- Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of novel 2-methylpiperazine derivatives as potent CCR5 antagonists
-
Three series of novel 2-methylpiperazine derivatives were designed and synthesized using a fragment-assembly strategy. Among them, six compounds (13, 16, 18, 22, 33, and 36) showed potent activity against CCR5 comparable to that of the positive control, maraviroc, in calcium mobilization assay. Moreover, some compounds were selected and further tested for their antiviral activity in HIV-1 single cycle assay. As a result, four compounds (13, 16, 33, and 36) showed antiviral activity at the nanomolar level. Additionally, the potent four compounds showed no cytotoxicity at a concentration of 10 μM.

- Discovery of novel protease activated receptors 1 antagonists with potent antithrombotic activity in vivo
-
Protease activated receptors (PARs) or thrombin receptors constitute a class of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) implicated in the activation of many physiological mechanisms. Thus, thrombin activates many cell types such as vascular smooth muscle cells, leukocytes, endothelial cells, and platelets via activation of these receptors. In humans, thrombin-induced platelet aggregation is mediated by one subtype of these receptors, termed PAR1. This article describes the discovery of new antagonists of these receptors and more specifically two compounds: 2-[5-oxo-5-(4-pyridin-2-ylpiperazin-1-yl)penta-1,3- dienyl]benzonitrile 36 (F 16618) and 3-(2-chlorophenyl)-1-[4-(4-fluorobenzyl) piperazin-1-yl]propenone 39 (F 16357), obtained after optimization. Both compounds are able to inhibit SFLLR-induced human platelet aggregation and display antithrombotic activity in an arteriovenous shunt model in the rat after iv or oral administration. Furthermore, these compounds are devoid of bleeding side effects often observed with other types of antiplatelet drugs, which constitutes a promising advantage for this new class of antithrombotic agents. 2009 American Chemical Society.
