Synthesis and functional survey of new Tacrine analogs modified with nitroxides or their precursors.

ABSTRACT: A series of new Tacrine analogs modified with nitroxides or pre-nitroxides on 9-amino group via methylene or piperazine spacers were synthesized; the nitroxide or its precursors were incorporated into the Tacrine scaffold. The new compounds were tested for their hydroxyl radical and peroxyl radical scavenging ability, acetylcholinesterase inhibitor activity and protection against A?-induced cytotoxicity. Based on these assays, we conclude that Tacrine analogs connected to five and six-membered nitroxides via piperazine spacers (9b, 9b/HCl and 12) exhibited the best activity, providing direction for further development of additional candidates with dual functionality (anti Alzheimer's and antioxidant).

New tacrine analogs as acetylcholinesterase inhibitors - theoretical study with chemometric analysis.

Project description:Computer simulations constitute the basis of the design and discovery of new drugs. This approach is not only significant with regards to finding new structures, but also for selecting the molecules with the highest probability of being useful in the diagnostic process and treatment of numerous diseases. In our work, we used computational software to analyze 32 new acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors and formulate ADMET predictions. To understand the influence of the structure of our derivatives on binding mode, we docked all structures to the active site of AChE and assigned some pharmacophoric features. Finally, we undertook a chemometric analysis of all the compounds on the basis of FT-IR, which gave us the possibility of performing a fast categorization of the analyzed compounds and design compounds with similar structures.

Synthesis and bioevaluation of new tacrine-cinnamic acid hybrids as cholinesterase inhibitors against Alzheimer's disease.

Project description:Small molecule cholinesterases inhibitor (ChEI) provides an effective therapeutic strategy to treat Alzheimer's disease (AD). Currently, the discovery of new ChEI with multi-target effect is still of great importance. Herein, we report the synthesis, structure-activity relationship study and biological evaluation of a series of tacrine-cinnamic acid hybrids as new ChEIs. All target compounds are evaluated for their in vitro cholinesterase inhibitory activities. The representatives which show potent activity on cholinesterase, are evaluated for the amyloid β-protein self-aggregation inhibition and in vivo assays. The optimal compound 19, 27, and 30 (human AChE IC50 = 10.2 ± 1.2, 16.5 ± 1.7, and 15.3 ± 1.8 nM, respectively) show good performance in ameliorating the scopolamine-induced cognition impairment and preliminary safety in hepatotoxicity evaluation. These compounds deserve further evaluation for the development of new therapeutic agents against AD.

Synthesis of Cyanoenone-Modified Diterpenoid Analogs as Novel Bmi-1-Mediated Antitumor Agents.

Project description:Bmi-1 is overexpressed in colorectal cancer (CRC) and served as a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of CRC. A series of novel cyanoenone-modified diterpenoid analogs was synthesized and investigated for their antiproliferative activity against CRC cells. The results showed that most of these compounds exhibited potent antiproliferative and Bmi-1 inhibitory activity. Among them, the most active compound 33 (SH498) showed more potent antiproliferative activity than the positive control compound PTC-209. These synthetic diterpenoid analogs were less toxic for normal human fibroblasts (HAF) than for CRC cells. Especially 33, its selectivity index (SI) between HAF and tumor cells was 7.3-13.1, which was much better than PTC-209. The polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) complex, transwell migration, colony formation, cancer stem cell proliferation, and apoptosis assays of 33 were performed on CRC cell lines. The in vivo antitumor effect of 33 was also observed in HCT116 tumor-bearing mice.

Synthesis and reduction kinetics of sterically shielded pyrrolidine nitroxides.

Project description:A series of sterically shielded pyrrolidine nitroxides were synthesized, and their reduction by ascorbate (vitamin C) indicate that nitroxide 3, a tetraethyl derivative of 3-carboxy-PROXYL, is reduced at the slowest rate among known nitroxides, i.e., at a 60-fold slower rate than that for 3-carboxy-PROXYL.

Synthesis and Electron Spin Relaxation of Tetracarboxylate Pyrroline Nitroxides.

