Antagonists of adenosine receptor are under exploration as potential drug candidates for treatment of neurological disorders, depression, certain cancers and potentially used as a cancer immunotherapy. Herein, we describe design and synthesis of novel scaffold benzo[4,5]imidazo [1,2-a]pyrazin-1-amine (6) derivatives. All the compounds were evaluated for A2A AR antagonist activity and displayed encouraging results (IC50 9–300 nM) of A2A AR antagonist binding affinity in biochemical assay. Compound 27 exhibits good activity in A2A AR antagonist cAMP functional assay (IC50 31 nM) and further this compound shows T-cell activation at the IL-2 production assay (EC50 165 nM). Molecular docking studies were carried out to rationalize the observed binding affinity of compound 27.

Cancer remains a leading cause of death worldwide, resulting in continuous efforts to discover and develop highly efficacious anticancer drugs. High-throughput screening of heterocyclic compound libraries is one of the promising approaches that provided several new lead molecules with a novel mechanism of action. On the basis of the promising anticancer potential of imidazoquinoxaline as well as the structurally similar imidazoquinoline-derived scaffold, we prepared a set of C6-substituted benzimidazo[1,2-a]quinoxaline derivatives via two novel synthetic routes using commercially available starting materials, with good to excellent yields and evaluated their anticancer activity against the NCI-60 cancer cell lines. The one-dose (10 μM) anticancer screening of the synthesized compounds in the NCI-60 cell line panel revealed that the substituents have a significant role in the activity. In particular, the indole (7f), imidazole (7g),?and benzimidazole (7h) derivatives showed significant activity against the triple-negative breast cancer cell line, MDA-MB-468. The lead compounds also exhibited notable IC50 values against another breast cancer cell line, MCF-7. Furthermore, it was observed that these compounds were relatively nontoxic to normal cell lines: HEK293 (human embryonic kidney cell line) and MCF12A (nontumorigenic human breast epithelial cell line). The IC50 values against healthy cells were at least 5- to 11-fold higher, offering a new class of heterocycles that can be further developed as promising therapeutics for cancer treatment.

Our previous scaffold-hopping attempts resulted in dihydropyrazino-benzimidazoles as metabotropic glutamate receptor-2 (mGluR2) positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) with suboptimal drug-like profiles. Here, we report an alternative fragment-based optimization strategy applied on the new dihydropyrazino-benzimidazolone scaffold. Analyzing published high-affinity mGluR2 PAMs, we used a pharmacophore-guided approach to identify suitable growing vectors and optimize the scaffold in these directions. This strategy resulted in a new fragment like lead (34) with improved druglike properties that were translated to sufficient pharmacokinetics and validated proof-of-concept studies in migraine. Gratifyingly, compound34showed reasonable activity in the partial infraorbital nerve ligation, a migraine disease model that might open this indication for mGluR2 PAMs.

The translocator protein (TSPO) is a target for the development of neuroinflammation imaging agents. Clinical translation of TSPO PET ligands, such as [11C]DPA-713, has been hampered by the presence of a common polymorphism (A147T TSPO), at which all second-generation TSPO ligands lose affinity. Little is known about what drives binding at A147T compared to WT TSPO. This study aimed to identify moieties in DPA-713, and related derivatives, that influence binding at A147T compared to WT TSPO. We found changes to the nitrogen position and number in the heterocyclic core influences affinity to WT and A147T to a similar degree. Hydrogen bonding groups in molecules with an indole core improve binding at A147T compared to WT, a strategy that generated compounds that possess up to ten-times greater affinity for A147T. These results should inform the future design of compounds that bind both A147T and WT TSPO for use in neuroinflammation imaging.

Trypanosoma cruzi and Trypanosoma brucei are the parasitic causative agents of Chagas disease and human African trypanosomiasis (HAT), respectively. The drugs currently used to treat these diseases are not efficacious against all stages and/or parasite sub-species, often displaying side effects. Herein, we report the SAR exploration of a novel hit, 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-N-(1-propyl-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)acetamide previously identified from high throughput screens against T. cruzi, Trypanosoma brucei brucei and Leishmania donovani. An informative set of analogues was synthesized incorporating key modifications of the scaffold resulting in improved potency whilst the majority of compounds retained low cytotoxicity against H9c2 and HEK293 cell lines. The SAR observed against T. cruzi broadly matches that observed against T.b. brucei, suggesting the possibility for a broad-spectrum candidate. This class of compounds therefore warrants further investigation towards development as a treatment for Chagas disease and HAT. This journal is
