RhoA, a member of the Rho GTPases, is involved in a variety of cellular functions and could be a suitable therapeutic target for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. However, few small-molecule RhoA inhibitors have been reported. Based on our previously reported lead compounds, 32 new 2-substituted quinoline (or quinoxaline) derivatives were synthesized and tested in biological assays. Six compounds showed high RhoA inhibitory activities, with IC50 values of 1.17-1.84 μM. Among these, (E)-3-(3-(ethyl(quinolin-2-yl)amino)phenyl)acrylic acid (26b) and (E)-3-(3-(butyl(quinolin-2-yl)amino)phenyl)acrylic acid (26d) demonstrated noticeable vasorelaxation effects against phenylephrine-induced contraction in thoracic aorta artery rings, and compound 26b had good water solubility and showed significant in vivo efficacy, which was similar to that of 5-(1,4-diazepane-1-sulfonyl)isoquinoline (fasudil) in a subarachnoid hemorrhage-cardiovascular model. To the best of our knowledge, compound 26b is the first example of a small-molecule RhoA inhibitor with potent in vivo efficacy, which could serve as a good lead for designing cardiovascular agents.

Near-dye experience: Long, flexible carbon chains in the lateral anchoring groups of the donor part of a donor-π acceptor organic dye increase the power conversion efficiency dramatically. This performance enhancement can be ascribed to the prevention of the formation of molecular aggregates on the semiconductor nanoparticles, resulting in a lower recombination rate between transported electrons and I3- ions. A cell based on the new dye, HY113, gives a maximum IPCE value of 93% at 660nm. Copyright

Herein we report the first exploration of a dual-targeting drug design strategy to improve the efficacy of small-molecule cancer immunotherapy. New hybrids of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) inhibitors and DNA alkylating nitrogen mustards that respectively target IDO1 and DNA were rationally designed. As the first-in-class examples of such molecules, they were found to exhibit significantly enhanced anticancer activity in vitro and in vivo with low toxicity. This proof-of-concept study has established a critical step toward the development of a novel and effective immunotherapy for the treatment of cancers.

RhoA is a member of Rho GTPases, a subgroup of the Ras superfamily of small GTP-binding proteins. RhoA, as an important regulator of diverse cellular signaling pathways, plays significant roles in cytoskeletal organization, transcription, and cell-cycle progression. The RhoA/ROCK inhibitors have emerged as a new promising treatment for cardiovascular diseases. However, to date, RhoA inhibitors are macromolecules, and to our knowledge, small molecular-based inhibitors have not been reported. In this study, a series of first-in-class small molecular RhoA inhibitors have been discovered by using structure-based virtual screening in conjunction with chemical synthesis and bioassay. Virtual screening of ~200,000 compounds, followed by SPR-based binding affinity assays resulted in three compounds with binding affinities to RhoA at the micromolar level (compounds 1-3). Compound 1 was selected for further structure modifications in considering binding activity and synthesis ease. Fourty-one new compounds (1, 12a-v, 13a-h, and 14a-j) were designed and synthesized accordingly. It was found that eight (12a, 12j, 14a, 14b, 14d, 14e, 14 g, and 14h) showed high RhoA inhibition activities with IC50 values of 1.24 to 3.00 μM. A pharmacological assay indicated that two compounds (14g and 14 h) demonstrated noticeable vasorelaxation effects against PE-induced contraction in thoracic aorta artery rings and served as good leads for developing more potent cardiovascular agents.
