Previous studies demonstrated that anti-hyperlipidemic drug gemfibrozil acts as NO- and heme-independent activator of NO receptor soluble guanylyl cyclase. A series of new gemfibrozil derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for sGC activation. The structure-activity relationship study identified the positions in gemfibrozil's scaffold that are detrimental for sGC activation and those that are amendable for optimizing modifications. Compared with gemfibrozil, compounds 7c and 15b were more potent activators of cGMP-forming activity of purified sGC and exhibited enhanced relaxation of preconstricted mouse thoracic aorta rings. These studies established the overall framework needed for futher improvement of sGC activators based on gemfibrozil scaffold.

Identification of the novel (E)-N1-((2-chloro-7-methoxyquinolin-3-yl)methylene)-3-(phenylthio) propanehydrazide scaffold 18 has led to the development of a new series of biologically active hydrazide compounds. The parent compound 18 and new quinoline derivatives 19-26 were prepared from the corresponding quinoline hydrazones and substituted carboxylic acids using EDC-mediated peptide coupling reactions. Further modification of the parent compound 18 was achieved by replacement of the quinoline moiety with other aromatic systems. All the newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for their anti-cancer activity against the SH-SY5Y and Kelly neuroblastoma cell lines, as well as the MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 breast adenocarcinoma cell lines. Analogues 19 and 22 significantly reduced the cell viability of neuroblastoma cancer cells with micromolar potency and significant selectivity over normal cells. The quinoline hydrazide 22 also induced G1 cell cycle arrest, as well as upregulation of the p27kip1 cell cycle regulating protein.

A series of substituted oxazole compounds having an alpha keto side chain at the 2 position and an aromatic, heteroaromatic or heterocycle substituent at the 5 position are disclosed. These compounds exhibit inhibition of fatty acid amid hydrolase and are useful for treatment of malconditions involving that enzyme.

A systematic study of the structure-activity relationships of 2b (OL-135), a potent inhibitor of fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), is detailed targeting the C2 acyl side chain. A series of aryl replacements or substituents for the terminal phenyl group provided effective inhibitors (e.g., 5c, aryl = 1-napthyl, K, - 2.6 nM), with 5hh (aryl -3-ClPh, Ki = 900 pM) being 5-fold more potent than 2b. Conformationally restricted C2 side chains were examined, and many provided exceptionally potent inhibitors, of which 11j (ethylbiphenyl side chain) was established to be a 750 pM inhibitor. A systematic series of heteroatoms (O, NMe, S), electron-withdrawing groups (SO, SO2), and amides positioned within and hydroxyl substitutions on the linking side chain were investigated, which typically led to a loss in potency. The most tolerant positions provided effective inhibitors (12p, 6-position S, Ki = 3 nM, or 13d, 2-position OH, Ki = 8 nM) comparable in potency to 2b. Proteome-wide screening of selected inhibitors from the systematic series of >100 candidates prepared revealed that they are selective for FAAH over all other mammalian serine proteases.

The thermal properties of the homologous series of cholesteryl ω-(4-benzoylphenyl)- (I), ω-(4-benzylphenyl)- (II), ω-benzoyl- (III), and ω-phenoxyalkanoate (IV) have been investigated.For series I and II the cholesteric-isotropic (Ch-I) transition temperatures, enthalpies, and entropies show a remarkable alternation.For series III and IV, the transition temperatures, enthalpies, and entropies exhibit weak alternation and their trends are opposite to those for series I and II, and the cholesteryl ω-phenylalkanoates.The cholesteric-isotropic transition temperatures are discussed in terms of the geometrical and electrical alternations stemming from the terminal aryl groups, and also the relative importance between these two terms.
