Parkinson's disease (PD), a calamitous neurodegenerative disorder with no cure till date, is closely allied with the misfolding and aggregation of α-Synuclein (α -Syn). Inhibition of α-Syn aggregation is one of the optimistic approaches for the treatment for PD. Here, we carried out hypothesis-driven studies towards synthesising a series of pyrazolo-pyridine carboxylate containing compounds (7a–7m) targeted at reducing deleterious α-Syn aggregation. The target compounds were synthesized through multi-step organic synthesis reactions. From docking studies, compounds 7b, 7g and 7i displayed better interaction with the key residues of α-Syn with values: ?6.8, ?8.9 and ?7.2 Kcal/mol, respectively. In vivo transgenic C. elegans model of Synucleinopathy was used to evaluate the ability of the designed and synthesized compounds to inhibit α-Syn aggregation. These lead compounds 7b, 7g and 7i displayed 1.7, 2.4 and 1.5-fold inhibition of α-Syn with respect to the control. Further, the strategy of employing pyrazolo-pyridine-based compounds worked with success and these scaffolds could be further modified and validated for betterment of endpoints associated with PD.

Sustained vascular smooth muscle hypercontractility promotes hypertension and cardiovascular disease. The etiology of hypercontractility is not completely understood. New therapeutic targets remain vitally important for drug discovery. Here we report that Pim kinases, in combination with DAPK3, regulate contractility and control hypertension. Using a co-crystal structure of lead molecule (HS38) in complex with DAPK3, a dual Pim/DAPK3 inhibitor (HS56) and selective DAPK3 inhibitors (HS94 and HS148) were developed to provide mechanistic insight into the polypharmacology of hypertension. In vitro and ex vivo studies indicated that Pim kinases directly phosphorylate smooth muscle targets and that Pim/DAPK3 inhibition, unlike selective DAPK3 inhibition, significantly reduces contractility. In vivo, HS56 decreased blood pressure in spontaneously hypertensive mice in a dose-dependent manner without affecting heart rate. These findings suggest including Pim kinase inhibition within a multi-target engagement strategy for hypertension management. HS56 represents a significant step in the development of molecularly targeted antihypertensive medications. Carlson et al. use crystal structure-guided medicinal chemistry techniques to develop a dual Pim/DAPK3 inhibitor (HS56) that reduces myosin phosphorylation and contractility in smooth muscle. Their findings reveal the contribution of Pim kinases to the pathology of hypertension, suggesting a novel multi-target engagement strategy for molecularly targeted antihypertensive medications.
