A series of imidazole flavonoids as new type of protein tyrosine phosphatase inhibitors were synthesized and characterized. Most of them gave potent protein phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) inhibitory activities. Especially, compound 11a could effectively inhibit P

We report structure-activity studies of a large number of dialkyl imidazoles as inhibitors of Trypanosoma cruzi lanosterol-14α-demethylase (L14DM). The compounds have a simple structure compared to posaconazole, another L14DM inhibitor that is an anti-Chagas drug candidate. Several compounds display potency for killing T. cruzi amastigotes in vitro with values of EC 50 in the 0.4-10 nM range. Two compounds were selected for efficacy studies in a mouse model of acute Chagas disease. At oral doses of 20-50 mg/kg given after establishment of parasite infection, the compounds reduced parasitemia in the blood to undetectable levels, and analysis of remaining parasites by PCR revealed a lack of parasites in the majority of animals. These dialkyl imidazoles are substantially less expensive to produce than posaconazole and are appropriate for further development toward an anti-Chagas disease clinical candidate.

A rapid structure-activity study was performed by parallel liquid synthesis on N,N′-disubstitution of 3-amino azepin-2-one to afford potent and specific farnesyl transferase inhibitors with low nM enzymatic and cellular activities. The activities of the selected compounds were validated in vivo, and compounds 41a and 44a presented significant antitumour activity.
