We previously identified phenylquinoxalinone CFTRact-J027 (4) as a cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) activator with an EC50 of ～200 nM and demonstrated its therapeutic efficacy in mouse models of constipation. Here, structure-activity studies were done on 36 synthesized phenylquinoxalinone analogs to identify compounds with improved potency and altered metabolic stability. Synthesis of the phenylquinoxalinone core was generally accomplished by condensation of 1,2-phenylenediamines with substituted phenyloxoacetates. Structure-activity studies established, among other features, the privileged nature of a properly positioned nitro moiety on the 3-aryl group. Synthesized analogs showed improved CFTR activation potency compared to 4 with EC50 down to 21 nM and with greater metabolic stability. CFTR activators have potential therapeutic indications in constipation, dry eye, cholestatic liver diseases, and inflammatory lung disorders.

Development of kinase-targeted therapies for central nervous system (CNS) diseases is a great challenge. Glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3) offers a great potential for severe CNS unmet diseases, being one of the inhibitors on clinical trials for different tauopathies. Following our hypothesis based on the enhanced reactivity of residue Cys199 in the binding site of GSK-3, we examine here the suitability of phenylhalomethylketones as irreversible inhibitors. Our data confirm that the halomethylketone unit is essential for the inhibitory activity. Moreover, addition of the halomethylketone moiety to reversible inhibitors turned them into irreversible inhibitors with IC50 values in the nanomolar range. Overall, the results point out that these compounds might be useful pharmacological tools to explore physiological and pathological processes related to signaling pathways regulated by GSK-3 opening new avenues for the discovery of novel GSK-3 inhibitors.

Inhibitors of poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase (PARP) inhibit repair of damaged DNA and thus potentiate radiotherapy and chemotherapy of cancer. 3-Substituted benzamides and 5-substituted isoquinolin-1-ones have been synthesised and evaluated for inhibition of PARP. Reduction of 3-(bromoacetyl)benzamide, followed by treatment with base, gave RS-3-oxiranylbenzamide. Reduction of 3-(hydroxyacetyl)benzonitrile with bakers' yeast gave the R-diol which was converted to R-3-(1,2-dihydroxyethyl)benzamide. Similar reduction of 3-(acetoxyacetyl)benzonitrile led towards the S-diol which was converted to its cyclic acetonide. E-2-(2,6-Dicyanophenyl)-N,N-dimethylethenamine was formed by condensation of 2,6-dicyanotoluene with dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal (DMFDMA); cyclisation under acidic conditions afforded 5-cyanoisoquinolin-1-one. Heck coupling of 5-iodoisoquinolin-1-one with propenoic acid formed E-3-(1-oxoisoquinolin-5-yl)propenoic acid. 3-Oxiranylbenzamide, 5-bromoisoquinolin-1-one and 5-iodoisoquinolin-1-one were among the most potent inhibitors of PARP activity in a preliminary screen in vitro.
