- Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of novel 2,4-disubstituted quinazoline derivatives targeting H1975 cells via EGFR-PI3K signaling pathway
-
In order to find new and highly effective anti-tumor drugs with targeted therapeutic effects, a series of novel 4-aminoquinazoline derivatives containing N-phenylacetamide structure were designed, synthesized and evaluated for antitumor activity against four human cancer cell lines (H1975, PC-3, MDA-MB-231 and MGC-803) using MTT assay. The results showed that the compound 19e had the most potent antiproliferative activity against H1975, PC-3, MDA-MB-231 and MGC-803 cell lines. At the same time, compound 19e could significantly inhibit the colony formation and migration of H1975 cells. Compound 19e also arrested the H1975 cell cycle in the G1 phase and mediated cell apoptosis, promoted the accumulation of ROS in H1975 cells. Furthermore, compound 19e exerted antitumor effect in vitro by reducing the expression of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 and increasing the pro-apoptotic protein Bax and p53. Mechanistically, compound 19e could significantly decreased the phosphorylation of EGFR and its downstream protein PI3K in H1975 cells. Which indicated that compound 19e targeted H1975 cell via interfering with EGFR-PI3K signaling pathway. Molecular docking showed that compound 19e could bind into the active pocket of EGFR. Those work suggested that compound 19e would have remarkable implications for further design of anti-tumor agents.

- A catalyst-free method for the synthesis of 1,4,2-dithiazoles from isothiocyanates and hydroxylamine triflic acid salts
-
A catalyst-free method for the preparation of 1,4,2-dithiazoles is developed by reactions of isothiocyanates with hydroxylamine triflic acid salts. This reaction achieves C-S, C-N, and S-N bond formation, and a range of products are obtained in moderate to good yields. The obvious feature is using shelf-stable hydroxylamine triflic acid salts as a N source to synthesize heterocycles under mild conditions.

- Synthesis and biological evaluation of innovative thiourea derivatives as PHGDH inhibitors
-
In order to discover novel compounds with inhibitory activity against 3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH), a series of thiourea derivatives were designed and synthesized based on the structural modification of compound 5d. Compound 5d emerged from the visual database of ChemDiv of 200,000 small molecules by docking score ranking. Inhibition experiments on PHGDH activity of newly synthesized compounds were performed in vitro. Compounds with more than 30percent inhibitory rate at 25?μM on PHGDH were screened for IC50 measurement. Anti-proliferative activity of 4a, 5a, 6e, 6n against A2780, MDA-MB-468, MDA-MB-231 and HEK293T in vitro was evaluated. The results showed that the compound 4a displayed the best inhibitory activity on PHGDH among the newly synthesized compounds, and the compounds 4a, 5a, 6n had a better proliferation inhibition effect on human A2780 cell line than NCT-503 reported previously. In addition, 2D interaction diagrams revealed potential action modes of active compounds with PHGDH.

- Discovery of novel anti-angiogenesis agents. Part 6: Multi-targeted RTK inhibitors
-
Angiogenesis is modulated by a multitude of pro-angiogenic factors including VEGFR-2, Tie-2, and EphB4. Moreover, their crosstalk also had been well elaborated. We have identified several diarylurea-based VEGFR-2 inhibitors as potential anti-angiogenesis agents. As a continuation to our previous research, two series of diaryl malonamide and diaryl thiourea derivatives have been developed as multiplex VEGFR-2/Tie-2/EphB4 inhibitors. Interestingly, the biological evaluation indicated that several compounds bearing trifluoromethyl or trifluoromethoxyl exhibited promising multiplex inhibition against angiogenesis-related VEGFR-2, Tie-2, and EphB4. The representative compound (18a) displayed both potent multi-targeted RTK inhibition and considerable antiproliferative activities against human umbilical vein endothelial cells (EA.hy926). These results will contribute to the discovery of novel muti-targeted anti-angiogenesis agents.

- Discovery of novel anti-angiogenesis agents. Part 8: Diaryl thiourea bearing 1H-indazole-3-amine as multi-target RTKs inhibitors
-
VEGFR-2, TIE-2, and EphB4 are essential for both angiogenesis and tumorigenesis. Herein, we designed and prepared three classes of multi-target inhibitors based on the extensive sequence homology along the kinase domain of angiogenic RTKs. Biological evaluation indicated that these multi-target inhibitors exhibited considerable potential as novel anti-angiogeneic and anticancer agents. Among them, a diaryl thiourea bearing 1H-indazole-3-amine (16a) displayed the most potent RTK inhibition and excellent selectivity. It also showed inhibition on viability of human umbilical vein endothelial cells and anti-proliferation against a broad spectrum of cancer cells. Therefore, 1H-indazole-3-amine could serve as a promising hinge binding group for multi-target inhibitors of VEGFR-2, Tie-2, and EphB4.

