Discovery of Isoquinolinoquinazolinones as a Novel Class of Potent PPAR? Antagonists with Anti-adipogenic Effects.

ABSTRACT: Conformational change in helix 12 can alter ligand-induced PPAR? activity; based on this reason, isoquinolinoquinazolinones, structural homologs of berberine, were designed and synthesized as PPAR? antagonists. Computational docking and mutational study indicated that isoquinolinoquinazolinones form hydrogen bonds with the Cys285 and Arg288 residues of PPAR?. Furthermore, SPR results demonstrated strong binding affinity of isoquinolinoquinazolinones towards PPAR?. Additionally, biological assays showed that this new series of PPAR? antagonists more strongly inhibit adipocyte differentiation and PPAR?2-induced transcriptional activity than GW9662.

Discovery of Potent Dual PPAR? Agonists/CB1 Ligands.

Project description:This letter describes the synthesis and in vitro and in vivo evaluation of dual ligands targeting the cannabinoid and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPAR). These compounds were obtained from fusing the pharmacophores of fibrates and the diarylpyrazole rimonabant, a cannabinoid receptor antagonist. They are the first examples of dual compounds with nanomolar affinity for both PPAR? and cannabinoid receptors. Besides, lead compound 2 proved to be CB1 selective. Unexpectedly, the phenol intermediates tested were equipotent (compound 1 as compared to 2) or even more potent (compound 3 as compared with 4). This discovery opens the way to design new dual ligands.

Discovery and Identification of Pyrazolopyramidine Analogs as Novel Potent Androgen Receptor Antagonists.

Project description:Androgen receptor (AR), an important target in the current androgen derivation therapy, plays a critical role in the development and progress of prostate cancer (PCa). Nonsteroidal antiandrogens, such as enzalutamide and bicalutamide, are commonly used in clinic to treat PCa. Though they are very effective at the beginning, drug resistance problem appears after about 18 months. One of the reasons is that these antiandrogens share similar structure skeleton. Therefore, it is urgent to discover novel antiandrogens with different skeletons for resistance problem. Herein, we combined structure- and ligand-based methodologies for virtual screening chemical databases to identify potent AR antagonists. Then the cytotoxic activities of the screened hit samples were evaluated by using LNCaP prostate cancer cells. Virtual screening and biological evaluation assay results suggest that several chemicals with novel pyrazolopyrimidine skeleton can inhibit the proliferation of prostate cancer cells with similar, or even higher, bioactivities to bicalutamide. AR reporter gene assay experiments proved that Compound III showed potential antagonistic effects. In addition, molecular dynamics simulations results proved that Compound III can properly bind to AR and prevent helix 12 (H12) from closing to distort the formation of activation function 2 (AF2) site, resulting in the invalid transcription. Hence, pyrazolopyrimidine was discovered as a novel, potent and promising antiandrogen skeleton deserved to be further studied.

1,2,3-Triazoles as Amide Bioisosteres: Discovery of a New Class of Potent HIV-1 Vif Antagonists.

Project description:RN-18 based viral infectivity factor (Vif), Vif antagonists reduce viral infectivity by rescuing APOBEC3G (A3G) expression and enhancing A3G-dependent Vif degradation. Replacement of amide functionality in RN-18 (IC50 = 6 ?M) by isosteric heterocycles resulted in the discovery of a 1,2,3-trizole, 1d (IC50 = 1.2 ?M). We identified several potent HIV-1 inhibitors from a 1d based library including 5ax (IC50 = 0.01 ?M), 5bx (0.2 ?M), 2ey (0.4 ?M), 5ey (0.6 ?M), and 6bx (0.2 ?M).

Discovery of Natural Products as Novel and Potent FXR Antagonists by Virtual Screening.

Project description:Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is a member of nuclear receptor family involved in multiple physiological processes through regulating specific target genes. The critical role of FXR as a transcriptional regulator makes it a promising target for diverse diseases, especially those related to metabolic disorders such as diabetes and cholestasis. However, the underlying activation mechanism of FXR is still a blur owing to the absence of proper FXR modulators. To identify potential FXR modulators, an in-house natural product database (NPD) containing over 4,000 compounds was screened by structure-based virtual screening strategy and subsequent hit-based similarity searching method. After the yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) assay, six natural products were identified as FXR antagonists which blocked the CDCA-induced SRC-1 association. The IC50 values of compounds 2a, a diterpene bearing polycyclic skeleton, and 3a, named daphneone with chain scaffold, are as low as 1.29 and 1.79 ?M, respectively. Compared to the control compound guggulsterone (IC50 = 6.47 ?M), compounds 2a and 3a displayed 5- and 3-fold higher antagonistic activities against FXR, respectively. Remarkably, the two representative compounds shared low topological similarities with other reported FXR antagonists. According to the putative binding poses, the molecular basis of these antagonists against FXR was also elucidated in this report.

Discovery of highly potent p53-MDM2 antagonists and structural basis for anti-acute myeloid leukemia activities.

