Dual- or multi-target drugs are particularly promising for the treatment of complex diseases such as (neuro)inflammatory disorders. In the present study, we identified dual antagonists for two related pro-inflammatory G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), the purinergic receptor P2Y2 receptor, and the orphan receptor GPR17. Based on the lead compound suramin small molecules were designed, synthesized, and modified, including benzenesulfonate, benzenesulfonamide, dibenzamide and diphenylurea derivatives. Structure-activity relationship studies identified 3-nitrophenyl 4-benzamidobenzenesulfonic acid derivatives as dual P2Y2R/GPR17 antagonists. In particular, 3-nitrophenyl 4-(4-chlorobenzamido)benzenesulfonate (14l, IC50 3.01 μM at P2Y2R, and 3.37 μM at GPR17) and 3-nitrophenyl-4-(2-chlorobenzamido)benzenesulfonate (14m, IC50 3.17 μM at P2Y2R, and 1.67 μM at GPR17) exhibited dual antagonistic activity. Compound 14l was shown to act as an allosteric antagonist at both receptors. In addition, GPR17-selective antagonists were identified including 3-nitrophenyl 4-benzamidobenzenesulfonate (14a, IC50 3.20 μM) and 3-nitrophenyl 4-(3-(trifluoromethyl)benzamido)benzenesulfonate (14f, IC50 3.88 μM). The developed antagonists were selective versus other closely related P2Y receptors. They were found to possess high chemical and metabolic stability in human liver microsomes and therefore present good starting points for developing potent multi-target drugs with potential applications in inflammatory diseases.

β-Secretase (BACE) inhibitors have potential as anti-Alzheimer's disease treatments prompting us to explore the pharmacophoric space of 129 known BACE inhibitors. QSAR analysis was employed to select optimal combination of pharmacophoric models and 2D physicochemical descriptors capable of explaining bioactivity variation (r2 = 0.88, F = 60.48, rLOO2 = 0.85, rPRESS2 against 25 external test inhibitors = 0.71). We were obliged to use ligand efficiency as the response variable because the logarithmic transformation of bioactivities failed to access self-consistent QSAR models. Three pharmacophoric models emerged in the successful QSAR equation suggesting at least three binding modes accessible to ligands within BACE binding pocket. QSAR equation and pharmacophoric models were validated through ROC curves and were employed to guide synthesis of novel pyridinium-based BACE inhibitors. The best inhibitor illustrated an IC50 value of 1.0 μM against BACE.

N-(substituted-benzoyl)-1-aminonaphthalenes and N-(substituted-benzoyl)-2-aminonaphthalenes (1-NBAs and 2-NBAs) with varied substituents at the para- or meta-position of benzoylphenyl ring were prepared to probe the difference between 1-aminonaphthalene (1-AN) and 2-aminonaphthalene (2-AN) as electron donors, using benzanilide-like charge transfer as a probe reaction. An abnormal long-wavelength emission was found for all of the prepared aminonaphthalene derivatives in cyclohexane and was assigned to the CT state by the observation of a substantial red shift with increasing solvent polarity or with increasing electron-withdrawing ability of the substituent. The CT emission energies were found to follow a linear relationship with the Hammett constant of the substituent and the value of the linear slope for 1-NBAs (-0.45 eV) was higher than that of 2-NBAs(-0.35 eV), the latter being close to that of the aniline derivatives (BAs, -0.345 eV). This pointed to a higher extent of charge separation in the CT state of 1-NBAs in which a full charge separation was established by the reduction potential dependence of the CT emission energy with a linear slope of -1.00. The possible contribution of the difference in the steric effect and the electron donating ability of the donors in 1-NBAs and 2-NBAs was ruled out by the observation that the corresponding linear slopes of benzoyl-substituted BAs remained unchanged when para-, meta-, ortho-, or ortho, ortho-methyls were introduced into the aniline moiety. It was therefore concluded that 1-AN enhanced the charge transfer in 1-NBAs and the proximity of its 1La and 1Lb states was suggested to be responsible. Results showed that the charge transfers in 1-NBAs and 2-NBAs were not the same and 1-AN and 2-AN as electron donors were different not only in electron donating ability but in shaping the charge transfer pathways as well.
