A high throughput screening and subsequent hit validation identified compound 1 as an inhibitor of Trypanosoma brucei parasite growth. Extensive structure-activity relationship optimization based on antiparasitic activity led to the highly potent compounds, 1-(4-fluorobenzyl)-3-(4-dimethylamino-3-chlorophenyl)-2-thiohydantoin (68) and 1-(2-chloro-4-fluorobenzyl)-3-(4-dimethylamino-3-methoxyphenyl)-2-thiohydantoin (76), with a T. brucei EC50 of 3 and 2 nM, respectively. This represents >100-fold improvement in potency compared to compound 1. In vivo efficacy experiments of 68 and 76 in an acute mouse model of Human African Trypanosomiasis showed a 100% cure rate after 4 days of oral treatment at 50 mg/kg twice per day.

Based on the structural features of Indoprofen and PIB, a series of isoindol-1,3-diones 1a-k and isoindol-1-ones 2a-l were designed and synthesized. These 23 compounds were evaluated by competitive binding assay against aggregated Aβ42 fibrils using [125I]TZDM. All the isoindolone derivatives showed very good binding affinities with Ki values in the subnanomolar range (0.42-0.94 nM). Among them, isoindol-1,3-diones 1i and 1k and isoindol-1-ones 2c and 2i exhibited excellent binding affinities (Ki = 0.42-0.44 and 0.46-0.49 nM) than those of Indoprofen (Ki = 0.52 nM) and PIB (Ki = 0.70 nM). These results suggest that isoindolones could be served as a scaffold for potential AD diagnostic probes to monitor Aβ fibrils.
A Combined Experimental and Theoretical Approach toward the Development of Optimized Luminescent Carbostyrils

The synthesis and photophysical data of new carbostyrils (quinoline-2(1H)-ones) with the longest hitherto observed absorption- and emission wavelengths are described. Introduction of 6-amino, 7-MeO, and 4-(CF3) substituents enabled us to rise the absorption and fluorescence maxima up to 414 and 557 nm, respectively. Supported by semi-empirical and ab initio calculations, the 6,7-(1,4-diazine)-fused carbostyril 23b displayed absorption maxima at up to 440 nm, with quantum yields of up to 0.9 and large Stokes shifts (> 100 nm), comparable to the best coumarin chromophores known. The new fluorophore is neither pH-sensitive between pH 6 and 10 nor susceptible to O2 quenching. At pH 3, the emitted light appears greenish-white, which arises from three different stages of protonation.
