We designed and synthesized 48 aryl-1H-imidazole derivatives and investigated their in vitro growth inhibitory activity in cancer cell lines known to present various levels of resistance to proapoptotic stimuli. The IC50 in vitro growth inhibitory concentration of these compounds ranged from >100 μM to single digit μM. Among the most active compounds, 2i displayed similar in vitro growth inhibition in cancer cells independent of the cells' levels of resistance to proapoptotic stimuli and was found to be cytostatic in melanoma cell lines. Compound 2i was then tested by the National Cancer Institute Human Tumor Cell Line Anti-Cancer Drug Screen, and the NCI COMPARE algorithm did not reveal any correlation between its growth inhibition profiles with the NCI database compound profiles. The use of transcriptomically characterized melanoma models then enabled us to highlight mitochondrial targeting by 2i. This hypothesis was further confirmed by reactive oxygen production measurement and oxygen consumption analysis.

Since the identification of the dopamine D43 receptor subtype and speculations about its possible involvement in schizophrenia, much work has been put into development of selective D4 ligands. These selective ligands may be effective antipsychotics without extrapyramidal side effects. This work describes the synthesis of a new series of 2,4-disubstituted morpholines and 2,4-disubstituted 1,4-oxazepanes with selectivity for the dopamine D4 receptor. A 3D-QSAR analysis using the GRID/GOLPE methodology was performed with the purpose to get a better understanding of the relationship between chemical structure and biological activity. Inspection of the coefficient plots allowed us to identify that regions which are important for affinity are situated around the two benzene ring systems, a p-chlorobenzyl group, and the aliphatic amine belonging to the morpholine or 1,4-oxazepane system. In addition, the size of the morpholine or 1,4-oxazepane ring seems to be important for affinity.
