In the face of emerging infectious diseases, there remains an unmet need for vaccine development where adjuvants that enhance immune responses to pathogenic antigens are highly desired. Using high-throughput screens with a cell-based nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) reporter assay, we identified a sulfamoyl benzamidothiazole bearing compound 1 that demonstrated a sustained activation of NF-κB after a primary stimulus with a Toll-like receptor (TLR)-4 agonist, lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Here, we explore systematic structure–activity relationship (SAR) studies on compound 1 that indicated the sites on the scaffold that tolerated modification and yielded more potent compounds compared to 1. The selected analogs enhanced release of immunostimulatory cytokines in the human monocytic cell line THP-1 cells and murine primary dendritic cells. In murine vaccination studies, select compounds were used as co-adjuvants in combination with the Food and Drug Administration approved TLR-4 agonistic adjuvant, monophosphoryl lipid A (MPLA) that showed significant enhancement in antigen-specific antibody titers compared to MPLA alone. Additionally, our SAR studies led to identification of a photoaffinity probe which will aid the target identification and mechanism of action studies in the future.

A novel series of 1,2-benzisothiazol-3-one derivatives was synthesized and their biological activities were evaluated for inhibiting caspase-3 and -7 activities, in which some of them showed low nanomolar potency against caspase-3 in vitro and significant protection against apoptosis in a camptothecin-induced Jurkat T cells system. Among the tested compounds, compound 5i exhibited the most potent caspase-3 inhibitory activity (IC50 = 1.15 nM). The molecular docking predicted the interactions and binding modes of the synthesized inhibitor in the caspase-3 active site.
