- Synthesis and bio-evaluation of a novel selective butyrylcholinesterase inhibitor discovered through structure-based virtual screening
-
In recent years, butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) has gradually gained worldwide interests as a novel target for treating Alzheimer's disease (AD). Here, two pharmacophore models were generated using Schr?dinger suite and used to virtually screen ChemDiv database, from which three hits were obtained. Among them, 2513–4169 displayed the highest inhibitory activity and selectivity against BChE (eeAChE IC50 > 10 μM, eqBChE IC50 = 3.73 ± 1.90 μM). Molecular dynamic (MD) simulation validated the binding pattern of 2513–4169 in BChE, and it could form a various of receptor-ligand interactions with adjacent residues. In vitro cytotoxicity assay proved the safety of 2513–4169 on diverse neural cell lines. Moreover, the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium (MTT) assay performed on SH-SY5Y cells proved the neuroprotective effect of 2513–4169 against toxic Aβ1–42. In vivo behavioral study further confirmed the great efficacy of 2513–4169 on reversing Aβ1–42-induced cognitive impairment of mice and clearing the toxic Aβ1–42 in brains. Moreover, 2513–4169 was proved to be able to cross blood-brain barrier (BBB) through a parallel artificial membrane permeation assay of BBB (PAMPA-BBB). Taken together, 2513–4169 is a promising lead compound for future optimization to discover anti-AD treating agents.

- Novel, Dual Target-Directed Annelated Xanthine Derivatives Acting on Adenosine Receptors and Monoamine Oxidase B
-
Annelated purinedione derivatives have been shown to act as possible multiple-target ligands, addressing adenosine receptors and monoaminooxidases. In this study, based on our previous results, novel annelated pyrimido- and diazepino[2,1-f]purinedione derivatives were designed as dual-target-directed ligands combining A2A adenosine receptor (AR) antagonistic activity with blocking monoamine oxidase B. A library of 19 novel compounds was synthesized and biologically evaluated in radioligand binding studies at AR subtypes and for their ability to inhibit MAO-B. This allowed 9-(2-chloro-6-fluorobenzyl)-3-ethyl-1-methyl-6,7,8,9-tetrahydropyrimido[2,1-f]purine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione (13 e; Ki human A2AAR: 264 nM and IC50 human MAO-B: 243 nM) to be identified as the most potent dual-acting ligand from this series. ADMET parameters were estimated in vitro, and analysis of the structure-activity relationships was complemented by molecular-docking studies based on previously published X-ray structures of the protein targets. Such dual-acting ligands, by selectively blocking A2A AR, accompanied by the inhibition of dopamine metabolizing enzyme MAO-B, might provide symptomatic and neuroprotective effects in, among others, the treatment of Parkinson disease.

- Synthesis, radiolabelling and initial biological characterisation of 18F-labelled xanthine derivatives for PET imaging of Eph receptors
-
Eph receptor tyrosine kinases, particularly EphA2 and EphB4, represent promising candidates for molecular imaging due to their essential role in cancer progression and therapy resistance. Xanthine derivatives were identified to be potent Eph receptor inhibitors with IC50 values in the low nanomolar range (1-40 nm). These compounds occupy the hydrophobic pocket of the ATP-binding site in the kinase domain. Based on lead compound 1, we designed two fluorine-18-labelled receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors ([18F]2/3) as potential tracers for positron emission tomography (PET). Docking into the ATP-binding site allowed us to find the best position for radiolabelling. The replacement of the methyl group at the uracil residue ([18F]3) rather than the methyl group of the phenoxy moiety ([18F]2) by a fluoropropyl group was predicted to preserve the affinity of the lead compound 1. Herein, we point out a synthesis route to [18F]2 and [18F]3 and the respective tosylate precursors as well as a labelling procedure to insert fluorine-18. After radiolabelling, both radiotracers were obtained in approximately 5% radiochemical yield with high radiochemical purity (>98%) and a molar activity of >10 GBq μmol-1. In line with the docking studies, first cell experiments revealed specific, time-dependent binding and uptake of [18F]3 to EphA2 and EphB4-overexpressing A375 human melanoma cells, whereas [18F]2 did not accumulate at these cells. Since both tracers [18F]3 and [18F]2 are stable in rat blood, the novel radiotracers might be suitable for in vivo molecular imaging of Eph receptors with PET.

