Activated T cells are key players in chronic inflammatory diseases, including atherosclerosis. Salicylates, like aspirin, display not only anti-inflammatory, anti-thrombotic, anti-atherosclerotic activities, but also immunomodulatory effects in T cells at high dosages. Here, we aimed to identify potent immunomodulators for T cells through cell-based screening from a mini-library of 300 salicylate-based small molecules, and elucidate the mechanisms. Human peripheral blood T cells were isolated from buffy coat. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate plus ionomycin (P/I) was used to stimulate T cells. Cytokine production was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. T cell activation markers were determined by flow cytometry. The activation of transcription factors and kinases was analyzed by western blotting, electrophoretic mobility shift assay, or kinase assay. Through library screening, we identified a small molecule named HS-Cm [C13H 9ClFNO2; N-(4-chloro-2-fluorophenyl)-2-hydroxybenzamide] that exhibited potent immunomodulatory effects on T cells with low cytotoxicity. In P/I-stimulated T cells, HS-Cm inhibited the production of interleukin-2, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and interferon-gamma and suppressed the expression of surface activation markers CD25, CD69, and CD71, but not CD45RO. HS-Cm down-regulated DNA-binding activities of activator protein-1 and nuclear factor-kappa B, but not nuclear factor of activated T-cells, through inhibiting c-Jun N-terminal kinase/p38 and inhibitor of kappaB alpha (IκBα) kinase (IKK)/IκBα pathways, respectively. On the basis of structure-activity relationship, HS-Cm exerted considerable inhibition of dipeptidyl-peptidase IV/CD26 activity in T cells. Our results suggested that the small molecule HS-Cm exhibiting immunomodulatory effects on T cells may be useful for therapeutics in chronic inflammatory diseases, like atherosclerosis, diabetes and autoimmune arthritis.

Inhibition of osteoclast formation is a potential strategy to prevent inflammatory bone resorption and to treat bone diseases. In the present work, the purpose was to discover modified salicylanilides and 3-phenyl-2H-benzo[e][1,3]oxazine-2,4(3H)-dione derivatives as potential antiosteoclastogenic agents. Their inhibitory effects on RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis from RAW264.7 cells were evaluated by TRAP stain assay. The most potent compounds, 1d and 5d, suppressed RANKL-induced osteoclast formation and TRAP activity dose-dependently. The cytotoxicity assay on RAW264.7 cells suggested that the inhibition of osteoclastic bone resorption by these compounds did not result from their cytotoxicity. Moreover, both compounds downregulated RANKL-induced NF-κB and NFATc1 in the nucleus, suppressed the expression of osteoclastogenesis-related marker genes during osteoclastogenesis, and prevented osteoclastic bone resorption but did not impair osteoblast differentiation in MC3T3-E1. Therefore, these modified salicylanilides and 3-phenyl-2H-benzo[e][1,3]oxazine-2,4(3H)-diones could be potential lead compounds for the development of a new class of antiresorptive agents.
