We report on the virtual screening, synthesis, and biological evaluation of new furan derivatives targeting Mycobacterium tuberculosis salicylate synthase (MbtI). A receptor-based virtual screening procedure was applied to screen the Enamine database, identifying two compounds, I and III, endowed with a good enzyme inhibitory activity. Considering the most active compound I as starting point for the development of novel MbtI inhibitors, we obtained new derivatives based on the furan scaffold. Among the SAR performed on this class, compound 1a emerged as the most potent MbtI inhibitor reported to date (Ki = 5.3 μM). Moreover, compound 1a showed a promising antimycobacterial activity (MIC99 = 156 μM), which is conceivably related to mycobactin biosynthesis inhibition.

A pair of chemical isomeric structures of N-acylhydrazone compounds I and II were designed and synthesized. The reaction was carried out with high diastereoselectivity to obtain one configurational isomer in excellent yields. The exact configuration and conformation of IIa and IIe were confirmed by the X-ray single crystal diffraction. The antitumor bioassay revealed that some compounds exhibited excellent activity against the selected cancer cell lines. In particular, IIf (IC50 = 16.4 μM) was better than doxorubicin (IC50 = 53.3 μM) against human promyelocytic leukemic cells (HL-60). Their toxicities were predicted in silico. The results showed that compounds II were safe and eligible to be development candidates. IIf showed great promise as a novel lead compound for further anticancer discovery.

A series of (5-arylfuran-2-ylcarbonyl)guanidines was synthesized and evaluated for the NHE-1 inhibitory activity and cardiprotective efficacy against ischemia-reperfusion injury. Starting with (5-phenylfuran-2-ylcarbonyl) guanidine 47 with a moderate inhibitory effect on NHE-1, the compounds with various substituents at the phenyl ring were investigated with the aim to optimize the potency. In this study, the 2,5-disubstituted compounds appeared to have better activities than the other analogues, and the 2-methoxy-5- chlorophenyl compound 85 was found as a potent inhibitor of NHE-1 (IC 50 = 0.081 μM). Furthermore, 85 showed a marked reduction of infarct size in the rat myocardial infarction model in vivo and significant improvement of cardiac contractile function in the isolated rat heart ischemia model in vitro.
