Receptor-related orphan receptor γ (RORγ) has emerged as an attractive therapeutic target for the treatment of cancer and inflammatory diseases. Herein, we report our effort on the discovery, optimization, and evaluation of benzothiazole and benzimidazole derivatives as novel inverse agonists of RORγ. The representative compound27h(designated as XY123) potently inhibited the RORγ transcription activity with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) value of 64 nM and showed excellent selectivity against other nuclear receptors.27halso potently suppressed cell proliferation, colony formation, and the expression of androgen receptor (AR)-regulated genes in AR-positive prostate cancer cell lines. In addition,27hdemonstrated good metabolic stability and a pharmacokinetic property with reasonable oral bioavailability (32.41%) and moderate half-life (t1/2= 4.98 h). Significantly, oral administration of compound27hachieved complete and long-lasting tumor regression in the 22Rv1 xenograft tumor model in mice. Compound27hmay serve as a new valuable lead compound for further development of drugs for the treatment of prostate cancer.

Huntington's disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder caused by the aggregation of mutant huntingtin (mHtt), and removal of toxic mHtt is expected to be an effective therapeutic approach. We designed two small hybrid molecules (1 and 2) by linking a ligand for ubiquitin ligase (cellular inhibitor of apoptosis protein 1; cIAP1) with probes for mHtt aggregates, anticipating that these compounds would recruit cIAP1 to mHtt and induce selective degradation by the ubiquitin-proteasome system. The synthesized compounds reduced mHtt levels in HD patient fibroblasts and appear to be promising candidates for the development of a treatment for HD.

Abstract A simple and convenient approach to 2-(4-aminophenyl)benzothiazole derivatives by condensation of o-aminothiophenol with (un)substituted p-aminobenzoic acid under the action of melamine formaldehyde resin (MFR) supported sulfuric acid under microwave irradiation (MW) and solvent-free conditions has been developed. Structures of the corresponding products were elucidated by IR, 1H NMR spectra, and elemental analysis. The resin could be easily recovered and reused for subsequent reactions.
