Protease-activated receptor 2 (PAR2) is a member of G protein-coupled receptor and its activation initiates diverse inflammatory responses. Recent studies suggest that antagonists of PAR2 may provide a novel therapeutic strategy for inflammatory diseases. In this study, we have developed a series of 2-aryloxy-4-amino-quinazoline derivatives as PAR2 antagonists and examined their effects against LPS-induced inflammatory responses in RAW 264.7 macrophages. Among these derivatives, compound 2f displayed the greatest antagonistic activity with the IC50 value of 2.8 μM. Binding modes of the newly identified PAR2 antagonists were analyzed by molecular docking using IFD/MM-GBSA methods in the putative binding site of PAR2 homology model. Moreover, 2f demonstrated significant inhibitory effects on the LPS-activated pro-inflammatory mediators including nitric oxide (NO), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) through the regulation of various intracellular signaling pathways involving nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), activator protein 1 (AP-1) and the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK). Furthermore, administration of 2f significantly reduced the mortality of LPS-induced sepsis in mice. These results provide useful insights into the development of novel PAR2 antagonists with anti-inflammatory activity in vitro and in vivo.

Molecular hybridization is a powerful strategy in drug discovery. A series of novel diarylbenzopyrimidine (DABP) analogues were developed by the hybridization of FDA-approved drugs etravirine (ETR) and efavirenz (EFV) as potential HIV-1 nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs). Substituent modifications resulted in the identification of new DABPs with the combination of the strengths of the two drugs, especially compound 12d, which showed promising activity toward the EFV-resistant K103N mutant. 12d also had a favorable pharmacokinetic (PK) profile with liver microsome clearances of 14.4 μL/min/mg (human) and 33.2 μL/min/mg (rat) and an oral bioavailability of 15.5% in rat. However, its activity against the E138K mutant was still unsatisfactory; E138K is the most prevalent NNRTI resistance-associated mutant in ETR treatment. Further optimizations resulted in a highly potent compound (12z) with no substituents on the phenyl ring and a 2-methyl-6-nitro substitution pattern on the 4-cyanovinyl-2,6-disubstitued phenyl motif. The antiviral activity of this compound was much higher than those of ETR and EFV against the WT, E138K, and K103N variants (EC50 = 3.4, 4.3, and 3.6 nM, respectively), and the cytotoxicity was decreased while the selectivity index (SI) was increased. In particular, this compound exhibited acceptable intrinsic liver microsome stability (human, 34.5 μL/min/mg; rat, 33.2 μL/min/mg) and maintained the good PK profile of its parent compound EFV and showed an oral bioavailability of 16.5% in rat. Molecular docking and structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis provided further insights into the binding of the DABPs with HIV-1 reverse transcriptase and provided a deeper understanding of the key structural features responsible for their interactions.
