- 5-Aminothiophene-2,4-dicarboxamide analogues as hepatitis B virus capsid assembly effectors
-
Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection represents a major health threat. Current FDA-approved drugs do not cure HBV. Targeting HBV core protein (Cp) provides an attractive approach toward HBV inhibition and possibly infection cure. We have previously identified and characterized a 5-amino-3-methylthiophene-2,4-dicarboxamide (ATDC) compound as a structurally novel hit for capsid assembly effectors (CAEs). We report herein hit validation through studies on absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) properties and pharmacokinetics (PK), and hit optimization via analogue synthesis aiming to probe the structure-activity relationship (SAR) and structure-property relationship (SPR). In the end, these medicinal chemistry efforts led to the identification of multiple analogues strongly binding to Cp, potently inhibiting HBV replication in nanomolar range without cytotoxicity, and exhibiting good oral bioavailability (F). Two of our analogues, 19o (EC50 = 0.11 μM, CC50 > 100 μM, F = 25%) and 19k (EC50 = 0.31 μM, CC50 > 100 μM, F = 46%), displayed overall lead profiles superior to reported CAEs 7–10 used in our studies.

- Synthesis, cytotoxic characterization, and SAR study of imidazo[1,2-b]pyrazole-7-carboxamides
-
The synthesis and in vitro cytotoxic characteristics of new imidazo[1,2-b]pyrazole-7-carboxamides were investigated. Following a hit-to-lead optimization exploiting 2D and 3D cultures of MCF-7 human breast, 4T1 mammary gland, and HL-60 human promyelocytic leukemia cancer cell lines, a 67-membered library was constructed and the structure–activity relationship (SAR) was determined. Seven synthesized analogues exhibited sub-micromolar activities, from which compound 63 exerted the most significant potency with a remarkable HL-60 sensitivity (IC50 = 0.183 μM).

- Promiscuity and selectivity in covalent enzyme inhibition: A systematic study of electrophilic fragments
-
Covalent ligand-target interactions offer significant pharmacological advantages. However, off-target reactivity of the reactive groups, which usually have electrophilic properties, must be minimized, and the selectivity of irreversible inhibitors is a crucial requirement. We therefore performed a systematic study to determine the selectivity of several electrophilic groups that can be used as building blocks for covalently binding ligands. Six reactive groups with modulated electrophilicity were combined with 11 nonreactive moieties, resulting in a small combinatorial library of 72 fragment-like compounds. These compounds were screened against a group of 11 enzyme targets to assess their selectivity and their potential for promiscuous binding to proteins. The assay results showed a considerably lower degree of promiscuity than initially expected, even for those members of the screening collection that contain supposedly highly reactive electrophiles.

- Synthesis of resveratrol acrylamides derivatives and biological evaluation of their anti-proliferative effect on cancer cell lines
-
A new series of resveratrol acrylamides amine derivatives was designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their anti-proliferative activity against three cancer cell lines including human chronic myelocytic leukemia cell K562, human hepatoma HuH-7 and human lung carcinoma A549. Most of the compounds showed superior activity against three cell lines when compared to parent resveratrol. C13 had the best anti-tumor activity against the HuH-7 cell line and its IC 50 was 4.5 μmol/L; C16 had the best anti-tumor activity against the K562 cell line and its IC50 was 2.9 μmol/L; C18 had the best anti-tumor activity against the A549 cell line and its IC50 was 3.8 μmol/L. It could be seen that the activity of the aromatic amine derivatives was better than the fatty amine derivatives by analyzing the experimental data.
