Preparation of phenylethylbenzamide derivatives as modulators of DNMT3 activity

DNA-methyltransferases (DNMTs) are a class of epigenetic enzymes that catalyze the transfer of a methyl moiety from the methyl donor S-adenosyl-l-methionine onto the C5 position of cytosine in DNA. This process is dysregulated in cancers and leads to the hypermethylation and silencing of tumor suppressor genes. The development of potent and selective inhibitors of DNMTs is of utmost importance for the discovery of new therapies for the treatment of cancer. We report herein the synthesis and DNMT inhibitory activity of 29 analogues derived from NSC 319745. The effect of selected compounds on the methylation level in the MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cell line was evaluated using a luminometric methylation assay. Molecular docking studies have been conducted to propose a binding mode for this series.

Hypoglycemically and hypolipidemically active derivatives of phenyl-alkane-carboxylic acids

Phenyl-alkane-carboxylic acids of the formula STR1 wherein A is an aryl, aralkyl or arylvinyl radical optionally substituted by hydroxy, halogen, trifluoromethyl, alkyl, alkylthio, alkoxy, alkenyloxy, alkoxyalkoxy, alkyl-substituted amino, aryloxy or alkoxy-substituted aryloxy, or is an aryloxyalkyl or arylthioalkyl radical, or a heterocyclic ring system optionally substituted by halogen, alkyl or alkoxy, Y is a valency bond or an unbranched or branched lower alkylene radical containing up to 3 carbon atoms, X is a straight or branched, saturated or unsaturated divalent aliphatic hydrocarbon radical containing 2 to 8 carbon atoms, there being at least 2 carbon atoms between the benzene ring and the carboxyl group, and R is a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl radical, as well as physiologically compatible salts, esters and amides thereof, exhibit hypoglycaemic and hypolipidaemic activity.
