Murine double minute 2 (MDM2) and X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) are important cell survival proteins in tumor cells. As a dual MDM2/XIAP inhibitor reported previously, compound MX69 has low potency with an IC50 value of 7.5 μM against an acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell line EU-1. Herein, we report the structural optimization based on the MX69 scaffold, leading to the discovery of a 25-fold more potent analogue 14 (IC50 = 0.3 μM against EU-1). We demonstrate that 14 maintains its mode of action by dual targeting of MDM2 and XIAP through inducing MDM2 protein degradation and inhibiting XIAP mRNA translation, respectively, which resulted in cancer cell growth inhibition and cell death. The results strongly suggest that the scaffold based on 14 is promising for further optimization to develop a new therapeutic agent for leukemia and possibly other cancers where MDM2 and XIAP are dysregulated.

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) synthetase catalyzes the last step in NAD+ biosynthesis. Depletion of NAD+ is bactericidal for both active and dormant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). By inhibiting NAD+ synthetase (NadE) from Mtb, we expect to eliminate NAD+ production which will result in cell death in both growing and nonreplicating Mtb. NadE inhibitors have been investigated against various pathogens, but few have been tested against Mtb. Here, we report on the expansion of a series of urea-sulfonamides, previously reported by Brouillette et al. Guided by docking studies, substituents on a terminal phenyl ring were varied to understand the structure–activity-relationships of substituents on this position. Compounds were tested as inhibitors of both recombinant Mtb NadE and Mtb whole cells. While the parent compound displayed very weak inhibition against Mtb NadE (IC50 = 1000 μM), we observed up to a 10-fold enhancement in potency after optimization. Replacement of the 3,4-dichloro group on the phenyl ring of the parent compound with 4-nitro yielded 4f, the most potent compound of the series with an IC50 value of 90 μM against Mtb NadE. Our modeling results show that these urea-sulfonamides potentially bind to the intramolecular ammonia tunnel, which transports ammonia from the glutaminase domain to the active site of the enzyme. This hypothesis is supported by data showing that, even when treated with potent inhibitors, NadE catalysis is restored when treated with exogenous ammonia. Most of these compounds also inhibited Mtb cell growth with MIC values of 19–100 μg/mL. These results improve our understanding of the SAR of the urea-sulfonamides, their mechanism of binding to the enzyme, and of Mtb NadE as a potential antitubercular drug target.

Four series of forty-five nitrogen-containing polyhydroxylated aromatics based on caffeic acid phenethyl ester were designed and synthesized as HIV-1 integrase (IN) inhibitors. Most of these compounds inhibited IN catalytic activities in low micromolar range. Among these new analogues, compounds 9e and 9f were the most potent IN inhibitors with IC50 value of 0.7 μM against strand transfer reaction. Their key structure-activity relationships were also discussed.

A series of nitrogen-containing polyhydroxylated aromatics from caffeic acid phenethyl ester were designed and synthesized as HIV-1 integrase inhibitors. Most of these compounds exhibited potent inhibitory activities at micromolar concentrations against HIV-1 integrase in the 3′-end processing and the strand transfer. Their key structure-activity relationship was also discussed.
