Evaluation of pyrrolidine and pyrazolone derivatives as inhibitors of trypanosomal phosphodiesterase B1 (TbrPDEB1).

ABSTRACT: Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) is a parasitic disease, caused by the protozoan pathogen Trypanosoma brucei, which affects thousands every year and which is in need of new therapeutics. Herein we report the synthesis and assessment of a series of pyrrolidine and pyrazolone derivatives of human phosphodiesterase 4 (hPDE4) inhibitors for the assessment of their activity against the trypanosomal phosphodiesterase TbrPDEB1. The synthesized compounds showed weak potency against TbrPDEB1.

Synthesis and assessment of catechol diether compounds as inhibitors of trypanosomal phosphodiesterase B1 (TbrPDEB1).

Project description:Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) is a parasitic neglected tropical disease that affects 10,000 patients each year. Current treatments are sub-optimal, and the disease is fatal if not treated. Herein, we report our continuing efforts to repurpose the human phosphodiesterase 4 (hPDE4) inhibitor piclamilast to target trypanosomal phosphodiesterase TbrPDEB1. We prepared a range of substituted heterocyclic replacements for the 4-amino-3,5-dichloro-pyridine headgroup of piclamilast, and found that these compounds exhibited weak inhibitory activity of TbrPDEB1.

Discovery of novel Trypanosoma brucei phosphodiesterase B1 inhibitors by virtual screening against the unliganded TbrPDEB1 crystal structure.

Project description:Trypanosoma brucei cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase B1 (TbrPDEB1) and TbrPDEB2 have recently been validated as new therapeutic targets for human African trypanosomiasis by both genetic and pharmacological means. In this study we report the crystal structure of the catalytic domain of the unliganded TbrPDEB1 and its use for the in silico screening for new TbrPDEB1 inhibitors with novel scaffolds. The TbrPDEB1 crystal structure shows the characteristic folds of human PDE enzymes but also contains the parasite-specific P-pocket found in the structures of Leishmania major PDEB1 and Trypanosoma cruzi PDEC. The unliganded TbrPDEB1 X-ray structure was subjected to a structure-based in silico screening approach that combines molecular docking simulations with a protein-ligand interaction fingerprint (IFP) scoring method. This approach identified six novel TbrPDEB1 inhibitors with IC50 values of 10-80 ?M, which may be further optimized as potential selective TbrPDEB inhibitors.

Targeting a Subpocket in Trypanosoma brucei Phosphodiesterase B1 (TbrPDEB1) Enables the Structure-Based Discovery of Selective Inhibitors with Trypanocidal Activity.

Project description:Several trypanosomatid cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs) possess a unique, parasite-specific cavity near the ligand-binding region that is referred to as the P-pocket. One of these enzymes, Trypanosoma brucei PDE B1 (TbrPDEB1), is considered a drug target for the treatment of African sleeping sickness. Here, we elucidate the molecular determinants of inhibitor binding and reveal that the P-pocket is amenable to directed design. By iterative cycles of design, synthesis, and pharmacological evaluation and by elucidating the structures of inhibitor-bound TbrPDEB1, hPDE4B, and hPDE4D complexes, we have developed 4a,5,8,8a-tetrahydrophthalazinones as the first selective TbrPDEB1 inhibitor series. Two of these, 8 (NPD-008) and 9 (NPD-039), were potent ( Ki = 100 nM) TbrPDEB1 inhibitors with antitrypanosomal effects (IC50 = 5.5 and 6.7 μM, respectively). Treatment of parasites with 8 caused an increase in intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels and severe disruption of T. brucei cellular organization, chemically validating trypanosomal PDEs as therapeutic targets in trypanosomiasis.

Docking and quantitative structure-activity relationship of bi-cyclic heteroaromatic pyridazinone and pyrazolone derivatives as phosphodiesterase 3A (PDE3A) inhibitors.

