Plinabulin, a drug targeting microtubule of cancer cells, has been currently tried in its phase III clinical study. However, low efficacy caused by poor pharmacokinetic (PK) properties has been considered to be the main obstacle to approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Herein, we introduced a deuterium atom as an isostere in its structure to become a new compound named (MBRI-001, No. 9 in a series of deuterium-substituted compounds). The structure of MBRI-001 was characterized by HRMS, NMR, IR and a single crystal analysis. MBRI-001 exhibited better pharmacokinetic characteristics than that of plinabulin. Additionally, its antitumor activity is in a low nanomolar level for a variety of cancer cell lines and high activity against human NCI-H460 xenograted in mice intravenous administration. Importantly, continuous administration of MBRI-001 exhibited lower toxicity compared to docetaxel. We thus suggest that MBRI-001 could be developed as a promising anti-cancer agent in near future.

Plinabulin, a synthetic analog of the marine natural product “diketopiperazine phenylahistin,” displayed depolymerization effects on microtubules and targeted the colchicine site, which has been moved into phase III clinical trials for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and the prevention of chemotherapy-induced neutropenia (CIN). To develop more potent anti-microtubule and cytotoxic derivatives, the co-crystal complexes of plinabulin derivatives were summarized and analyzed. We performed further modifications of the tert-butyl moiety or C-ring of imidazole-type derivatives to build a library of molecules through the introduction of different groups for novel skeletons. Our structure–activity relationship study indicated that compounds 17o (IC50 = 14.0 nM, NCI-H460) and 17p (IC50 = 2.9 nM, NCI-H460) with furan groups exhibited potent cytotoxic activities at the nanomolar level against various human cancer cell lines. In particular, the 5-methyl or methoxymethyl substituent of furan group could replace the alkyl group of imidazole at the 5-position to maintain cytotoxic activity, contradicting previous reports that the tert-butyl moiety at the 5-position of imidazole was essential for the activity of such compounds. Immunofluorescence assay indicated that compounds 17o and 17p could efficiently inhibit microtubule polymerization. Overall, the novel furan-diketopiperazine-type derivatives could be considered as a potential scaffold for the development of anti-cancer drugs.

We previously reported potent hit compound 4 inhibiting the wild-type influenza A virus A/HK/68 (H3N2) and A/M2-S31N mutant viruses A/WS/33 (H1N1), with its latter activity quite weak. To further increase its potency, a structure-activity relationship study of a series of imidazole-linked pinanamine derivatives was conducted by modifying the imidazole ring of this compound. Several compounds of this series inhibited the amantadine-sensitive virus at low micromolar concentrations. Among them, 33 was the most potent compound, which was identified as being active on an amantadine-sensitive virus through blocking of the viral M2 ion channel. Furthermore, 33 markedly inhibited the amantadine-resistant virus (IC50 = 3.4 μM) and its activity increased by almost 24-fold compared to initial compound, with its action mechanism being not M2 channel mediated.

Plinabulin (11, NPI-2358) is a potent microtubule-targeting agent derived from the natural diketopiperazine "phenylahistin" (1) with a colchicine-like tubulin depolymerization activity. Compound 11 was recently developed as VDA and is now under phase II clinical trials as an anticancer drug. To develop more potent antimicrotubule and cytotoxic derivatives based on the didehydro-DKP skeleton, we performed further modification on the tert-butyl or phenyl groups of 11, and evaluated their cytotoxic and tubulin-binding activities. In the SAR study, we developed more potent derivatives 33 with 2,5-difluorophenyl and 50 with a benzophenone in place of the phenyl group. The anti-HuVEC activity of 33 and 50 exhibited a lowest effective concentration of 2 and 1 nM for microtubule depolymerization, respectively. The values of 33 and 50 were 5 and 10 times more potent than that of CA-4, respectively. These derivatives could be a valuable second-generation derivative with both vascular disrupting and cytotoxic activities.
