- Structure based design of novel inhibitors for histidinol dehydrogenase from Geotrichum candidum
-
Histidinol dehydrogenase, the product of the HisD gene, mediates the final step in the histidine biosynthetic pathway. This enzyme has captured attention for drug discovery studies in past few years. Recently, our group cloned and expressed Geotrichum candidum histidinol dehydrogenase and successful screening of substrate analog inhibitors of histidinol dehydrogenase led to some antifungal compounds with IC50 values in micromolar range. In this study, we have done docking analysis of these antifungal agents in G. candidum. Two new compounds were designed based on the docking results and these compounds turned out to be potent inhibitors of G. candidum histidinol dehydrogenase, showing IC50 values as low as 3.17 μM.

- Triazole ligands reveal distinct molecular features that induce histaine H4 receptor affinity and subtly govern H4/H3 subtype selectivity
-
The histamine H3 (H3R) and H4 (H 4R) receptors attract considerable interest from the medicinal chemistry community. Given their relatively high homology yet widely differing therapeutic promises, ligand selectivity for the two receptors is crucial. We interrogated H4R/H3R selectivities using ligands with a [1,2,3]triazole core. Cu(I)-assisted "click chemistry" was used to assemble diverse [1,2,3]triazole compounds (6a-w and 7a-f), many containing a peripheral imidazole group. The imidazole ring posed some problems in the click chemistry putatively due to Cu(II) coordination, but Boc protection of the imidazole and removal of oxygen from the reaction mixture provided effective strategies. Pharmacological studies revealed two monosubstituted imidazoles (6h,p) with 4R affinities and >10-fold H 4R/H3R selectivity. Both compounds possess a cycloalkylmethyl group and appear to target a lipophilic pocket in H 4R with high steric precision. The use of the [1,2,3]triazole scaffold is further demonstrated by the notion that simple changes in spacer length or peripheral groups can reverse the selectivity toward H3R. Computational evidence is provided to account for two key selectivity switches and to pinpoint a lipophilic pocket as an important handle for H4R over H3R selectivity.

- A novel series of (phenoxyalkyl)imidazoles as potent H3-receptor histamine antagonists
-
[[(4-Nitrophenyl)X]alkyl]imidazole isosteres (where X = NH, S, CH2S, O) of previously described [[(5-nitropyrid-2-yl)X]ethyl]imidazoles (where X = NH, S) have been synthesized and evaluated for H3-receptor histamine antagonism in vitro (K(i) for [3H]histamine release from rat cerebral cortex synaptosomes) and in vivo (ED50 per os in mice on brain tele- methylhistamine levels). Encouraging results led to the synthesis and testing of a novel series of substituted (phenoxyethyl)- and (phenoxypropyl)imidazoles. From the latter, 4-[3-(4-cyanophenoxy)propyl]-1H- imidazole (10a, UCL 1390; K(i) = 12 nM, ED50 = 0.54 mg/kg) and 4-[3-[4- (trifluoromethyl)-phenoxy]propyl]-1H-imidazole (10c, UCL 1409; K(i) = 14 nM, ED50 = 0.60 mg/kg) have been selected as potential candidates for drug development. For 16 [(aryloxy)ethyl]imidazoles the relationship between in vitro and in vivo potency is described by the equation log ED50 = 0.47 log K(i) + 0.20 (r = 0.78).
