Ortho-carbaborane derivatives of indomethacin as cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 selective inhibitors.

ABSTRACT: A series of novel indomethacin analogues with carbaboranes as three-dimensional substitutes for the chlorophenyl ring have been prepared. Their cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibition and enzyme selectivity has been tested and compared to the corresponding adamantyl analogues. Surprisingly, only the ortho-carbaborane derivatives were active compounds. Preliminary biological studies gave an interesting insight into the validity of employing carbaboranes as pharmacophores.

Synthesis, Anti-Inflammatory and Anti- Nociceptive Activities and Cytotoxic Effect of Novel Thiazolidin-4-ones Derivatives as Selective Cyclooxygenase (COX-2) Inhibitors.

Project description:OBJECTIVE(S):Nowadays, COX - 2 inhibitors such as valdecoxib are removed from the market because of their cardiovascular toxicity and their potential to increase the risk of strokes. In response to this, medicinal chemists have attempted to synthesize new classes of COX-2 Inhibitors. MATERIALS AND METHODS:In this study, three novel analogues of thiazolidin-4-ones derivatives 2a-c were synthesized. The ability of these compounds to inhibit ovine COX-1 and COX-2 (0.2- 0.8 µM) was determined using a colorimetric method. The cytotoxic effect of the synthesized compounds (25-100 M) was also investigated by measuring their cytotoxicity against Caco-2 and MCF-7 cell lines using MTT assay. Cell apoptosis was determined by ?ow cytometry. Writhing test (7.5-75 mg/kg) was used to examine the antinociceptive effects in mice. The effect of the analogues against acute inflammation (7.5-75 mg/kg) was also studied using xylene-induced ear edema test in mice. RESULTS:The synthesized compounds showed a weak capacity to inhibit the proliferation of Caco-2 and MCF-7 cell lines. The COX-2 inhibition potency and selectivity index for test compounds 2a-b were as follows; celecoxib > 2b > 2a. On the other hand, all three analogues exhibited strong antinociceptive activity against acetic acid-induced writhing. The anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive effects of the analogues were markedly more than positive control, celecoxib. CONCLUSION:This study demonstrates that the antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activity profiles exhibited by the novel synthesized compounds are independent from their COX-2 inhibitory potencies. The found antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory effects can be caused by interaction with other target; independent from COX-2. Accordingly, the compounds 2a-c could serve as lead compounds to develop novel anti-inflammation and antinociceptive drugs.

Bioactivity of dihydropyrimidinone derivatives as inhibitors of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2): an <i>in silico</i> approach.

Project description:Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is an enzyme involved in inflammation. The overexpression of COX-2 causes chronic inflammation, which can be prevented by COX-2 inhibitors. Generally, COX-2 inhibitors possess a carboxyl group and an aromatic ring in their molecular structure. These moieties are involved in the interaction with the active site of COX-2, thus playing a pivotal role in the inhibitory activity. Regarding the requisite molecular structure of COX-2 inhibitors, derivatives of dihydropyrimidinone (DHPM) are ideal candidates to be explored as COX-2 inhibitors, due to the ease of synthesis and their versatility to be transformed chemically. In this study, we prepared a novel small library consisting of 288 designed DHPM derivatives by varying the constituent components. The selection criteria of potential candidates for the COX-2 inhibitor of the data bank involve in silico studies via molecular docking investigations, prediction of ADMET and druglikeness, as well as molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Molecular docking served as the initial step of selection, based on the comparison of grid score, docking pose, and interactions with those of lumiracoxib (LUR) as the original ligand of COX-2. The next criteria of selection were scores obtained from the ADMET and druglikeness by comparing the designed candidates with COX-2 inhibitors that were already marketed. Compound RDUE2 and SDT29 were the most potential candidates, which were further analyzed using the MD simulation. The results of the MD simulation indicated that RDUE2 and SDT29 interacted stably with amino acid residues on the active site of COX-2. The estimation of binding free energy indicated that SDT29 exhibited an inhibitory activity comparable to that of LUR, whereas RDUE2 showed a lower inhibitory activity than that of SDT29 and LUR.

Spiroindolone analogues bearing benzofuran moiety as a selective cyclooxygenase COX-1 with TNF-? and IL-6 inhibitors.

