- Identification of an ethyl 5,6-dihydropyrazolo[1,5-c]quinazoline-1-carboxylate as a catalytic inhibitor of DNA gyrase
-
Fluoroquinolones are a class of antibacterial agents used clinically to treat a wide array of bacterial infections and target bacterial type-II topoisomerases (DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV). Fluoroquinolones, however potent, are susceptible to bacterial resistance with prolonged use, which limits their use in the clinic. Quinazoline-2,4-diones also target bacterial type-II topoisomerases and are not susceptible to bacterial resistance similar to fluoroquinolones, however, their potency pales in comparison to fluoroquinolones. To meet the increasing demand for antibacterial development, nine modified quinazoline-2,4-diones were developed to probe quinazoline-2,4-dione structure modification for possible new binding contacts with the bacterial type-II topoisomerase, DNA gyrase. Evaluation of compounds for inhibition of the supercoiling activity of DNA gyrase revealed a novel ethyl 5,6-dihydropyrazolo[1,5-c]quinazoline-1-carboxylate derivative as a modest inhibitor of DNA gyrase, having an IC50 of 3.5 μM. However, this ethyl 5,6-dihydropyrazolo[1,5-c]quinazoline-1-carboxylate does not trap the catalytic intermediate like fluoroquinolones or typical quinazoline-2,4-diones do. Thus, the ethyl 5,6-dihydropyrazolo[1,5-c]quinazoline-1-carboxylate derivative discovered in this work acts as a catalytic inhibitor of DNA gyrase and therefore represents a new structural type of catalytic inhibitor of DNA gyrase.

- CYCLIC AMINE COMPOUND
-
A compound represented by the formula (I) or a salt thereof: (I) wherein the ring A represents a 5- to 8-membered ring which may have additional substituent besides R6, R7 and R8; R1 represents an electron-attracting group; R2, R3, R4 and R5 independently represent a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a group attached through a carbon atom, a group attached through a nitrogen atom, a group attached through an oxygen group, or a group attached through a sulfur atom; R6 represents a halogen atom, a group attached through a carbon atom, a group attached through a nitrogen atom, a group attached through an oxygen group, or a group attached through a sulfur atom, and R7 represents a cyano group, a nitro group, an acyl group which may have a substituent, a carboxyl group which may be esterified or amidated, or a hydrocarbon group which may have a substituent, or R6 and R7 together with a carbon atom to which they are attached may form a ring which may have a substituent; and R8 represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a group attached through a carbon atom, a group attached through an oxygen atom, or a group attached through a sulfur atom. The compound or salt has an excellent androgen receptor modulating effect, and is useful for the prevention/treatment of hypogonadism, partial androgen deficiency in aging male, decline in physical strength, cachexia, osteoporosis and the like.

- A facile synthesis of substituted 3-amino-1H-quinazoline-2,4-diones
-
A new synthesis of a series of 3-amino-1H-quinazoline-2,4-diones is described. The 1H-quinazoline-2,4-dione 10 was made starting with fluorobenzoic acid in three high yielding steps. The key step of this synthesis involved the generation of the dianion of
