Relaxin family peptide receptors (RXFPs) are the potential therapeutic targets for neurological, cardiovascular, and metabolic indications. Among them, RXFP3 and RXFP4 (formerly known as GPR100 or GPCR142) are homologous class A G protein-coupled receptors with short N-terminal domain. Ligands of RXFP3 or RXFP4 are only limited to endogenous peptides and their analogues, and no natural product or synthetic agonists have been reported to date except for a scaffold of indole-containing derivatives as dual agonists of RXFP3 and RXFP4. In this study, a new scaffold of tricyclic derivatives represented by compound 7a was disclosed as a selective RXFP4 agonist after a high-throughput screening campaign against a diverse library of 52,000 synthetic and natural compounds. Two rounds of structural modification around this scaffold were performed focusing on three parts: 2-chlorophenyl group, 4-hydroxylphenyl group and its skeleton including cyclohexane-1,3-dione and 1,2,4-triazole group. Compound 14b with a new skeleton of 7,9-dihydro-4H-thiopyrano[3,4-d][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-8(5H)-one was thus obtained. The enantiomers of 7a and 14b were also resolved with their 9-(S)-conformer favoring RXFP4 agonism. Compared with 7a, compound 9-(S)-14b exhibited 2.3-fold higher efficacy and better selectivity for RXFP4 (selective ratio of RXFP4 vs. RXFP3 for 9-(S)-14b and 7a were 26.9 and 13.9, respectively).

In searching for more effective and safer antiepileptic drugs, a series of 2,5-disubstituted [1,2,4]-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-7(4H)-one derivatives were designed and synthesized. Spontaneous Ca2+ oscillations (SCOs) of cortical neurons were used for in vitro phenotypic screening. Maximal electroshock test (MES) and pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) test were used to access their anticonvulsant activity, and rotarod test was used to estimate their neurotoxicity. The active compounds in in vitro model are specifically effective in pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-induced epilepsy model but not maximal electroshock (MES) model, more importantly with lower neurotoxicity as compared to commonly used drugs. Among them, compound 5c and 5e showed significant anticonvulsant activities in PTZ-induced epilepsy model with ED50 values at 31.81 mg/kg and 40.95 mg/kg, respectively. These compounds have improved neurotoxicity with protective index (PI = TD50/ED50) values at 17.22 and 9.09, respectively. Finally we demonstrated that compound 5c and 5e mainly acted on GABAA receptor as positive modulators but not sodium channels. Thus the present study has provided potential candidates for further investigation in epilepsy.

A series of novel compounds carrying 1,2,4-triazole scaffold were prepared and evaluated for their antiproliferative activities against NCI 60 cell line. Compounds 10 (a, c), 11 (a-d), and 14 (a-e) were selected for evaluation at single concentration of 10 μM towards panel of sixty cancer cell lines. Some of nitric oxide (NO) donating triazole/oxime hybrids 11a-d showed antiproliferative activity better than their corresponding ketones. On the other hand, the thiazolo [3,2-b][1,2,4]-triazoles 14a-e showed remarkable antiproliferative activities against the same cell lines. Compound 14d was selected for five dose testing against the full panel of 60 human tumor cell lines. Compound 14d showed high selectivity against renal subpanel with selectivity ratio of 6.99 at GI50 level. Compounds 11a-d, 10a-d and 14a-e were tested against four cell lines using MTT assay then compounds of the least IC50 were evaluated against three known anticancer targets including EGFR, BRAF and Tubulin. The results revealed that compound 14d showed promising EGFR inhibitory activity of cancer cell proliferation and were also observed to be moderate BRAF and tubulin inhibitors. Moreover, cell cycle analysis and apoptosis assay were finished for compounds 14d and 14f. Finally molecular modeling studies were performed to explore the binding mode of the most active compounds to the target enzymes.
