2-Amino-benzo[d]thiazole was identified as a new scaffold for the development of improved pteridine reductase-1 (PTR1) inhibitors and anti-trypanosomatidic agents. Molecular docking and crystallography guided the design and synthesis of 42 new benzothiazoles. The compounds were assessed for Trypanosoma brucei and Leishmania major PTR1 inhibition and in vitro activity against T. brucei and amastigote Leishmania infantum. We identified several 2-amino-benzo[d]thiazoles with improved enzymatic activity (TbPTR1 IC50 = 0.35 μM; LmPTR1 IC50 = 1.9 μM) and low μM antiparasitic activity against T. brucei. The ten most active compounds against TbPTR1 were able to potentiate the antiparasitic activity of methotrexate when evaluated in combination against T. brucei, with a potentiating index between 1.2 and 2.7. The compound library was profiled for early ADME toxicity, and 2-amino-N-benzylbenzo[d]thiazole-6-carboxamide (4c) was finally identified as a novel potent, safe, and selective anti-trypanocydal agent (EC50 = 7.0 μM). Formulation of 4c with hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin yielded good oral bioavailability, encouraging progression to in vivo studies.

We have developed two simple and high yielding one-pot syntheses of alkyl aminoaryl sulfides containing a series of four-steps: in situ protection of the free amine by reaction with a Grignard reagent, halogen-lithium exchange, sulfur insertion, and a substitution reaction with various electrophiles. Through this protocol, we have successfully synthesized tert-butyl-2-[4-(2-aminoethyl) phenylsulfanyl]-2-methylpropanoate, a key intermediate for the synthesis of GW7647 and GW9578 (ureido-TiBAs), in 92% yield. Furthermore, we were able to improve the overall yield of, GW7647 to 66%, 3 times the yield previously reported.
