ROLES OF MODULATORS OF INTERSECTIN-CDC42 SIGNALING IN ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE
-
Paragraph 0272; 0275, (2019/04/14)
Methods of treating Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative and/or neurocognitive and/or neurodevelopmental diseases are described. The methods comprise the administration of compounds that modulate an activity of cell division control protein 42 (Cdc42), such as the interaction between Cdc42 and intersectin (ITSN). Exemplary modulator compounds include thioureas, disulfonamides of fused aromatic systems (e.g., benzofuran), and acyl hydrazones, among others. Some of the modulator compounds act as activators of Cdc42, while others act as inhibitors. In some cases, the modulator compound has dual functionality and the ability of the modulator compound to act as an inhibitor or activator depends on whether or not Cdc42 is already activated in a particular disease stage or biological environment by an upstream activating signal of Cdc42.

Interleukin-1β converting enzyme contributes in various inflammatory and autoimmune diseases by maturing pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-18 and IL-33. Therefore, inhibition caspase-1 may provide a potential therapeutic strategy for the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases. Here we have reported structure-based design, synthesis and biological evaluation of 2,4-diaminopyrimidine derivatives (6a-6w) as potential caspase-1 inhibitors. Six compounds 6m, 6n, 6o, 6p, 6q and 6r showed significant enzymatic inhibition with IC5 0 ranging from 0.022 to 0.078 μM. These compounds also displayed excellent cellular potency at sub-micromolar concentration. Moreover, molecular docking studies provided the useful binding insights specific for caspase-1 inhibition. All these results indicated that compounds 6m, 6n and 6o could be potential leads for the development of newer caspase-1 inhibitors as anti-inflammatory agents.

A series of new aryloxyacetamide derivatives 10a-s and 14a-m are designed and synthesized. Their protective activities against the glutamate-induced cell death were investigated in differentiated rat pheochromocytoma cells (PC12 cells). Most compounds exhibited neuroprotective effects, especially for 10m, 10r, 14b and 14c, which showed potential protection of PC12 cells at three doses (0.1, 1.0, 10 μM). MTT assay, Hoechst 33342/PI double staining, and high content screening (HCS) revealed that pretreatment of the cells with 10m, 10r, 14b and 14c has significantly decreased the extent of cell apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. The results of western blot analysis demonstrated these compounds suppressed apoptosis of glutamate-induced PC12 cells via caspase-3 pathway. These compounds can be lead compounds for further discovery of neuroprotective agents for treating cerebral ischemic stroke. Basic structure-activity relationships are also presented.

The development of cruzain inhibitors has been driven by the urgent need to develop novel and more effective drugs for the treatment of Chagas' disease. Herein, we report the lead optimization of a class of noncovalent cruzain inhibitors, starting from an inhibitor previously cocrystallized with the enzyme (Ki = 0.8 μM). With the goal of achieving a better understanding of the structure-activity relationships, we have synthesized and evaluated a series of over 40 analogues, leading to the development of a very promising competitive inhibitor (8r, IC50 = 200 nM, Ki = 82 nM). Investigation of the in vitro trypanocidal activity and preliminary cytotoxicity revealed the potential of the most potent cruzain inhibitors in guiding further medicinal chemistry efforts to develop drug candidates for Chagas' disease.

Novel triazole compounds containing ester group were synthesized. Their structure were confirmed by means of IR, 1H NMR and elemental analysis. The single crystal structure of compound (1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl 3-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)propanoate (compound 3c) was determined via X-ray diffraction. It crystallizes in a monoclinic system with space group P2(1)/c, a = 1.0814(2) nm, b = 0.64514(13) nm, c = 1.8698(4) nm, β = 101.05(3)°, Z = 4, V = 1.2802(5) nm3, Dc = 1.557 Mg/m3, μ = 0.508 mm-1, F(000) = 616 and final R1 = 0.0700. Intermolecular hydrogen-bond and φ-φ stacking interactions exit in the lattice, facilitating the stabilization of crystal structure. The results of the biological test show that these compounds have some fungicidal activity.

Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) is one of the most neglected diseases in the tropic regions, which is fatal if not treated in time. There is an urgent need for new therapeutics, especially those in new chemical classes. Leucyl-tRNA synthetase (LeuRS) has been paid much attention as a recently clinically validated antimicrobial target. Our group has previously reported T. brucei LeuRS (TbLeuRS) inhibitors, including benzoxaboroles targeting the editing site and pyrrolinones targeting the synthetic site. Here we report the discovery of N-(4-sulfamoylphenyl)thioureas as a new class of TbLeuRS inhibitors. The R1 and R2 groups, reminiscent of the leucyl and adenyl regions of aa-AMP and aa-AMS, were optimized to result in a significant 13-fold increase of inhibitory activity (compound 19, IC 50 = 13.7 μM). Aided by ligand-protein docking, the 1,3-substitution at the central phenyl ring was predicted and proved to give significantly improved activity (59, IC50 = 1.1 μM). This work provided a new scaffold for the exploration of novel inhibitors against TbLeuRS, which may become potential therapeutics for the treatment of HAT.

On the basis of the previous work for optimization of O,O-diethyl α-(substituted phenoxyacetoxy)alkylphosphonates, further extensive syntheticmodifications were made to the substituents in alkylphosphonate and phenoxymoieties of the title compounds. New O,O-dimethyl α-(substituted phenoxyacetoxy)alkylphosphonates were synthesized as potential inhibitors of pyruvate dehydorogenase complex (PDHc). Their herbicidal activity and efficacy in vitro against PDHc were examined. Some of these compounds exhibited significant herbicidal activity and were demonstrated to be effective inhibitors of PDHc from three different plants. The structure-activity relationships of these compounds including previously reported analogous compoundswere studied by examining their herbicidal activities. Both inhibitory potency against PDHc and herbicidal activity of title compounds could be increased greatly by optimizing substituent groups of the title compounds. O,O-Dimethyl α-(2,4- dichlorophenoxyacetoxy)ethylphosphonate (I-5), which acted as a competitive inhibitor of PDHc with much higher inhibitory potency against PDHc from Pisum sativum and Phaseolus radiatus than from Oryza sativa, was found to be themost effective compound against broadleaf weeds and showed potential utility as herbicide.

experimental part, p. 4726 - 4733 (2010/01/06)
A series of 1-ethyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-7(1-piperazinyl)quinoline-3-carboxylic acid (norfloxacin) derivatives were prepared according to the principle of combinating bioactive substructures and tested for their activities against five plant pathogenic bacteria and three fungi in vitro. The preliminary bioassays indicated that almost all synthesized target compounds retained the antibacterial activities of norfloxacin and had some antifungal activities as carboxylic acid amide compounds. The activities of compounds 1 and 22 against Xanthomonas oryzae were better than norfloxacin and all tested compounds had better antibacterial activities as compared to the agricultural streptomycin sulfate (a commercial bactericide) against X. oryzae, Xanthomonas axonopodis and Erwinia aroideae. Additionally, compounds 2 and 20 displayed good antifungal activities against Rhizoctonia solani and their inhibition of growth reached 83% and 94% respectively at the concentration of 200 mg/L.
