Selective inhibition of α-helix-mediated protein-protein interactions (PPIs) with small organic molecules provides great potential for the discovery of chemical probes and therapeutic agents. Protein Data Bank data mining using the HippDB database indicated that (1) the side chains of hydrophobic projecting hot spots at positions i, i + 3, and i + 7 of an α-helix had few orientations when interacting with the second protein and (2) the hot spot pockets of PPI complexes had different sizes, shapes, and chemical groups when interacting with the same hydrophobic projecting hot spots of α-helix. On the basis of these observations, a small organic molecule, 4′-fluoro-N-phenyl-[1,1′-biphenyl]-3-carboxamide, was designed as a generic scaffold that itself directly mimics the binding mode of the side chains of hydrophobic projecting hot spots at positions i, i + 3, and i + 7 of an α-helix. Convenient decoration of this generic scaffold led to the selective disruption of α-helix-mediated PPIs. A series of small-molecule inhibitors selective for β-catenin/B-cell lymphoma 9 (BCL9) over β-catenin/cadherin PPIs was designed and synthesized. The binding mode of new inhibitors was characterized by site-directed mutagenesis and structure-activity relationship studies. This new class of inhibitors can selectively disrupt β-catenin/BCL9 over β-catenin/cadherin PPIs, suppress the transactivation of canonical Wnt signaling, downregulate the expression of Wnt target genes, and inhibit the growth of Wnt/β-catenin-dependent cancer cells.

The dual role of d-mannose as a ligand for Pd catalyzed cross-coupling, and as a hydrogen source for nitro reduction is demonstrated in a modular cross coupling-nitro reduction sequence. The synthetic utility and generality of this green protocol has been illustrated by the synthesis of 20 aminobiphenyl and 10 aminostilbene derivatives in high yields through a one-pot Suzuki coupling-nitro reduction and a Heck coupling-nitro reduction, respectively, starting from halonitroarenes as substrates.

In the present study eighteen inhibitors of the hydrolytic enzymes of the endocannabinoid system were investigated for antioxidant activity using lipid peroxidation (LP) method. Among the assayed compounds ten belong to carbamates with phenyl [1,1′-biphenyl]-3-ylcarbamate (6), reported for the first time, and eight are retro-amide derivatives of palmitamine. Interestingly, results indicated that most of the tested compounds have good antioxidant properties. In particular, 1,3-di([1,1′-biphenyl]-3-yl)urea (3) shows IC50 = 26 ± 6 μM comparable to ones obtained for standard antioxidants trolox and quercetin (IC50 = 22 ± 6 μM and 23 ± 6 μM, respectively). Compound 3 was investigated further by means of DFT calculations, to clarify a possible mechanism of the antioxidant action. In order to estimate the capability of 3 to act as radical scavenger the structure was optimized at B3LYP/6–311++G** level and the respective bond dissociation enthalpies were calculated. The calculations in non-polar medium predicted as favorable mechanism a donation of a hydrogen atom to the free radical and formation of N-centered radical, while in polar solvents the mechanism of free radical scavenging by SPLET dominates over HAT H-abstraction. The possible radical scavenging mechanisms of another compound with potent antioxidant properties (IC50 = 53 ± 12 μM), the retro-amide derivative of palmitamine (compound 18), was estimated computationally based on the reaction enthalpies of a model compound (structural analogue to 18). The computations indicated that the most favorable mechanisms are hydrogen atom transfer from the hydroxyl group in meta-position of the benzamide fragment in nonpolar medium, and proton transfer from the hydroxyl group in ortho-position of the benzamide fragment in polar medium.

Monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) has an essential role in the catabolic pathway of the endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol, which makes it a potential target for highly specific inhibitors for the treatment of a number of diseases. We designed and synthesized a series of carbamate analogues of URB602. We evaluated their inhibitory activity toward human MAGL in vitro both in cell culture and lysates. The target compounds exhibited moderate to excellent inhibitory activity against MAGL. The most promising compound 2b showed good inhibitory activity with IC50 value of 4.5 ± 0.70 μM reducing MAGL activity to 82% of controls at 10 μM compared to 66% for the parent compound URB602. Interestingly, compounds 2b and 2c induce cell death through the inhibition of MAGL. Molecular modelling approaches and docking studies, used to investigate inhibitory profiles, indicated that trifluoromethyl substitutions of the aryl group and the benzene ring present at the oxygen side of the carbamate molecule had a significant impact on the activity.

Novel insecticidal targets are always in demand due to the development of resistance. OfHex1, a β-N-acetyl-d-hexosaminidase identified in Ostrinia furnacalis (Asian corn borer), is involved in insect chitin catabolism and has proven an ideal target for insecticide development. In this study, structure-based virtual screening, structure simplification, and biological evaluation are used to show that compounds with a biphenyl-sulfonamide skeleton have great potential as OfHex1 inhibitors. Specifically, compounds 10k, 10u, and 10v have Ki values of 4.30, 3.72, and 4.56 μM, respectively, and thus, they are more potent than some reported nonglycosyl-based inhibitors such as phlegmacin B1 (Ki = 26 μM), berberine (Ki = 12 μM), 2 (Ki = 11.2 μM), and 3 (Ki = 28.9 μM). Furthermore, inhibitory kinetic assessments reveal that the target compounds are competitive inhibitors with respect substrate, and based on toxicity predictions, most of them have potent drug properties. The obtained results indicate that the biphenyl-sulfonamide skeleton characterized by simple chemical structure, synthetic tractability, potent activity, and low toxicity has potential for further development in pest management targeting OfHex1.

Benzoxaboroles, as a novel class of bioactive molecules with unique physicochemical properties, have been shown to possess excellent antimicrobial activities with tavaborole approved in 2014 as an antifungal drug. Although urgently needed, the investigation of benzoxaboroles as anticancer agents has been lacking so far. In this study, we report the design, synthesis, and anticancer structure-activity relationship of a series of 7-propanamide benzoxaboroles. Compounds 103 and 115 showed potent activity against ovarian cancer cells with IC50 values of 33 and 21 nM, respectively. Apoptosis was induced by these compounds and colony formation was effectively inhibited. Furthermore, they also showed excellent efficacy in ovarian tumor xenograft mouse model.

Allosteric modulators of the cannabinoid CB1 receptor have recently been reported as an alternative approach to modulate the CB1 receptor for therapeutic benefits. In this study, we report the design and synthesis of a series of diarylureas derived from PSNCBAM-1 (2). Similar to 2, these diarylureas dose-dependently inhibited CP55,940-induced intracellular calcium mobilization and [35S]GTP-γ-S binding while enhancing [3H]CP55,940 binding to the CB1 receptor. Structure-activity relationship studies revealed that the pyridinyl ring of 2 could be replaced by other aromatic rings and the pyrrolidinyl ring is not required for CB1 allosteric modulation. 34 (RTICBM-74) had similar potencies as 2 in all in vitro assays but showed significantly improved metabolic stability to rat liver microsomes. More importantly, 34 was more effective than 2 in attenuating the reinstatement of extinguished cocaine-seeking behavior in rats, demonstrating the potential of this diarylurea series as promising candidates for the development of relapse treatment of cocaine addiction.
