- Probing the ATP-Binding Pocket of Protein Kinase DYRK1A with Benzothiazole Fragment Molecules
-
DYRK1A has emerged as a potential target for therapies of Alzheimer's disease using small molecules. On the basis of the observation of selective DYRK1A inhibition by firefly d-luciferin, we have explored static and dynamic structural properties of fragment sized variants of the benzothiazole scaffold with respect to DYRK1A using X-ray crystallography and NMR techniques. The compounds have excellent ligand efficiencies and show a remarkable diversity of binding modes in dynamic equilibrium. Binding geometries are determined in part by interactions often considered "weak", including "orthogonal multipolar" types represented by, for example, F-CO, sulfur-aromatic, and halogen-aromatic interactions, together with hydrogen bonds that are modulated by variation of electron withdrawing groups. These studies show how the benzothiazole scaffold is highly promising for the development of therapeutic DYRK1A inhibitors. In addition, the subtleties of the binding interactions, including dynamics, show how full structural studies are required to fully interpret the essential physical determinants of binding.

- Multi-dimensional target profiling of N,4-diaryl-1,3-thiazole-2-amines as potent inhibitors of eicosanoid metabolism
-
Eicosanoids like leukotrienes and prostaglandins play a considerable role in inflammation. Produced within the arachidonic acid (AA) cascade, these lipid mediators are involved in the pathogenesis of pain as well as acute and chronic inflammatory diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and asthma. With regard to the lipid cross-talk within the AA pathway, a promising approach for an effective anti-inflammatory therapy is the development of inhibitors targeting more than one enzyme of this cascade. Within this study, thirty N-4-diaryl-1,3-thiazole-2- amine based compounds with different substitution patterns were synthesized and tested in various cell-based assays to investigate their activity and selectivity profile concerning five key enzymes involved in eicosanoid metabolism (5-, 12-, 15-lipoxygenase (LO), cyclooxygenase-1 and -2 (COX-1/-2)). With compound 7, 2-(4-phenyl)thiazol-2-ylamino)phenol (ST-1355), a multi-target ligand targeting all tested enzymes is presented, whereas compound 9, 2-(4-(4-chlorophenyl)thiazol-2-ylamino)phenol (ST-1705), represents a potent and selective 5-LO and COX-2 inhibitor with an IC50 value of 0.9 ± 0.2 μM (5-LO) and a residual activity of 9.1 ± 1.1% at 10 μM (COX-2 product formation). The promising characteristics and the additional non-cytotoxic profile of both compounds reveal new lead structures for the treatment of eicosanoid-mediated diseases.

- Design, synthesis and evaluation of 2-aminothiazole derivatives as sphingosine kinase inhibitors
-
Sphingosine kinases (SphK1, SphK2) are main regulators of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), which is a pleiotropic lipid mediator involved in numerous physiological and pathophysiological functions. SphKs are targets for novel anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory agents that can promote cell apoptosis and modulate autoimmune diseases. Herein, we describe the design, synthesis and evaluation of an aminothiazole class of SphK inhibitors. Potent inhibitors have been discovered through a series of modifications using the known SKI-II scaffold to define structure-activity relationships. We identified N-(4-methylthiazol-2-yl)-(2,4′-bithiazol)-2′-amine (24, ST-1803; IC50values: 7.3 μM (SphK1), 6.5 μM (SphK2)) as a promising candidate for further in vivo investigations and structural development.

- Substituted N-phenylisothioureas: Potent inhibitors of human nitric oxide synthase with neuronal isoform selectivity
-
S-Ethyl N-phenylisothiourea (4) has been found to be a potent inhibitor of both the human constitutive and inducible isoforms of nitric oxide synthase. A series of substituted N-phenylisothiourea analogues was synthesized to investigate the structure-activity relationship of this class of inhibitor. Each analogue was evaluated for human isoform selectivity. One analogue, S-ethyl N-[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]isothiourea (39), exhibited 115-fold and 29-fold selectivity for the neuronal isoform versus the inducible and endothelial derived constitutive isoforms, respectively. Studies have shown the substituted N-phenylisothiourea 39 binds competitively with L,-arginine.
