- 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.

- Structure-activity relationships of 2-aminothiazoles effective against Mycobacterium tuberculosis
-
A series of 2-aminothiazoles was synthesized based on a HTS scaffold from a whole-cell screen against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). The SAR shows the central thiazole moiety and the 2-pyridyl moiety at C-4 of the thiazole are intolerant to modification. However, the N-2 position of the aminothiazole exhibits high flexibility and we successfully improved the antitubercular activity of the initial hit by more than 128-fold through introduction of substituted benzoyl groups at this position. N-(3-Chlorobenzoyl)-4-(2-pyridinyl) -1,3-thiazol-2-amine (55) emerged as one of the most promising analogues with a MIC of 0.024 μM or 0.008 μg/mL in 7H9 media and therapeutic index of nearly ～300. However, 55 is rapidly metabolized by human liver microsomes (t1/2 = 28 min) with metabolism occurring at the invariant aminothiazole moiety and Mtb develops spontaneous low-level resistance with a frequency of ～10-5.

- QSAR modeling of synthesized 3-(1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl) 2-phenyl quinazolin-4(3H)-ones as potent antibacterial agents
-
Present communication elicits the designing and synthesis of 3-(1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl) 2-phenyl quinazolin-4(3H)-ones as potential antibacterial agents. A number of substituted 2-amino benzothiazoles, 2-amino-5-[(E)-phenyl diazenyl] benzoic acid, and 2-phenyl-4H benzo[d] [1,3] oxazin-4-one were synthesized as the precursor substrates. The compounds were synthesized in excellent yields and the structures were corroborated on the basis of IR, 1H NMR, Mass, and elemental analysis data. These compounds were screened in vitro for their antibacterial activity against a representative panel of Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria and models were generated through quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR).The activity contributions due to structural and substituent effects were determined using sequential regression procedure. The antimicrobial assay data show that the synthesized compounds are found to manifest profound antimicrobial activity. Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2011.

- A library of novel allosteric inhibitors against fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase
-
The identification of a proper lead compound for fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase) is a critical step in the process of developing novel therapeutics against type-2 diabetes. Herein, we have successfully generated a library of allosteric inhibitors against FBPase as potential anti-diabetic drugs, of which, the lead compound 1b was identified through utilizing a virtual high-throughput screening (vHTS) system, which we have developed. The thiazole-based core structure was synthesized via the condensation of α-bromo-ketones with thioureas and substituents on the two aryl rings were varied. 4c was found to inhibit pig kidney FBPase approximately fivefold better than 1b. In addition, we have also identified 10b, a tight binding fragment, which can be use for fragment-based drug design purposes.

- Design, synthesis, cytoselective toxicity, structure-activity relationships, and pharmacophore of thiazolidinone derivatives targeting drug-resistant lung cancer cells
-
Ten cytoselective compounds have been identified from 372 thiazolidinone analogues by applying iterative library approaches. These compounds selectively killed both non-small cell lung cancer cell line H460 and its paclitaxel-resistant variant H460taxR at an IC50 between 0.21 and 2.93 μM while showing much less toxicity to normal human fibroblasts at concentrations up to 195 μM. Structure-activity relationship studies revealed that (1) the nitrogen atom on the 4-thiazolidinone ring (ring B in Figure 1) cannot be substituted, (2) several substitutions on ring A are tolerated at various positions, and (3) the substitution on ring C is restricted to the -NMe2 group at the 4-position. A pharmacophore derived from active molecules suggested that two hydrogen bond acceptors and three hydrophobic regions were common features. Activities against P-gp-overexpressing and paclitaxel-resistant cell line H460taxR and modeling using a previously validated P-gp substrate pharmacophore suggested that active compounds were not likely P-gp substrates.