Project description:To design and discover a new compound can used as a COX with TNF-? and IL-6 inhibitors is highly challenge. A series of spiroindolone-bearing benzofuran moieties were resynthesized from the chalcone-based benzo[b]furan with substituted isatin, and amino acids. The requisite spiroindolone analogues were tested for their potential inhibitory activities against lipid metabolizing enzymes such as cyclooxygenase COX-1, COX-2, and the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor TNF-?. Among the tested compounds, 5a, 5c, 5h, 5i, 5l, and 5p exhibited COX-1 inhibitor selectively with percent of inhibition 40.81-83.4% and IC50 values ranging from 20.42?µM to 38.24?µM. In addition, all the synthesized target compounds possessed lipopolysaccharide-induced TNF-?, and IL-6 expression with a varying degree of COX-1 inhibition. Compounds 5d, 5e, 5f, 5g, and 5k markedly inhibited TNF-?, and IL-6 release in WI-38 fibroblast cells. Molecular docking of the most effective and highly selective compounds were investigated and shown important binding mechanisms which could affect pro-inflammatory enzymes and cytokines via the inhibition of COX-1, COX-2, IL-6, and TNF-?.

Synthesis of Deuterated Benzopyran Derivatives as Selective COX-2 Inhibitors with Improved Pharmacokinetic Properties.

Project description:We designed a series of specifically deuterated benzopyran analogues as new COX-2 inhibitors with the aim of improving their pharmacokinetic properties. As expected, the deuterated compounds retained potency and selectivity for COX-2. The new molecules possess improved pharmacokinetic profiles in rats compared to their nondeuterated congeners. Most importantly, the new compounds showed pharmacodynamic efficacy in several murine models of inflammation and pain. The benzopyran derivatives were separated into their enantiomers, and the activity was found to reside with the S-isomers. To streamline the synthesis of the desired S-isomers, an organocatalytic asymmetric domino oxa-Michael/aldol condensation reaction was developed for their preparation.

Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of new 5,5-diarylhydantoin derivatives as selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors.

Project description:A new group of 5,5-diarylhydantoin derivatives bearing a methylsulfonyl COX-2 pharmacophore at the para position of the C-5 phenyl ring were designed and synthesized as selective COX-2 inhibitors. In vitro COX-1/COX-2 inhibition structure-activity relationships identified 5-[4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl]-5-phenyl-hydantoin (4) as a highly potent and selective COX-2 inhibitor (COX-2 IC(50) = 0.077 μM; selectivity index > 1298). It was more selective than the reference drug celecoxib (COX-2 IC(50) = 0.060 μM; selectivity index = 405). A molecular modeling study where 4 was docked in the binding site of COX-2 indicated that the p-MeSO(2) COX-2 pharmacophore group on the C-5 phenyl ring is oriented in the vicinity of the COX-2 secondary pocket. The results of this study showed that the type of substituent on the N-3 hydantoin ring substituent is important for COX-2 inhibitory activity.

The 2'-Trifluoromethyl Analogue of Indomethacin Is a Potent and Selective COX-2 Inhibitor.

Project description:Indomethacin is a potent, time-dependent, nonselective inhibitor of the cyclooxygenase enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2). Deletion of the 2'-methyl group of indomethacin produces a weak, reversible COX inhibitor, leading us to explore functionality at that position. Here, we report that substitution of the 2'-methyl group of indomethacin with trifluoromethyl produces CF3-indomethacin, a tight-binding inhibitor with kinetic properties similar to those of indomethacin and unexpected COX-2 selectivity (IC50 mCOX-2 = 267 nM; IC50 oCOX-1 > 100 μM). Studies with site-directed mutants reveal that COX-2 selectivity results from insertion of the CF3 group into a small hydrophobic pocket formed by Ala-527, Val-349, Ser-530, and Leu-531 and projection of the methoxy group toward a side pocket bordered by Val-523. CF3-indomethacin inhibited COX-2 activity in human head and neck squamous cell carcinoma cells and exhibited in vivo anti-inflammatory activity in the carrageenan-induced rat paw edema model with similar potency to that of indomethacin.

Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of 5-oxo-1,4,5,6,7,8 hexahydroquinoline derivatives as selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors.

