We report on the virtual screening, synthesis, and biological evaluation of new furan derivatives targeting Mycobacterium tuberculosis salicylate synthase (MbtI). A receptor-based virtual screening procedure was applied to screen the Enamine database, identifying two compounds, I and III, endowed with a good enzyme inhibitory activity. Considering the most active compound I as starting point for the development of novel MbtI inhibitors, we obtained new derivatives based on the furan scaffold. Among the SAR performed on this class, compound 1a emerged as the most potent MbtI inhibitor reported to date (Ki = 5.3 μM). Moreover, compound 1a showed a promising antimycobacterial activity (MIC99 = 156 μM), which is conceivably related to mycobactin biosynthesis inhibition.

A novel series of diaryl ureas containing different linker groups were designed and synthesized. Their in vitro antitumor activity against MX-1, A375, HepG2, Ketr3 and HT-29 was evaluated using the standard MTT assay. Compounds having a rigid linker group such as vinyl, ethynyl and phenyl showed significant inhibitory activity against a variety of cancer cell lines. Specifically, compound 23 with a phenyl linker group demonstrated broad-spectrum antitumor activity with IC50 values of 5.17-6.46 μM against five tested tumor cell lines. Compound 23 is more potent than reference drug sorafenib (8.27-15.2 μM), representing a promising lead for further optimization.

Recent drug discovery programs targeting urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) have resulted in nonpeptidic inhibitors consisting of amidine or guanidine functional groups attached to aromatic or heteroaromatic scaffolds. There is a general problem of poor oral bioavailability of these charged inhibitors. In this paper, we report the synthesis and evaluation of a series of naphthamide and naphthalene sulfonamides as uPA inhibitors containing non-basic groups as substitute for amidine or guanidine groups.

Design and synthesis of non-peptide Ras CAAX mimetics as potent farnesyltransferase inhibitors
Qian, Yimin,Vogt, Andreas,Sebti, Sa?d M.,Hamilton, Andrew D.
, p. 217 - 223 (2007/10/03)
Cysteine farnesylation of the ras oncogene product Ras is required for its transforming activity and is catalyzed by farnesyltransferase (FTase). The Ras carboxyl terminal tetrapeptide CAAX (C is cysteine, A is any aliphatic amino acid, X is methionine or serine) is the minimum sequence for FTase recognition. We report here the design, synthesis, and biological characterization of Ras CAAX non-peptide mimetics in which the cysteine is linked through a reduced pseudopeptide bond to 4-amino-3'-carboxybiphenyl. These non-peptide mimetics are potent inhibitors of FTase (IC50 = 40 nM for the most potent inhibitor) and are highly selective for FTase over GGTase I (geranylgeranyltransferase I). They are not substrates for farnesylation, do not have peptidic features, and have no hydrolyzable bonds. Structure- activity studies reveal the importance of the position of the carboxylic acid on the aryl ring as well as the reduction of the cysteine amide bond. Substitution at the 2-position of 4-amino-3'-carboxybiphenyl increases inhibitory potency, while the removal of the carboxylic acid results in a 10- fold loss of inhibitory activity.
