Cathepsin K is a major drug target for osteoporosis and related-bone disorders. Using a combination of virtual combinatorial chemistry, QSAR modeling, and molecular docking studies, a series of cathepsin K inhibitors based on N-(functionalized benzoyl)-homocycloleucyl-glycinonitrile scaffold was developed. In order to avoid previous problems of cathepsin K inhibitors associated with lysosomotropism of compounds with basic character that resulted in off-target effects, a weakly- to nonbasic moiety was incorporated into the P3 position. Compounds 5, 6, and 9 were highly selective for cathepsin K when compared with cathepsins L and S, with the Ki values in the 10-30 nM range. The kinetic studies revealed that the new compounds exhibited reversible tight binding to cathepsin K, while the X-ray structural studies showed covalent and noncovalent binding between the nitrile group and the catalytic cysteine (Cys25) site.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a slow-progressing disease of the brain characterized by symptoms such as impairment of memory and other cognitive functions. AD is associated with an inflammatory process that involves astrocytes and microglial cells, among other components. Astrocytes are the most abundant type of glial cells in the central nervous system (CNS). They are involved in inducing neuroinflammation. The present study uses astrocyte-neuron cocultures to investigate how ARN14494, a serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT) inhibitor, affects the CNS in terms of anti-inflammation and neuroprotection. SPT is the first rate-limiting enzyme in the de novo ceramide synthesis pathway. Consistent evidence suggests that ceramide is increased in AD brain patients. After β-amyloid 1-42 injury in an in vitro model of AD, ARN14494 inhibits SPT activity and the synthesis of long-chain ceramides and dihydroceramides that are involved in AD progression. In mouse primary cortical astrocytes, ARN14494 prevents the synthesis of proinflammatory cytokines TNFα and IL1β, growth factor TGFβ1, and oxidative stress-related enzymes iNOS and COX2. ARN14494 also exerts neuroprotective properties in primary cortical neurons. ARN14494 decreases neuronal death and caspase-3 activation in neurons, when the neuroinflammation is attenuated in astrocytes. These findings suggest that ARN14494 protects neurons from β-amyloid 1-42 induced neurotoxicity through a variety of mechanisms, including antioxidation, antiapoptosis, and anti-inflammation. SPT inhibition could therefore be a safe therapeutic strategy for ameliorating the pathology of Alzheimer's disease.

Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare and potentially life-threatening disease that affects an estimated 1 in 50000 individuals worldwide. Until recently, prophylactic HAE treatment options were limited to injectables, a burdensome administration route that has driven the need for an oral treatment. A substantial body of evidence has shown that potent and selective plasma kallikrein inhibitors that block the generation of bradykinin represent a promising approach for the treatment of HAE. Berotralstat (BCX7353, discovered by BioCryst Pharmaceuticals using a structure-guided drug design strategy) is a synthetic plasma kallikrein inhibitor that is potent and highly selective over other structurally related serine proteases. This once-daily, small-molecule drug is the first orally bioavailable prophylactic treatment for HAE attacks, having successfully completed a Phase III clinical trial (meeting its primary end point) and recently receiving the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's approval for the prophylactic treatment of HAE attacks in patients 12 years and older.

A new process to synthesis of compound OBI-3424 R-form and S-form products is provided. The "R-form" compound OBI-3423 was first synthesized with 48% overall yield from compound OBI-3424-5 by installation of the labile phosphate motif at later stage. The stereo chemistry is established by 5 steps chemo-enzyme combination synthesis to afford 99% optical purity, After then, the "S-form" compound OBI-3424 is prepared with improving overall yield of 54% from compound OBI-3424-5. The stereo chemistry is established by 4 steps combination of chemo-enzyme synthesis with excellent optical purity of 99%.

Lowering the pKa of a bisimidazoline lead with halogen atoms results in improved activity and selectivity against Trypanosoma brucei in vitro

Diphenyl-based bis(2-iminoimidazolidines) are promising antiprotozoal agents that are curative in mouse models of stage 1 trypanosomiasis but devoid of activity in the late-stage disease, possibly due to poor brain penetration caused by their dicationic nature. We present here a strategy consisting in reducing the pKa of the basic 2-iminoimidazolidine groups though the introduction of chlorophenyl, fluorophenyl and pyridyl ring in the structure of the trypanocidal lead 4-(imidazolidin-2-ylideneamino)-N-(4-(imidazolidin-2-ylideneamino)phenyl)benzamide (1). The new compounds showed reduced pKa values (in the range 1-3 pKa units) for the imidazolidine group linked to the substituted phenyl ring. In vitro activities (EC50) against wild type and resistant strains of T. b. brucei (s427 and B48, respectively) were in the submicromolar range with four compounds being more active and selective than 1 (SI > 340). In particular, the two most potent compounds (3b and 5a) acted approximately 6-times faster than 1 to kill trypanosomes in vitro. No cross-resistance with the diamidine and melaminophenyl class of trypanocides was observed indicating that these compounds represent interesting leads for further in vivo studies.
