3-Methoxybenzamide (3-MBA) derivatives have been identified as novel class of potent antibacterial agents targeting the bacterial cell division protein FtsZ. As one of isosteres for the amide group, 1,2,3-triazole can mimic the topological and electronic features of the amide, which has gained increasing attention in drug discovery. Based on these considerations, we prepared a series of 1H-1,2,3-triazole-containing 3-MBA analogues via isosteric replacement of the terminal amide with triazole, which had increased antibacterial activity. This study demonstrated the possibility of developing the 1H-1,2,3-triazole group as a terminal amide-mimetic element which was capable of both keeping and modulating amide-related bioactivity. Surprisingly, a different action mode of these new 1H-1,2,3-triazole-containing analogues was observed, which could open new opportunities for the development of antibacterial agents.

The free fatty acid receptor 1 (FFA1) enhances the glucose-stimulated insulin secretion without the risk of hypoglycemia. However, most of FFA1 agonists have a common biphenyl moiety, leading to a relative deprivation in structure types. Herein, we describe the exploration of non-biphenyl scaffold based on the co-crystal structure of FFA1 to increase additional interactions with the lateral residues, which led to the identification of lead compounds 3 and 9. In induced-fit docking study, compound 3 forms an edge-on interaction with Trp150 by slightly rotating the indole ring of Trp150, and compound 9 has additional hydrogen bond and δ-π interactions with Leu135, which demonstrated the feasibility of our design strategy. Moreover, lead compounds 3 and 9 revealed improved polar surface area compared to GW9508, and have considerable hypoglycemic effects in mice. This structure-based study might inspire us to design more promising FFA1 agonists by increasing additional interactions with the residues outside of binding pocket.

The free fatty acid receptor 1 (FFA1) plays a key role in amplifying glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in pancreatic β-cells. Most of the reported FFA1 agonists contain a biphenyl scaffold, which is associated with toxicity as verified by Daiichi Sankyo. Herein, we describe the systematic exploration of a non-biphenyl scaffold to improve the druggability of GW9508 (β-oxidation, Fsp3 = 0.13, tPSA = 58.5 ?2) directed by Fsp3 and tPSA values. All these optimizations ultimately led to the identification of compound 21, an unconventional agonist (EC50 = 72.5 nM) bearing a methyl oxime ether scaffold. Moreover, compound 21 revealed improved drug-like properties (Fsp3 = 0.23, tPSA = 86.6 ?2) when compared to GW9508 (Fsp3 = 0.13, tPSA = 58.5 ?2) and an even higher binding efficiency index (BEI = 15.3) than TAK-875 (BEI = 14.3). Further pharmacological studies suggested that compound 21 has a considerable hypoglycemic effect in both normal and type 2 diabetic mice with a low risk of hypoglycemia. In addition, the docking study promoted our understanding of the ligand-binding pocket. This information might help towards the design of more promising new molecular entities.

A series of 2-benzyl and 2-phenyl-3-hydroxypropyl pivalates designed to incorporate the principal pharmacophores of phorbol esters have been synthesized and tested as PKC-α ligands. Among the analogues, 13c exhibited the most potent binding affinity with a Ki = 0.7 μM. The synthesized analogues were subjected to molecular modeling analysis based on two alternative models of the phorbol pharmacophore and a docking study of 13c was carried out.

Structure-activity relationship studies of a new series of tripentones (thieno[2,3-b]pyrrolizin-8-ones), led us to prepare several derivatives with antiproliferative activities. The most promising 3-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)thieno[2,3-b]pyrrolizin-8-one 20 (leukemia L1210, IC50 = 15 nM) was shown to be a potent inhibitor of tubulin polymerization.

Several 9-alkyl-6-substituted-purines were synthesized and tested for anticonvulsant activity against maximal electroshock-induced seizures (MES) in rats.Most compounds were prepared in three steps from 5-amino-4,6-dichloropyrimidine or in two steps via alkylation of 6-chloropurine.Potent anticonvulsant activity against MES resided in compounds that contain a benzyl substituent at the 9-position of 6-(methylamino)- or 6-(dimethylamino)purine.Among commonly used agents for control of seizures, this type of structure represents a new class of potent anticonvulsant agents.