Project description:PDE3s belong to the phosphodiesterases family, where the PDE3A isoform is the major subtype in platelets involved in the cAMP regulation pathway of platelet aggregation. PDE3A inhibitors have been designed as potential antiplatelet agents. In this work, a homology model of PDE3A was developed and used to obtain the binding modes of bicyclic heteroaromatic pyridazinones and pyrazolones. Most of the studied compounds adopted similar orientations within the PDE3A active site, establishing hydrogen bonds with catalytic amino acids. Besides, the structure-activity relationship of the studied inhibitors was described by using a field-based 3D-QSAR method. Different structure alignment strategies were employed, including template-based and docking-based alignments. Adequate correlation models were obtained according to internal and external validations. In general, QSAR models revealed that steric and hydrophobic fields describe the different inhibitory activities of the compounds, where the hydrogen bond donor and acceptor fields have minor contributions. It should be stressed that structural elements of PDE3A inhibitors are reported here, through descriptions of their binding interactions and their differential affinities. In this sense, the present results could be useful in the future design of more specific and potent PDE3A inhibitors that may be used for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

Synthesis, structural analysis, and biological evaluation of thioxoquinazoline derivatives as phosphodiesterase 7 inhibitors.

Project description:PDE7 inhibitors regulate pro-inflammatory and immune T-cell functions, and are a potentially novel class of drugs especially useful in the treatment of a wide variety of immune and inflammatory disorders. Starting from our lead family of thioxoquinazolines, we designed, synthesized, and characterized a novel series of thioxoquinazoline derivatives. Many of these compounds showed inhibitory potencies at sub-micromolar levels against the catalytic domain of PDE7A1 and at the micromolar level against PDE4D2. Cell-based studies showed that these compounds not only increased intracellular cAMP levels, but also had interesting anti-inflammatory properties within a therapeutic window. The in silico data predict that these compounds are capable of the crossing the blood-brain barrier. The X-ray crystal structure of the PDE7A1 catalytic domain in complex with compound 15 at a resolution of 2.4 A demonstrated that hydrophobic interactions at the active site pocket are a key feature. This structure, together with molecular modeling, provides insight into the selectivity of the PDE inhibitors and a template for the discovery of new PDE7 or PDE7/PDE4 dual inhibitors.

Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of novel urolithins derivatives as potential phosphodiesterase II inhibitors.

Project description:A series of urolithins derivatives were designed and synthesized, and their structures have been confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and HR-MS. The inhibitory activity of these derivatives on phosphodiesterase II (PDE2) was thoroughly studied with 3-hydroxy-8-methyl-6H-benzo[C]chromen-6-one and 3-hydroxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydro-6H-benzo[C] chromen-6-one as the lead compounds. The biological activity test showed that compound 2e had the best inhibitory activity on PDE2 with an IC50 of 33.95 μM. This study provides a foundation for further structural modification and transformation of urolithins to obtain PDE2 inhibitor small molecules with better inhibitory activity.

Design of novel ?-carboline derivatives with pendant 5-bromothienyl and their evaluation as phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors.

Project description:New derivatives with the tetrahydro-?-carboline-imidazolidinedione and tetrahydro-?-carboline-piperazinedione scaffolds and a pendant bromothienyl moiety at C-5/C-6 were synthesized and tested for their ability to inhibit PDE5 in vitro. The following SAR can be concluded: The tetracyclic scaffold is essential for PDE5 inhibition; the ethyl group is the most suitable among the adopted N-substituents on the terminal ring (hydantoin/piperazinedione); the appropriate stereochemistry of C-5/C-6 derived from the aldehyde rather than C-11a/C-12a derived from tryptophan appears crucial for inhibition of PDE5; surprisingly, derivatives with the hydantoin terminal ring are more active than their analogs with the piperazinedione ring; the selectivity versus PDE5 relative to PDE11 with cGMP as a substrate is mainly a function of the substitution and stereochemistry pattern of the external ring, in other words of the interaction with the H-loop residues of the isozymes. Thirteen derivatives showed PDE5 inhibitory activity with IC(50) values in the range of 0.16-5.4?µm. Compound 8 was the most potent PDE5 inhibitor and showed selectivity towards PDE5 versus other PDEs, with a selectivity index of 49 towards PDE5 rather than PDE11 with cGMP as the substrate.

Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of novel pyridine derivatives as anticancer agents and phosphodiesterase 3 inhibitors.

Project description:Two series of 4,6-diaryl-2-imino-1,2-dihydropyridine-3-carbonitriles and their isosteric 4,6-diaryl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridine-3-carbonitriles were synthesized through a combinatorial approach. The prepared analogues were evaluated for their in vitro capacity to inhibit PDE3A and the growth of the human HT-29 colon adenocarcinoma tumor cell line. Compound 6-(4-bromophenyl)-4-(2-ethoxyphenyl)-2-imino-1,2-dihydropyridine-3-carbonitrile (Id) exhibited the strongest PDE3 inhibition when cGMP but not cAMP is the substrate with a IC(50)of 27microM, which indicates a highly selective mechanism of enzyme inhibition. On the other hand, compound 6-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)-4-(2-ethoxyphenyl)-2-imino-1,2-dihydropyridine-3-carbonitrile (Ii) was the most active in inhibiting colon tumor cell growth with a IC(50) of 3microM. The electronic effects, steric effects and conformational aspects of Id seem to be the most crucial for the PDE3 inhibition. Meanwhile, steric factors and the H-bonding capability seem to be the most important factors for tumor cell growth inhibitory activity. Conversely, there is no direct correlation between PDE3 inhibition and anticancer activity for the prepared compounds. An in silico docking experiment indicates the potential involvement of other potential molecular targets such as PIM-1 kinase to explain its tumor cell growth inhibitory activity.

Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Arylamide Sulphonate Derivatives as Ectonucleotide Pyrophosphatase/Phosphodiesterase-1 and -3 Inhibitors.

Project description:Aberrant level of ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase-1 and -3 is linked with numerous disorders, for instance, diabetes, cancer, osteoarthritis, chondrocalcinosis, and allergic reactions. These disorders may be cured or minimized by blocking the activity of ENPP1 and ENPP3 isozymes. In this study, arylamide sulphonates were synthesized, characterized, and evaluated for their capability to affect the activity of isozymes ENPP1 and ENPP3. Among the selective inhibitors of ENPP1, compounds 4f and 4q exhibited sub-micromolar IC50 values of 0.28 ± 0.08 and 0.37 ± 0.03 μM, respectively, followed by 7a, with IC50 equal to 0.81 ± 0.05 μM, whereas out of the selective inhibitors of isozyme ENPP3, 4t and 7d preferably lessened the activity to half of the maximal inhibitory concentration of 0.15 ± 0.04 and 0.16 ± 0.01 μM alternatively. In addition, many structures including 4c, 4g, 4k, 4l, 4n, 4o, 4r, 4s, 7b, 7c, and 7e inhibited the activity of both isozymes to a significant level. Enzyme kinetic study of compound 4j revealed an uncompetitive mode of inhibition of ENPP1 isozyme, while 7e competitively blocked the activity of ENPP3. Cell viability analysis revealed the compound 4o as a cytotoxic agent against MCF7 (human breast cancer cell line) with a percentage inhibition of 63.2 ± 2.51%, whereas compounds 4c, 4d, 4n, and 7d decreased the HeLa cell viability (human cervical cancer cell line) to more than 50%. The tested compounds were non-cytotoxic against HEK293 (a human embryonic kidney cell line). Molecular docking analysis of selected inhibitors of both isozymes produced optimistic interactions with the influential amino acids, such as Leu290, Lys295, Tyr340, Asp376, His380, and Pro323 of ENPP1, whereas residues Asn226, His329, Leu239, Tyr289, Pro272, Tyr320, and Ala205 of ENPP3 crystallographic structure formed interactions with the potent inhibitors.
