Evaluation of michael-type acceptor reactivity of 5-benzylidenebarbiturates, 5-benzylidenerhodanines, and related heterocycles using NMR

Despite existing experimental and computational tools to assess the risk, the non-specific chemical modification of protein thiol groups remains a significant source of false-positive hits, particularly in academic drug discovery. Herein, we describe the

Benzylidene-linked thiohydantoin derivatives as inhibitors of tyrosinase and melanogenesis: Importance of the β-phenyl-α,β-unsaturated carbonyl functionality

Based on the structural characteristics of the heterocyclic scaffolds of substituted benzylidene-hydantoin, -pyrrolidinedione, and -thiazolidinedione derivatives with potent tyrosinase inhibitory activity, substituted benzylidene derivatives with a 2-thio

Benzylidene 2-aminoimidazolones derivatives: Synthesis and in vitro evaluation of anti-tumor carcinoma activity

A series of benzylidene 2-aminoimidazolones derivatives were synthesized. Most compounds displayed strong inhibitory activity on the proliferation of human HepG2 cells in vitro. The active compounds were further evaluated by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay against five human cancer cell lines in vitro. Compound 2b exhibited the strongest antitumor activities with IC50 values ranging from 12.87-17.10 μM which were nearly 1-3.5 fold less than that of 5-FU (IC50=18.39-56.12 μM) in vitro. Furthermore, compound 2b could induce SMMC-7721 cell apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. Therefore, our novel findings may provide a new framework for the design of new benzylidene 2-aminoimidazolones derivatives for the treatment of cancer.

Privileged scaffolds or promiscuous binders: A comparative study on rhodanines and related heterocycles in medicinal chemistry

Rhodanines and related five-membered heterocycles with multiple heteroatoms have recently gained a reputation of being unselective compounds that appear as "frequent hitters" in screening campaigns and therefore have little value in drug discovery. However, this judgment appears to be based mostly on anecdotal evidence. Having identified various rhodanines and related compounds in screening campaigns, we decided to perform a systematic study on their promiscuity. An amount of 163 rhodanines, hydantoins, thiohydantoins, and thiazolidinediones were synthesized and tested against several targets. The compounds were also characterized with respect to aggregation and electrophilic reactivity, and the binding modes of rhodanines and related compounds in published X-ray cocrystal structures were analyzed. The results indicate that the exocyclic, double bonded sulfur atom in rhodanines and thiohydantoins, in addition to other structural features, offers a particularly high density of interaction sites for polar interactions and hydrogen bonds. This causes a promiscuous behavior at concentrations in the "screening range" but should not be regarded as a general knockout criterion that excludes such screening hits from further development. It is suggested that special criteria for target affinity and selectivity are applied to these classes of compounds and that their exceptional and potentially valuable biomolecular binding properties are consequently exploited in a useful way.
