The serine hydrolase monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) is involved in a plethora of pathological conditions, in particular pain and inflammation, various types of cancer, metabolic, neurological and cardiovascular disorders, and is therefore a promising target for drug development. Although a large number of irreversible-acting MAGL inhibitors have been discovered over the past years, there are only few compounds known so far which inhibit the enzyme in a reversible manner. Therefore, much effort is put into the development of novel chemical entities showing reversible inhibitory behavior, which is thought to cause less undesired side effects. To explore a wide range of chemical structures as MAGL binders, we have applied a virtual screening approach by docking small molecules into the crystal structure of human MAGL (hMAGL) and envisaged a library of 45 selected compounds which were then synthesized. Biochemical investigations included the determination of the inhibitory potency on hMAGL and two related hydrolases, i.e. human fatty acid amide hydrolase (hFAAH) and murine cholesterol esterase (mCEase). The most promising candidates from theses analyses, i.e. three ω-quinazolinonylalkyl aryl ureas bearing alkyl spacers of three to five methylene groups, exhibited IC50 values of 20–41 μM and reversible, detergent-insensitive behavior towards hMAGL. Among these compounds, the inhibitor 1-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-3-(4-(4-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-2-yl)butyl)urea (96) was selected for further kinetic characterization, yielding a dissociation constant Ki = 15.4 μM and a mixed-type inhibition with a pronounced competitive component (α = 8.94). This mode of inhibition was further supported by a docking experiment, which suggested that the inhibitor occupies the substrate binding pocket of hMAGL.

The therapeutic use of A2A adenosine receptor (AR) antagonists for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson and Alzheimer diseases, is a very promising approach. Moreover, the potential therapeutic role of A2A AR antagonists to avoid both immunoescaping of tumor cells and tumor development is well documented. Herein, we report on the synthesis and biological evaluation of a new set of piperazine-and piperidine-containing 7-amino-2-(furan-2-yl)thiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine derivatives designed as human A2A AR antagonists/inverse agonists. Binding and potency data indicated that a good number of potent and selective hA2A AR inverse agonists were found. Amongst them, the 2-(furan-2-yl)-N5-(2-(4-phenylpiperazin-1-yl)ethyl)thiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine-5,7-diamine 11 exhibited the highest A2A AR binding affinity (Ki = 8.62 nM) as well as inverse agonist potency (IC50 = 7.42 nM). In addition, bioinformatics prediction using the web tool SwissADME revealed that 8, 11, and 19 possessed good drug-likeness profiles.

A series of benzamide scaffolds were designed and synthesized by the thiazinone ring opening of PBTZ169, and N-benzyl 3,5-dinitrobenzamides were finally identified as anti-TB agents in this work. 3,5-Dinitrobenzamides D5, 6, 7, and 12 exhibit excellent in vitro activity against the drug susceptive Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv strain (MIC: 0.0625 μg/mL) and two clinically isolated multidrug-resistant strains (MIC 0.016-0.125 μg/mL). Compound D6 displays acceptable safety and better pharmacokinetic profiles than PBTZ169, suggesting its promising potential to be a lead compound for future antitubercular drug discovery.

We report herein the design and synthesis of “novel imidazo [1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxamides (IPAs)” bearing a variety of different linkers, based on the structure of IMB-1402 discovered in our lab. Results reveal that 2,6-dimethyl-N-[2-(phenylamino)ethyl] IPAs with an electron-donating group on the benzene ring as a potent scaffold. Compounds 26g and 26h have considerable activity (MIC: 0.041–2.64 μM) against drug-sensitive/resistant MTB strains, and they have acceptable safety indices against MTB H37Rv with the SI values of 4395 and 1405, respectively. Moreover, N-[2-(piperazin-1-yl)ethyl] moiety was also identified as a potentially alternative linker (compound 31), opening a new direction for further SAR studies.

New analogues of the recently published compound DDD107498 were prepared. Their activities were examined in vitro against the chloroquine-sensitive NF54 strain. The most active were also tested against the multiresistant K1 strain of Plasmodium falciparum. A couple of the newly synthesized compounds showed promising antiplasmodial activity and selectivity. A single compound showed adequate reduction of parasitaemia (98.1%) in mice infected with Plasmodium berghei. Survival time was doubled compared to control. The results of the biological tests of the novel compounds were compared with the activities of drugs in use. Structure-activity relationships were discussed.

Classical drug design and development rely mostly on affinity- or potency-driven structure-activity relationships (SAR). Thus far, a given compound's binding kinetics have been largely ignored, the importance of which is now being increasingly recognized. In the present study, we performed an extensive structure-kinetics relationship (SKR) study in addition to a traditional SAR analysis at the adenosine A2A receptor (A 2AR). The ensemble of 24 A2AR compounds, all triazolotriazine derivatives resembling the prototypic antagonist ZM241385 (4-(2-((7-amino-2-(furan-2-yl)-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a][1,3,5]triazin-5-yl)amino) ethyl)phenol), displayed only minor differences in affinity, although they varied substantially in their dissociation rates from the receptor. We believe that such a combination of SKR and SAR analyses, as we have done with the A 2AR, will have general importance for the superfamily of G protein-coupled receptors, as it can serve as a new strategy to tailor the interaction between ligand and receptor. Above and beyond: Insight into the binding kinetics of ZM241385 derivatives at the human adenosine A2A receptor has provided additional information beyond a traditional structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis. The strategy, combining a structure-kinetics relationship investigation and SAR, can serve as an important tool for more directed medicinal chemistry efforts in the future.
