A novel series of nonnucleoside HCV NS5B polymerase inhibitors were prepared from (2Z)-2-(benzoylamino)-3-(5-phenyl-2-furyl)acrylic acid, a high throughput screening lead. SAR studies combined with structure based drug design focusing on the southern heterobiaryl region of the template led to the synthesis of several potent and orally bioavailable lead compounds. X-ray crystallography studies were also performed to understand the interaction of these inhibitors with HCV NS5B polymerase.

We have designed arylfurylacryl-substituted benzophenones as non-thiol farnesyltransferase inhibitors utilizing a novel aryl binding site of farnesyltransferase. These compounds display activity in the low nanomolar range. We have designed arylfurylacryl-

In a previous report, we have described novel anti-malarial compounds based on a 2,5-diaminobenzophenone scaffold. Here, we have invesigated acryloyl derivatives carrying a biaryl structure consisting of a terminal aryl residue and a central 2-furyl ring. Several compounds were obtained in the series of para-substituted phenylfurylacryloyl derivatives that displayed improved anti-malarial activity in comparison to earlier described derivatives. From the structure-activity relationships it can be deduced that there has to be a lipophilic moiety in the para-position of the terminal phenyl residue. Furthermore, there are indications that, alternatively, activity may benefit from the presence of a polar moiety with hydrogen bond acceptor properties.

A series of 5-phenyl-2-furamidines has been synthesized and evaluated for antidepressant activities. Substitution in the phenyl ring with a nitro (4) or an amino (12) group in the ortho-position resulted in an increase in antidepressant activity. Both 4 and 12 antagonized tetrabenazine-induced ptosis in rodents and inhibited norepinephrine (noradrenaline) uptake into crude synaptosomes of whole mouse brain at doses or concentrations comparable to those of the tricyclic antidepressants. However, these compounds did not possess the anticholinergic and antihistaminic activities common to tricyclic antidepressants. In addition, they lacked monoamine oxidase inhibitory activity. The 5-phenyl-2-furamidines represent a new chemical class of antidepressants and may be useful for depressive patients who cannot tolerate the compromising side effects of the tricyclic antidepressants and monoamine oxidase inhibitors.
