Autophagy is the common name for a number of lysosome-based degradation pathways of cytosolic cargos. The key components of autophagy are members of Atg8 family proteins involved in almost all steps of the process, from autophagosome formation to their selective fusion with lysosomes. In this study, we show that the homologous members of the human Atg8 family proteins, LC3A and LC3B, are druggable by a small molecule inhibitor novobiocin. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies of the 4-hydroxy coumarin core scaffold were performed, supported by a crystal structure of the LC3A dihydronovobiocin complex. The study reports the first nonpeptide inhibitors for these protein interaction targets and will lay the foundation for the development of more potent chemical probes for the Atg8 protein family which may also find applications for the development of autophagy-mediated degraders (AUTACs).

Schistosomiasis is a major neglected parasitic disease that affects more than 265 million people worldwide and for which the control strategy consists of mass treatment with the only available drug, praziquantel. In this study, we chemically optimized our previously reported benzhydroxamate-based inhibitors of Schistosoma mansoni histone deacetylase 8 (smHDAC8). Crystallographic analysis provided insights into the inhibition mode of smHDAC8 activity by the highly potent inhibitor 5o. Structure-based optimization of the novel inhibitors was carried out using the available crystal structures as well as docking studies on smHDAC8. The compounds were evaluated in screens for inhibitory activity against schistosome and human HDACs (hHDAC). The in vitro and docking results were used for detailed structure activity relationships. The synthesized compounds were further investigated for their lethality against the schistosome larval stage using a fluorescence-based assay. The most promising inhibitor 5o showed significant dose-dependent killing of the schistosome larvae and markedly impaired egg laying of adult worm pairs maintained in culture.

The enzyme dihydrofolate reductase from M. tuberculosis (MtDHFR) has a high unexploited potential to be a target for new drugs against tuberculosis (TB), due to its importance for pathogen survival. Preliminary studies have obtained fragment-like molecule
Synthesis and comparative structure-activity study of carbohydrate-based phenolic compounds as α-glucosidase inhibitors and antioxidants

Twenty-one natural and unnatural phenolic compounds containing a carbohydrate moiety were synthesized and their structure-activity relationship (SAR) was evaluated for α-glucosidase inhibition and antioxidative activity. Varying the position of the galloyl unit on the 1,5-anhydro -D-glucitol (1,5-AG) core resulted in changes in the α-glucosidase inhibitory activity and notably, particularly strong activity was demonstrated when the galloyl unit was present at the C-2 position. Furthermore, increasing the number of the galloyl units significantly affected the α-glucosidase inhibition, and 2,3,4,6-tetra-galloyl-1,5-AG (54) and 2,3,4,6-tetra-galloyl-d-glucopyranose (61) exhibited excellent activities, which were more than 13-fold higher than the α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of acertannin (37). Moreover, a comparative structure-activity study suggested that a hemiacetal hydroxyl functionality in the carbohydrate core and a biaryl bond of the 4,6-O-hexahydroxydiphenoyl (HHDP) group, which are components of ellagitannins including tellimagrandin I, are not necessary for the α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. Lastly, the antioxidant activity increased proportionally with the number of galloyl units.

Involved in the tyrosine degradation pathway, 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) is an important target for treating type I tyrosinemia. To discover novel HPPD inhibitors, we proposed a hydrophobicity-oriented drug design (HODD) strategy based on the interactions between HPPD and the commercial drug NTBC. Most of the new compounds showed improved activity, compound d23 being the most active candidate (IC50 = 0.047 μM) with about 2-fold more potent than NTBC (IC50 = 0.085 μM). Therefore, compound d23 is a potential drug candidate to treat type I tyrosinemia.

3-Methoxybenzamide (3-MBA) derivatives have been identified as novel class of potent antibacterial agents targeting the bacterial cell division protein FtsZ. As one of isosteres for the amide group, 1,2,3-triazole can mimic the topological and electronic features of the amide, which has gained increasing attention in drug discovery. Based on these considerations, we prepared a series of 1H-1,2,3-triazole-containing 3-MBA analogues via isosteric replacement of the terminal amide with triazole, which had increased antibacterial activity. This study demonstrated the possibility of developing the 1H-1,2,3-triazole group as a terminal amide-mimetic element which was capable of both keeping and modulating amide-related bioactivity. Surprisingly, a different action mode of these new 1H-1,2,3-triazole-containing analogues was observed, which could open new opportunities for the development of antibacterial agents.

Acid sphingomyelinase (ASM) has been shown to be involved in many physiological processes, emerging to be a promising drug target. In this study, we constructed a ligand-based pharmacophore model of ASM inhibitors and applied this model to optimize the lead compound α-mangostin, a known inhibitor of ASM. 23 compounds were designed and evaluated in vitro for ASM inhibition, of these, 10 compounds were found to be more potent than α-mangostin. This high hit ratio confirmed that the presented model is very effective and practical. The most potent hit, 1c, was found to selectively and competitively inhibit the enzyme and inhibit the generation of ceramide in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, 1c showed favorable anti-apoptosis and anti-inflammatory activity. Interactions with key residues and the Zn2+ cofactor of 1c were found by docking simulation. These results provide promising leads and important guidance for further development of efficient ASM inhibitors and drug candidates.
Nhatrangin A: Total Syntheses of the Proposed Structure and Six of Its Diastereoisomers

A total synthesis of the proposed structure of nhatrangin A is described. This strategy relies on two aldol reactions to install the chiral centers at C3/C4 and C3′/C4′, a lithium-mediated coupling between an advanced intermediate alkyne and a Weinreb amide to complete the C1-C13 alkyl scaffold, and a Yamaguchi esterification to set the side chain. Discrepancies in the spectroscopic data between synthetic and natural nhatrangins led us to synthesize six more diastereoisomers of the proposed structure of nhatrangin A.

A series of monomeric and dimeric FeIII complexes bearing benzoic hydroxamates as O,O-chelates has been prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), cyclic voltammetry, EPR spectroscopy and for some examples by X-ray diffraction analysis. The stability of the synthesized complexes in pure water and seawater was monitored over 24 h by means of UV-Vis spectrometry. The ability to release iron from the synthesized model complexes has been investigated with algae growth experiments.
