- Design, synthesis and evaluation of tetrahydrocarbazole derivatives as potential hypoglycemic agents
-
Two series of tetrahydrocarbazole derivatives have been designed and synthesized based on ZG02, a promising candidate developed in our previous studies. The newly prepared compounds were screened for glucose consumption activity in HepG2 cell lines. Aza-tetrahydrocarbazole compound 12b showed the most potent hypoglycemic activity with a 45% increase in glucose consumption when compared to the solvent control, which had approximately 1.2-fold higher activity than the positive control compounds (metformin and ZG02). An investigation of the potential mechanism indicated that 12b may exhibit hypoglycemic activity via activation of the AMPK pathway. Metabolic stability assays revealed that 12b showed good stability profiles in both artificial gastrointestinal fluids and blood plasma from SD rats. An oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed and the results further confirmed that 12b was a potent hypoglycemic agent.

- Discovery of novel and potent safinamide-based derivatives as highly selective hMAO-B inhibitors for treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD): Design, synthesis, in vitro, in vivo and in silico biological studies
-
Up to date, the current clinical practice employs only symptomatic treatments for management of Parkinson's disease (PD) but unable to stop disease progression. The discovery of new chemical entities endowed with potent and selective human monoamine oxidase B (hMAO-B) inhibitory activity is a clinically relevant subject. Herein, a structural optimization strategy for safinamide (a well-known second generation hMAO-B inhibitor) afforded a series of thirty-six safinamide-derived new analogs (4aa–bj). Most compounds showed promising inhibitory activities against hMAO-B (>70% inhibition at a single dose concentration of 10 μM), with no apparent effect on hMAO-A at 100 μM. Moreover, while six compounds (4ak, 4as, 4az, 4be, 4bg, and 4bi) exhibited potent double-digit nanomolar activities over hMAO-B with IC50 values of 29.5, 42.2, 22.3, 18.8, 42.2, and 33.9 nM, respectively, three derivatives (4aq, 4at, and 4bf), possessing the same carboxamide moiety (2-pyrazinyl), showed the most potent single-digit nanomolar activities (IC50 = 9.7, 5.1, and 3.9 nM, respectively). Compound 4bf revealed an excellent selectivity index (SI > 25641) with a 29-fold increase compared to safinamide (SI > 892). A structure activity relationship along with molecular docking simulations provided insights into enzyme ? inhibitor interactions and a rational for the observed activity. In an in vivo MPTP-induced mouse model of PD, oral administration of compound 4bf significantly protected nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons as revealed by tyrosine hydroxylase staining and prevented MPTP-induced Parkinsonism as revealed by motor behavioral assays. Accordingly, we present compound 4bf as a novel, highly potent, and selective hMAO-B inhibitor with an effective therapeutic profile for relieving PD.

- Design and Synthesis of 4-Anilinothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-Based Compounds as Dual EGFR/HER-2 Inhibitors
-
Dual inhibition of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2) is an attractive cancer therapeutic approach. In this study, new series of 4-anilinothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidines were designed, synthesized, and tested as dual EGFR/HER-2 kinase inhibitors. Five compounds (8a, 8b, 8e–g) demonstrated low to submicromolar inhibition of both kinases with IC50 values of 1.2, 0.6, 0.3, 0.2, 0.4 μM and 8.2, 3.4, 1.3, 0.5, 2.7 μM for the EGFR and HER-2, respectively. Introduction of a 5,6-tetramethylene moiety into the thienopyrimidine core bearing a 4-(3-fluorobenzyloxy)-3-chloroaniline tail resulted in a favorable increase in both the EGFR and HER-2 inhibitory activities. Compound 8f (IC50 EGFR/HER-2: 0.2/0.5 μM) also exhibited significant cell growth inhibition on some specific NCI cell lines, especially ovarian, breast, non-small-cell lung cancer, and renal cancer cell lines.

- Design, synthesis, X-ray crystallographic analysis, and biological evaluation of thiazole derivatives as potent and selective inhibitors of human dihydroorotate dehydrogenase
-
Human dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (HsDHODH) is a flavin-dependent mitochondrial enzyme that has been certified as a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases. On the basis of lead compound 4, which was previously identified as potential HsDHODH inhibitor, a novel series of thiazole derivatives were designed and synthesized. The X-ray complex structures of the promising analogues 12 and 33 confirmed that these inhibitors bind at the putative ubiquinone binding tunnel and guided us to explore more potent inhibitors, such as compounds 44, 46, and 47 which showed double digit nanomolar activities of 26, 18, and 29 nM, respectively. Moreover, 44 presented considerable anti-inflammation effect in vivo and significantly alleviated foot swelling in a dose-dependent manner, which disclosed that thiazole-scaffold analogues can be developed into the drug candidates for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis by suppressing the bioactivity of HsDHODH.

- Protozoan Parasite Growth Inhibitors Discovered by Cross-Screening Yield Potent Scaffolds for Lead Discovery
-
Tropical protozoal infections are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide; four in particular (human African trypanosomiasis (HAT), Chagas disease, cutaneous leishmaniasis, and malaria) have an estimated combined burden of over 87 million disability-adjusted life years. New drugs are needed for each of these diseases. Building on the previous identification of NEU-617 (1) as a potent and nontoxic inhibitor of proliferation for the HAT pathogen (Trypanosoma brucei), we have now tested this class of analogs against other protozoal species: T. cruzi (Chagas disease), Leishmania major (cutaneous leishmaniasis), and Plasmodium falciparum (malaria). Based on hits identified in this screening campaign, we describe the preparation of several replacements for the quinazoline scaffold and report these inhibitors' biological activities against these parasites. In doing this, we have identified several potent proliferation inhibitors for each pathogen, such as 4-((3-chloro-4-((3-fluorobenzyl)oxy)phenyl)amino)-6-(4-((4-methyl-1,4-diazepan-1-yl)sulfonyl)phenyl)quinoline-3-carbonitrile (NEU-924, 83) for T. cruzi and N-(3-chloro-4-((3-fluorobenzyl)oxy)phenyl)-7-(4-((4-methyl-1,4-diazepan-1-yl)sulfonyl)phenyl)cinnolin-4-amine (NEU-1017, 68) for L. major and P. falciparum.

- Optimization and SAR for dual ErbB-1/ErbB-2 tyrosine kinase inhibition in the 6-furanylquinazoline series
-
Synthetic modifications on a 6-furanylquinazoline scaffold to optimize the dual ErbB-1/ErbB-2 tyrosine kinase inhibition afforded consistent SAR whereby a 4-(3-fluorobenzyloxy)-3-haloanilino provided the best enzyme potency and cellular selectivity. Changes made to the 6-furanyl group had little impact on the enzyme activity, but appeared to dramatically affect the cellular efficacy. The discovery of lapatinib emerged from this work.
