Crystal structures of ligand-bound G-protein-coupled receptors provide tangible templates for rationally designing molecular probes. Herein, we report the structure-based design, chemical synthesis, and biological investigations of bivalent ligands targeting putative mu opioid receptor C-C motif chemokine ligand 5 (MOR-CCR5) heterodimers. The bivalent ligand VZMC013 possessed nanomolar level binding affinities for both the MOR and CCR5, inhibited CCL5-stimulated calcium mobilization, and remarkably improved anti-HIV-1BaL activity over previously reported bivalent ligands. VZMC013 inhibited viral infection in TZM-bl cells coexpressing CCR5 and MOR to a greater degree than cells expressing CCR5 alone. Furthermore, VZMC013 blocked human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 entry in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) cells in a concentration-dependent manner and inhibited opioid-accelerated HIV-1 entry more effectively in phytohemagglutinin-stimulated PBMC cells than in the absence of opioids. A three-dimensional molecular model of VZMC013 binding to the MOR-CCR5 heterodimer complex is constructed to elucidate its mechanism of action. VZMC013 is a potent chemical probe targeting MOR-CCR5 heterodimers and may serve as a pharmacological agent to inhibit opioid-exacerbated HIV-1 entry.

A series of novel 3β-aminotropane derivatives containing a 2-naphthalene or a 2-quinoline moiety was synthesised and evaluated for their affinity for 5-HT1A, 5-HT2Aand D2receptors. Their affinity for the receptors was in the nanomolar to micromolar range. p-Substitution (6c, 6f, 6i, 6l, 6o), as well as substitution with chlorine atoms (6g, 6h, 6i), led to a significant increase in binding affinity for D2receptors with compounds 6f (Ki?=?0.6?nM), 6c and 6i (Ki?=?0.4?nM), having the highest binding affinities. m-Substituted derivatives were the most promising ligands in terms of 5-HT2Areceptor binding affinity whereas 2-quinoline derivatives (10a, 10b) displayed the highest affinity for 5-HT1AR and were the most selective ligands with Ki?=?62.7?nM and Ki?=?30.5?nM, respectively. Finally, the selected ligands 6b, 6d, 6e, 6g, 6h, 6k, 6n and 6o, with triple binding activity for the D2, 5-HT1Aand 5-HT2Areceptors, were subjected to in vivo tests, such as those for induced hypothermia, climbing behaviour and the head twitch response, in order to determine their pharmacological profile. The tested ligands presented neither agonist nor antagonist properties for the 5-HT1Areceptors in the induced hypothermia and lower lip retraction (LLR) tests. All tested compounds displayed antagonistic activity against 5-HT2A, with 6n and 6o being the most active. Four (6b, 6k, 6n and 6o) out of eight tested compounds could be classified as D2antagonists. Additionally, evaluation of metabolic stability was performed for selected ligands, and introduction of halogen atoms into the benzene ring of 6h, 6k, 6n and 6o improved their metabolic stability. The project resulted in the selection of the lead compounds 6n and 6o, which had antipsychotic profiles, combining dopamine D2-receptor and 5-HT2Aantagonism and metabolic stability.

In this paper, we report the synthesis and cell-based anti-prion activity of quinacrine analogs derived by replacing the basic alkyl side chain of quinacrine with 4-(4-methylpiperazin-I-yl)phenyl, (1-benzylpiperidin-4-yl) and their structural variants. Several promising analogs were found that have a more favorable anti-prion profile than quinacrine in terms of potency and activity across different prion-infected murine cell models. They also exhibited greater binding affinities for a human prion protein fragment (hPrP121-231) than quinacrine, and had permeabilities on the PAMPA-BBB assay that fall within the range of CNS permeant candidates. When evaluated on bidirectional assays on a Pgp overexpressing cell line, one analog was less susceptible to Pgp efflux activity compared to quinacrine. Taken together, the results point to an important role for the substituted 9-amino side chain attached to the acridine, tetrahydroacridine and quinoline scaffolds. The nature of this side chain influenced cell-based potency, PAMPA permeability and binding affinity to hPrP121-231.
