- Design, Synthesis, and Insecticidal Activity of Novel Doramectin Derivatives Containing Acylurea and Acylthiourea Based on Hydrogen Bonding
-
Our recent investigation on the insecticidal activities of several doramectin derivatives preliminarily revealed that the presence of hydrogen bonds at the C4″ position of the molecule with target protein γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor was crucial for retaining high insecticidal activity. As a continuation of our research work on the development of new insecticides, two series of novel acylurea and acylthiourea doramectin derivatives were designed and synthesized. The bioassay results indicated that the newly synthesized compounds (5o, 5t, and 6t) exhibited higher insecticidal activity against diamondback moth, oriental armyworm, and corn borer than the control compounds doramectin, commercial avermectins, chlorbenzuron, and lead compound 3g in our laboratory. Specifically, compound 5t was identified as the most promising insecticide against diamondback moth, with a final mortality rate of 80.00% at the low concentration of 12.50 mg/L, showing approximately 7.75-fold higher potency than the parent doramectin (LC50 value of 48.1547 mg/L), 6.52-fold higher potency than commercial avermectins (LC50 value of 40.5507 mg/L), and 3.98-fold higher potency than compound 3g (LC50 value of 24.7742 mg/L). Additionally, molecular docking simulations revealed that compound 5t (2.17, 2.20, 2.56, and 2.83 ?) displayed stronger hydrogen-bond action in binding with the GABA receptor, better than that of compound 5o (1.64 and 2.15 ?) and compound 6t (2.20 and 2.31 ?) at the C4″ position. This work demonstrated that these compounds containing hydrogen-bond groups might contribute to the improvement of insecticidal activity and supply certain hints toward structure optimization design for the development of new insecticides.

- Convenient One-Pot Two-Step Synthesis of Symmetrical and Unsymmetrical Diacyl Ureas, Acyl Urea/Carbamate/Thiocarbamate Derivatives, and Related Compounds
-
A wide range of chemicals such as amides, hydrazides, amines, alcohols, carbazate, and sulfonate were reacted with acyl isocyanates generated by the reaction of primary amides with oxalyl chloride to give symmetrical and unsymmetrical diacyl urea derivatives, acyl ureas/carbamates/thiocarbamates, and related compounds. This method provides means for convenient one-pot, two-step synthesis of compounds bearing urea, carbamate, and other functional groups from cheap and commercially available starting reagents. It is expected that the results presented in this report will expand the medicinal chemist’s toolbox.

- Design, synthesis and fungicidal activity of N-substituted benzoyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolyl-1-carboxamide
-
To find a new lead compound with high biological activity, a series of N-substituted benzoyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolyl-1-carboxamide were designed using linking active substructures method. The target compounds were synthesized from substituted benzoic acid by four steps and their structures were confirmed by 1H NMR, IR spectrum and elemental analysis. The in vitro bioassay results indicated that some target compounds exhibited excellent fungicidal activities, and the position of the substituents played an important role in fungicidal activities. Especially, compound 5n, exhibited better fungicidal activities than the commercial fungicide flutolanil against two tested fungi Valsa Mali and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, with EC50 values of 3.44 and 2.63 mg/L, respectively. And it also displayed good in vivo fungicidal activity against S. sclerotiorum with the EC50 value of 29.52 mg/L.

- Synthesis, antitumor activity and mechanism of action of novel 1,3-thiazole derivatives containing hydrazide–hydrazone and carboxamide moiety
-
A series of novel 2,4,5-trisubstituted 1,3-thiazole derivatives containing hydrazide–hydrazine, and carboxamide moiety including 46 compounds T were synthesized, and evaluated for their antitumor activity in vitro against a panel of five human cancer cell lines. Eighteen title compounds T displayed higher inhibitory activity than that of 5-Fu against MCF-7, HepG2, BGC-823, Hela, and A549 cell lines. Especially, T1, T26 and T38 exhibit best cytotoxic activity with IC50values of 2.21?μg/mL, 1.67?μg/mL and 1.11?μg/mL, against MCF-7, BCG-823, and HepG2 cell lines, respectively. These results suggested that the combination of 1,3-thiazole, hydrazide–hydrazone, and carboxamide moiety was much favorable to cytotoxicity activity. Furthermore, the flow cytometry analysis revealed that compounds T1 and T38 could induce apoptosis in HepG2 cells, and it was confirmed T38 led the induction of cell apoptosis by S cell-cycle arrest.

- Novel acylureidoindolin-2-one derivatives as dual Aurora B/FLT3 inhibitors for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia
-
A series of 6-acylureido derivatives containing a 3-(pyrrol-2- ylmethylidene)indolin-2-one scaffold were synthesized as potential dual Aurora B/FLT3 inhibitors by replacing the 6-arylureido moiety in 6-arylureidoindolin-2- one-based multi-kinase inhibitors. (Z)-N-(2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)ethyl)-5-((6-(3-(2- fluoro-4-methoxybenzoyl)ureido)-2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)methyl)-2, 4-dimethyl-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxamide (54) was identified as a dual Aurora B/FLT3 inhibitor (IC50 = 0.4 nM and 0.5 nM, respectively). Compound 54 also exhibited potent cytotoxicity with single-digit nanomolar IC50 values against the FLT3 mutant-associated human acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell lines MV4-11 (FLT3-ITD) and MOLM-13 (FLT3-ITD). Compound 54 also specifically induced extrinsic apoptosis by inhibiting the phosphorylation of the Aurora B and FLT3 pathways in MOLM-13 cells. Compound 54 had a moderate pharmacokinetic profile. The mesylate salt of 54 efficiently inhibited tumor growth and reduced the mortality of BALB/c nude mice (subcutaneous xenograft model) that had been implanted with AML MOLM-13 cells. Compound 54 is more potent than sunitinib not only against FLT3-WT AML cells but also active against sunitinib-resistant FLT3-ITD AML cells. This study demonstrates the significance of dual Aurora B/FLT3 inhibitors for the development of potential agents to treat AML.

- Acyl ureas as human liver glycogen phosphorylase inhibitors for the treatment of type 2 diabetes
-
Using a focused screening approach, acyl ureas have been discovered as a new class of inhibitors of human liver glycogen phosphorylase (hiGPa). The X-ray structure of screening hit 1 (IC50 = 2 μM) in a complex with rabbit muscle glycogen phosphorylase b reveals that 1 binds at the AMP site, the main allosteric effector site of the dimeric enzyme. A first cycle of chemical optimization supported by X-ray structural data yielded derivative 21, which inhibited hlGPa with an IC50 of 23 ± 1 nM, but showed only moderate cellular activity in isolated rat hepatocytes (IC50 = 6.2 μM). Further optimization was guided by (i) a 3D pharmacophore model that was derived from a training set of 24 compounds and revealed the key chemical features for the biological activity and (ii) the 1.9 A? crystal structure of 21 in complex with hlGPa. A second set of compounds was synthesized and led to 42 with improved cellular activity (hlGPa IC50 = 53 ± 1 nM; hepatocyte IC50 = 380 nM). Administration of 42 to anaesthetized Wistar rats caused a significant reduction of the glucagon-induced hyperglycemic peak. These findings are consistent with the inhibition of hepatic glycogenolysis and support the use of acyl ureas for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
