Page/Page column 42, (2014/11/13)
The disclosure provides compounds and pharmaceutical compositions of the compounds useful for treating chronic and acute bacterial infections. Certain of the compounds are compounds and salts of general Formula VIII Certain compounds of this disclosure are MvfR inhibitors. MvfR inhibitors reduce the formation of antibiotic tolerant bacterial strains and are useful for treating Gram-negative bacterial infections and reducing the virulence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Methods of treating bacterial infections in a patient, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections, are also provided by the disclosure.

Neutral half-sandwich organometallic ruthenium(II) complexes of the type [(n6-cymene)RuCl2(L)] (H1-H10), where L represents a heterocyclic ligand, have been synthesized and characterized spectroscopically. The structures of five complexes were also established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction confirming a piano-stool geometry with n6 coordination of the arene ligand. Hydrogen bonding between the N-H group of the heterocycle and a chlorine atom attached to Ru stabilizes the metal-ligand interaction. Complexes coordinated to a mercaptobenzothiazole framework (H1) or mercaptobenzoxazole (H6) showed high cytotoxicity against several cancer cells but not against normal cells. In vitro studies have shown that the inhibition of cancer cell growth involves primarily G1-phase arrest as well as the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The complexes are found to bind DNA in a non-intercalative fashion and cause unwinding of plasmid DNA in a cell-free medium. Surprisingly, the cytotoxic complexes H1 and H6 differ in their interaction with DNA, as observed by biophysical studies, they either cause a biphasic melting of the DNA or the inhibition of topoisomerase-IIα activity, respectively. Substitution of the aromatic ring of the heterocycle or adding a second hydrogen-bond donor on the heterocycle reduces the cytotoxicity. Copyright

Small molecules interfering with posttranslational modification of histones are of interest as tools to study epigenetic regulation of gene transcription. Specifically, drugs that interfere with histone deacetylation could be useful to induce differentiation, growth arrest as well as apoptotic cell death in tumor cells. One class of histone deacetylases is known as sirtuins some of which (Saccharomyces cerevisiae Sir2) are for example inhibited by the lactone splitomicin leading to telomeric silencing in yeast. However, splitomicin is only a micromolar inhibitor of yeast Sir2 and does not inhibit human subtypes and the lactone is prone to hydrolytic ring opening. In preliminary SAR-studies, splitomicin analogs lacking this hydrolytically labile ring were described as inactive while the naphthalene moiety could successfully be replaced by smaller aromatic rings in a fragment-like dihydrocoumarin. Here we report the synthesis and biological activity of a series of hydrolytically stable analogs with activity against human SIRT1 and 2. These comparatively small compounds characterized by high ligand efficiency are used as a starting point toward the development of specific inhibitors of histone deacetylases from the class of sirtuins.

By developing 6-amidino-2-naphthyl 4-guanidinobenzoate (I, FUT-175) as a basic structure, its various derivatives were synthesized and their inhibitory activities on trypsin, plasmin, kallikrein, thrombin, C1r and C1s as well as on complement-mediated hemolysis were examined. The protective effect of these compounds on complement-mediated Forssman shock was also examined in guinea pigs. 6-Amidino-2-naphthyl 4-[(4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)amino]benzoate (41, FUT-187) was found to be a suitable compound for oral administration with anti-complement activity superior to that of compound I.
