-
Paragraph 0636-0639, (2017/11/10)
The present disclosure relates to amine-substituted aryl or heteroaryl compounds. The present disclosure also relates to pharmaceutical compositions containing these compounds and methods of treating a disorder (e.g., sickle cell anemia) via inhibition of a methyltransferase enzyme selected from EHMT1 and EHMT2, by administering an amine-substituted aryl or heteroaryl compound disclosed herein or a pharmaceutical composition thereof to subjects in need thereof. The present disclosure also relates to the use of such compounds for research or other non-therapeutic purposes.

Visceral leishmaniasis is a neglected parasitic disease that has a high fatality rate in the absence of treatment. New drugs that are inexpensive, orally active, and effective could be useful tools in the fight against this disease. We previously showed that N2,N4-disubstituted quinazoline-2,4-diamines displayed low- to sub-micromolar potency against intracellular Leishmania, and lead compound N4-(furan-2-ylmethyl)-N2-isopropyl-7-methylquinazoline-2,4-diamine (4) exhibited modest efficacy in an acute murine model of visceral leishmaniasis. In the present work, thirty-one N2,N4-disubstituted quinazoline-2,4-diamines that had not previously been examined for their antileishmanial activity were evaluated for their potency and selectivity against Leishmania donovani, the causative parasite of visceral leishmaniasis. Quinazoline-2,4-diamines with aromatic substituents at both N2 and N4 exhibited potent in vitro antileishmanial activity but relatively low selectivity, while compounds substituted with small alkyl groups at either N2 or N4 generally showed lower antileishmanial potency but were less toxic to a murine macrophage cell line. Based on their in vitro antileishmanial potency, N4-benzyl-N2-(4-chlorobenzyl)quinazoline-2,4-diamine (15) and N2-benzyl-N4-isopropylquinazoline-2,4-diamine (40) were selected for in vivo evaluation of their pharmacokinetic and antileishmanial properties. While 15 displayed a longer plasma half-life and a greater area under the curve than 40, both compounds showed low efficacy in an acute murine visceral leishmaniasis model. Although the present study did not identify new quinazoline-2,4-diamines with promising in vivo efficacy, the reduced in vitro toxicity of derivatives bearing small alkyl groups at either N2 or N4 may provide clues for the design of safe and effective antileishmanial quinazolines.

A series of N2,N4-disubstituted quinazoline-2,4- diamines has been synthesized and tested against Leishmania donovani and L. amazonensis intracellular amastigotes. A structure-activity and structure-property relationship study was conducted in part using the Topliss operational scheme to identify new lead compounds. This study led to the identification of quinazolines with EC50 values in the single digit micromolar or high nanomolar range in addition to favorable physicochemical properties. Quinazoline 23 also displayed efficacy in a murine model of visceral leishmaniasis, reducing liver parasitemia by 37% when given by the intraperitoneal route at 15 mg kg-1 day-1 for 5 consecutive days. Their antileishmanial efficacy, ease of synthesis, and favorable physicochemical properties make the N2,N 4-disubstituted quinazoline-2,4-diamine compound series a suitable platform for future development of antileishmanial agents.
