Starting from a known H4R ligand based on a pyrimidine skeleton, a series of novel analogues based on a pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine scaffold have been prepared. Whereas the original pyrimidine congener shows good affinity at hH4R (Ki = 0.5 μM), its lacks selectivity with a K i value for the hH3R of 1 μM. Within the newly synthesized pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines, several congeners show Ki values of less than 1 μM at the hH4R and show a much improved selectivity profile. Therefore, these series represent an interesting starting point for the discovery of novel hH4R ligands.
Analogues of 4-[(7-Bromo-2-methyl-4-oxo-3 H -quinazolin-6-yl)methylprop-2- ynylamino]- N -(3-pyridylmethyl)benzamide (CB-30865) as potent inhibitors of nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (Nampt)

We have shown previously that the target of the potent cytotoxic agent 4-[(7-bromo-2-methyl-4-oxo-3H-quinazolin-6-yl)methyl-prop-2-ynylamino] -N-(3-pyridylmethyl)benzamide (CB38065, 1) is nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (Nampt). With its cellular target known we sought to optimize the biochemical and cellular Nampt activity of 1 as well as its cytotoxicity. It was found that a 3-pyridylmethylamide substituent in the A region was critical to cellular Nampt activity and cytotoxicity, although other aromatic substitution did yield compounds with submicromolar enzymatic inhibition. Small unsaturated groups worked best in the D-region of the molecule, with 3,3-dimethylallyl providing optimal potency. The E region required a quinazolin-4-one or 1,2,3-benzotriazin-4-one group for activity, and many substituents were tolerated at C2 of the quinazolin-4-one. The best compounds showed subnanomolar inhibition of Nampt and low nanomolar cytotoxicity in cellular assays.

A novel classical antifolate N-{4-[(2,4-diamino-5-methyl-furo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-6-yl)thio]-benzoyl}-l-glutamic acid 5 and 11 nonclassical antifolates 6-16 were designed, synthesized, and evaluated as inhibitors of dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) and thymidylate synthase (TS). The nonclassical compounds 6-16 were synthesized from 20 via oxidative addition of substituted thiophenols using iodine. Peptide coupling of the intermediate acid 21 followed by saponification gave the classical analog 5. Compound 5 is the first example, to our knowledge, of a 2,4-diamino furo[2,3-d]pyrimidine classical antifolate that has inhibitory activity against both human DHFR and human TS. The classical analog 5 was a nanomolar inhibitor and remarkably selective inhibitor of Pneumocystis carinii DHFR and Mycobacterium avium DHFR at 263-fold and 2107-fold, respectively, compared to mammalian DHFR. The nonclassical analogs 6-16 were moderately potent against pathogen DHFR or TS. This study shows that the furo[2,3-d]pyrimidine scaffold is conducive to dual human DHFR-TS inhibitory activity and to high potency and selectivity for pathogen DHFR.
