Myeloid differentiation primary response protein 88 (MyD88), an essential adapter protein used by toll-like receptors (TLR), is a promising target molecule for the treatment of respiratory inflammatory diseases. Previous studies explored the activities of novel 2-amino-4-phenylthiazole analogue (6) in inflammation-induced cancer, and identified the analogue as an inhibitor of MyD88 toll/interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) homology domain dimerization. Here, we describe the synthesis of 47 new analogues by modifying different sites on this lead compound and assessed their anti-inflammatory activities in lipopolysaccharide-induced mouse primary peritoneal macrophages (MPMs). The most promising compound, 15d, was found to effectively interact with MyD88 protein and prevented formation of the MyD88 homodimeric complex. Furthermore, 15d showed in vivo anti-inflammatory activity in LPS-caused model of acute lung injury. This work provides new candidates as MyD88 inhibitors to combat inflammation diseases.

Considerable efforts have been made to the development of small-molecule inhibitors of antiapoptotic B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) family proteins (such as Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, and Mcl-1) as a new class of anticancer therapies. Unlike general inhibitors

Monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) and fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) are two enzymes from the serine hydrolase superfamily that degrade the endocannabinoids 2-arachidonoylglycerol and, anandamide, respectively. We have recently discovered that, MAGL and, FAAH are both inhibited by carbamates bearing an N-piperidine/piperazine group. Piperidine/piperazine carbamates show excellent in vivo activity, raising brain endocannabinoid levels and producing CB1-dependent behavioral effects in mice, suggesting that they represent a promising class of inhibitors for studying the endogenous functions of MAGL and FAAH. Herein, we disclose a full account of the syntheses, structure-activity relationships, and, inhibitory activities of piperidine/piperazine carbamates against members of the serine hydrolase family. These scaffolds can be tuned for MAGL-selective or dual MAGL-FAAH inhibition by the attachment of an, appropriately substituted bisarylcarbinol or aryloxybenzyl moiety, respectively, on the piperidine/piperazine ring. Modifications to the piperidine/piperazine ring ablated inhibitory activity, suggesting a strict requirement for a six-membered ring to maintain potency.

Presumed pharmacophoric groups of melanocortin peptides (naphthalene, amino or guanidine, and indole moieties) were combined in mimetics molecules looking for their favorable location for activity at melanocortin (MC) receptors. Twenty-two compounds were prepared and tested. The best of these displayed micromolar affinities for the MC receptors.

Starting from a random screening showing that 2-[(4- benzylpiperazinyl)methyl] chromone was a selective and potent sigma ligand, a series of analogues were synthesized. Introduction of a substituent on the chromone moiety, replacement of methylenes by carbonyl groups and benzyl by aryl groups decrease the affinity for sigma sites. The result obtained after introduction of various substituents on the aromatic part of the benzyl is strictly depending on the size and on the position of these substituents. Stretching of the carbon chain between the phenyl and the piperazine does not strongly modify the affinity. 2-[4-(4'-methoxy benzyl)1-piperazinyl methyl] chromone has been tested in behavioral tests that permit to believe that such derivatives could be interesting for the treatment of psychosis.
