- Structure-activity relationship studies in substituted sulfamoyl benzamidothiazoles that prolong NF-κB activation
-
In the face of emerging infectious diseases, there remains an unmet need for vaccine development where adjuvants that enhance immune responses to pathogenic antigens are highly desired. Using high-throughput screens with a cell-based nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) reporter assay, we identified a sulfamoyl benzamidothiazole bearing compound 1 that demonstrated a sustained activation of NF-κB after a primary stimulus with a Toll-like receptor (TLR)-4 agonist, lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Here, we explore systematic structure–activity relationship (SAR) studies on compound 1 that indicated the sites on the scaffold that tolerated modification and yielded more potent compounds compared to 1. The selected analogs enhanced release of immunostimulatory cytokines in the human monocytic cell line THP-1 cells and murine primary dendritic cells. In murine vaccination studies, select compounds were used as co-adjuvants in combination with the Food and Drug Administration approved TLR-4 agonistic adjuvant, monophosphoryl lipid A (MPLA) that showed significant enhancement in antigen-specific antibody titers compared to MPLA alone. Additionally, our SAR studies led to identification of a photoaffinity probe which will aid the target identification and mechanism of action studies in the future.

- Diaryl-containing imidazole compound and preparation method and medical application thereof
-
The invention discloses a diaryl-containing imidazole compound. The invention further discloses application of the diaryl-containing imidazole compound to preparation of drugs for preventing or treating Alzheimer's disease. The inventor screens butyrylcholine esterase and IDO1 as carriers for inhibiting the activity to evaluate the effect of the diaryl imidazole compound to treat Alzheimer's disease, and finds that the diaryl imidazole compound has good in vitro activity, and can be further developed as a precursor substance for performing the Alzheimer's disease resistant effect by inhibitingthe activity of cholinesterase. (The formula is shown in the description).

- One-Pot Preparation of Aromatic Amides, 4-Arylthiazoles, and 4-Arylimidazoles from Arenes
-
Simple treatment of arenes with α-bromoacetyl chloride and AlCl3, followed by the reaction with molecular iodine and aq. NH3, thioamides, or amidines gave the corresponding primary aromatic amides, 4-arylthiazoles, or 4-arylimidazoles in good yields, respectively. Aryl α-bromomethyl ketones are the key intermediates in those reactions. Primary aromatic amides were formed from arenes through the reaction of aryl α-bromomethyl ketones with molecular iodine and aq. NH3, and 4-arylthiazoles and 4-arylimidazoles were formed from arenes through the reactions of aryl α-bromomethyl ketones with thioamides and amidines, respectively, in one pot under transition-metal-free conditions.

- 3-Substituted-(5-arylfuran-2-ylcarbonyl)guanidines as NHE-1 inhibitors
-
The C-3 substituents effect on NHE-1 inhibitory activity of (5-arylfuran-2-ylcarbonyl)guanidines, previously identified as potent NHE-1 inhibitors, was investigated. The introduction of amine or alkyl groups at the 3-position of the furan ring, next to the acylguanidine moiety, remarkably improves NHE-1 inhibitory potency. Especially the important finding is that 5-(2,5-dichloro)phenyl and 5-(2-methoxy-5-chloro)phenyl derivatives exhibit high NHE-1 inhibitory activities (IC50 0.02 μM) that match those of 3-unsubstituted derivatives.