Project description:A group of regioisomeric 5-oxo-1,4,5,6,7,8 hexahydroquinoline derivatives possessing a COX-2 SO2Me pharmacophore at the para position of the C-2 or C-4 phenyl ring, in conjunction with a C-4 or C-2 phenyl (4-H) or substituted-phenyl ring (4-F,4-Cl,4-Br,4-OMe,4-Me, 4-NO2), were designed for evaluation as selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors. These target 5-oxo-1,4,5,6,7,8 hexahydroquinolines were synthesized via a Hansch condensation reaction. In vitro COX-1/COX-2 isozyme inhibition structure-activity studies identified 7,8-dihydro- 7,7-dimethyl-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4-(4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl)quinolin-5(1H,4H,6H)- one (9c) as a potent COX-2 inhibitor (IC50 = 0.17 M) with a high COX-2 selectivity index (S.I. = 97.6) comparable to the reference drug celecoxib (COX-2 IC50 = 0.05 mM; COX-2 S.I= 405). A molecular modeling study where 9c was docked in active site of COX-2 showed that the p-SO2Me substituent on the C-2 phenyl ring is inserted into the secondary COX-2 binding site. The structure activity data acquired indicate that the position of the COX-2 SO2Me pharmacophore and type of substituent are important for COX-2 inhibitory activity.

Novel Group of Imidazole Derivatives as Atypical Selective Cyclooxygenase-2 Inhibitors: Design, Synthesis and Biological Evaluation.

Project description:In this study, a new series of 5-substituted 1-benzyl-2-(methylsulfonyl)-1-H-imidazole with atypical structure-activity relationship was designed, synthesized, and biological evaluated as selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors. Docking studies revealed that although the pharmacophoric substitute of the compound 5b, methylsulfonyl group, has been directly attached to the central ring, it is in the same direction of the sulfonamide group of Celecoxib, a known selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor. Therefore effective hydrogen binding with Arg513 is established. Also, additional hydrogen binding could form between NH of anilino moiety of the 5b and Arg120. All of the compounds had selective inhibitory activity against cyclooxygenase-2 in micromolar concentrations comparable with the reference, Celecoxibe. Finally, compound 5b with the selectivity index 115 and IC50 of 0.71 µM against cyclooxygenase-2 was the most potent one.

Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors: future therapeutic strategies for epilepsy management.

Project description:Epilepsy, a common multifactorial neurological disease, affects about 69 million people worldwide constituting nearly 1% of the world population. Despite decades of extensive research on understanding its underlying mechanism and developing the pharmacological treatment, very little is known about the biological alterations leading to epileptogenesis. Due to this gap, the currently available antiepileptic drug therapy is symptomatic in nature and is ineffective in 30% of the cases. Mounting evidences revealed the pathophysiological role of neuroinflammation in epilepsy which has shifted the focus of epilepsy researchers towards the development of neuroinflammation-targeted therapeutics for epilepsy management. Markedly increased expression of key inflammatory mediators in the brain and blood-brain barrier may affect neuronal function and excitability and thus may increase seizure susceptibility in preclinical and clinical settings. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), an enzyme synthesizing the proinflammatory mediators, prostaglandins, has widely been reported to be induced during seizures and is considered to be a potential neurotherapeutic target for epilepsy management. However, the efficacy of such therapy involving COX-2 inhibition depends on various factors viz., therapeutic dose, time of administration, treatment duration, and selectivity of COX-2 inhibitors. This article reviews the preclinical and clinical evidences supporting the role of COX-2 in seizure-associated neuroinflammation in epilepsy and the potential clinical use of COX-2 inhibitors as a future strategy for epilepsy treatment.

Binding Energy Calculation of Patchouli Alcohol Isomer Cyclooxygenase Complexes Suggested as COX-1/COX-2 Selective Inhibitor.

Project description:To understand the structural features that dictate the selectivity of the two isoforms of the prostaglandin H2 synthase (PGHS/COX), the three-dimensional (3D) structure of COX-1/COX-2 was assessed by means of binding energy calculation of virtual molecular dynamic with using ligand alpha-Patchouli alcohol isomers. Molecular interaction studies with COX-1 and COX-2 were done using the molecular docking tools by Hex 8.0. Interactions were further visualized by using Discovery Studio Client 3.5 software tool. The binding energy of molecular interaction was calculated by AMBER12 and Virtual Molecular Dynamic 1.9.1 software. The analysis of the alpha-Patchouli alcohol isomer compounds showed that all alpha-Patchouli alcohol isomers were suggested as inhibitor of COX-1 and COX-2. Collectively, the scoring binding energy calculation (with PBSA Model Solvent) of alpha-Patchouli alcohol isomer compounds (CID442384, CID6432585, CID3080622, CID10955174, and CID56928117) was suggested as candidate for a selective COX-1 inhibitor and CID521903 as nonselective COX-1/COX-2.
