Identification of novel adenosine A(2A) receptor antagonists by virtual screening.

ABSTRACT: Virtual screening was performed against experimentally enabled homology models of the adenosine A(2A) receptor, identifying a diverse range of ligand efficient antagonists (hit rate 9%). By use of ligand docking and Biophysical Mapping (BPM), hits 1 and 5 were optimized to potent and selective lead molecules (11-13 from 5, pK(I) = 7.5-8.5, 13- to >100-fold selective versus adenosine A(1); 14-16 from 1, pK(I) = 7.9-9.0, 19- to 59-fold selective).

Structure-based discovery of novel chemotypes for adenosine A(2A) receptor antagonists.

Project description:The recent progress in crystallography of G-protein coupled receptors opens an unprecedented venue for structure-based GPCR drug discovery. To test efficiency of the structure-based approach, we performed molecular docking and virtual ligand screening (VLS) of more than 4 million commercially available "drug-like" and ''lead-like'' compounds against the A(2A)AR 2.6 A resolution crystal structure. Out of 56 high ranking compounds tested in A(2A)AR binding assays, 23 showed affinities under 10 microM, 11 of those had sub-microM affinities and two compounds had affinities under 60 nM. The identified hits represent at least 9 different chemical scaffolds and are characterized by very high ligand efficiency (0.3-0.5 kcal/mol per heavy atom). Significant A(2A)AR antagonist activities were confirmed for 10 out of 13 ligands tested in functional assays. High success rate, novelty, and diversity of the chemical scaffolds and strong ligand efficiency of the A(2A)AR antagonists identified in this study suggest practical applicability of receptor-based VLS in GPCR drug discovery.

Adenosine A(2A) Receptor Antagonists and Parkinson's Disease.

Project description:This Review summarizes and updates the work on adenosine A(2A) receptor antagonists for Parkinson's disease from 2006 to the present. There have been numerous publications, patent applications, and press releases within this time frame that highlight new medicinal chemistry approaches to this attractive and promising target to treat Parkinson's disease. The Review is broken down by scaffold type and will discuss the efforts to optimize particular scaffolds for activity, pharmacokinetics, and other drug discovery parameters. The majority of approaches focus on preparing selective A(2A) antagonists, but a few approaches to dual A(2A)/A(1) antagonists will also be highlighted. The in vivo profiles of compounds will be highlighted and discussed to compare activities across different chemical series. A clinical report and update will be given on compounds that have entered clinical trials.

Identification of Novel Antagonists Targeting Cannabinoid Receptor 2 Using a Multi-Step Virtual Screening Strategy.

Project description:The endocannabinoid system plays an essential role in the regulation of analgesia and human immunity, and Cannabinoid Receptor 2 (CB2) has been proved to be an ideal target for the treatment of liver diseases and some cancers. In this study, we identified CB2 antagonists using a three-step "deep learning-pharmacophore-molecular docking" virtual screening approach. From the ChemDiv database (1,178,506 compounds), 15 hits were selected and tested by radioligand binding assays and cAMP functional assays. A total of 7 out of the 15 hits were found to exhibit binding affinities in the radioligand binding assays against CB2 receptor, with a pKi of 5.15-6.66, among which five compounds showed antagonistic activities with pIC50 of 5.25-6.93 in the cAMP functional assays. Among these hits, Compound 8 with the 4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one scaffold showed the best binding affinity and antagonistic activity with a pKi of 6.66 and pIC50 of 6.93, respectively. The new scaffold could serve as a lead for further development of CB2 drugs. Additionally, we hope that the model in this study could be further utilized to identify more novel CB2 receptor antagonists, and the developed approach could also be used to design potent ligands for other therapeutic targets.

IDENTIFICATION OF VDR ANTAGONISTS AMONG NUCLEAR RECEPTOR LIGANDS USING VIRTUAL SCREENING.

