- Deconstructing Noncovalent Kelch-like ECH-Associated Protein 1 (Keap1) Inhibitors into Fragments to Reconstruct New Potent Compounds
-
Targeting the protein-protein interaction (PPI) between nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1) is a potential therapeutic strategy to control diseases involving oxidative stress. Here, six classes of known small-molecule Keap1-Nrf2 PPI inhibitors were dissected into 77 fragments in a fragment-based deconstruction reconstruction (FBDR) study and tested in four orthogonal assays. This gave 17 fragment hits of which six were shown by X-ray crystallography to bind in the Keap1 Kelch binding pocket. Two hits were merged into compound 8 with a 220-380-fold stronger affinity (Ki = 16 μM) relative to the parent fragments. Systematic optimization resulted in several novel analogues with Ki values of 0.04-0.5 μM, binding modes determined by X-ray crystallography, and enhanced microsomal stability. This demonstrates how FBDR can be used to find new fragment hits, elucidate important ligand-protein interactions, and identify new potent inhibitors of the Keap1-Nrf2 PPI.

- Design, synthesis and anti-platelet aggregation activity study of ginkgolide-1,2,3-triazole derivatives
-
Ginkgolides are the major active component of Ginkgo biloba for inhibition of platelet activating factor receptor. An azide-alkyne Huisgen cycloaddition reaction was used to introduce a triazole nucleus into the target ginkgolide molecules. A series of ginkgolide-1,2,3-triazole conjugates with varied functional groups including benzyl, phenyl and heterocycle moieties was thus synthesized. Many of the designed derivatives showed potent antiplatelet aggregation activities with IC50 values of 5~21 nM.

- Design, synthesis and anticancer biological evaluation of novel 1,4-diaryl-1,2,3-triazole retinoid analogues of tamibarotene (AM80)
-
We report herein the design and synthesis via click chemistry of twelve novel triazole retinoid analogues of tamibarotene (AM80) and the evaluation of their anticancer activities against six cancer cell lines: HL60, K562, 786, HT29, MCF7 and PC3. Among the synthesized compounds, two were more potent than tamibarotene against solid tumor cells, and one of them had similar potency to tamibarotene against HL60 cells. The bioisosteric exchange between the amide group and the 1,2,3-triazole core in the retinoid agent tamibarotene (AM80) reported in this work is a valid strategy for the generation of useful compounds against cancer.

- Synthesis and biological evaluation of triazole based uracil derivatives as novel DPP-4 inhibitors
-
A series of triazole based uracil derivatives were designed and synthesized as novel DPP-4 inhibitors. Compound A01 was identified as a lead compound for SAR studies focused on the structural modification at the S2′ subsite of DPP-4. The novel analogues A02-A25 were obtained by modifying the substituents at the phenyl group, and B01-B09, by introducing the carbonyl group. On screening in DPP-4, compounds B03, B04 and B08 showed a significant improvement in DPP-4 inhibitory activities compared to compound A01 and showed comparable activities to the marketed DPP-4 inhibitor, alogliptin. Docking studies revealed new favorable binding modes of designed compounds in the S2′ subsite and proved that structural modifications in the S2′ subsite were an effective option to increase the inhibition of DPP-4. In vitro DPP-8 and DPP-9 tests indicated that all compounds showed excellent selectivity against DPP-8 and DPP-9. Further in vivo evaluation showed that compound B04 could significantly improve oral glucose tolerance in ICR mice and dose-dependently reduced glucose levels in type 2 diabetic C57BL/6 mice. These data suggest that compound B04 could be a promising DPP-4 inhibitor for future treatment of T2DM.

- Design, Synthesis, and Evaluation of Triazole Derivatives That Induce Nrf2 Dependent Gene Products and Inhibit the Keap1-Nrf2 Protein-Protein Interaction
-
The transcription factor Nrf2 regulates the expression of a large network of cytoprotective and metabolic enzymes and proteins. Compounds that directly and reversibly inhibit the interaction between Nrf2 and its main negative regulator Keap1 are potential pharmacological agents for a range of disease types including neurodegenerative conditions and cancer. We describe the development of a series of 1,4-diphenyl-1,2,3-triazole compounds that inhibit the Nrf2-Keap1 protein-protein interaction (PPI) in vitro and in live cells and up-regulate the expression of Nrf2-dependent gene products.

- Synthesis and cytotoxicity of some d-mannose click conjugates with aminobenzoic acid derivatives
-
Two sets of new conjugates obtained from d-mannose derivatives and o-, m-, and p-substituted benzoic acid esters interconnected through a triazole ring were synthesized by Cu(I) catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition. All synthesized compounds were tested for their in vitro cytotoxic activity against seven cancer cell lines with/without multidrug resistance phenotype as well as non-tumor MRC-5 and BJ fibroblasts. Butyl ester of 4-aminobenzoic acid 6c showed the highest activity among all tested compounds, however, it was active only against K562 myeloid leukemia cells. N-Glycosyltriazole conjugates, both acetylated and nonacetylated at mannose moiety, were almost completely inactive. In contrast, some of the acetylated O-glycosyl conjugates showed cytotoxic activity which was cell line dependent and strongly affected by position of benzoic acid substitution as well as a length of its ester alkyl chain; the most potent compound was acetylated mannoside conjugated with octyl ester of m-substituted benzoic acid. However, deacetylation resulting in hydrophilicity increase of the glycosides almost completely abolished their cytotoxic potency.

- Nonafluorobutanesulfonyl azide: A shelf-stable diazo transfer reagent for the synthesis of azides from primary amines
-
Nonafluorobutanesulfonyl azide is an efficient, shelf-stable and cost-effective diazo transfer reagent for the synthesis of azides from primary amines. The reagent can also be successfully applied to the one-pot regioselective synthesis of 1,2,3-triazoles from primary amines by a sequential diazo transfer and azide-alkyne 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition process catalyzed by copper. The cycloaddition step can be conducted in an inter- or intramolecular way to afford 1,4- or 1,5-disubstituted triazoles, respectively. The atypical 1,5-regioselectivity under copper catalysis is a consequence of geometrical constraints of the amino-alkyne substrates used in the intramolecular version. Nonafluorobutanesulfonyl azide offers an advantageous alternative to the better known and most commonly used trifluoromethanesulfonyl azide.
