- Discovery of Novel pERK1/2- or β-Arrestin-Preferring 5-HT1AReceptor-Biased Agonists: Diversified Therapeutic-like versus Side Effect Profile
-
Novel 1-(1-benzoylpiperidin-4-yl)methanamine derivatives with high affinity and selectivity for serotonin 5-HT1A receptors were obtained and tested in four functional assays: ERK1/2 phosphorylation, adenylyl cyclase inhibition, calcium mobilization, and β-arrestin recruitment. Compounds 44 and 56 (2-methylaminophenoxyethyl and 2-(1H-indol-4-yloxy)ethyl derivatives, respectively) were selected as biased agonists with highly differential "signaling fingerprints"that translated into distinct in vivo profiles. In vitro, 44 showed biased agonism for ERK1/2 phosphorylation and, in vivo, it preferentially exerted an antidepressant-like effect in the Porsolt forced swimming test in rats. In contrast, compound 56 exhibited a first-in-class profile: it preferentially and potently activated β-arrestin recruitment in vitro and potently elicited lower lip retraction in vivo, a component of "serotonergic syndrome". Both compounds showed promising developability properties. The presented 5-HT1A receptor-biased agonists, preferentially targeting various signaling pathways, have the potential to become drug candidates for distinct central nervous system pathologies and possessing accentuated therapeutic activity and reduced side effects.

- Identification of N-Benzyl 3,5-Dinitrobenzamides Derived from PBTZ169 as Antitubercular Agents
-
A series of benzamide scaffolds were designed and synthesized by the thiazinone ring opening of PBTZ169, and N-benzyl 3,5-dinitrobenzamides were finally identified as anti-TB agents in this work. 3,5-Dinitrobenzamides D5, 6, 7, and 12 exhibit excellent in vitro activity against the drug susceptive Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv strain (MIC: 0.0625 μg/mL) and two clinically isolated multidrug-resistant strains (MIC 0.016-0.125 μg/mL). Compound D6 displays acceptable safety and better pharmacokinetic profiles than PBTZ169, suggesting its promising potential to be a lead compound for future antitubercular drug discovery.
