Propyphenazone-based analogues as prodrugs and selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors.

ABSTRACT: Improving the gastrointestinal safety profile of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is an important goal. Herein, we report two strategies, using the nonacidic propyphenazone structure, with potential to overcome the side effects of NSAIDs. Propyphenazone was employed to temporarily mask the free acid group of the widely used NSAIDs ibuprofen, diclofenac, and ketoprofen to develop three mutual prodrugs hypothesized to have minimal GI irritation. The three prodrugs exhibit in vivo anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities with improved potency over each parent drug when compared to a nonhydrolyzable control betahistine-propyphenazone (BET-MP). Additionally, ANT-MP formed by the irreversible coupling of propyphenazone and 4-aminoantipyrine, displayed exceptional COXII selectivity (COXII IC50 of 0.97 ± 0.04 ?M, compared to no observed inhibition of COXI at 160 ?M). Inhibition of COXII suppresses inflammatory diseases without affecting COXI-mediated GI tract events. ANT-MP exhibited maximal analgesic effect when tested in vivo in an abdominal writhing assay (100% protection) and its anti-inflammatory activity showed a peak at 2 h in a carrageenan-induced paw edema model. Its unique selectivity toward the COXII enzyme was investigated using molecular modeling techniques.

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

Project description:To design and discover a new compound can used as a COX with TNF-α 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-α. 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-α, and IL-6 expression with a varying degree of COX-1 inhibition. Compounds 5d, 5e, 5f, 5g, and 5k markedly inhibited TNF-α, 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-α.

Harmaline Analogs as Substrate-Selective Cyclooxygenase-2 Inhibitors.

Project description:We report the design, synthesis, and evaluation of a series of harmaline analogs as selective inhibitors of 2-arachidonylglycerol (2-AG) oxygenation over arachidonic acid (AA) oxygenation by purified cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). A fused tricyclic harmaline analog containing a CH3O substituent at C-6 and a CH3 group at the C-1 position of 4,9-dihydro-3H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole (compound 3) was the best substrate-selective COX-2 inhibitor of those evaluated, exhibiting a 2AG-selective COX-2 inhibitory IC50 of 0.022 μM as compared to >1 μM for AA. The 2.66 Å resolution crystal complex of COX-2 with compound 3 revealed that this series of tricyclic indoles binds in the cyclooxygenase channel by flipping the side chain of L531 toward the dimer interface. This novel tricyclic indole series provides the foundation for the development of promising substrate-selective molecules capable of increasing endocannabinoid (EC) levels in the brain to offer new treatments for a variety of diseases, from pain and inflammation to stress and anxiety disorders.

Conjugation of cisplatin analogues and cyclooxygenase inhibitors to overcome cisplatin resistance.

Project description:Cyclooxygenase (COX) is an enzyme involved in tumorigenesis and is associated with tumor cell resistance against platinum-based antitumor drugs. Cisplatin analogues were conjugated with COX inhibitors (indomethacin, ibuprofen) to study the synergistic effects that were previously observed in combination treatments. The conjugates ensure concerted transport of both drugs into cells, and subsequent intracellular cleavage enables a dual-action mode. Whereas the platinum(II) complexes showed cytotoxicities similar to those of cisplatin, the platinum(IV) conjugates revealed highly increased cytotoxic activities and were able to completely overcome cisplatin-related resistance. Although some of the complexes are potent COX inhibitors, the conjugates appear to execute their cytotoxic action via COX-independent mechanisms. Instead, the increased lipophilicity and kinetic inertness of the conjugates seem to facilitate cellular accumulation of the platinum drugs and thus improve the efficacy of the antitumor agents. These conjugates are important tools for the elucidation of the direct influence of COX inhibitors on platinum-based anticancer drugs in tumor cells.

Cyclooxygenase-1-selective inhibitors based on the (E)-2'-des-methyl-sulindac sulfide scaffold.

Project description:Prostaglandins (PGs) are powerful lipid mediators in many physiological and pathophysiological responses. They are produced by oxidation of arachidonic acid (AA) by cyclooxygenases (COX-1 and COX-2) followed by metabolism of endoperoxide intermediates by terminal PG synthases. PG biosynthesis is inhibited by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Specific inhibition of COX-2 has been extensively investigated, but relatively few COX-1-selective inhibitors have been described. Recent reports of a possible contribution of COX-1 in analgesia, neuroinflammation, or carcinogenesis suggest that COX-1 is a potential therapeutic target. We designed, synthesized, and evaluated a series of (E)-2'-des-methyl-sulindac sulfide (E-DMSS) analogues for inhibition of COX-1. Several potent and selective inhibitors were discovered, and the most promising compounds were active against COX-1 in intact ovarian carcinoma cells (OVCAR-3). The compounds inhibited tumor cell proliferation but only at concentrations >100-fold higher than the concentrations that inhibit COX-1 activity. E-DMSS analogues may be useful probes of COX-1 biology in vivo and promising leads for COX-1-targeted therapeutic agents.

Curcumin-based pyrazoline analogues as selective inhibitors of human monoamine oxidase A.

Project description:A series of 2-methoxy-4-(5-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)phenol (pyrazoline) derivatives (2-6) have been synthesized and tested for human monoamine oxidase (hMAO) inhibitory activity. The most active derivative (2) behaved as a competitive hMAO-A inhibitor, with an inhibition constant value of 0.08 μM and a strong hMAO-A selectivity (Ki(hMAO-B)/Ki(hMAO-A) > 1751). In addition, 2 exhibited little to no cytotoxic effects up to a 25 μM concentration and provided the best blood-brain barrier permeability among the derivatives synthesized. Molecular dynamics simulations revealed that a chlorine substituent at the para-position of the phenyl ring in 2 enabled a π-π stacking interaction with Tyr407 and Tyr444 that resulted in the formation of an "aromatic sandwich" structure. Consequently, this tight-binding aromatic cage culminated in a dramatically reduced active site volume that is believed to be the origin of the observed selectivity between the hMAO-A and hMAO-B isozymes. Removal of the chlorine from 2 disrupted the favorable intermolecular interactions and resulted in a selectivity change towards hMAO-B.

