Aldo-keto reductase 1C3 (AKR1C3; type 5 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase) is overexpressed in castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) and is implicated in the intratumoral biosynthesis of testosterone and 5α-dihydrotestosterone. Selective AKR1C3 inhibitors are required because compounds should not inhibit the highly related AKR1C1 and AKR1C2 isoforms which are involved in the inactivation of 5α-dihydrotestosterone. NSAIDs, N-phenylanthranilates in particular, are potent but nonselective AKR1C3 inhibitors. Using flufenamic acid, 2-{[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]amino}benzoic acid, as lead compound, five classes of structural analogues were synthesized and evaluated for AKR1C3 inhibitory potency and selectivity. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies revealed that a meta-carboxylic acid group relative to the amine conferred pronounced AKR1C3 selectivity without loss of potency, while electron withdrawing groups on the phenylamino B-ring were optimal for AKR1C3 inhibition. Lead compounds did not inhibit COX-1 or COX-2 but blocked the AKR1C3 mediated production of testosterone in LNCaP-AKR1C3 cells. These compounds offer promising leads toward new therapeutics for CRPC.

Eight small molecules were synthesized to evaluate the structure activity relationships (SAR) of N-substituted anthranilic acids. The molecules were synthesized by benzylation or arylation of methyl anthranilate. A light scattering-based amyloid fibril formation assay was used to evaluate potential inhibitors of transthyretin (TTR) amyloid fibril formation in vitro. The m-carboxyphenylated and o-trifluoromethylphenylated anthranilic acids are potent inhibitors that will be subjected to further SAR and structural analysis.
Structure-activity relationship of quinazolinedione inhibitors of calcium-independent phosphodiesterase

A series of quinazolinediones and azaquinazolinediones is described which possess potent inhibitory activity toward the calcium-independent phosphodiesterase enzyme (CaIPDE). In vivo testing showed that this in vitro activity translates to animal models p