Project description:We report the design, synthesis, and electron spin relaxation properties of hydrophilic tetracarboxylate ester pyrroline nitroxides 1 and 2, which serve as models in the search for new spin labels for DEER distance measurement at room temperature. The nitroxides are designed to have the methyl groups further away from the N-O spin site to decrease the inequivalent couplings of the unpaired electron to the methyl protons that shorten Tm at T > 70 K in currently used labels. The key step in the synthesis of 1 and 2 is the reaction of the dianion of pyrrole-1,2,5-tricarboxylic acid tert-butyl ester dimethyl ester with electrophiles such as methyl chloroformate and methyl bromoacetate. Structures of 1 and 2 are confirmed by X-ray crystallography. Studies of electron spin relaxation rates in rigid trehalose/sucrose matrices reveal approximately temperature independent values of 1/Tm for 1 and 2 up to about 160 K and modest temperature dependence up to 295 K, demonstrating that increasing the distance between the nitroxide moiety and methyl groups is effective in lengthening Tm at T > 70 K.

Synthesis of Azide-Modified Chondroitin Sulfate Precursors: Substrates for "Click"- Conjugation with Fluorescent Labels and Oligonucleotides.

Project description:Azidopropyl-modified precursors of chondroitin sulfate (CS) tetrasaccharides have been synthesized, which, after facile conversion to final CS structures, may be conjugated with alkyne-modified target compounds by a one-pot "click"-ligation. RP HPLC was used for the monitoring of the key reaction steps (protecting group manipulation and sulfation) and purification of the CS precursors (as partially protected form, bearing the O-Lev, O-benzoyl, and N-trichloroacetyl groups and methyl esters). Subsequent treatments with aqueous NaOH, concentrated ammonia, and acetic anhydride (i.e., global deprotection and acetylation of the galactosamine units) converted the precursors to final CS structures. The azidopropyl group was exposed to a strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC) with a dibenzylcyclooctyne-modified carboxyrhodamine dye to give labeled CSs. Conjugation with a 5'-cyclooctyne-modified oligonucleotide was additionally carried out to show the applicability of the precursors for the synthesis of biomolecular hybrids.

Improved synthesis and biological evaluation of chelator-modified ?-MSH analogs prepared by copper-free click chemistry.

Project description:Radionuclide chelators (DOTA, NOTA) functionalized with a monofluorocyclooctyne group were prepared. These materials reacted rapidly and in high yield with a fully deprotected azide-modified peptide via Cu-free click chemistry under mild reaction conditions (aqueous solution, room temperature). The resulting bioconjugates bind with high affinity and specificity to their cell-surface receptor targets in vitro and appear stable to degradation in mouse serum over 3h of incubation at 37°C.

Synthesis of Degraded Limonoid Analogs as New Antibacterial Scaffolds against Staphylococcus aureus.

Project description:Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) have become serious infections in humans and ruminants. S. aureus strains are showing rapid changes to develop resistance in traditional antibiotic-containing systems. In the continuous fierce fight against the emergent multi-drug resistant bacterial strains, straightforward and scalable synthetic procedures to produce new active molecules are in demand. Analysis of molecular properties points to degraded limonoids as promising candidates. In this article, we report a simple synthetic approach to obtain degraded limonoid analogs as scaffolds for new antibacterial molecules. The minimum inhibitory concentrations against S. aureus were evaluated for the stereoisomer mixtures by the broth microdilution method. Analysis of results showed that the acetylated derivatives were the most active of them all.

Synthesis and evaluation of new iRGD peptide analogs for tumor optical imaging.

Project description:Recently, a disulfide-based cyclic RGD peptide called iRGD, that is, c(CRGDKGPDC), has been reported to interact with both integrin and neuropilin-1 receptors for cellular and deep tissue penetration to improve the imaging sensitivity and therapeutic efficacy. In this study, two new near-infrared fluorescent iRGD conjugates, that is, Ac-Cys(IRDye®800CW)-iRGD (1), and its dual labeling analog DOTA-Cys(IRDye®800CW)-iRGD (2) were synthesized via the specific mercapto-maleimide reaction for tumor imaging. Both 1 and 2 showed significant tumor localization in optical imaging of MDA-MB-435 tumor-bearing mice. The potential of such iRGD compounds in tumor-targeted imaging and drug delivery deserves further exploration.