Defects in mouse nephrogenesis induced by selective and non-selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors.

Project description:Background and purposeDeletion of the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) gene causes impairment of kidney development, but the effect of selective inhibitors of COX-2 (coxibs) or the non-selective inhibitors of COX (the classical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs; NSAIDs) on kidney development was less well described.Experimental approachWe assessed the effects of equipotent analgesic doses of celecoxib, rofecoxib, valdecoxib, etoricoxib and lumiracoxib and of the NSAIDs, diclofenac and naproxen, on postpartum kidney development in mice, from postnatal day 1 (P1) to P21.Key resultsAll the COX inhibitors, at the doses used, blocked COX-2 activity by more than 80% as assayed by PGE(2) synthesis in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated mouse blood samples. Rofecoxib, etoricoxib and lumiracoxib exerted the most marked impairment of postpartum kidney development, demonstrated by attenuation of kidney growth, reduction in size of glomeruli, increase in immature superficial glomeruli, thinning of subcapsular cortical mass and reduction in size of juxtamedullary glomeruli. These defects were less severe than those in kidneys from COX-2(-/-) mice. Administration of diclofenac and naproxen revealed renal defects similar to those after coxib treatment, but both NSAIDs induced greater arrest of immature superficial glomeruli in the outer cortex and increased the number of undifferentiated proliferating cell nuclear antigen-positive cells. Treatment with celecoxib or valdecoxib caused only minimal changes in renal morphology.Conclusions and implicationsClassical NSAIDs cause similar or even stronger nephrodysgenesis than the coxibs. Also, the ranking of coxibs regarding adverse effects on renal development, using equi-analgesic doses, is rofecoxib = etoricoxib = lumiracoxib > valdecoxib > celecoxib.

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

Project description: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.

Cyclooxygenase-Inhibiting Platinum(IV) Prodrugs with Potent Anticancer Activity.

Project description:Platinum(IV) prodrugs of the [Pt(PL)(AL)(COXi)(OH)]2+ type scaffold (where PL is 1,10-phenanthroline or 5,6-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline, AL is 1S,2S-diaminocyclohexane, and COXi is a COX inhibitor, either indomethacin or aspirin) were synthesised and characterised, and their biological activity was explored. MTT assays showed that these complexes exhibit outstanding activity against a range of cancer cell lines, and nanomolar activities were observed. The most potent complex, 4, exhibited a GI50 of 3 nM in the Du145 prostate cancer cell line and was observed to display a 1614-fold increased activity against the HT29 colon cancer cell line relative to cisplatin. ICP-MS studies showed a linear correlation between increased cellular accumulation of the complexes and increased cytotoxicity, while an enzyme immunoassay showed that 1 and 2 inhibited COX-2 at 14 and 1.4 µM, respectively, which is comparable to the inhibition exhibited by indomethacin. These results suggest that while the cytotoxicity of prodrugs 1-4 was influenced by cellular uptake, it was not entirely dependent on either COX inhibition or lipophilicity.

Differential effects of selective and non-selective cyclooxygenase inhibitors on fecal microbiota in adult horses.

Project description:Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are routinely used in both veterinary and human medicine. Gastrointestinal injury is a frequent adverse event associated with NSAID use and evidence suggests that NSAIDs induce gastrointestinal microbial imbalance (i.e., dysbiosis) in both animals and people. It is unknown, however, whether cyclooxygenase (COX)-2-selective NSAIDs induce dysbiosis, or if this phenomenon occurs in horses administered any class of NSAIDs. Therefore, our objectives were to determine whether the composition and diversity of the fecal microbiota of adult horses were altered by NSAID use, and whether these effects differed between non-selective and COX-2-selective NSAIDs. Twenty-five adult horses were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 groups: control (n = 5); phenylbutazone (n = 10); or, firocoxib (n = 10). Treatments were administered for 10 days. Fecal samples were collected every 5 days for 25 days. DNA was extracted from feces and the 16S rRNA gene amplified and sequenced to determine the composition of the microbiota and the inferred metagenome. While the fecal microbiota profile of the control group remained stable over time, the phenylbutazone and firocoxib groups had decreased diversity, and alteration of their microbiota profiles was most pronounced at day 10. Similarly, there were clear alterations of the inferred metagenome at day 10 compared to all other days, indicating that use of both non-selective and selective COX inhibitors resulted in temporary alterations of the fecal microbiota and inferred metagenome. Dysbiosis associated with NSAID administration is clinically relevant because dysbiosis has been associated with several important diseases of horses including abdominal pain (colic), colitis, enteric infections, and laminitis.

Analogues of 2-aminopyridine-based selective inhibitors of neuronal nitric oxide synthase with increased bioavailability.

Project description:Overproduction of nitric oxide by neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) has been linked to several neurodegenerative diseases. We have recently designed potent and isoform selective inhibitors of nNOS, but the lead compound contains several basic functional groups. A large number of charges and hydrogen bond donors can impede the ability of molecules to cross the blood brain barrier and thereby limit the effectiveness of potential neurological therapeutics. Replacement of secondary amines in our lead compound with neutral ether and amide groups was made to increase bioavailability and to determine if the potency and selectivity of the inhibitor would be impacted. An ether analogue has been identified that retains a similar potency and selectivity to that of the lead compound, and shows increased ability to penetrate the blood brain barrier.