- Synthesis and biological evaluation of terminal functionalized thiourea-containing dipeptides as antitumor agents
-
A series of antitumor agents based on terminal functionalized dipeptide derivatives containing the thiourea moiety were synthesized and evaluated for antiproliferative activity using a panel of cancer cell lines, and the effects and mechanism of apoptosis induction were determined. These compounds exhibited significant selectivity to different cancer cell lines with IC50 values at micromolar concentrations. In particular, compound I-11 appeared to be the most potent compound, with an IC50 = 4.85 ± 1.44 μM against the NCI-H460 cell line, at least partly, by the induction of apoptosis. Mechanistically, compound I-11 induced the activation of caspase-12 and CHOP, which triggered apoptotic signalling via the ROS-dependent endoplasmic reticulum pathway and arrested the cell cycle at the S phase. Thus, we concluded that dipeptide derivatives containing the thiourea moiety terminally functionalized by electron-withdrawing substituents may be potential antitumor agents for further investigation.

- Antischistosomal activity of N,N′-arylurea analogs against Schistosoma japonicum
-
Although the antischistosomal activities of N,N′-arylurea analogs were reported, systematic structure-activity relationships have not been conducted. In this Letter, we reported the design, synthesis and evaluation of 45 N,N′-arylurea analogs. Among these prepared compounds, 13 compounds were urea linker modified and 32 were N,N′-arylurea derivatives. The activity evaluation revealed 12 analogs exhibited IC50 values lower than 22.6 μM, and 7 of them had IC50 less than 10 μM against the juvenile Schistosoma japonicum in vitro. Their worm killing potency was even higher against adult worm. Unfortunately, low to moderate worm burden reduction of 0-33.4% was recorded after administration of a single oral dose of 200 mg/kg or 400 mg/kg to mice harboring S. japonicum.

A series of 4-phenylthieno[2, 3-e][1, 2, 4]triazolo[4, 3-a]pyrimidine-5 (4H)-ones (5a-p) with triazole or other heterocyclic substituents (6-11) was synthesized and the compounds were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory activity using the xylene-induced ear-edema test. Pharmacological analyses showed that the compound 4- (4-chlorophenyl)thieno[2, 3-e][1, 2, 4]triazolo[4, 3-a]pyrimidine- 5 (4H)-one (5m) exhibited the greatest anti-inflammatory activity (50.48% inhibition, 30 min after intraperitoneal administration) and was more potent than the reference drug, indomethacin. The peak activity of 5m was observed 4 h after oral administration, and it showed a higher anti-inflammatory activity than indomethacin did at a dose of 100 mg/kg.

- 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.

- Design, synthesis and in vitro evaluation of novel ursolic acid derivatives as potential anticancer agents
-
A series of novel ursolic acid (UA) derivatives modified at the C-3 and the C-28 positions were designed and synthesized in an attempt to develop potential antitumor agents. The in vitro cytotoxicity were evaluated against five cancer cell lines (MGC-803, HCT-116, T24, HepG2 and A549 cell lines) and a normal cell (HL-7702) by MTT assay. The screening results indicated that some of these target compounds displayed moderate to high levels of antiproliferative activities compared with ursolic acid and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), and exhibited much lower cytotoxicity than 5-FU, indicating that the targeted compounds had selective and significant effect on the cell lines. The induction of apoptosis and affects on the cell cycle distribution of compound 6r were investigated by acridine orange/ethidium bromide staining, Hoechst 33258 staining, JC-1 mitochondrial membrane potential staining and flow cytometry, which revealed that the antitumor activity of 6r was possibly achieved through the induction of cell apoptosis by G1 cell-cycle arrest. Western blot and qRT-PCR (quantitative real-time PCR) experiments demonstrated that compound 6r may induce apoptosis through both of intrinsic and extrinsic apoptosis pathway.

- Structure-activity relationships (SAR) research of thiourea derivatives as dual inhibitors targeting both HIV-1 capsid and human cyclophilin A
-
HIV-1 capsid (CA) and human cyclophilin A (CypA) play important roles in HIV-1 assembly and disassembly processes, which are critical in HIV-1 replication. Based on the discovery of thiourea derivatives targeting both of the two proteins and indicating effective inhibitory activities in our group, we designed and synthesized a new class of thiourea derivatives. Their abilities to bind to capsid and cyclophilin A were determined by ultraviolet spectroscopic analysis, fluorescence binding affinity, and PPIase inhibition assay. Furthermore, the newly synthesized compounds were tested for their antiviral activities and cytotoxicities using CEM cells. According to the biological evaluation and subsequent molecular docking analyses, we studied the structure-activity relationships of thiourea derivatives. Three optimal compounds (K17, K24, K25) based on the achieved structure-activity relationships would be the basis for future optimization.

