A concise approach to n-substituted rhodanines through a base-assisted one-pot coupling and cyclization process

An efficient approach to obtain functionalized rhodanines was developed through a base-assisted one-pot coupling and continuous cyclization of a primary amine, carbon disulfide, and methyl (2-chloroacetyl)carbamate. This conversion tolerates a broad range of functional groups and can be used to scale the preparation of N-substituted rhodanines in excellent yields.

HETEROCYCLIC INTEGRIN AGONISTS

The present invention provides polycyclic oxothioxoimidazolidines, dioxoimidazolines, oxothioxooxazolidines, dioxooxazolidines, and related compounds, which are useful as integrin agonists. Methods for the treatment of integrin-mediated diseases such as cancer are also described.

Small molecule fusion inhibitors: Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of (Z)-3-(5-(3-benzyl-4-oxo-2-thioxothiazolidinylidene)methyl)-N-(3- carboxy-4-hydroxy)phenyl-2,5-dimethylpyrroles and related derivatives targeting HIV-1 gp41

By a scaffold elongation strategy, a series of (Z)-3-(5-(3-benzyl-4-oxo-2- thioxothiazolidinylidene)methyl)-N-(3-carboxy-4-hydroxy)phenyl-2, 5-dimethylpyrroles and related derivatives with a linear multi-aromatic-ring skeleton were designed, synthesized, and evaluated in HIV-1 gp41 and cellular assays. Among them, the most active compounds, 12e, 12g, and 12k with a one-carbon linker (n = 1) between the rhodanine (C) and phenyl (D) rings, exhibited very promising inhibitory potency with IC50 values of 1.8-2.6 μM and EC50 values of 0.3-1.5 μM against gp41 6-HB formation and HIV-1 replication in MT-2 cells, respectively. Additionally, they were almost equally effective against both T20-sensitive and resistant strains. The related SAR studies and molecular modeling results provided potential for further developing a new class of non-peptide small molecular fusion inhibitors targeting the HIV-1 gp41.

Thiazolidinone-peptide hybrids as dengue virus protease inhibitors with antiviral activity in cell culture

The protease of dengue virus is a promising target for antiviral drug discovery. We here report a new generation of peptide-hybrid inhibitors of dengue protease that incorporate N-substituted 5-arylidenethiazolidinone heterocycles (rhodanines and thiazolidinediones) as N-terminal capping groups of the peptide moiety. The compounds were extensively characterized with respect to inhibition of various proteases, inhibition mechanisms, membrane permeability, antiviral activity, and cytotoxicity in cell culture. A sulfur/oxygen exchange in position 2 of the capping heterocycle (thiazolidinedione-capped vs rhodanine-capped peptide hybrids) has a significant effect on these properties and activities. The most promising in vitro affinities were observed for thiazolidinedione-based peptide hybrids containing hydrophobic groups with Ki values between 1.5 and 1.8 μM and competitive inhibition mechanisms. Rhodanine-capped peptide hybrids with hydrophobic substituents have, in correlation with their membrane permeability, a more pronounced antiviral activity in cell culture than the thiazolidinediones.

Aqueous microwave-assisted one-pot synthesis of N-substituted rhodanines

Two aqueous, one-pot, microwave-assisted methods for the rapid synthesis of N-substituted rhodanines from amine substrates are described. Alkyl- and benzylamines could be converted into the corresponding rhodanines with an atom-efficient one-pot, three-step protocol based on carbon disulfide and chloroacetic acid in short reaction times and good to excellent yields. An alternative, microwave-assisted one-pot, one-step protocol using bis(carboxymethyl)trithiocarbonate in water was developed for the synthesis of N-arylrhodanines from anilines.

Discovery of potent and orally bioavailable 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 3 inhibitors

We have previously reported the discovery of a new class of potent inhibitors of 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 3 (17β-HSD3) derived from benzylidene oxazolidinedione and thiazolidinedione scaffolds. In this study, these analogs were designed, synthesized, and evaluated in a human cell-based assay. The detailed structure-activity relationship (SAR) surrounding this pharmacophore were developed, and consequently a number of compounds from this series demonstrated single-digit nanomolar 17β-HDS3 inhibitory activity in vitro. Subsequent optimization work in pursuit of the improvement of oral bioavailability demonstrated in vivo proof-of-concept by prodrug strategy based on phosphate esters for these 17β-HSD3 inhibitors. When a phosphate ester 16 was administered orally at a high dose of 100 mg/kg, 16 showed approximately two times more potent testosterone (T)-lowering effect against a positive control in the luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH)-induced T production assay. The T-lowering effect continued at ca 10% level of control over 4 h after administration. The nonsteroidal molecules based on this series have the potential to provide unique and effective clinical opportunities for treatment of prostate cancer.

A Versatile and Practical Synthesis toward the Development of Novel HIV-1 Integrase Inhibitors

As a continuation of our previous work, which resulted in the identification of a new hit compound as an HIV-1 integrase inhibitor, three novel series of salicylic acid derivatives were synthesized using three versatile and practical synthetic strategies and were assayed for their capacity to inhibit the catalytic activity of HIV-1 integrase. Biological evaluations revealed that some of the synthesized compounds possess good inhibitory potency in enzymatic assays and are able to inhibit viral replication in MT-4 cells at low micromolar concentrations. Finally, docking studies were conducted to analyze the binding mode of the synthesized compounds within the DNA binding site of integrase in order to refine their structure-activity relationships. Easy as A, B, C: Three new series of salicylic acid derivatives were designed and synthesized to investigate their activity toward HIV-1 integrase. Some of these compounds were obtained with microwave-assisted procedures developed and optimized in our research group, which allowed us to rapidly generate several final compounds of high purity.

Electrogenerated base-promoted synthesis of N-benzylic rhodanine and carbamodithioate derivatives

Electrogenerated magnesium-associated cyanomethyl anions/bases obtained from the electrochemical reduction of acetonitrile and the oxidation of a sacrificial magnesium rod were successfully used to promote the addition of carbon disulfide to primary benzylic amines. Alkylation with ethyl 3-bromopropionate acid ester or with ethyl 2-bromoacetate acid ester yields the corresponding ring-opened carbamodithioate compounds or cyclic rhodanine derivatives, respectively. The effect of the amount of electrogenerated base on the yield of reaction was also evaluated.

SAR and 3D-QSAR studies on thiadiazolidinone derivatives: Exploration of structural requirements for glycogen synthase kinase 3 inhibitors

The 2,4-disubstituted thiadiazolidinones (TDZD) are described as the first ATP-noncompetitive GSK-3 inhibitors. Following an SAR study about TDZD, different structural modifications in the heterocyclic ring aimed to test the influence of each heteroatom o
