1-Deoxy-d-xylulose-5-phosphate reductoisomerase (DXR) is a novel target for developing new antibacterial (including antituberculosis) and antimalaria drugs. Forty-one lipophilic phosphonates, representing a new class of DXR inhibitors, were synthesized, among which 5-phenylpyridin-2-ylmethylphosphonic acid possesses the most activity against E. coli DXR (EcDXR) with a K i of 420 nM. Structure-activity relationships (SAR) are discussed, which can be rationalized using our EcDXR:inhibitor structures, and a predictive quantitative SAR (QSAR) model is also developed. Since inhibition studies of DXR from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MtDXR) have not been performed well, 48 EcDXR inhibitors with a broad chemical diversity were found, however, to generally exhibit considerably reduced activity against MtDXR. The crystal structure of a MtDXR:inhibitor complex reveals the flexible loop containing the residues 198-208 has no strong interactions with the 3,4-dichlorophenyl group of the inhibitor, representing a structural basis for the reduced activity. Overall, these results provide implications in the future design and development of potent DXR inhibitors.

A series of novel pyridine-2-propanoic acids was synthesized. A structure-activity relationship study of these compounds led to the identification of potent dual PPARα/γ agonists with varied isoform selectivity. Based on the results of efficacy studies in

The syntheses of some 1--2-piperidines and their activities as κ-opioid receptor agonists are described.Selected structural modifications are made to the basic moiety and at the 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, and 6-positions on the piperidine nucleus to enable structure-activity relationships to be delineated.As a result, some highly potent and selective κ-receptor agonists have been identified.In particular, this has been achieved by introduction of oxygen-containing functionality into the 4-position of the piperidine nucleus or the 3-position of the pyrrolidinylmethyl side chain.Thus, 1--2-piperidine (10) possesses high activity in the rabbit vas deferens (LVD, κ-specific tissue) (IC50 = 0.20 nM) and is a potent antinociceptive agent, as determined by the mouse acetylcholine-induced abdominal constriction test (MAC) (ED50 = 0.06 mg/kg, sc).The spirocyclic analogue 8--7-(1-pyrrolidinylmethyl)-1,4-dioxa-8-azaspirodecane (39) showed exceptionally potent activity: LVD, IC50 = 0.10 nM; MAC, ED50 = 0.001 mg/kg, sc.Both 10 and 39 displayed high selectivity for κ-opioid receptors over both μ- and δ-opioid receptor subtypes.
