- Harnessing the anti-nociceptive potential of nk2 and nk3 ligands in the design of new multifunctional μ/δ-opioid agonist–neurokinin antagonist peptidomimetics
-
Opioid agonists are well-established analgesics, widely prescribed for acute but also chronic pain. However, their efficiency comes with the price of drastically impacting side effects that are inherently linked to their prolonged use. To answer these liabilities, designed multiple ligands (DMLs) offer a promising strategy by co-targeting opioid and non-opioid signaling pathways involved in nociception. Despite being intimately linked to the Substance P (SP)/neurokinin 1 (NK1) system, which is broadly examined for pain treatment, the neurokinin receptors NK2 and NK3 have so far been neglected in such DMLs. Herein, a series of newly designed opioid agonist-NK2 or-NK3 antagonists is reported. A selection of reported peptidic, pseudo-peptidic, and non-peptide neurokinin NK2 and NK3 ligands were covalently linked to the peptidic μ-opioid selective pharma-cophore Dmt-DALDA (H-Dmt-D-Arg-Phe-Lys-NH2 ) and the dual μ/δ opioid agonist H-Dmt-D-Arg-Aba-βAla-NH2 (KGOP01). Opioid binding assays unequivocally demonstrated that only hybrids SBL-OPNK-5, SBL-OPNK-7 and SBL-OPNK-9, bearing the KGOP01 scaffold, conserved nanomo-lar range μ-opioid receptor (MOR) affinity, and slightly reduced affinity for the δ-opioid receptor (DOR). Moreover, NK binding experiments proved that compounds SBL-OPNK-5, SBL-OPNK-7, and SBL-OPNK-9 exhibited (sub)nanomolar binding affinity for NK2 and NK3, opening promising opportunities for the design of next-generation opioid hybrids.

- Piperazine compounds and medicinal use thereof
-
The present invention relates to a piperazine compound of the formula wherein R1and R2are each hydrogen, halogen, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, amino, substituted amino, nitro, hydroxy or cyano, R3, R4and R5are each hydrogen, halogen, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, nitro, amino, substituted amino or hydroxy, R6and R7are each hydrogen, lower alkyl, lower alkyl substituted by halogen, aralkyl, acyl or lower acyl substituted by halogen, R8and R9are each hydrogen or lower alkyl, Y is lower alkylene and the like, and ring A is phenyl, pyrimidyl, thiazolyl, pyridyl, pyrazyl or imidazolyl, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and pharmaceutical agents containing these compounds. The compound of the present invention has superior TNF-α production inhibitory effect and/or IL-10 production promoting effect, and, since it is free of or shows only strikingly reduced expression of an effect on the central nervous system, the compound is useful as a highly safe and superior TNF-α production inhibitor an/or IL-10 production promoter and is useful as an agent for the prophylaxis or treatment of various diseases caused by abnormal TNF-α production, diseases curable with IL-10, such as chronic inflammatory diseases, acute inflammatory diseases, inflammatory diseases due to infection, autoimmune diseases, allergic diseases, and TNF-α mediated diseases.

- Imidazole derivatives
-
The present invention relates to the imidazole derivative of the following formula (I) wherein R1 is hydrogen, optionally substituted alkyl and the like, R2 is hydrogen, optionally substituted alkyl and the like, R3is optionally substituted heteroaryl, R4 is optionally substituted cycloalkyl, optionally substituted phenyl and the like, provided that when R1 is hydrogen, and R2 and R4 are the same or different and each is phenyl or phenyl substituted by halogen atom, lower alkyl or lower alkoxy, R3 is benzothiazolyl or thiazolyl substituted by phenyl, the imidazole derivative of the following formula (XII) wherein R6 is optionally substituted phenyl or optionally substituted heteroaryl and R7 is substituted phenyl, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The compounds of the formulas (I) and (XII) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof of the present invention inhibit IL-4 and IL-5 production by Th2 cells and are effective for the prophylaxis and treatment of allergic diseases such as atopic dermatitis, bronchial asthma, allergic rhinitis and the like.

- Novel phenylpiperazine derivatives as dual cytokine regulators with TNF-α suppressing and IL-10 augmenting activity
-
Phenylpiperazine derivatives were synthesized as dual cytokine regulators with TNF-α suppressing and IL-10 augmenting activity. Lead optimization led to compound 5k having the potent regulatory activity and demonstrating remarkable protective effects against the lethal challenge of LPS in mice, suggesting that 5k would be a promising drug candidate for the treatment of TNF-α associated diseases including septic shock.

- Design and synthesis of benzoic acid derivatives as influenza neuraminidase inhibitors using structure-based drug design
-
A series of 94 benzoic acid derivatives was synthesized and tested for its ability to inhibit influenza neuraminidase. The enzyme-inhibitor complex structure was determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis for compounds which inhibited the enzyme. The most potent compound tested in vitro, 5 (4- (acetylamino)-3-guanidinobenzoic acid), had an IC50 = 2.5 x 10-6 M against N9 neuraminidase. Compound 5 was oriented in the active site of the neuraminidase in a manner that was not predicted from the reported active site binding of GANA (4) with neuraminidase. In a mouse model of influenza, 5 did not protect the mice from weight loss due to the influenza virus when dosed intranasally.
