Tryptophan metabolism through the kynurenine pathway is considered as a crucial mechanism in immune tolerance. Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) plays a key role in tryptophan catabolism in the immune system and it is also considered as an important therapeutic target for the treatment of cancer and other diseases that are linked with kynurenine pathway. In this study, a series of nitrobenzofurazan derivatives of N′-hydroxybenzimidamides (1) and N′-hydroxy-2-phenylacetimidamides (2) were synthesized and their inhibitory activities against human IDO1 enzyme were tested using in-vitro and cellular enzyme activity assay. The optimization leads to the identification of potent compounds, 1d, 2i and 2k (IC50 = 39-80 nM), which are either competitive or uncompetitive inhibitors of IDO1 enzyme. These compounds also showed IDO1 inhibition potencies in the nanomolar range (IC50 = 50-71 nM) in MDA-MB-231 cells with no/negligible amount of cytotoxicity. The stronger selectivity of the potent compounds for IDO1 enzyme over tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO) enzyme (312-1593-fold) also makes them very attractive for further immunotherapeutic applications.

A number of 1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl-acetic acids and oxazol-4-yl-acetic acids were synthesized and tested for their ability to inhibit aldose reductase (ALR2). The oxadiazole derivatives, 7c, 7f, 7i, and 8h, 8i, proved to be the most active compounds, exhibiting inhibitory levels in the submicromolar range. In this series, the phenyl group turned out to be the preferred substitution pattern, as its lengthening to a benzyl moiety determined a general reduction of the inhibitory potency. The lead compound, 2-[3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,2,4- oxadiazol-5-yl]acetic acid, 7c, showed an excellent in vivo activity, proving to prevent cataract development in severely galactosemic rats when administered as an eye-drop solution in the precorneal region of the animals. Computational studies on the ALR2 inhibitors were performed to rationalize the structure-activity relationships observed and to provide the basis for further structure-guided design of novel ALR2 inhibitors.

An exploratory chemical effort has been undertaken to develop a novel series of compounds as selective CB1 agonists. It is hoped that compounds of this type will have clinical utility in pain control, and cerebral ischaemia following stroke or traumatic head injury. We report here medicinal chemistry studies directed towards the investigation of a series of 1-substituted-indole-3-oxadiazoles as potential CB1 agonists. Crown Copyright
