- Tetrahydrofuranylmethylamines: An Efficient and Simple One-Step Synthesis and Biological Activities
-
Various tetrahydrofuran-2-ylmethylamines have been prepared in good yields by an efficient one-step synthesis utilizing the reaction of tetrahydrofurfurylchloride with different secondary cyclic amines without any catalyst. The compounds were tested for their in vitro affinity for the (α4)2(β2)3 and α7* nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) subtypes. Pyrrolidine, piperidine and azepane containing analogs (1a, 1b, 1c) showed Ki values in the lower micromolar range for these neuronal nAChR subtypes in rat brain.

- Discovery of Novel Apigenin-Piperazine Hybrids as Potent and Selective Poly (ADP-Ribose) Polymerase-1 (PARP-1) Inhibitors for the Treatment of Cancer
-
Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) is a potential target for the discovery of chemosensitizers and anticancer drugs. Amentoflavone (AMF) is reported to be a selective PARP-1 inhibitor. Here, structural modifications and trimming of AMF have led to a series of AMF derivatives (9a-h) and apigenin-piperazine/piperidine hybrids (14a-p, 15a-p, 17a-h, and 19a-f), respectively. Among these compounds, 15l exhibited a potent PARP-1 inhibitory effect (IC50 = 14.7 nM) and possessed high selectivity to PARP-1 over PARP-2 (61.2-fold). Molecular dynamics simulation and the cellular thermal shift assay revealed that 15l directly bound to the PARP-1 structure. In in vitro and in vivo studies, 15l showed a potent chemotherapy sensitizing effect against A549 cells and a selective cytotoxic effect toward SK-OV-3 cells through PARP-1 inhibition. 15l·2HCl also displayed good ADME characteristics, pharmacokinetic parameters, and a desirable safety margin. These findings demonstrated that 15l·2HCl may serve as a lead compound for chemosensitizers and the (BRCA-1)-deficient cancer therapy.
