We describe the optimization of modestly active starting points to potent inhibitors of BCL6 by growing into a subpocket, which was occupied by a network of five stably bound water molecules. Identifying potent inhibitors required not only forming new interactions in the subpocket but also perturbing the water network in a productive, potency-increasing fashion while controlling the physicochemical properties. We achieved this goal in a sequential manner by systematically probing the pocket and the water network, ultimately achieving a 100-fold improvement of activity. The most potent compounds displaced three of the five initial water molecules and formed hydrogen bonds with the remaining two. Compound 25 showed a promising profile for a lead compound with submicromolar inhibition of BCL6 in cells and satisfactory pharmacokinetic (PK) properties. Our work highlights the importance of finding productive ways to perturb existing water networks when growing into solvent-filled protein pockets.

Abstract: A new series of 6-substituted quinolin-2-one thiosemicarbazides 6a–j has been synthesized. The structure of the target compounds was proved by different spectroscopic and elemental analyses. All the designed final compounds were evaluated for their in vitro activity against the urease-producing R. mucilaginosa and Proteus mirabilis bacteria as fungal and bacterial pathogens, respectively. Moreover, all compounds were in vitro tested as potential urease inhibitors using the cup-plate diffusion method. Compounds 6a and 6b were the most active with (IC50 = 0.58 ± 0.15 and 0.43 ± 0.09?μM), respectively, in comparison with lead compound I (IC50 = 1.13 ± 0.00?μM). Also, the designed compounds were docked into urease proteins (ID: 3LA4 and ID: 4UBP) using Open Eye software to understand correctly about ligand–receptor interactions. The docking results revealed that the designed compounds can interact with the active site of the enzyme through multiple strong hydrogen bonds. Moreover, rapid overlay of chemical structures’ analysis was described to understand the 3D QSAR of synthesized compounds as urease inhibitors. The results emphasize the importance of polar thiosemicarbazide directly linked to 6-substituted quinolone moieties as promising antimicrobial urease inhibitors.

Chalcones derivatized with 1-(2-quinolonyl)-1,2,3-triazoles were synthesized by reaction of 4-azido-2-quinolones with 1-phenyl-3-(4-propargyloxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one, or by aldol reaction of 4-{[1-(2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinolin-4-yl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl]methoxy}benzaldehydes with acetophenone. Whereas, chalcones bearing two 1-(2-quinolonyl)-1,2,3-triazoles were synthesized by reaction of 1,3-bis(4-propargyloxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one with 4-azido-2-quinolones, or by aldol condensation between 4-{4-[(4-acetylphenoxy)methyl]-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl}quinolin-2(1H)-ones and 4-{[1-(2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinolin-4-yl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl]methoxy}benzaldehydes.

A new series of 6-substiuted-4-(2-(4-substituted-benzylidene)hydrazinyl)quinolin-2(1H)-one derivatives have been designed and synthesized. The structure of the synthesized compounds was proved by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, 2D NMR, mass and elemental analyses. The target compounds were evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxic activity against 60 cancer cell lines according to NCI protocol. Consequently, the most active compounds were further examined against the most sensitive leukemia RPMI-8226 and on healthy cell lines. 6-Chloro-derivative was the most active one; with IC50 = 15.72 ± 1.21 and 46.05 ± 2.36 μM against RPMI-8226 and normal cell lines, respectively. Also, it showed a remarkable inhibitory activity compared to gefitinib on the EGFR TK mutant, wild and on H-RAS in addition to STAT-3 with IC50 = 695.49 ± 21.8, 263.15 ± 15.13, 10.61 ± 0.27 and 1.753 ± 0.81 nM, respectively. Cell cycle analysis of RPMI-8226 cells treated with the 6-chloro-derivative showed cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase (supported by Caspases-3,8, BAX and Bcl-2 studies) with a significant pro-apoptotic activity as indicated by annexin V-FITC staining. Moreover, the docking studies ROCS analysis and Tanimoto scores supported the results. The study illustrated the effect of several factors on compounds activity.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive, life-threatening and interstitial lung disease with the median survival of only 3–5 years. However, due to the unclear etiology and problems in accurate diagnosis, up to now only two drugs were approved by FDA for the treatment of IPF and their outcome responses are limited. Numerous studies have shown that TGF-β is the most important cytokine in the development of pulmonary fibrosis and plays a role through its downstream signaling molecule TGF-binding receptor Smads protein. In this paper, compounds bearing 2(1H)-quinolone scaffold were designed and their anti-fibrosis effects were evaluated. Of these compounds, 20f was identified as the most active one and could inhibit TGF-β-induced collagen deposition of NRK-49F cells and mouse fibroblasts migration with comparable activity and lower cytotoxicity than nintedanib in vitro. Further mechanism studies indicated that 20f reduced the expression of fibrogenic phenotypic protein α-SMA and collagen Ⅰ by inhibiting the TGF-β/Smad dependent pathways and ERK1/2 and p38 pathways. Moreover, compared with the nintedanib, 20f (100 mg/kg/day, p.o) more effectively alleviated collagen deposition in lung tissue and delayed the destruction of lung tissue structure both in bleomycin-induced prevention and treatment mice pulmonary fibrosis models. The immunohistochemical experiments further showed that 20f could block the expression level of phosphorylated Smad3 in the lung tissue cells, which resulted in its anti-fibrosis effects in vivo. In addition, 20f demonstrated good bioavailability (F = 41.55% vs 12%, compare with nintedanib) and an appropriate elimination half-life (T1/2 = 3.5 h), suggesting that 20f may be a potential drug candidate for the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis.

