Design and Synthesis of Potent Bivalent Peptide Agonists Targeting the EphA2 Receptor.

Project description:Designing potent and selective peptides and small molecules that target Eph receptor tyrosine kinases remains a challenge and new strategies are needed for developing novel and potent ligands for these receptors. In this study, we performed a structure-activity relationship study of a previously identified 12 amino acid-long peptide, SWL, by alanine scanning to identify residues important for receptor binding. To further enhance and optimize the receptor binding affinity of the SWL peptide, we applied the concept of bivalent ligand design to synthesize several SWL-derived dimeric peptides as novel ligands capable of binding simultaneously to two EphA2 receptor molecules. The dimeric peptides possess higher receptor binding affinity than the original monomeric SWL peptide, consistent with bivalent binding. The most potent dimeric peptide, a SWL dimer with a 6 carbon linker, has about 13 fold increased potency compared to SWL. Furthermore, similar to SWL, the dimeric peptide is an agonist and can promote EphA2 tyrosine phosphorylation (activation) in cultured cells.

Design, Synthesis, and Evaluation of Tetrasubstituted Pyridines as Potent 5-HT2C Receptor Agonists.

Project description:A series of pyrido[3,4-d]azepines that are potent and selective 5-HT2C receptor agonists is disclosed. Compound 7 (PF-04781340) is identified as a suitable lead owing to good 5-HT2C potency, selectivity over 5-HT2B agonism, and in vitro ADME properties commensurate with an orally available and CNS penetrant profile. The synthesis of a novel bicyclic tetrasubstituted pyridine core template is outlined, including rationale to account for the unexpected formation of aminopyridine 13 resulting from an ammonia cascade cyclization.

1,1,1,5,5,5-Hexafluoro-2,4-dimeth-oxy-pentane-2,4-diol.

Project description:The title compound, C(7)H(10)F(6)O(4), was isolated as an unexpected product from a reaction of tantalum(V) methoxide with hexa-fluoro-acetyl-acetone in a methanol solution. The asymmetric unit consists of one half-mol-ecule with the middle C atom lying on a twofold axis. The crystal structure is stabilized by O-H⋯O and an array of C-H⋯F hydrogen-bonding inter-actions. These inter-actions link the mol-ecules into a stable supra-molecular three-dimensional network. The mol-ecules pack in a ribbon-like form in the ac plane as a result of these inter-actions.

Design, synthesis and evaluation of 3-phenoxypyrazine-2-carboxamide derivatives as potent TGR5 agonists.

Project description:TGR5 is emerging as an important and promising target for the treatment of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and obesity. A series of novel 3-phenoxypyrazine-2-carboxamide derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated in vitro and in vivo. The most potent compounds 18g and 18k exhibited excellent hTGR5 agonist activity, which was superior to those of the reference drug INT-777. In addition, compound 18k could significantly reduce blood glucose levels in C57 BL/6 mice and stimulate GLP-1 secretion in NCI-H716 cells and C57 BL/6 mice.

Design, synthesis, and evaluation of potent novel peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ indole partial agonists.

Project description:Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor γ (PPARγ) is a nuclear receptor important for glucose homeostasis and insulin sensitivity. The anti-diabetic drugs thiazolidinediones improve insulin sensitivity by blocking PPARγ phosphorylation at S273; however, their full agonism on PPARγ also causes significant unwanted side effects. The indole derivative UHC1 displays insulin-sensitizing effect by acting as a partial agonist through the inhibition of PPARγ S273 phosphorylation, but without full agonist-associated side effects; however, its potency leaves much to be desired. Herein we report the design and synthesis of potent indole analogs as partial PPARγ agonists via the structure-activity relationship studies. Our studies revealed that vanillylamine and piperonyl benzylamine at Site 1 are favored to bind PPARγ with either biphenyl or 3-trifluoromethyl benzyl group at Site 2. In particular, compound WO91A with vanillylamine at Site 1 displays highly potent PPARγ binding affinity (IC50 = 16.7 nM), over 30-fold more potent than the parental compound UHC1, yet with less side effect-associated transactivation activity.

Synthesis, enantioresolution, and activity profile of chiral 6-methyl-2,4-disubstituted pyridazin-3(2H)-ones as potent N-formyl peptide receptor agonists.

