Non-thiol farnesyltransferase inhibitors: Utilization of the far aryl binding site by arylthienylacryloyl-aminobenzophenones

We recently described two novel aryl binding sites of farnesyltransferase. The 4- and 5-arylsubstituted thienylacryloyl moieties turned out as appropriate substituents for our benzophenone-based AAX-peptidomimetic capable for occupying the far aryl binding site.

Metal-Free Aerobic Oxidative Selective C-C Bond Cleavage in Heteroaryl-Containing Primary and Secondary Alcohols

A transition-metal-free aerobic oxidative selective C-C bond-cleavage reaction in primary and secondary heteroaryl alcohols is reported. This reaction was highly efficient and tolerated various heteroaryl alcohols, generating a carboxylic acid derivative and a neutral heteroaromatic compound. Experimental studies combined with density functional theory calculations revealed the mechanism underlying the selective C-C bond cleavage. This strategy also provides an alternative simple approach to carboxylation reaction.

Design and synthesis of natural product derivatives with selective and improved cytotoxicity based on a sesquiterpene scaffold

Brasilamide E (1) is a bisabolane sesquiterpenoid isolated from the solid-substrate fermentation cultures of a plant endophytic fungus Paraconiothyrium brasiliense. The compound specifically inhibited proliferation of the MCF-7 cells, but did not show cyt

Design and synthesis of arylthiophene-2-carbaldehydes via suzuki-miyaura reactions and their biological evaluation

A series of various novel 4-arylthiophene-2-carbaldehyde compounds were synthesized in moderate to excellent yields via Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling with different arylboronic pinacol esters/acids. The synthesized products were screened for their antibacterial, haemolytic, antiurease, and nitric oxide (NO) scavenging capabilities and interestingly, almost all products turned out to have good activities. 3-(5-Formylthiophene- 3-yl)-5-(trifloromethyl)benzonitrile (2d) revealed excellent antibacterial activity, showing an IC50 value of 29.7 μg/mL against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, compared to the standard drug streptomycin with an IC50 value 35.2 μg/mL and was also found to be the best NO scavenger, with an IC50 value of 45.6 μg/mL. Moreover, 4-(3-chloro-4-fluorophenyl) thiophene-2-carbaldehyde (2i) exhibited a superior haemolytic action and an outstanding urease inhibition, showing an IC50 value of 27.1 μg/mL.

Synthesis, biological evaluation and molecular modelling studies of methyleneimidazole substituted biaryls as inhibitors of human 17α-hydroxylase-17,20-lyase (CYP17). Part I: Heterocyclic modifications of the core structure

Novel chemical entities were prepared via Suzuki and SN reaction as AC-ring substrate mimetics of CYP17. The synthesised compounds 1-31 were tested for activity using human CYP17 expressed in Escherichia coli. Promising compounds were tested for selectivity against hepatic CYP enzymes (3A4, 2D6, 1A2, 2C9, 2C19, 2B6). Two potent inhibitors (27, IC50 = 373 nM/28, IC50 = 953 nM) were further examined in rats regarding their effects on plasma testosterone levels and their pharmacokinetic properties. Compound 28 was similarly active as abiraterone and showed better pharmacokinetic properties (higher bioavailability, t1/2 9.5 h vs 1.6 h). Docking studies revealed two new binding modes different from the one of the substrates and steroidal inhibitors.

Structure-activity relationships of novel anti-malarial agents part 8. Effect of different central aryls in biarylacryloylaminobenzophenones on antimalarial activity

Replacement of the 2,5-disubstituted furyl residue present in the known antimalarial agents 8 by other aryl residues resulted in a more or less reduced antimalarial activity in most cases. The only exemption was the 2,4-thienylene compound 11a displaying activity with an IC50 value of 120 nM. In conclusion, the 2,5-furylene compound 8e remains to represent the most active antimalarial agent in this series of farnesyltransferase inhibitors.
