A series of 1-indazol-3-(1-phenylpyrazol-5-yl)methyl ureas were investigated as hTRPV1 antagonists. The structure–activity relationship study was conducted systematically for both the indazole A-region and the 3-trifluoromethyl/t-butyl pyrazole C-region to optimize the antagonism toward the activation by capsaicin. Among them, the antagonists 26, 50 and 51 displayed highly potent antagonism with Ki(CAP) = 0.4–0.5 nM. Further, in vivo studies in mice indicated that these derivatives both antagonized capsaicin induced hypothermia, consistent with their in vitro activity, and themselves did not induce hyperthermia. In the formalin model, 51 showed anti-nociceptive activity in a dose-dependent manner.

We previously reported that 1H-pyrazolo-[3,4-b]pyridine-4-carboxylic acid derivative 6 is an agonist of human peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (hPPARα). Here, we prepared a series of 1H-pyrazolo-[3,4-b]pyridine-4-carboxylic acid derivatives in order to examine the structure-activity relationships (SAR). SAR studies clearly indicated that the steric bulkiness of the substituent on 1H-pyrazolo-[3,4-b]pyridine ring, the position of the distal hydrophobic tail part, and the distance between the distal hydrophobic tail part and the acidic head part are critical for hPPARα agonistic activity. These SAR results are somewhat different from those reported for fibrate-class hPPARα agonists. A representative compound (10f) was as effective as fenofibrate in reducing the elevated plasma triglyceride levels in a high-fructose-fed rat model.

A series of 1-substituted 3-(t-butyl/trifluoromethyl)pyrazole C-region analogues of 2-(3-fluoro-4-methylsulfonamidophenyl)propanamides were investigated for hTRPV1 antagonism. The structure activity relationship indicated that the 3-chlorophenyl group at the 1-position of pyrazole was the optimized hydrophobic group for antagonistic potency and the activity was stereospecific to the S-configuration, providing exceptionally potent antagonists 13S and 16S with Ki(CAP) = 0.1 nM. Particularly significant, 13S exhibited antagonism selective for capsaicin and NADA and not for low pH or elevated temperature. Both compounds also proved to be very potent antagonists for rTRPV1, blocking in vivo the hypothermic action of capsaicin, consistent with their in vitro mechanism. The docking study of compounds 13S and 16S in our hTRPV1 homology model indicated that the binding modes differed somewhat, with that of 13S more closely resembling that of GRT12360.

Doramapimod (BIRB 796) is a potent inhibitor of p38α mitogen-activated protein kinase. It contains an aryl-pyrazole scaffold as a pharmacophore critical for binding. The aryl-pyrazole scaffold is not planar and adopts an out-of-plane conformation, which is described by the torsion angle θ. In this letter, we report the chemical synthesis and biophysical characterization of different analogues of doramapimod (3-12) exhibiting distinctly different aryl-pyrazole torsion angle θ values. The torsion angle θ values of the synthesized analogues (3-6) were determined by crystal structural analysis and the binding affinities to p38α kinase investigated by microscale thermophoresis. Our results unveil a clear correlation between kinase binding and the torsion angle θ of tested doramapimod analogues, highlighting the importance of inhibitor conformation for protein binding.

We have identified a novel series of substituted N,N′-diarylurea p38α inhibitors. The inhibitory activity of the target compounds against the enzyme p38α, MAPKAPK2 in BHK cells, TNF-α release in LPS-stimulated THP-1 cells and p38α binding experiments were

Inhibitors of the MAP kinase p38 are potentially useful for the treatment of arthritis and osteoporosis. Several 2,3-dichlorophenyl ureas were identified as small-molecule inhibitors of p38 by a combinatorial chemistry effort. Optimization for cellular potency led to the discovery of a new class of potent and selective p38 kinase inhibitors, exemplified by the 1-phenyl-5-pyrazolyl urea 7 (IC50 = 13 nM).
