A chemical chaperone-based drug candidate is effective in a mouse model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease characterized by the selective death of motor neurons and skeletal muscle atrophy. The majority of ALS cases are acquired spontaneously, with inherited disease accounting for only 10 % of all cases. Recent studies provide compelling evidence that aggregates of misfolded proteins underlie both types of ALS. Small molecules such as artificial chaperones can prevent or even reverse the aggregation of proteins associated with various human diseases. However, their very high active concentration (micromolar range) severely limits their utility as drugs. We synthesized several ester and amide derivatives of chemical chaperones. The lead compound 14, 3-((5-((4,6-dimethylpyridin-2-yl)methoxy)-5-oxopentanoyl)oxy)-N,N-dimethylpropan-1-amine oxide shows, in the micromolar concentration range, both neuronal and astrocyte protective effects in vitro; at daily doses of 10 mg kg-1 14 improved the neurological functions and delayed body weight loss in ALS mice. Members of this new chemical chaperone derivative class are strong candidates for the development of new drugs for ALS patients.

5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (FLAP) inhibitors. Part 4: Development of 3-[3-tert-butylsulfanyl-1-[4-(6-ethoxypyridin-3-yl)benzyl]-5-(5-methylpyridin- 2-ylmethoxy)-1 H -indol-2-yl]-2,2-dimethylpropionic acid (AM803), a potent, oral, once daily FLAP inhibitor

The potent 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (FLAP) inhibitor 3-[3-tert-butylsulfanyl-1-[4-(6-ethoxypyridin-3-yl)benzyl]-5-(5-methylpyridin-2- ylmethoxy)-1H-indol-2-yl]-2,2-dimethylpropionic acid 11cc is described (AM803, now GSK2190915). Building upon AM103 (1) (Hutchinson et al. J. Med Chem.2009, 52, 5803-5815; Stock et al. Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 2010, 20, 213-217; Stock et al. Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett.2010, 20, 4598-4601), SAR studies centering around the pyridine moiety led to the discovery of compounds that exhibit significantly increased potency in a human whole blood assay measuring LTB4 inhibition with longer drug preincubation times (15 min vs 5 h). Further studies identified 11cc with a potency of 2.9 nM in FLAP binding, an IC50 of 76 nM for inhibition of LTB4 in human blood (5 h incubation) and excellent preclinical toxicology and pharmacokinetics in rat and dog. 11cc also demonstrated an extended pharmacodynamic effect in a rodent bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) model. This compound has successfully completed phase 1 clinical studies in healthy volunteers and is currently undergoing phase 2 trials in asthmatic patients.

Rationally designed high-affinity 2-amino-6-halopurine heat shock protein 90 inhibitors that exhibit potent antitumor activity

Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is a molecular chaperone protein implicated in stabilizing the conformation and maintaining the function of many cell-signaling proteins. Many oncogenic proteins are more dependent on Hsp90 in maintaining their conformation, stability, and maturation than their normal counterparts. Furthermore, recent data show that Hsp90 exists in an activated form in malignant cells but in a latent inactive form in normal tissues, suggesting that inhibitors selective for the activated form could provide a high therapeutic index. Hence, Hsp90 is emerging as an exciting new target for the treatment of cancer. We now report on a novel series of 2-amino-6-halopurine Hsp90 inhibitors exemplified by 2-amino-6-chloro-9-(4-iodo-3,5-dimethylpyridin- 2-ylmethyl)purine (30). These highly potent inhibitors (IC50 of 30 = 0.009 μM in a HER-2 degradation assay) also display excellent antiproliferative activity against various tumor cell lines (IC50 of 30 = 0.03 μM in MCF7 cells). Moreover, this class of inhibitors shows higher affinity for the activated form of Hsp90 compared to our earlier 8-sulfanylpurine Hsp90 inhibitor series. When administered orally to mice, these compounds exhibited potent tumor growth inhibition (>80%) in an N87 xenograft model, similar to that observed with 17-allylamino-17- desmethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG), which is a compound currently in phase I/II clinical trials.

Structure-activity relationship of 2-[[(2-Pyridyl)methyl]thio]-1H- benzimidazoles as anti Helicobacter pylori agents in vitro and evaluation of their in vivo efficacy

A relationship between the structure of 21 2-[[(2-pyridyl)methyl]thio]- 1H-benzimidazoles (6) and their anti Helicobacter pylori activity expressed as minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) values is described. Observed MBCs ranged from 256 to 1 μg/mL. The structure - activity relationship (SAR) showed that larger and more lipophilic compounds, especially compounds with such substituents in the 4-position of the pyridyl moiety, generally had lower MBC values. Four new compounds 'that were predicted to be potent by the established SAR model were synthesized and tested. One such compound, i.e., 2-[[(4-[(cyclopropylmethyl)oxy]3-methyl-2-pyridyl)methyl]thio]-1H- benzimidazole (18), was tested for in vivo efficacy in a mouse Helicobacter felis model (125 μmol/kg bid given orally for 4 days, n = 4). Unfortunately, antibacterial activity could not be clearly demonstrated in this model. Instead a potent acid secretion inhibition was observed. This finding was attributed to the methylthio compound being oxidized to the corresponding methyl sulfinyl derivative, i.e., a proton pump inhibitor, in vivo. Although the antibacterial activity had the potential of decreasing H. felis cell counts in vivo the proton pump inhibitory effect became dominant and actually promoted H. felis cell growth. Hence, we conclude that the antibacterial utility of the 2-[[(2-pyridyl)methyl]thio]1H-benzimidazoles (6) as a compound class is compromised by their propensity to become proton pump inhibitors upon metabolic oxidation in vivo.

2--1H-thienoimidazoles. A Novel Class of Gastric H+/K+-ATPase Inhibitors

2-thienoimidazoles were synthesized and investigated as potential inhibitors of gastric H+/K+-ATPase.The isomers of the two possible thienoimidazole series were found to be potent inhibitors of gastric acid secretion in vitro and in vivo.Structure-activity relationships indicate that especially lipophilic alkoxy, benzyloxy, and phenoxy substituents with additional electron-demanding properties in the 4-position of the pyridine moiety combined with an unsubstituted thienoimidazole lead to highly active compounds with a favorable chemical stability.Various substitution patterns in the thienoimidazole moiety result in lower biological activity.The heptafluorobutyloxy derivative saviprazole (HOE 731, 5d) was selected for further development and is currently undergoing clinical evaluation.Comprehensive pharmacological studies indicate a pharmacodynamic profile different to omeprazole, the first H+/K+-ATPase blocker introduced on the market.
