Ecto-nucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterases 1 (ENPP1 or NPP1), is an attractive therapeutic target for various diseases, primarily cancer and mineralization disorders. The ecto-enzyme is located on the cell surface and has been implicated in the control of extracellular levels of nucleotide, nucleoside and (di) phosphate. Recently, it has emerged as a critical phosphodiesterase that hydrolyzes cyclic 2′3′- cGAMP, the endogenous ligand for STING (STimulator of INterferon Genes). STING plays an important role in innate immunity by activating type I interferon in response to cytosolic 2′3′-cGAMP. ENPP1 negatively regulates the STING pathway and hence its inhibition makes it an attractive therapeutic target for cancer immunotherapy. Herein, we describe the design, optimization and biological evaluation studies of a series of novel non-nucleotidic thioguanine based small molecule inhibitors of ENPP1. The lead compound 43 has shown good in vitro potency, stability in SGF/SIF/PBS, selectivity, ADME properties and pharmacokinetic profile and finally potent anti-tumor response in vivo. These compounds are a good starting point for the development of potentially effective cancer immunotherapy agents.

Botulinum neurotoxins serotype A (BoNT/A) is the deadliest toxins known to humans and the "Category A" agent for bioterrorism. Over the past 20 years, significant efforts have been put forth to develop effective inhibitors of BoNT/A. Unfortunately, few id

A series of aryl phenoxy methyl triazole conjugated with thiosemicarbazides were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their tyrosinase inhibitory activities in the presence of L-dopa and L-tyrosine as substrates. All the compounds showed tyrosinase inhibition in the sub-micromolar concentration. Among the derivatives, compound 9j bearing benzyl displayed exceptionally high potency against tyrosinase with IC50 value of 0.11 μM and 0.17 μM in the presence of L-tyrosine and L-dopa as substrates which is significantly lower than that of kojic acid as the positive control with an IC50 value of 9.28 μM for L-tyrosine and 9.30 μM for L-dopa. According to Lineweaver–Burk plot, 9j demonstrated an uncompetitive type of inhibition in the kinetic assay. Also, in vitro antioxidant activities determined by DPPH assay recorded an IC50 value of 68.43 μM for 9i. The melanin content of 9j was determined on B16F10 melanoma human cells which demonstrated a significant reduction of the melanin content. Moreover, the binding energies corresponding to the same ligand as well as computer-aided drug-likeness and pharmacokinetic studies were also carried out. Compound 9j also possessed metal chelation potential correlated to its high anti-TYR activity.
