Sphingosine kinase (SphK)-catalyzed production of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) regulates cell growth, survival and proliferation as well as inflammatory status in animals. In recent study we reported the N′-(3-(benzyloxy)benzylidene)-3,4,5-trihydroxybenzohydrazide scaffold as a potent SphK inhibitor. As a continuation of these efforts, 51 derivatives were synthesized and evaluated by SphK1/2 inhibitory activities for structure-activity relationship (SAR) study. Among them, 33 was identified as the most potent SphK inhibitor. Potency of 33 was also observed to efficiently decrease SphK1/2 expression in human colorectal cancer cells (HCT116) and significantly inhibit dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis as well as the decreased expression of interleukin (IL)-6 and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in mouse models. Collectively, 33 was validated as an effective SphK inhibitor, which can be served as anti-inflammatory agent to probably treat inflammatory bowel diseases in human.

The synthesis and CysLT1 antagonistic activities of a new series of 2- , 3-, and 4-(2-quinolinylmethoxy)- and 3- and 4-[2-(2-quinolinyl)ethenyl]- substituted, 2'-, 3'-, 4'-, or 5'-carboxylated chalcones are described. Structure-activity relationship studies indicate a preference for the presence of a negatively charged (acidic) moiety, although in some cases nitrile or ester analogues also exhibit moderate activity. The quinoline moiety may be substituted at either the 3- or the 4-position. Replacement of this heterocycle by other aromatic groups results in compounds with comparable affinities [2-(7-chloroquinoline), 1-(1-methyl-2-benzimidazole), or 1-(2-benzothiazole)] or substantially lower activities [1-(1- ethoxyethyl)-2-benzimidazole, 2-naphthyl, or phenyl]. The quinoline and chalcone moieties may be connected by either an ethenyl or a methoxy spacer. The acidic moiety at the chalcone B ring may be attached to the 2'-, 3'-, 4'- , or 5'-position, for both the 3- and 4-substituted chalcones. There are no general patterns to specify which substitution positions gave the most potent compounds. The series contains several potent CysLT1 receptor antagonists, with K(D) values approaching the nanomolar range, as measured by the displacement of [3H]LTD4 from guinea pig lung membranes. Antagonism of LTD4-induced contraction of guinea pig ileum, the inhibition of antigen- induced contraction of guinea pig trachea in vitro, and the inhibition of LTD4-induced increase of vascular permeability in vivo are determined for chalcones with high CysLT1 receptor affinities (K(D) values below 0.1μM). 2'-Hydroxy-4-(2-quinolinylmethoxy)-5'-(5-tetrazolyl)chalcone (14, VUF 4819) showed good activity in both in vitro and in vivo assays and has been selected for further evaluation.