Project description:A series of chiral pyridazin-3(2H)-ones was synthesized, separated as pure enantiomers, and evaluated for N-formyl peptide receptor (FPR) agonist activity. Characterization of the purified enantiomers using combined chiral HPLC and chiroptical studies (circular dichroism, allowed unambiguous assignment of the absolute configuration for each pair of enantiomers). Evaluation of the ability of racemic mixtures and purified enantiomers to stimulate intracellular Ca(2+) flux in FPR-transfected HL-60 cells and human neutrophils and to induce β-arrestin recruitment in FPR-transfected CHO-K1 cells showed that many enantiomers were potent agonists, inducing responses in the sub-micromolar to nanomolar range. Furthermore, FPRs exhibited enantiomer selectivity, generally preferring the R-(-)-forms over the S-(+)-enantiomers. Finally, we found that elongation of the carbon chain in the chiral center of the active compounds generally increased biological activity. Thus, these studies provide important new information regarding molecular features involved in FPR ligand preference and report the identification of a novel series of FPR agonists.

Further studies on 2-arylacetamide pyridazin-3(2H)-ones: design, synthesis and evaluation of 4,6-disubstituted analogs as formyl peptide receptors (FPRs) agonists.

Project description:Formyl peptide receptors (FPRs) play an essential role in the regulation of endogenous inflammation and immunity. In the present studies, a large series of pyridazin-3(2H)-one derivatives bearing an arylacetamide chain at position 2 was synthesized and tested for FPR agonist activity. The pyridazin-3(2H)-one ring was confirmed to be an appropriate scaffold to support FPR agonist activity, and its modification at the 4 and 6 positions led to the identification of additional active agonists, which induced intracellular Ca(2+) flux in HL-60 cells transfected with either FPR1, FPR2, or FPR3. Seven formyl peptide receptor 1 (FPR1)-specific and several mixed FPR1/FPR2 dual agonists were identified with low micromolar EC50 values. Furthermore, these agonists also activated human neutrophils, inducing intracellular Ca(2+) flux and chemotaxis. Finally, molecular docking studies indicated that the most potent pyridazin-3(2H)-ones overlapped in their best docking poses with fMLF and WKYMVM peptides in the FPR1 and FPR2 ligand binding sites, respectively. Thus, pyridazinone-based compounds represent potential lead compounds for further development of selective and/or potent FPR agonists.

Design, Synthesis, and Action Mechanism of 1,3-Benzodioxole Derivatives as Potent Auxin Receptor Agonists and Root Growth Promoters.

Project description:Deeper and longer roots allow crops to survive and flourish, but our understanding of the plant growth regulators promoting root system establishment is limited. Here, we report that, a novel auxin receptor agonist, named K-10, had a remarkable promotive effect on root growth in both Arabidopsis thaliana and Oryza sativa through the enhancement of root-related signaling responses. Using computer-aided drug discovery approaches, we developed potent lead compound by screening artificial chemicals on the basis of the auxin receptor TIR1 (Transport Inhibitor Response 1), and a series of N-(benzo[d] [1,3] dioxol-5-yl)-2-(one-benzylthio) acetamides, K-1 to K-22, were designed and synthesized. The results of bioassay showed that K-10 exhibited an excellent root growth-promoting activity far exceeding that of NAA (1-naphthylacetic acid). A further morphological investigation of the auxin related mutants (yucQ, tir1) revealed that K-10 had auxin-like physiological functions and was recognized by TIR1, and K-10 significantly enhanced auxin response reporter's (DR5:GUS) transcriptional activity. Consistently, transcriptome analysis showed that K-10 induced a common transcriptional response with auxin and down-regulated the expression of root growth-inhibiting genes. Further molecular docking analysis revealed that K-10 had a stronger binding ability with TIR1 than NAA. These results indicated that this class of derivatives could be a promising scaffold for the discovery and development of novel auxin receptor agonists, and the employment of K-10 may be effective for enhancing root growth and crop production.

Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of GPR55 agonists.

Project description:GPR55, a G protein-coupled receptor, is an attractive target to alleviate inflammatory and neuropathic pain and treat osteoporosis and cancer. Identifying a potent and selective ligand will aid to further establish the specific physiological roles and pharmacology of the receptor. Towards this goal, a targeted library of 22 compounds was synthesized in a modular fashion to obtain structure-activity relationship information. The general route consisted of coupling a variety of p-aminophenyl sulfonamides to isothiocyanates to form acylthioureas. For the synthesis of a known naphthyl ethyl alcohol motif, route modification led to a shorter and more efficient process. The 22 analogues were analyzed for their ability to serve as agonists at GPR55 and valuable information for both ends of the molecule was ascertained.
