Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT) is a neglected tropical disease caused by the parasitic protozoan Trypanosoma brucei (T. b.), and affects communities in sub-Saharan Africa. Previously, analogues of a tetrahydroisoquinoline scaffold were reported as having in vitro activity (IC50 = 0.25–70.5 μM) against T. b. rhodesiense. In this study the synthesis and antitrypanosomal activity of 80 compounds based around a core tetrahydroisoquinoline scaffold are reported. A detailed structure activity relationship was revealed, and five derivatives (two of which have been previously reported) with inhibition of T. b. rhodesiense growth in the sub-micromolar range were identified. Four of these (3c, 12b, 17b and 26a) were also found to have good selectivity over mammalian cells (SI > 50). Calculated logD values and preliminary ADME studies predict that these compounds are likely to have good absorption and metabolic stability, with the ability to passively permeate the blood brain barrier. This makes them excellent leads for a blood-brain barrier permeable antitrypanosomal scaffold.

Myocardial infarction (MI) injury is a highly lethal syndrome that has, until recently, suffered from a lack of clinically efficient targeted therapeutics. The cardiac troponin I interacting kinase (TNNI3K) exacerbates ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury via oxidative stress, thereby promoting cardiomyocyte death. In this current study, we designed and synthesized 35 novel TNNI3K inhibitors with a pyrido[4,5]thieno[2,3-d] pyrimidine scaffold. In vitro results indicated that some of the inhibitors exhibited sub-micromolar TNNI3K inhibitory capacity and good kinase selectivity, as well as cytoprotective activity, in an oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) injury cardiomyocyte model. Furthermore, investigation of the mechanism of the representative derivative compound 6o suggested it suppresses pyroptosis and apoptosis in cardiomyocytes by interfering with p38MAPK activation, which was further confirmed in a murine myocardial infarction injury model. In vivo results indicate that compound 6o can markedly reduce myocardial infarction size and alleviate cardiac tissue damage in rats. In brief, our results provide the basis for further development of novel TNNI3K inhibitors for targeted MI therapy.
ARYLNAPHTHALENE COMPOUNDS AS VACUOLAR-ATPASE INHIBITORS AND THE USE THEREOF

Paragraph 0131-0132, (2019/10/15)
Ebola virus and Marburg virus are filoviruses and are responsible for outbreaks that cause up to 90% fatality, including the recent outbreak in West Africa that has resulted in over 11,000 deaths. The present disclosure generally relates to novel arylnaphthalene compounds as a vacuolar-ATPase inhibitor that are useful for the treatment of various viral infections, including those infections caused by filoviruses. Pharmaceutical composition matters and methods of use are within the scope of this invention.
