The ligand-sensing transcription factor nuclear receptor related 1 (Nurr1) evolves as an appealing target to treat neurodegenerative diseases. Despite its therapeutic potential observed in various rodent models, potent modulators for Nurr1 are lacking as pharmacological tools. Here, we report the structure-activity relationship and systematic optimization of indole-based inverse Nurr1 agonists. Optimized analogues decreased the receptor's intrinsic transcriptional activity by up to more than 90% and revealed preference for inhibiting Nurr1 monomer activity. In orthogonal cell-free settings, we detected displacement of NCoRs and disruption of the Nurr1 homodimer as molecular modes of action. The inverse Nurr1 agonists reduced the expression of Nurr1-regulated genes in T98G cells, and treatment with an inverse Nurr1 agonist mimicked the effect of Nurr1 silencing on interleukin-6 release from LPS-stimulated human astrocytes. The indole-based inverse Nurr1 agonists valuably extend the toolbox of Nurr1 modulators to further probe the role of Nurr1 in neuroinflammation, cancer, and beyond.

On the basis of the principle of combination of active structural moieties, a modified and efficient synthetic method for three series of novel indole-based 1,3,4-oxadiazoles is described. Bioassays conducted at Syngenta showed that several of the synthesized compounds exhibit higher antifungal activity than pimprinine, the natural product which inspired this synthesis. Two main structural alterations were found to broaden the spectrum of biological activity in most cases. Compounds 3g, 6c, 6e, 6h, 9d, 9e, 9h and 9m (Fig. 1) were identified as the most active on the biological assays, and will be studied further.
Discovery of trans-4-[1-[[2,5-dichloro-4-(1-methyl-3-indolylcarboxamido) phenyl]acetyl]-(4S)-methoxy-(2S)-pyrrolidinylmethoxy]cyclohexanecarboxylic acid: An orally active, selective very late antigen-4 antagonist

We have focused on optimization of the inadequate pharmacokinetic profile of trans-4-substituted cyclohexanecarboxylic acid 5, which is commonly observed in many small molecule very late antigen-4 (VLA-4) antagonists. We modified the lipophilic moiety in 5 and found that reducing the polar surface area of this moiety results in improvement of the PK profile. Consequently, our efforts have led to the discovery of trans-4-[1-[[2,5-dichloro-4-(1-methyl-3- indolylcarboxamido)phenyl]acetyl]-(4S)-methoxy-( 2S)-pyrrolidinylmethoxy] cyclohexanecarboxylic acid (14e) with potent activity (IC50 = 5.4 nM) and significantly improved bioavailability in rats, dogs, and monkeys (100%, 91%, 68%), which demonstrated excellent oral efficacy in murine and guinea pig models of asthma. Based on its overall profile, compound 14e was progressed into clinical trails. In a single ascending-dose phase I clinical study, compound 14e exhibited favorable oral exposure as expected and had no serious adverse events.

A new series of novel mast cell tryptase inhibitors is reported, which features the use of an indole structure as the hydrophobic substituent on a m-benzylaminepiperidine template. The best members of this series display good in vitro activity and excellent selectivity against other serine proteases.

A tandem carbonylation/cyclization radical process of 1-(2-iodoethyl)indoles and pyrrole
Miranda, Luis D.,Cruz-Almanza, Raymundo,Pavon, Miriam,Alva, Edith,Muchowski, Joseph M.
, p. 7153 - 7157 (2007/10/03)
The AIBN-induced radical reaction of 1-(2-iodoethyl)indoles and pyrroles with Bu3SnH under 80 atm of CO was examined. Carbon monoxide was efficiently trapped by an alkyl radical to form an acyl radical which underwent intramolecular addition to the aromatic system to produce bicyclic aromatic ketones after in situ oxidation.
