The protozoan parasite Trypanosoma brucei (T. brucei) causes human African trypanosomiasis (HAT), which is a fatal and neglected disease in the tropic areas, and new treatments are urgently needed. Leucyl-tRNA synthetase (LeuRS) is an attractive target for the development of antimicrobial agents. In this work, starting from the hit compound thiourea ZCL539, we designed and synthesized a series of amides as effective T. brucei LeuRS (TbLeuRS) synthetic site inhibitors. The most potent compounds 74 and 91 showed IC50 of 0.24 and 0.25 μM, which were about 700-fold more potent than the starting hit compound. The structure-activity relationship was also discussed. These compounds provided a new scaffold and lead compounds for further development of antitrypanosomal agents.

Schistosomiasis is a major neglected parasitic disease that affects more than 265 million people worldwide and for which the control strategy consists of mass treatment with the only available drug, praziquantel. In this study, we chemically optimized our previously reported benzhydroxamate-based inhibitors of Schistosoma mansoni histone deacetylase 8 (smHDAC8). Crystallographic analysis provided insights into the inhibition mode of smHDAC8 activity by the highly potent inhibitor 5o. Structure-based optimization of the novel inhibitors was carried out using the available crystal structures as well as docking studies on smHDAC8. The compounds were evaluated in screens for inhibitory activity against schistosome and human HDACs (hHDAC). The in vitro and docking results were used for detailed structure activity relationships. The synthesized compounds were further investigated for their lethality against the schistosome larval stage using a fluorescence-based assay. The most promising inhibitor 5o showed significant dose-dependent killing of the schistosome larvae and markedly impaired egg laying of adult worm pairs maintained in culture.

Convenient domino protocol was developed for the synthesis of 2-arylquinazolin-4-amines by the reaction of N-(2-cyanophenyl) substituted benzimidoyl isothiocyanates with isopropyl amine. The major advantages of this protocol are short reaction times, mild conditions, simple work up, high yields, and pure products. The efficacy of this protocol owes to the competence of synthesis, pure isolation of imidoyl isothiocyanates, and the unique structure conformation of the corresponding intermediate thiourea derivatives.

The breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP/ABCG2) is a member of the ABC transporter superfamily. This protein has a number of physiological functions, including protection of the human body from xenobiotics. The overexpression of BCRP in certain tumor cell lines causes cross-resistance against various drugs used in chemotherapeutic treatment. In a previous work we showed that a new class of compounds derived from XR9576 (tariquidar) selectively inhibits BCRP. In this work we synthesized more members of this class, with modification on the second and third aromatic rings. The inhibitory activities against BCRP and P-gp were assayed using a Hoechst 33342 assay for BCRP and a calcein AM assay for P-gp. Finally, quantitative structure-activity relationships for both aromatic rings were established. The results obtained show the importance of the electron density on the third aromatic ring, influenced by substituents, pointing to interactions with aromatic residues of the protein binding site. In the second aromatic ring the activity of compounds is influenced by the steric volume of the substituents.

Gilenya (fingolimod, FTY720) was recently approved by the U.S. FDA for the treatment of patients with remitting relapsing multiple sclerosis (RRMS). It is a potent agonist of four of the five sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) G-protein-coupled receptors (S1P1 and S1P3-5). It has been postulated that fingolimod's efficacy is due to S1P1 agonism, while its cardiovascular side effects (transient bradycardia and hypertension) are due to S1P3 agonism. We have discovered a series of selective S1P 1 agonists, which includes 3-[6-(5-{3-cyano-4-[(1-methylethyl)oxy] phenyl}-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)-5-methyl-3,4-dihydro-2(1H)-isoquinolinyl] propanoate, 20, a potent, S1P3-sparing, orally active S1P1 agonist. Compound 20 is as efficacious as fingolimod in a collagen-induced arthritis model and shows excellent pharmacokinetic properties preclinically. Importantly, the selectivity of 20 against S1P3 is responsible for an absence of cardiovascular signal in telemetered rats, even at high dose levels.

High-throughput screening of a combinatorial library of diamidophenols yielded lead compounds with the ability to inhibit human factor Xa (fXa) at micromolar concentrations (e.g. compound 4, fXa apparent K(ass) = 0.64 x 106 L/mol). SAR studies in this novel structural series of fXa inhibitors showed that the phenolic hydroxyl group was not essential for activity. The best activity was found in substituted 1,2-dibenzamidobenzenes in which the phenyl group of one benzoyl group (A-ring) was substituted in the 4-position with relatively small lipophilic or polarizable groups such as methoxy, vinyl, or chloro and the phenyl group of the other benzoyl group (B-ring) was substituted in the 4-position with larger lipophilic groups such as tertbutyl or dimethylamino. The central phenyl ring (C-ring) tolerated a wide variety of substituents, but methoxy, methanesulfonamido, hydroxyl, and carboxyl substitution produced slightly higher levels of activity than other substituents when present in combination with favorable B-ring substitution. Methylation of the amide nitrogen atoms was found to greatly decrease activity. Compound 12 is the highest affinity fXa inhibitor in this group of compounds, having fXa apparent K(ass) = 25.5 x 106 L/mol, about 40x more active than the original lead. This lead series does not show potent inhibition of human thrombin. A model for the binding of these ligands to the fXa active site is proposed. The model is consistent with the observed SAR and can serve to guide future SAR studies.

5-Acyl-1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrrole-1-carboxylic acids and the homologous pyridine and azepine derivatives were synthesized and assayed for antiinflammatory and analgesic activity. 5-Benzoyl-1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrrolo-[1,2-a]pyrrole-1-carboxylic acid and the corresponding p-methoxy compound were selected for evaluation as analgesic agents in humans on the basis of their high potency in the mouse phenylquinone writhing assay as well as on their minimal liability to elicit gastrointestinal erosion in rats on chronic administration. Extensive quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) studies of the benzoylpyrrolopyrrolecarboxylic acids have demonstrated that the analgesic (mouse writhing) and antiinflammatory (rat carrageenan paw) potencies of these compounds are satisfactorily correlated with the steric and hydrogen-bonding properties of the benzoyl substituent(s). The 4-vinylbenzoyl compound, which was correctly predicted to be highly active in both assays on this basis, is undergoing advanced pharmacological evaluation in animals as a potential antiinflammatory agent.
