- Structure-activity relationships of agonists for the orphan G protein-coupled receptor GPR27
-
GPR27 belongs, with GPR85 and GPR173, to a small subfamily of three receptors called “Super-Conserved Receptors Expressed in the Brain” (SREB). It has been postulated to participate in key physiological processes such as neuronal plasticity, energy metabolism, and pancreatic β-cell insulin secretion and regulation. Recently, we reported the first selective GPR27 agonist, 2,4-dichloro-N-(4-(N-phenylsulfamoyl)phenyl)benzamide (I, pEC50 6.34, Emax 100%). Here, we describe the synthesis and structure-activity relationships of a series of new derivatives and analogs of I. All products were evaluated for their ability to activate GPR27 in an arrestin recruitment assay. As a result, agonists were identified with a broad range of efficacies including partial and full agonists, showing higher efficacies than the lead compound I. The most potent agonist was 4-chloro-2,5-difluoro-N-(4-(N-phenylsulfamoyl)phenyl)benzamide (7y, pEC50 6.85, Emax 37%), and the agonists with higher efficacies were 4-chloro-2-methyl-N-(4-(N-phenylsulfamoyl)phenyl)benzamide (7p, pEC50 6.04, Emax 123%), and 2-bromo-4-chloro-N-(4-(N-phenylsulfamoyl)phenyl)benzamide (7r, pEC50 5.99, Emax 123%). Docking studies predicted the putative binding site and interactions of agonist 7p with GPR27. Selected potent agonists were found to be soluble and devoid of cellular toxicity within the range of their pharmacological activity. Therefore, they represent important new tools to further characterize the (patho)physiological roles of GPR27.

- Synthesis and anticandidal activity of azole-containing sulfonamides
-
Twenty five benzenesulfonamides containing one imidazole or triazole ring, or two imidazole or triazole rings have been synthesized and evaluated as anticandidal agents. The most active compounds were 5c, 6b, 6c, 6e, and 17b, which exhibited MIC values of 4.55-24.39 mM depending on the clinical isolate. Comparing imidazole to triazole derivatives did not show a clear effect on activity. Compounds containing a N-benzyl group also showed no clear evidence on activity given the fact that they have an extra aromatic ring. Secondary sulfonamides, 5l, 5m, and 5n showed activities that were proportional to their lipophilicity. The activities of N-aryl-substituted derivatives 5j, 5k, 5l, 5m, 5n, and 6j were also proportional to their lipophilicity. Halogenation enhanced the activity as a result of improvement of lipophilicity. The presence of two imidazole or triazole rings in the same compound did not show a clear enhancement of activity.

- 2-Anilino-4-(Heterocyclic) Amino-Pyrimidines
-
The present invention relates to 2-arylamino-4-(heterocyclic)aminopyrimidines inhibitors which are inhibitors and therefore inhibit Protein Kinase C-alpha (PKC-α). The PKC-α inhibitors of the present invention are important for improving myocardial intracellular calcium cycling, resulting in improved myocardial contraction and relaxation performance and thereby slowing the progression of heart failure. The present invention further relates to compositions comprising said 2-arylamino-4-(heterocyclic)amino-pyrimidines and to methods for controlling, abating, or otherwise slowing the progression of heart failure.
