Glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3)has become known for its multifactorial involvement in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. In this study, a benzothiazole- and benzimidazole set of 1-aryl-3-(4-methoxybenzyl)ureas were synthesised as proposed Cys199-targeted covalent inhibitors of GSK-3β, through the incorporation of an electrophilic warhead onto their ring scaffolds. The nitrile-substituted benzimidazolylurea 2b (IC50 = 0.086 ± 0.023 μM)and halomethylketone-substituted benzimidazolylurea 9b (IC50 = 0.13 ± 0.060 μM)displayed high GSK-3β inhibitory activity, in comparison to reference inhibitor AR-A014418 (1, IC50 = 0.072 ± 0.043)in our assay. The results suggest further investigation of 2b and 9b as potential covalent inhibitors of GSK-3β, since a targeted interaction might provide improved kinase-selectivity.

Photoacoustic (PA) imaging is an emerging imaging modality that utilizes optical excitation and acoustic detection to enable high resolution at centimeter depths. The development of activatable PA probes can expand the utility of this technology to allow for detection of specific stimuli within live-animal models. Herein, we report the design, development, and evaluation of a series of Acoustogenic Probe(s) for Nitric Oxide (APNO) for the ratiometric, analyte-specific detection of nitric oxide (NO) in vivo. The best probe in the series, APNO-5, rapidly responds to NO to form an N-nitroso product with a concomitant 91 nm hypsochromic shift. This property enables ratiometric PA imaging upon selective irradiation of APNO-5 and the corresponding product, tAPNO-5. Moreover, APNO-5 displays the requisite photophysical characteristics for in vivo PA imaging (e.g., high absorptivity, low quantum yield) as well as high biocompatibility, stability, and selectivity for NO over a variety of biologically relevant analytes. APNO-5 was successfully applied to the detection of endogenous NO in a murine lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation model. Our studies show a 1.9-fold increase in PA signal at 680 nm and a 1.3-fold ratiometric turn-on relative to a saline control.

Within a project aimed at discovering new Flaviviridae inhibitors, new variously substituted 2-phenylbenzimidazoles were synthesized and evaluated in cell-based assays for cytotoxicity and antiviral activity against viruses representatives of the three genera of the Flaviviridae family, i.e.: Pestivirus (BVDV), Flavivirus (YFV) and Hepacivirus (HCV). Title compounds were also tested against RNA viruses representative of other single-stranded, positive-sense (ssRNA+) negative-sense (RNA-), or double-stranded (dsRNA) genomes, as well as against representatives of two DNA virus families. Nine compounds showed activity against BVDV (EC50 = 0.8-8.0 μM), compound 31 being the most potent (EC50 = 0.80 μM) and selective (SI = CC50/EC50 = >100). When tested in an HCV replicon assay, compound 31 resulted again the most potent, displaying an EC50 value of 1.11 μM and an SI of 100. Besides inhibiting BVDV, two compounds (35 and 38) showed a moderate activity also against YFV (EC 50 = 13 μM). Interestingly, 35 was moderately active also against RSV (EC50 = 25 μM).

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.
