Glutaminyl cyclase (QC) has been implicated in the formation of toxic amyloid plaques by generating the N-terminal pyroglutamate of β-amyloid peptides (pGlu-Aβ) and thus may participate in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). We designed a library of glutamyl cyclase (QC) inhibitors based on the proposed binding mode of the preferred substrate, Aβ3E?42. An in vitro structure-activity relationship study identified several excellent QC inhibitors demonstrating 5- to 40-fold increases in potency compared to a known QC inhibitor. When tested in mouse models of AD, compound 212 significantly reduced the brain concentrations of pyroform Aβ and total Aβ and restored cognitive functions. This potent Aβ-lowering effect was achieved by incorporating an additional binding region into our previously established pharmacophoric model, resulting in strong interactions with the carboxylate group of Glu327 in the QC binding site. Our study offers useful insights in designing novel QC inhibitors as a potential treatment option for AD.

Heteroaryl halides undergoes cross-couplings with alkynes in good yields in the presence of [PdCl(C3H5)]2/cis,cis,cis-1,2, 3,4-tetrakis(diphenylphosphinomethyl)cyclopentane as catalyst. A variety of heteroaryl halides such as pyridines, quinolines, a pyrimidine, an indole, a thiophene, or a thiazole have been used successfully. The reaction also tolerates several alkynes such as phenylacetylene and a range of alk-1-ynols. Furthermore, this catalyst can be used at low loading with some substrates.

A series of N-(heterocyclic alkyl)pyridoquinazoline-8-carboxamides were evaluated for their ability to antagonize slow-reacting substance of anaphylaxis (SRS-A) induced contractions of guinea pig ilea and to inhibit thromboxane synthase in vitro.The results indicated that those pyridoquinazoline-8-carboxamides bearing a branched-chain alkyl moiety in the 2-position and a four to six atom linear chain between a 3- or 4-substituted pyridine or a 1-substituted imidazole ring and the carboxamide nitrogen atom showed the best combination of potencies in the two assays.Several of these compounds were found to be orally active inhibitors of LTE4-induced bronchoconstriction in the guinea pig and LTE4-induced skin wheal formation in the rat.One of the most potent analogues, 2-(1-methylethyl)-N-(1H-imidazol-1-ylbutyl)-11-oxo-11H-pyridoquinazoline-8-carboxamide (36), was selected for extensive pharmacological investigation.It was found that this compound was not a specific inhibitor of LTE4-induced symptomatology, but exhibited more general activity by inhibiting bronchospasm in guinea pigs induced by LTC4, LTD4, PAF, and histamine and skin wheal formation in rats and guinea pigs induced by LTC4, LTD4, and PAF.In addition, 36 was orally active in the passive cutaneous anaphylaxis assay, suggesting that it also exhibits mediator release inhibitory activity.On the basis of the overall pharmacological profile of 36 and its closely related analogues, it was concluded that these compounds may be useful for the treatment of asthma.
