Synthesis and antiproliferative activity of substituted 3[2-(1h-indol-3-yl)- 1,3-thiazol-4-yl]-1h-pyrrolo[3,2-b]pyridines, marine alkaloid nortopsentin analogues

A large number of indolyl-4-azaindolyl thiazoles, nortopsentin analogues, were conveniently synthesized. The antiproliferative activity of the new derivatives was examined against four human tumor cell lines with different histologic origin. Seven derivatives consistently reduced the growth of the experimental models independently of TP53 gene status and exhibited the highest activity against the malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (STO) cell line. The most active compound of this series acts as a CDK1 inhibitor, and was found to cause cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase, to induce apoptosis by preventing the phosphorylation of survivin in Thr34 and to increase the cytotoxic activity of paclitaxel in STO cells.

Blue fluorescent amino acids as in vivo building blocks for proteins

In vivo expression of colored proteins without post-translational modification or chemical functionalization is highly desired for protein studies and cell biology. Cell-permeable tryptophan analogues, such as azatryptophans, have proved to be almost ideal isosteric substitutes for natural tryptophan in cellular proteins. Their unique spectral features, such as markedly redshifted fluorescence, are transmitted into protein structures upon incorporation. Among the azaindoles under study (2-, 4-, 5-, 6-, and 7-azaindole) 4-azaindole has exhibited the largest Stokes shift (～130 nm) in steady-state fluorescence measurements. It is also highly biocompatible and as 4-azatryptophan it can be translated into target protein sequences. However, its quantum yield and fluorescence intensity are still significantly lower when compared with natural indole/tryptophan. Since azatryptophans are hydrophilic, their presence in the hydrophobic core of proteins could be harmful. In order to overcome these limitations we have performed nitrogen methylation of azaindoles and generated mono- and dimethylated azaindoles. Some of these methyl derivatives retain the pronounced red shift present in the parent 4-azaindole, but with much higher fluorescence intensity (reaching the level of indole/tryptophan). Therefore, the blue fluorescence of azaindole-containing proteins could be further enhanced by the use of methylated analogues. Further substitution of any azaindole ring with either endo- or exocyclic nitrogen will not yield a spectral fluorescence maximum shift beyond 450 nm under steady-state conditions in the physiological milieu. However, green fluorescence is a special feature of tautomeric species of azaindoles in various nonaqueous solvents. Thus, the design or evolution of the protein interior combined with the incorporation of these azaindoles might lead to the generation of specific chromophore microenvironments that facilitate tautomeric or protonated/deprotoned states associated with green fluorescence.

Site-selective azaindole arylation at the azine and azole rings via N-oxide activation

Subjection of N-methyl 6-and 7-azaindole N-oxides to a Pd(OAc) 2/DavePhos catalyst system enables regioselective direct arylation of the azine ring. Following deoxygenation, 7-azaindole substrates undergo an additional regioselective azole direct arylation event in good yield.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel 4-azaindolyl-indolyl-maleimides as glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) inhibitors

A series of novel 4-azaindolyl-indolyl-maleimides were synthesized and evaluated for their GSK-3β inhibitory activity. Most compounds exhibited high potency to GSK-3β. Among them, compound 7c was the most promising GSK-3β inhibitor. Preliminary structure-activity relationships were discussed based on the experimental data obtained and showed that different substituents on the indole ring and side chains at 1-position of indole had varying degrees of influence on the GSK-3β inhibitory potency. In a cell-based functional assay, compounds 7c and 15a significantly reduced Aβ-induced Tau hyperphosphorylation by inhibiting GSK-3β.

Structure-activity relationship of antiparasitic and cytotoxic indoloquinoline alkaloids, and their tricyclic and bicyclic analogues

Based on the indoloquinoline alkaloids cryptolepine (1), neocryptolepine (2), isocryptolepine (3) and isoneocryptolepine (4), used as lead compounds for new antimalarial agents, a series of tricyclic and bicyclic analogues, including carbolines, azaindoles, pyrroloquinolines and pyrroloisoquinolines was synthesized and biologically evaluated. None of the bicyclic compounds was significantly active against the chloroquine-resistant strain Plasmodium falciparum K1, in contrast to the tricyclic derivatives. The tricyclic compound 2-methyl-2H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole (9), or 2-methyl-β-carboline, showed the best in vitro activity, with an IC50 value of 0.45 μM against P. falciparum K1, without apparent cytotoxicity against L6 cells (SI > 1000). However, this compound was not active in the Plasmodium berghei mouse model. Structure-activity relationships are discussed and compared with related naturally occurring compounds.

Discovery of cyclopentane- and cyclohexane-trans-1,3-diamines as potent melanin-concentrating hormone receptor 1 antagonists

We herein report the optimization of cyclopentane- and cyclohexane-1,3-diamine derivatives as novel and potent MCH-R1 antagonists. Structural modifications of the 2-amino-quinoline and thiophene moieties found in the initial lead compound served to improve its metabolic stability profile and MCH-R1 affinity, and revealed unprecedented SAR when compared to other 2-amino-quinoline-containing MCH-R1 antagonists.