Project description:The inhibition of p53-MDM2 interaction is a promising new approach to non-genotoxic cancer treatment. A potential application for drugs blocking the p53-MDM2 interaction is acute myeloid leukemia (AML) due to the occurrence of wild type p53 (wt p53) in the majority of patients. Although there are very promising preclinical results of several p53-MDM2 antagonists in early development, none of the compounds have yet proven the utility as a next generation anticancer agent. Herein we report the design, synthesis and optimization of YH239-EE (ethyl ester of the free carboxylic acid compound YH239), a potent p53-MDM2 antagonizing and apoptosis-inducing agent characterized by a number of leukemia cell lines as well as patient-derived AML blast samples. The structural basis of the interaction between MDM2 (the p53 receptor) and YH239 is elucidated by a co-crystal structure. YH239-EE acts as a prodrug and is the most potent compound that induces apoptosis in AML cells and patient samples. The observed superior activity compared to reference compounds provides the preclinical basis for further investigation and progression of YH239-EE.

Analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties of novel, selective, and potent EP4 receptor antagonists.

Project description:Prostaglandin (PG) E2 is the key driver of inflammation associated with arthritic conditions. Inhibitors of PGE 2 production (NSAIDs and Coxibs) are used to treat these conditions, but carry significant side effect risks due to the inhibition of all prostanoids that play important physiological function. The activities of PGE 2 are transduced through various receptor sub-types. Prostaglandin E2 type 4 receptor (EP4) is associated with the development of inflammation and autoimmunity. We therefore are interested in identifying novel EP4 antagonists to treat the signs and symptoms of arthritis without the potential side effects of PGE 2 modulators such as NSAIDs and Coxibs. Novel EP4 antagonists representing distinct chemical scaffolds were identified using a variety of in vitro functional assays and were shown to be selective and potent. The compounds were shown to be efficacious in animal models of analgesia, inflammation, and arthritis.

Discovery and computer aided potency optimization of a novel class of small molecule CXCR4 antagonists.

Project description:Amongst the chemokine signalling axes involved in cancer, chemokine CXCL12 acting on chemokine receptor CXCR4 is particularly significant since it orchestrates migration of cancer cells in a tissue-specific metastatic process. High CXCR4 tumour expression is associated with poor prognosis of lung, brain, CNS, blood and breast cancers. We have identified a new class of small molecule CXCR4 antagonists based on the use of computational modelling studies in concert with experimental determination of in vitro activity against CXCL12-induced intracellular calcium mobilisation, proliferation and chemotaxis. Molecular modelling proved to be a useful tool in rationalising our observed potencies, as well as informing the direction of the synthetic efforts aimed at producing more potent compounds.

Structure-Based Discovery of a Novel Class of Small-Molecule Pure Antagonists of Integrin αVβ3.

Project description:Inhibitors of integrin αVβ3 have therapeutic promise for a variety of diseases. Most αVβ3-targeting small molecules patterned after the RGD motif are partial agonists because they induce a high-affinity, ligand-binding conformation and prime the receptor to bind the ligand without an activating stimulus, in part via a charge-charge interaction between their aspartic acid carboxyl group and the metal ion in the metal-ion-dependent adhesion site (MIDAS). Building upon our previous studies on the related integrin αIIbβ3, we searched for pure αVβ3 antagonists that lack this typical aspartic acid carboxyl group and instead engage through direct binding to one of the coordinating residues of the MIDAS metal ion, specifically β3 E220. By in silico screening of two large chemical libraries for compounds interacting with β3 E220, we indeed discovered a novel molecule that does not contain an acidic carboxyl group and does not induce the high-affinity, ligand-binding state of the receptor. Functional and structural characterization of a chemically optimized version of this compound led to the discovery of a novel small-molecule pure αVβ3 antagonist that (i) does not prime the receptor to bind the ligand and does not induce hybrid domain swing-out or receptor extension as judged by antibody binding and negative-stain electron microscopy, (ii) binds at the RGD-binding site as predicted by metadynamics rescoring of induced-fit docking poses and confirmed by a cryo-electron microscopy structure of the compound-bound integrin, and (iii) coordinates the MIDAS metal ion via a quinoline moiety instead of an acidic carboxyl group.

Butein is a novel anti-adipogenic compound.

Project description:Rhus verniciflua Stokes (RVS) has been used as a traditional herbal medicine for its various biological activities including anti-adipogenic effects. Activity-guided separation led to the identification of the anti-adipogenic functions of butein. Butein, a novel anti-adipogenic compound, robustly suppressed lipid accumulation and inhibited expression of adipogenic markers. Molecular studies showed that activated transforming growth factor-? (TGF-?) and suppressed signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) signaling pathways were mediated by butein. Analysis of the temporal expression profiles suggests that TGF-? signaling precedes the STAT3 in the butein-mediated anti-adipogenic cascade. Small interfering RNA-mediated silencing of STAT3 or SMAD2/3 blunted the inhibitory effects of butein on adipogenesis indicating that an interaction between two signaling pathways is required for the action of butein. Upon butein treatments, stimulation of TGF-? signaling was still preserved in STAT3 silenced cells, whereas regulation of STAT3 signaling by butein was significantly impaired in SMAD2/3 silenced cells, further showing that TGF-? acts upstream of STAT3 in the butein-mediated anti-adipogenesis. Taken together, the present study shows that butein, a novel anti-adipogenic compound from RVS, inhibits adipocyte differentiation through the TGF-? pathway followed by STAT3 and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ? signaling, further implicating potential roles of butein in TGF-?- and STAT3-dysregulated diseases.
