Synthesis, in silico, and in vitro studies of novel dopamine D2 and D3 receptor ligands

Dopamine is an important neurotransmitter in the human brain and its altered concentrations can lead to various neurological diseases. We studied the binding of novel compounds at the dopamine D2 (D2R) and D3 (D3/sub

Benzyl Phenylsemicarbazides: A Chemistry-Driven Approach Leading to G Protein-Biased Dopamine D4 Receptor Agonists with High Subtype Selectivity

Many subtype-selective dopamine receptor ligands developed for the D2-D4 family incorporate a 1-arylpiperazine-derived primary recognition motif, which is connected to a lipophilic moiety occupying an extended binding pocket (EBP) of the receptor via an aliphatic linker of variable lengths. The evaluation of a novel group of dopamine receptor ligands now showed that highly subtype-selective ligands [up to Ki(D4.4) = 0.25 nM, D2L/D4.4 = 320, D3/D4.4 = 710 for APH199 (17)] can be obtained by choosing a relatively large and conformationally flexible 1-benzyl-1-phenylsemicarbazide substructure to fill the EBP. The novel chemotype APH199 (17) was found to act as a full agonist at the D4 receptor showing significant bias toward G protein activation over β-arrestin recruitment in comparison to quinpirole.

Design, Synthesis, Structure-Activity Relationship Studies, and Three-Dimensional Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (3D-QSAR) Modeling of a Series of O-Biphenyl Carbamates as Dual Modulators of Dopamine D3 Receptor and Fatty Acid Amide Hydrolase

We recently reported molecules designed according to the multitarget-directed ligand paradigm to exert combined activity at human fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) and dopamine receptor subtype D3 (D3R). Both targets are relevant for tackling several types of addiction (most notably nicotine addiction) and other compulsive behaviors. Here, we report an SAR exploration of a series of biphenyl-N-[4-[4-(2,3-substituted-phenyl)piperazine-1-yl]alkyl]carbamates, a novel class of molecules that had shown promising activities at the FAAH-D3R target combination in preliminary studies. We have rationalized the structural features conducive to activities at the main targets and investigated activities at two off-targets: dopamine receptor subtype D2 and endocannabinoid receptor CB1. To understand the unexpected affinity for the CB1 receptor, we devised a 3D-QSAR model, which we then prospectively validated. Compound 33 was selected for PK studies because it displayed balanced affinities for the main targets and clear selectivity over the two off-targets. 33 has good stability and oral bioavailability and can cross the blood-brain barrier.

Synthesis and evaluation of antiproliferative activity of novel quinazolin-4(3H)-one derivatives

Two series of novel quinazolin-4(3H)-one derivatives (10a–g and 11a–g) have been synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro antiproliferative activity against human HeLa, MIAPACA, MDA-MB-231, and IMR-31 cancer cell lines. The synthesized compounds were characterized by spectral (Fourier transform infrared, 1H nuclear magnetic resonance, 13C nuclear magnetic resonance, high-resolution mass spectra) methods. Among them, compounds 11e and 11g exhibited potent in vitro antiproliferative activity with GI50 values 0.02, less than 0.01 μM against MIAPACA human cancer cell line. Significantly, compounds 10a, 10b, 10c, 10g, 11b, 11c, 11d, 11e, 11f showed activity with GI50 values ranging from 0.1 to 0.87 μM against human cancer cell lines MIAPACA, MDA-MB-231, and IMR-31. We have explored the probable binding mode and key active site interactions in HDAC8 and EHMT2 proteins. The docking results are complementary to the experimental results.

Synthesis of several MPP derivatives for 99mTc-labelling and evaluated as potential 5-HT1A receptor imaging agents

The (2-methoxyphenyl) piperazine (MPP) was selected as the functional group and conjugated to dithiocarbamate through different spacers. A series of new MPP derivatives (MPPnDTC, n = 2-6) were synthesized and radiolabelled with 99mTc-nitrido core or 99mTc-tricarboxyl core as potential 5-HT1A receptor imaging agents. All the six 99mTc-labelled complexes were lipophilic and neutral. Biodistribution results showed that those radiotracers had moderate initial brain and hippocampus uptake. There have no significant relation was observed between the biological properties of these tracers with the length of its carbon chain. The radioactivity concentrations of hippocampus of 99mTcN-MPP2DTC, 99mTcN-MPP3DTC, 99mTcN-MPP4DTC, 99mTcN-MPP5DTC, 99mTcN-MPP6DTC and 99mTc(CO)3-MPP3DTC at 2 min post-injection time (p.i.) were 0.43, 1.15, 0.99, 1.04, 1.13 and 0.83 %ID/g, respectively.

Synthesis and in vitro binding studies of piperazine-alkyl-naphthamides: Impact of homology and sulphonamide/carboxamide bioisosteric replacement on the affinity for 5-HT1A, α2A, D4.2, D3 and D2L receptors

Further optimization of novel pyrrole 3-carboxamides for targeting serotonin 5-HT2A, 5-HT2C, and the serotonin transporter as a potential antidepressant

In the continuing search for novel compounds targeting serotonin 5-HT 2A, 5-HT2C, and serotonin transporter, new arylpiperazine-containing pyrrole 3-carboxamide derivatives were synthesized and evaluated. Based on the lead reported previously, structural modifications regarding N-(3-(4-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)piperazin-1-yl)propyl)-1,2-dimethyl-5- phenyl-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxamide 5, were accomplished for improvements in not only binding affinity against serotonin receptors and transporter, but also in hERG channel inhibition. Along the line, both the forced swimming tests and spontaneous locomotor activity tests were performed to distinguish between antidepressant activity and false positive results. As potential antidepressant agents, both 2,4-dimethyl-5-phenyl-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxamide and 5-tert-butyl-2-methyl-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxamide derivatives exhibited favorable in vitro and in vivo activities, warranting further investigation around these scaffolds.
