- Imidazole-based pinanamine derivatives: Discovery of dual inhibitors of the wild-type and drug-resistant mutant of the influenza A virus
-
We previously reported potent hit compound 4 inhibiting the wild-type influenza A virus A/HK/68 (H3N2) and A/M2-S31N mutant viruses A/WS/33 (H1N1), with its latter activity quite weak. To further increase its potency, a structure-activity relationship study of a series of imidazole-linked pinanamine derivatives was conducted by modifying the imidazole ring of this compound. Several compounds of this series inhibited the amantadine-sensitive virus at low micromolar concentrations. Among them, 33 was the most potent compound, which was identified as being active on an amantadine-sensitive virus through blocking of the viral M2 ion channel. Furthermore, 33 markedly inhibited the amantadine-resistant virus (IC50 = 3.4 μM) and its activity increased by almost 24-fold compared to initial compound, with its action mechanism being not M2 channel mediated.

- Synthesis, structure-activity relationship studies, and identification of novel 5,6,7,8-tetrahydroimidazo[1,5-a]pyrazine derivatives as dual orexin receptor antagonists. Part 1
-
A novel series of non-peptidic OX1R/OX2R orexin receptor antagonists was prepared by heterocyclic replacement of the dimethoxyphenyl moiety contained in the tetrahydroisoquinoline core skeleton of almorexant. Introduction of substituted imidazole moieties delivered potent dual orexin receptor antagonists with nanomolar potency for hOX1R and hOX2R suitable for further fine-tuning. The preparation of these novel orexin receptor antagonists and the outcome of preliminary structure-activity relationship studies are described in this communication.

- Discovery of potent and novel S-nitrosoglutathione reductase inhibitors devoid of cytochrome P450 activities
-
The pyrrole based N6022 was recently identified as a potent, selective, reversible, and efficacious S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR) inhibitor and is currently undergoing clinical development for the treatment of acute asthma. GSNOR is a member of the alcohol dehydrogenase family (ADH) and regulates the levels of S-nitrosothiols (SNOs) through catabolism of S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO). Reduced levels of GSNO, as well as other nitrosothiols (SNOs), have been implicated in the pathogenesis of many diseases including those of the respiratory, cardiovascular, and gastrointestinal systems. Preservation of endogenous SNOs through GSNOR inhibition presents a novel therapeutic approach with broad applicability. We describe here the synthesis and structure-activity relationships (SAR) of novel pyrrole based analogues of N6022 focusing on removal of cytochrome P450 inhibition activities. We identified potent and novel GSNOR inhibitors having reduced CYP inhibition activities and demonstrated efficacy in a mouse ovalbumin (OVA) model of asthma.

- Imidazole derivatives
-
Novel imidazole derivatives are disclosed. These compounds have a good affinity to the NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate)-receptor subtype selective blockers, which have a key function in modulating neuronal activity and plasticity which makes them key players in mediating processes underlying development of CNS as well as learning and memory formation. These compounds are useful in the control or treatment of diseases mediated by this receptor.