- Synthesis and pesticidal properties of thio and seleno analogs of some common urea herbicides
-
Thio and seleno analogs of fenuron, isoproturon, chlorotoluron, metoxuron, monuron, and diuron were synthesized from the corresponding aryl amines. Their reaction with thiophosgene leads to isothiocyanates. Aryl amines were also converted (via isocyanides) to isoselenocyanates. The reaction of both isothio- and isoselenocyanates with dimethylamine affords the corresponding thio and seleno analogs of the above-mentioned urea herbicides. Herbicidal activity of the synthesized compounds was slightly lower than the activity of the parent urea herbicides. The thio and seleno analogs as well as the parent ureas showed good fungicidal activity at a concentration of 200 ppm against selected fungi.

- Synthesis and structure-activity relationships of novel phenylcyanoguanidine derivatives as potassium channel openers
-
3,5-Di-substituted phenylcyanoguanidine derivatives with halogen, cyano, and/or nitro groups at the 3- and 5-positions of the benzene ring exhibited very strong smooth muscle relaxation activity in vitro, as compared to pinacidil. Among them, N-(3-chloro-5-cyanophenyl)-N'-cyano-N''-tert- pentylguanidine (5s) showed 27-fold more potent activity than pinacidil, and exhibited a stronger and more lasting antihypertensive effect than pinacidil by oral administration to spontaneously hypertensive rats. We propose a new pharmacophore model in which the essential factors for binding to the potassium channel are an NH and a bulky alkyl group.

- Synthesis and evaluation of N-substituted cis-N-methyl-2-(1-pyrrolidinyl)cyclohexylamines as high affinity σ receptor ligands. Identification of a new class of highly potent and selective σ receptor probes
-
Certain benzeneacetamides [(-)- and (+)-cis-3,4-dichloro-N-methyl-N-[2-(1-pyrrolidinyl)cyclohexyl]benzenea cetamide] were recently reported to be potent σ receptor ligands. In order to determine whether efficacy for the σ receptor could be improved, a series of compounds related to the benzeneacetamides, N-substituted cis-2-(1-pyrrolidinyl)-N-methylcyclohexylamines, were synthesized and their structure-activity requirements were determined. The compounds were synthesized by starting with the previously reported (±)-, 1S,2R-(+)-, and 1R,2S-(-)-cis-2-(1-pyrrolidinyl)-N-methylcyclohexylamines. Analysis of σ ([3H](+)-3-PPP), κ ([3H]bremazocine and [3H]U69,593), dopamine-d2 ([3H](-)-sulpiride), and phencyclidine (PCP) ([3H]TCP) receptor binding in guinea pig brain revealed a number of highly potent and selective σ receptor ligands. Notably, 1S,2R-cis-(-)-N-methyl-N-[2-(1-pyrrolidinyl)cyclohexyl]-(2-naphthyl)ac etamide [(-)-29] (K(i) = 8.66 ± 0.35 nM), (±)-cis-2-amino-4,5-dichloro-N-methyl-N-[2-(1-pyrrolidinyl)cyclohexyl ]benzeneacetamide [(±)-17] (K(i) = 11 ± 3 nM), 1S,2R-(-)-cis-N-methyl-N-[2-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)ethyl]-2-(1-pyrrolidin yl)cyclohexylamine [(-)-44] (K(i) = 1.3 ± 0.3 nM), and 1R,2S-(+)-cis-N-methyl-N-[2-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)ethyl]-2-(1-pyrrolidin yl)cyclohexylamine. [(+)-44] (K(i) = 6 ± 3 nM) exhibited very high affinity at σ receptors, by displacement of [3H]-(+)-3-(3-hydroxyphenyl)-N-(1-propyl)piperidine ([3H]-(+)-3-PPP). These compounds showed significant affinity for κ, dopamine, or PCP receptors, making them valuable tools for the study of σ receptors. Furthermore, these compounds also exhibited enantioselectivity ranging from 5-fold for (+)- and (-)-44 to 160-fold for (+)- and (-)-29. Several other compounds showed equivalent selectivity but displayed lower σ receptor affinity.
