings, we demonstrate regiodivergent hydrofunctionalization of 3-butenoic acid derivatives to afford either Markovnikov or anti-Markovnikov addition products depending on directing group choice. Preliminary mechanistic and computational data are presented to support the proposed catalytic cycle.

- Discovery of a new antileishmanial hit in 8-nitroquinoline series
-
A series of nitrated 2-substituted-quinolines was synthesized and evaluated in vitro toward Leishmania donovani promastigotes. In parallel, the in vitro cytotoxicity of these molecules was assessed on the murine J774 and human HepG2 cell lines. Thus, a very promising antileishmanial hit molecule was identified (compound 21), displaying an IC50 value of 6.6 μM and CC 50 values ≥ 100 μM, conferring quite good selectivity index to this molecule, in comparison with 3 drug-compounds of reference (amphotericin B, miltefosine and pentamidine). Compound 21 also appears as an efficient in vitro antileishmanial molecule against both Leishmania infantum promastigotes and the intracellular L. donovani amastigotes (respective IC50 = 7.6 and 6.5 μM). Moreover, hit quinoline 21 does not show neither significant antiplasmodial nor antitoxoplasmic in vitro activity and though, presents a selective antileishmanial activity. Finally, a structure-activity relationships study enabled to define precisely the antileishmanial pharmacophore based on this nitroquinoline scaffold: 2-hydroxy-8-nitroquinoline.

- Design, synthesis, and structure-activity relationships of highly potent 5-HT3 receptor ligands
-
The 5-HT3 receptor, a pentameric ligand-gated ion channel (pLGIC), is an important therapeutic target. During a recent fragment screen, 6-chloro-N-methyl-2-(4-methyl-1,4-diazepan-1-yl)quinazolin-4-amine (1) was identified as a 5-HT3R hit fragment. Here we describe the synthesis and structure-activity relationships (SAR) of a series of (iso)quinoline and quinazoline compounds that were synthesized and screened for 5-HT3R affinity using a [3H]granisetron displacement assay. These studies resulted in the discovery of several high affinity ligands of which compound 22 showed the highest affinity (pKi > 10) for the 5-HT3 receptor. The observed SAR is in agreement with established pharmacophore models for 5-HT3 ligands and is used for ligand-receptor binding mode prediction using homology modeling and in silico docking approaches.

- A preparative and preliminary spectroscopic study of analogues of a Zinquin-related fluorophore
-
The syntheses of the 4- and 5-methoxy isomers of 4-N-(6-methoxy-2-methyl-8-quinolyl)-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide and of N-(2-methoxy-8-quinolyl)-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide are described. The 6-methoxy compound is a precursor of Zinquin ester, a specific fluorophore for Zn(II). The 2-methoxy analogue was synthesized by nitration of 2-chloroquinoline and subsequent functional group manipulation. The 4-methoxy isomer was synthesized from a 4-quinolone derivative, and the 5-methoxy isomer was synthesized by a standard Skraup quinoline synthesis. The structures of the 4- and 5-methoxy isomers were determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis. All of these compounds showed a bathochromic shift in their ultraviolet/visible spectra upon addition of Zn(II) to the solution. These compounds are all weakly or non-fluorescent in solution. All form fluorescent complexes with Zn(II) except the 5-methoxy compound. The 4-methoxy compound forms a significantly more fluorescent complex than those of the 6-methoxy compound and Zinquin ester and has a higher quantum yield than the others.