Project description:Herein, we described the development of two virtual screens to identify new vitamin D receptor (VDR) antagonists among nuclear receptor (NR) ligands. Therefore, a database of 14330 nuclear receptor ligands and their NR affinities was assembled using the online available "Binding Database". Two different virtual screens were carried out in conjunction with a reported VDR crystal structure applying a stringent and less stringent pharmacophore model to filter docked NR ligand conformations. The pharmacophore models were based on the spatial orientation of the hydroxyl functionalities of VDR's natural ligands 1,25(OH2)D3 and 25(OH2)D3. The first virtual screen identified 32 NR ligands with a calculate free energy of VDR binding of more than -6.0 kJ/mol. All but nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) are VDR ligands, which inhibited the interaction between VDR and coactivator peptide SRC2-3 with an IC50 value of 15.8 µM. The second screen identified 162 NR ligands with a calculate free energy of VDR binding of more than -6.0 kJ/mol. More than half of these ligands were developed to bind VDR followed by ERα/β ligands (26%), TRα/β ligands (7%) and LxRα/β ligands (7%). The binding between VDR and ERα ligand H6036 as well as TRα/β ligand triiodothyronine and a homoserine analog thereof was confirmed by fluorescence polarization.

Virtual screening leads to the discovery of novel non-nucleotide P2Y? receptor antagonists.

Project description:The P2Y(1) receptor (P2Y(1)R) is a G protein-coupled receptor naturally activated by extracellular ADP. Its stimulation is an essential requirement of ADP-induced platelet aggregation, thus making antagonists highly sought compounds for the development of antithrombotic agents. Here, through a virtual screening campaign based on a pharmacophoric representation of the common characteristics of known P2Y(1)R ligands and the putative shape and size of the receptor binding pocket, we have identified novel antagonist hits of ?M affinity derived from a N,N'-bis-arylurea chemotype. Unlike the vast majority of known P2Y(1)R antagonists, these drug-like compounds do not have a nucleotidic scaffold or highly negatively charged phosphate groups. Hence, our compounds may provide a direction for the development of receptor probes with altered physicochemical properties.

Adenosine 2A Receptor Antagonists for the Treatment of Motor Symptoms in Parkinson's Disease.

Project description:Background:Treatment of motor fluctuations in Parkinson's disease (PD) remains an unmet challenge. Adenosine 2A (A2A) receptors are located along the indirect pathway and represent a potential target to enhance l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (l-DOPA) antiparkinsonian action. Methods:This article summarizes the preclinical and clinical literature on A2A antagonists in PD, with a specific focus on their effect on off time, on time, and dyskinesia. Findings:Several A2A receptor antagonists have been tested in preclinical studies and clinical trials. In preclinical studies, A2A antagonists enhanced l-DOPA antiparkinsonian action without exacerbating dyskinesia, but A2A antagonists were generally administered in combination with a subthreshold dose of l-DOPA, which is different to the paradigms used in clinical trials, where A2A antagonists were usually added to an optimal antiparkinsonian regimen. In clinical settings, A2A antagonists generally reduced duration of off time, by as much as 25% in some studies. The effect of on time duration is less clear, and in a few studies an exacerbation of dyskinesia was reported. Two A2A antagonists have been tested in phase III settings: istradefylline and preladenant. Istradefylline was effective in two phase III trials, but ineffective in another; the drug has been commercially available in Japan since 2013. In contrast, preladenant was ineffective in a phase III trial and the drug was discontinued. A phase III study with tozadenant will begin in 2015; the drug was effective at reducing off time in a phase IIb study. Other A2A antagonists are in development at the preclinical and early clinical levels.

A<sub>2A</sub> Adenosine Receptor Antagonists: Are Triazolotriazine and Purine Scaffolds Interchangeable?

Project description:The A2A adenosine receptor (A2AAR) is one of the four subtypes activated by nucleoside adenosine, and the molecules able to selectively counteract its action are attractive tools for neurodegenerative disorders. In order to find novel A2AAR ligands, two series of compounds based on purine and triazolotriazine scaffolds were synthesized and tested at ARs. Compound 13 was also tested in an in vitro model of neuroinflammation. Some compounds were found to possess high affinity for A2AAR, and it was observed that compound 13 exerted anti-inflammatory properties in microglial cells. Molecular modeling studies results were in good agreement with the binding affinity data and underlined that triazolotriazine and purine scaffolds are interchangeable only when 5- and 2-positions of the triazolotriazine moiety (corresponding to the purine 2- and 8-positions) are substituted.

Adenosine A<sub>2A</sub> receptor antagonists: from caffeine to selective non-xanthines.