- Synthesis and lipid-lowering evaluation of 3-methyl-1 H-purine-2,6-dione derivatives as potent and orally available anti-obesityagents
-
Obesity accompanied with metabolic disorder is often complicated with a strong link of dyslipidemia and insulin resistance, whose indicator is the excess accumulation of triglycerides (TG) in cells. Consideration the idea of lipid-lowering and improving insulin resistance, 34 novel compounds by combination the xanthine scaffold with the chain of Rosiglitazone have been synthesized. Among them, several compounds showed efficiency on reducing TG in 3T3-L1 adipoctyes, and 11c exhibited the most optimal capacity in lipid-lowering and improving obese clinical symptoms in DIO mice. Furthermore, the hydrochloride of 11c (11c·HCl) showed excellent bioavailability, 58.94%, over 2 folds than that (28.03%) of 11c, and the anti-obesity effect of 11c·HCl at 50 mg/kg dose was better than that of Metformin at 150 mg/kg dose in DIO mice, almost reversed HFD to a normal level. Thus, 11c·HCl might be a potent and orally available anti-obesity agent via alleviating the obese clinical symptoms, body fat, improving serum parameters and insulin resistance and TG clearance in liver.

- Structure-based optimization of potent and selective inhibitors of the tyrosine kinase erythropoietin producing human hepatocellular carcinoma receptor B4 (EphB4)
-
The tyrosine kinase EphB4 is an attractive target for drug design because of its recognized role in cancer-related angiogenesis. Recently, a series of commercially available xanthine derivatives were identified as micromolar inhibitors of EphB4 by high-throughput fragment-based docking into the ATP-binding site of the kinase domain. Here, we have exploited the binding mode obtained by automatic docking for the optimization of these EphB4 inhibitors by chemical synthesis. Addition of only two heavy atoms, methyl and hydroxyl groups, to compound 4 has yielded the single-digit nanomolar inhibitor 66, with a remarkable improvement of the ligand efficiency from 0.26 to 0.37 kcal/(mol per non-hydrogen atom). Compound 66 shows very high affinity for a few other tyrosine kinases with threonine as gatekeeper residue (Abl, Lck, and Src). On the other hand, it is selective against kinases with a larger gatekeeper. A 45 ns molecular dynamics (MD) simulation of the complex of EphB4 and compound 66 provides further validation of the binding mode obtained by fragment-based docking. 2009 American Chemical Society.

A series of N-1 monosubstituted 8-pyrazolyl xanthines have been synthesized and evaluated for their affinity for the adenosine receptors (AdoRs). We have discovered two compounds 18 (CVT-7124) and 28 (CVT-6694) that display good affinity for the A2B AdoR (Ki = 6 nM and 7 nM, respectively) and greater selectivity for the human A1, A2A, and A3 AdoRs (>1000-, >830-, and >1500-fold; >850-, >700-, and >1280-fold, respectively). CVT-6694 has been shown to block the release of interleukin-6 and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 from bronchial smooth muscle cells (BSMC), a process believed to be promoted by activation of A2B AdoR.

