In academia, compound recycling represents an alternative drug discovery strategy to identify new pharmaceutical targets from a library of chemical compounds available in house. Herein we report the application of a rational target-based drug-repurposing approach to find diverse applications for our in-house collection of compounds. The carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) metalloenzyme superfamily was identified as a potential target of our compounds. The combination of a thoroughly validated docking screening protocol, together with in vitro assays against various CA families and isoforms, allowed us to identify two unprecedented chemotypes as CA inhibitors. The identified compounds have the capacity to preferentially bind pathogenic (bacterial/protozoan) CAs over human isoforms and represent excellent hits for further optimization in hit-to-lead campaigns.

We report here the design, synthesis, and pharmacological properties of a series of compounds related to tranylcypromine (9), which itself was discovered as a lead compound in a high-throughput screening campaign. Starting from 9, which shows modest activity as a 5-HT2C agonist, a series of 1-aminomethyl-2- phenylcyclopropanes was investigated as 5-HT2C agonists through iterative structural modifications. Key pharmacophore feature of this new class of ligands is a 2-aminomethyl-trans-cyclopropyl side chain attached to a substituted be zene ring. Among the tested compounds, several were potent and efficacious 5-HT2C receptor agonists with selectivity over both 5-HT2A and 5-HT2B receptors in functional assays. The most promising compound is 37, with 120- and 14-fold selectivity over 5-HT 2A and 5-HT2B, respectively (EC50) 585, 65, and 4.8 nM at the 2A, 2B, and 2C subtypes, respectively). In animal studies, compound 37 (10-60 mg/kg) decreased immobility time in the mouse forced swim test.

Page/Page column 37; 125-126, (2008/06/13)
This invention relates to compounds which modulate receptors of the 5-HT2 family of receptors, and particularly to compounds which modulate 5-HT2C receptors. Compounds of the invention include agonists and selective agonists for the 5-HT2C receptor. Compounds of the invention include selective agonists for the 5-HT2C receptor which exhibit significantly less or no agonist activity on the 5-HT2A receptor and/or the 5-HT2B receptor. Compounds of this invention are those of Formula I and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, esters and solvates (including hydrates) wherein variables are defined in the specification hereof.
