Using rimonabant, a potent inverse agonist for cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1R), as parent ligand, a series of novel univalent and bivalent ligands were designed by variation of spacer length and its chemical structure. The ligands synthesized were evaluated for affinity and selectivity by radioligand displacement and a functional steady-state GTPase assay. The results showed the nature of the spacer influences the biological readout. Albeit all compounds show significantly lower affinities than rimonabant, this fact could be used to demonstrate that affinities and selectivity are influenced by the chemical structure and length of the spacer and might be helpful for designing bivalent probes for other GPCR receptors.

Human 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) is a well-validated target for anti-inflammatory therapy. Development of novel 5-LOX inhibitors with higher activities is highly demanded. In previous study, we have built a model for the active conformation of human 5-LOX, and identified naphthalen-1-yl 3,5-dinitrobenzoate (JMC-4) as a 5-LOX inhibitor by virtual screening. In the present work, 3,5-dinitrobenzoate-based 5-lipoxygenase inhibitors were developed. Twenty aryl 3,5-dinitrobenzoates, N-aryl 3,5-dinitrobenzamides and analogues were designed and synthesized. Several of them were found with significantly increased activities according to cell-free assay and human whole blood assay. The structure-activity relationship study may provide useful insights for designing effective 5-LOX inhibitors.
Amino acid binding by 2-(guanidiniocarbonyl)pyridines in aqueous solvents: A comparative binding study correlating complex stability with stereoelectronic factors

A series of guanidiniocarbonylpyridine receptors has been synthesized, and these compounds bind amino acids (carboxylate forms) in aqueous DMSO with association constants ranging from K = 30 to 460 M-1 as determined by NMR titration experiments. The differences in the complex stabilities can be correlated with steric and electrostatic effects with the aid of calculated complex structures. For example, the electrostatic repulsion between the pyridine nitrogen lone pair and the bound carboxylate makes anion binding less efficient than with the analogous pyrrole receptors previously introduced by us for carboxylate binding in water. Furthermore, steric interactions between the receptor side chain as in 2b and the bound substrate also disfavor complexation.