- Imidazo[2,1-i]purin-5-ones and related tricyclic water-soluble purine derivatives: Potent A2A- and A3-adenosine receptor antagonistst
-
A series of tricyclic imidazo[2,1-i]purinones and ring-enlarged analogues derived from xanthine derivatives have been prepared as adenosine receptor (AR) antagonists. In comparison with xanthines, the tricyclic compounds exhibit increased water solubility due to a basic nitrogen atom, which can be protonated under physiological conditions. Substituents were introduced that confer high affinity for A2A or A3 ARs, respectively. A new capillary electrophoresis method was developed for the determination of the enantiomeric purity of selected chiral products using native and modified β-cyclodextrins as chiral discriminators. The compounds were investigated in radioligand binding assays at rat brain A1 and A2A ARs. Selected compounds were additionally investigated in radioligand binding assays at human recombinant A3 ARS and in functional studies (adenylate cyclase assays) at A1 ARs of rat fat cell membranes, A2A ARs of rat PC 12 cell membranes, and mouse A2B ARs of NIH 3T3 cell membranes. Structure-activity relationships were similar to those of corresponding xanthine derivatives. The 2-styrylimidazopurinones were less potent at A2A ARs as compared to 8-styrylxanthine derivatives. The most potent compound at A2A ARs was (S)-1,4-dimethyl-8-ethyl-2-styryl- imidazo[2,1-i]purinone (S-25) exhibiting a Ki value of 424 nM at rat A2A ARs. The compound was highly selective for A2A receptors vs A1 and A3 ARs. Selectivity vs A2B ARs, however, was low. Among the 1-unsubstituted 2-phenyl-imidazo[2,1-i]purin-5-one derivatives, very potent and highly selective antagonists for human A3 ARs were identified. The most potent A3 antagonist of the present series was (R)-4-methyl-8-ethyl-2-phenyl-imidazo[2,1-i]purin-5-one (R-24) exhibiting a Ki value of 2.3 nM and high selectivity for A3 receptors vs all other AR subtypes.

-
Novel isoquinoloine compounds inhibit inflammatory responses associated with TNF-α and fibroblast proliferation in vivo and in vitro. The compounds of the invention neither appreciably inhibit the activity of cAMP phosphodiesterase nor the hydrolysis of phosphatidic acid, and are neither cytotoxic nor cytostatic. Preferred compounds of the invention are esters. Methods for the use of the novel compounds to inhibit ceramide-mediated intracellular responses to stimuli in vivo (particularly TNF-α) are also described. The methods are expected to be of use in reducing inflammatory responses (for example, after angioplasty), in limiting fibrosis (for example, of the liver in cirrhosis), in inhibiting cell senescence, cell apoptosis and UV induced cutaneous immune suppression.

-
The crystal and molecular structures of 5,6-diamino-1-methyluracil and 5,6-diamino-1,3-dimethyluracil monohydrate have been determined from X-ray diffraction. Both compounds are planar and the two amino groups have two different conformations. The substituent at the 5 position seems to be a true primary amino group with a strongly sp3 nitrogen, whereas the one at the 6 position is nearly coplanar with the uracil ring, displaying a predominant sp2 character. Semiempirical calculations were made on 5,6-diaminouracil, 5,6-diamino-2-thiouracil and their endocyclic N-methylated derivatives using the AM1 and PM3 hamiltonians. These indicate that the stability decreases on increasing methylation, the 2-thio compounds always being less stable than the 2-oxo ones.

- Substituted xanthines, pteridinediones, and related compounds as potential antiinflammatory agents. Synthesis and biological evaluation of inhibitors of tumor necrosis factor α
-
A series of analogues of pentoxifylline metabolites were prepared in the purine, pteridine, [1,2,5]-thiadiazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine, and quinazoline ring systems and evaluated for their ability to inhibit the production of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) in human peripheral blood monocytes stimulated with bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The more active compounds were also tested for inhibition of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase type IV (PDE IV) from human neutrophils in order to help determine their mechanism of action. Selected compounds which showed good activity in the in vitro TNFα assay were evaluated in an in vivo LPS-induced leukopenia model in mice. The most potent compounds in the TNFα assay, 6, 31, and 58, inhibited TNFα production at an IC50 of approximately 5 μM for each. Compound 58 was a very poor inhibitor of PDE IV but was the most active at preventing the leukopenia induced by TNFα in mice, providing more than 60% protection at 50 mg/kg. Thus, compounds such as 58, which are good inhibitors of TNFα production but are devoid of PDE IV inhibitory properties, may have potential as new antiinflammatory agents.
