Plinabulin, a synthetic analog of the marine natural product “diketopiperazine phenylahistin,” displayed depolymerization effects on microtubules and targeted the colchicine site, which has been moved into phase III clinical trials for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and the prevention of chemotherapy-induced neutropenia (CIN). To develop more potent anti-microtubule and cytotoxic derivatives, the co-crystal complexes of plinabulin derivatives were summarized and analyzed. We performed further modifications of the tert-butyl moiety or C-ring of imidazole-type derivatives to build a library of molecules through the introduction of different groups for novel skeletons. Our structure–activity relationship study indicated that compounds 17o (IC50 = 14.0 nM, NCI-H460) and 17p (IC50 = 2.9 nM, NCI-H460) with furan groups exhibited potent cytotoxic activities at the nanomolar level against various human cancer cell lines. In particular, the 5-methyl or methoxymethyl substituent of furan group could replace the alkyl group of imidazole at the 5-position to maintain cytotoxic activity, contradicting previous reports that the tert-butyl moiety at the 5-position of imidazole was essential for the activity of such compounds. Immunofluorescence assay indicated that compounds 17o and 17p could efficiently inhibit microtubule polymerization. Overall, the novel furan-diketopiperazine-type derivatives could be considered as a potential scaffold for the development of anti-cancer drugs.

The co-crystal structure of Compound 6b with tubulin was prepared and solved for indicating the binding mode and for further optimization. Based on the co-crystal structures of tubulin with plinabulin and Compound 6b, a total of 27 novel A/B/C-rings plinabulin derivatives were designed and synthesized. Their biological activities were evaluated against human lung cancer NCI-H460 cell line. The optimum phenoxy-diketopiperazine-type Compound 6o exhibited high potent cytotoxicity (IC50 = 4.0 nM) through SAR study of three series of derivatives, which was more potent than plinabulin (IC50 = 26.2 nM) and similar to Compound 6b (IC50 = 3.8 nM) against human lung cancer NCI-H460 cell line. Subsequently, the Compound 6o was evaluated against other four human cancer cell lines. Both tubulin polymerization assay and immunofluorescence assay showed that Compound 6o could inhibit microtubule polymerization efficiently. Furthermore, theoretical calculation of the physical properties and molecular docking were elucidated for these plinabulin derivatives. The binding mode of Compound 6o was similar to Compound 6b based on the result of molecular docking. The theoretical calculated LogPo/w and PCaco of Compound 6o were better than Compound 6b, which could enhance its cytostatic activity. Therefore, Compound 6o might be developed as a novel potent anti-microtubule agent.

β-Lactams are used routinely to treat Staphylococcus aureus infections. However, the emergence of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) renders them clinically precarious. We describe a class of cinnamonitrile adjuvants that restore the activity of oxacillin (a penicillin member of the β-lactams) against MRSA. The lead adjuvants were tested against six important strains of MRSA, one vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus (VISA) strain, and one linezolid-resistant S. aureus strain. Five compounds out of 84 total compounds showed broad potentiation. At 8 μM (E)-3-(5-(3,4-dichlorobenzyl)-2-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl)-2-(methylsulfonyl)acrylonitrile (26) potentiated oxacillin with a >4000-fold reduction of its MIC (from 256 to 0.06 mg·L-1). This class of adjuvants holds promise for reversal of the resistance phenotype of MRSA.

The ligands of certain G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) have been identified as endogenous lipids, such as lysophosphatidylserine (LysoPS). Here, we analyzed the molecular basis of the structure-activity relationship of ligands of GPR34, one of the LysoPS receptor subtypes, focusing on recognition of the long-chain fatty acid moiety by the hydrophobic pocket. By introducing benzene ring(s) into the fatty acid moiety of 2-deoxy-LysoPS, we explored the binding site's preference for the hydrophobic shape. A tribenzene-containing fatty acid surrogate with modifications of the terminal aromatic moiety showed potent agonistic activity toward GPR34. Computational docking of these derivatives with a homology modeling/molecular dynamics-based virtual binding site of GPR34 indicated that a kink in the benzene-based lipid surrogates matches the L-shaped hydrophobic pocket of GPR34. A tetrabenzene-based lipid analogue bearing a bulky tert-butyl group at the 4-position of the terminal benzene ring exhibited potent GPR34 agonistic activity, validating the present hydrophobic binding pocket model.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS5B polymerase is a key target for anti-HCV therapeutics development. Herein, we report the synthesis and in vitro evaluation of anti-NS5B polymerase activity of a molecular hybrid of our previously reported lead compounds 1 (IC50 = 7.7 μM) and 2 (IC50 = 10.6 μM) as represented by hybrid compound 27 (IC 50 = 6.7 μM). We have explored the optimal substituents on the terminal phenyl ring of the 3-phenoxybenzylidene moiety in 27, by generating a set of six analogs. This resulted in the identification of compound 34 with an IC50 of 2.6 μM. To probe the role of stereochemistry towards the observed biological activity, we synthesized and evaluated the d-isomers 41 (IC50 = 19.3 μM) and 45 (IC50 = 5.4 μM) as enantiomers of the l-isomers 27 and 34, respectively. The binding site of compounds 32 and 34 was mapped to palm pocket-I (PP-I) of NS5B. The docking models of 34 and 45 within the PP-I of NS5B were investigated to envisage the molecular mechanism of inhibition.