Two new series of diethyl 2-[2-(substituted-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinolin-4-yl)hydrazono]-succinates 6a-g and 1-(2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinolin-4-yl)-1H-pyrazoles 7a-f have been designed and synthesized. The structures of the synthesized compounds were proved by IR, mass, NMR (2D) spectra and elemental analyses. The target compounds were evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxic activity against 60 cancer cell lines according to NCI protocol. Consequently, seven compounds were further examined against the most sensitive cell lines, leukemia CCRF-CEM, and MOLT-4. 5-Amino-1-(6-bromo-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinolin-4-yl)-1H-pyrazole-3,4-dicarbonitrile (7f) was the most active product, with IC50 = 1.35 uM and 2.42 uM against MOLT-4 and CCRF-CEM, respectively. Also, it showed a remarkable inhibitory activity compared to erlotinib on the EGFR TK with IC50 = 247.14 nM and 208.42 nM, respectively. Cell cycle analysis of MOLT-4 cells treated with 7f showed cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase (supported by Caspases, BAX and Bcl-2 studies) with a significant pro-apoptotic activity as indicated by annexin V-FITC staining. Moreover, the docking study indicated that both the pyrazole moiety and the quinolin-2-one ring showed good fitting into EGFR (PDB code: 1M17). In order to interpret SAR of the designed compounds, and provide a basis for further optimization, molecular docking of the synthesized compounds to known EGFR inhibitors was performed. The study illustrated the effect of several factors on the compounds’ activity.

4-Aminoquinolone piperidine amides (AQs) were identified as a novel scaffold starting from a whole cell screen, with potent cidality on Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Evaluation of the minimum inhibitory concentrations, followed by whole genome sequencing of mutants raised against AQs, identified decaprenylphosphoryl-β-d-ribose 2′-epimerase (DprE1) as the primary target responsible for the antitubercular activity. Mass spectrometry and enzyme kinetic studies indicated that AQs are noncovalent, reversible inhibitors of DprE1 with slow on rates and long residence times of ～100 min on the enzyme. In general, AQs have excellent leadlike properties and good in vitro secondary pharmacology profile. Although the scaffold started off as a single active compound with moderate potency from the whole cell screen, structure-activity relationship optimization of the scaffold led to compounds with potent DprE1 inhibition (IC50 10 nM) along with potent cellular activity (MIC = 60 nM) against Mtb.

The insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-1R) is a receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) involved in all stages of the development and propagation of breast and other cancers. The inhibition of IGF-1R by small molecules remains a promising strategy to treat cancer. Herein, we explore SAR around previously characterized lead compound (1), which is an aryl-heteroaryl urea (AHU) consisting of 4-aminoquinaldine and a substituted aromatic ring system. A library of novel AHU compounds was prepared based on derivatives of the 4-aminoquinoline heterocycle (including various 2-substituted derivatives, and naphthyridines). The compounds were screened for in vitro inhibitory activity against IGF-1R, and several compounds with improved activity (3-5 μM) were identified. Furthermore, a computational docking study was performed, which identifies a fairly consistent lowest energy mode of binding for the more-active set of inhibitors in this series, while the less-active inhibitors do not adopt a consistent mode of binding.