Project description:A long evolution of knowledge of the psychostimulant caffeine led in the 1960s to another purine natural product, adenosine and its A2A receptor. Adenosine is a short-lived autocrine/paracrine mediator that acts pharmacologically at four different adenosine receptors in a manner opposite to the pan-antagonist caffeine and serves as an endogenous allostatic regulator. Although detrimental in the developing brain, caffeine appears to be cerebroprotective in aging. Moderate caffeine consumption in adults, except in pregnancy, may also provide benefit in pain, diabetes, and kidney and liver disorders. Inhibition of A2A receptors is one of caffeine's principal effects and we now understand this interaction at the atomic level. The A2A receptor has become a prototypical example of utilizing high-resolution structures of GPCRs for the rational design of chemically diverse drug molecules. The previous focus on discovery of selective A2A receptor antagonists for neurodegenerative diseases has expanded to include immunotherapy for cancer, and clinical trials have ensued.

Adenosine A(2A) Receptor Binding Profile of Two Antagonists, ST1535 and KW6002: Consideration on the Presence of Atypical Adenosine A(2A) Binding Sites.

Project description:Adenosine A(2A) receptors seem to exist in typical (more in striatum) and atypical (more in hippocampus and cortex) subtypes. In the present study, we investigated the affinity of two adenosine A(2A) receptor antagonists, ST1535 [2 butyl -9-methyl-8-(2H-1,2,3-triazol 2-yl)-9H-purin-6-xylamine] and KW6002 [(E)-1,3-diethyl-8-(3,4-dimethoxystyryl)-7-methyl-3,7-dihydro-1H-purine-2,6,dione] to the "typical" and "atypical" A(2A) binding sites. Affinity was determined by radioligand competition experiments in membranes from rat striatum and hippocampus. Displacement of the adenosine analog [(3)H]CGS21680 [2-p-(2-carboxyethyl)phenethyl-amino-5'-N-ethylcarbox-amidoadenosine] was evaluated in the absence or in the presence of either CSC [8-(3-chlorostyryl)-caffeine], an adenosine A(2A) antagonist that pharmacologically isolates atypical binding sites, or DPCPX (8-cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine), an adenosine A(1) receptor antagonist that pharmacologically isolates typical binding site. ZM241385 [84-(2-[7-amino-2-(2-furyl) [1,2,4]-triazol[2,3-a][1,3,5]triazin-5-yl amino]ethyl) phenol)] and SCH58261 [(5-amino-7-(?-phenylethyl)-2-(8-furyl)pyrazolo(4,3-e)-1,2,4-triazolo(1,5-c) pyrimidine], two other adenosine A(2A) receptor antagonists, which were reported to differently bind to atypical and typical A(2A) receptors, were used as reference compounds. ST1535, KW6002, ZM241385 and SCH58261 displaced [(3)H]CGS21680 with higher affinity in striatum than in hippocampus. In hippocampus, no typical adenosine A(2A) binding was detected, and ST1535 was the only compound that occupied atypical A(2A) adenosine receptors. Present data are explained in terms of heteromeric association among adenosine A(2A), A(2B) and A(1) receptors, rather than with the presence of atypical A(2A) receptor subtype.

Comparative Analysis of Virtual Screening Approaches in the Search for Novel EphA2 Receptor Antagonists.

Project description:The EphA2 receptor and its ephrin-A1 ligand form a key cell communication system, which has been found overexpressed in many cancer types and involved in tumor growth. Recent medicinal chemistry efforts have identified bile acid derivatives as low micromolar binders of the EphA2 receptor. However, these compounds suffer from poor physicochemical properties, hampering their use in vivo. The identification of compounds able to disrupt the EphA2-ephrin-A1 complex lacking the bile acid scaffold may lead to new pharmacological tools suitable for in vivo studies. To identify the most promising virtual screening (VS) protocol aimed at finding novel EphA2 antagonists, we investigated the ability of both ligand-based and structure-based approaches to retrieve known EphA2 antagonists from libraries of decoys with similar molecular properties. While ligand-based VSs were conducted using UniPR129 and ephrin-A1 ligand as reference structures, structure-based VSs were performed with Glide, using the X-ray structure of the EphA2 receptor/ephrin-A1 complex. A comparison of enrichment factors showed that ligand-based approaches outperformed the structure-based ones, suggesting ligand-based methods using the G-H loop of ephrin-A1 ligand as template as the most promising protocols to search for novel EphA2 antagonists.
