Synthesis, Stability, and Biological Studies of Fluorinated Analogues of Thromboxane A₂.

ABSTRACT: Platelet activation results in the generation of thromboxane A₂ (TxA₂), which promotes thrombus formation by further amplifying platelet function, as well as causing vasoconstriction. Due to its role in thrombus formation and cardiovascular disease, its production is the target of antiplatelet drugs such as aspirin. However, the study of TxA₂-stimulated cellular function has been limited by its instability (t _1/2 = 32 s, pH = 7.4). Although more stable analogues such as U46619 and difluorinated 10,10-F₂-TxA₂ have been prepared, we targeted a closer mimic to TxA₂ itself, monofluorinated 10-F-TxA₂, since the number of fluorine atoms can affect function. Key steps in the synthesis of F-TxA₂ included α-fluorination of a lactone bearing a β-alkoxy group, and a novel synthesis of the strained acetal. F-TxA₂ was found to be 10⁵ more stable than TxA₂, and surprisingly was only slightly less stable than F₂-TxA₂. Preliminary biological studies showed that F-TxA₂ has similar potency as TxA₂ toward inducing platelet aggregation but was superior to F₂-TxA₂ in activating integrin α_IIbβ₃.

Synthesis and CYP24A1-Dependent Metabolism of 23-Fluorinated Vitamin D<sub>3</sub> Analogues.

Project description:Two novel 23-fluorinated 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 analogues were synthesized using Inhoffen-Lythgoe diol as a precursor of the CD-ring, efficiently. Introduction of the C23 fluoro group was achieved by the deoxy-fluorination reaction using N,N-diethylaminosulfur trifluoride or 2-pyridinesulfonyl fluoride (PyFluor). Kinetic studies on the CYP24A1-dependent metabolism of these two analogues revealed that (23S)-23-fluoro-25-hydroxyvitamin D3 was more resistant to CYP24A1-dependent metabolism than its 23R isomer.

Potent fluorinated agelastatin analogues for chronic lymphocytic leukemia: design, synthesis, and pharmacokinetic studies.

Project description:Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common lymphoid neoplasia in Western societies and is currently incurable. Multiple treatment options are practiced, but the available small molecule drugs suffer from dose-limiting toxicity and undesirable side effects. The need for new, less toxic treatments is a pressing concern. Here, we demonstrate that (-)-agelastatin A (1a), a pyrrole-imidazole alkaloid obtained from a marine sponge, exhibits potent in vitro activity against primary cell lines of CLL and disclose the synthesis of several analogues that are equipotent or exceed the potency of the natural product. The novel synthetic analogue, 13-debromo-13-trifluoromethyl agelastatin A (1j), showed higher activity than the natural product when tested against the same cell lines and is the most potent agelastatin derivative reported to date. A detailed in vitro structure-activity relationship of 1a in CLL compared to that of 22 synthetic analogues is described along with preliminary in vivo pharmacokinetic and metabolism studies on the most potent compounds.

Design, Synthesis, Biological Evaluation and In Silico Studies of Pyrazole-Based NH<sub>2</sub>-Acyl Oseltamivir Analogues as Potent Neuraminidase Inhibitors.

Project description:Oseltamivir represents one of the most successful neuraminidase (NA) inhibitors in the current anti-influenza therapy. The 150-cavity of NA was identified as an additional binding pocket, and novel NA inhibitors have been designed to occupy the 150-cavity based on the structure information of oseltamivir carboxylate (OC) in complex with NA. In this study, a series of C-5-NH2-acyl derivatives of OC containing the pyrazole moiety were synthesized. Several derivatives exhibited substantial inhibitory activity against NA. Moreover, in silico ADME evaluation indicated that the derivatives were drug-like with higher oral absorption rates and greater cell permeability than OC. Additionally, molecular docking studies revealed that the derivatives interacted with both the NA enzyme active site and 150-cavity as expected. The results provided useful information for further structural optimization of OC.

Novel phthalimide based analogues: design, synthesis, biological evaluation, and molecular docking studies.

Project description:Pyrazolylphthalimide derivative 4 was synthesized and reacted with different reagents to afford the target compounds imidazopyrazoles 5-7, pyrazolopyrimidines 9, 12, 14 and pyrazolotriazines 16, 17 containing phthalimide moiety. The prepared compounds were established by different spectral data and elemental analyses. Additionally, all synthesized derivatives were screened for their antibacterial activity against four types of Gram + ve and Gram-ve strains, and for antifungal activity against two fungi micro-organisms by well diffusion method. Moreover, the antiproliferative activity was tested for all compounds against human liver (HepG-2) cell line in comparison with the reference vinblastine. Moreover, drug-likeness and toxicity risk parameters of the newly synthesized compounds were calculated using in silico studies. The data from structure-actvity relationship (SAR) analysis suggested that phthalimide derivative bearing 3-aminopyrazolone moiety, 4 illustrated the best antimicrobial and antitumor activities and might be considered as a lead for further optimization. To investigate the mechanism of the antimicrobial and anticancer activities, enzymatic assay and molecular docking studies were carried out on E. coli topoisomerase II DNA gyrase B and VEGFR-2 enzymes.

Lerisetron Analogues with Antimalarial Properties: Synthesis, Structure-Activity Relationship Studies, and Biological Assessment.

Project description:A phenotypic whole cell high-throughput screen against the asexual blood and liver stages of the malaria parasite identified a benzimidazole chemical series. Among the hits were the antiemetic benzimidazole drug Lerisetron 1 (IC50 NF54 = 0.81 ?M) and its methyl-substituted analogue 2 (IC50 NF54 = 0.098 ?M). A medicinal chemistry hit to lead effort led to the identification of chloro-substituted analogue 3 with high potency against the drug-sensitive NF54 (IC50 NF54 = 0.062 ?M) and multidrug-resistant K1 (IC50 K1 = 0.054 ?M) strains of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. Compounds 2 and 3 gratifyingly showed in vivo efficacy in both Plasmodium berghei and P. falciparum mouse models of malaria. Cardiotoxicity risk as expressed in strong inhibition of the human ether-a-go-go-related gene (hERG) potassium channel was identified as a major liability to address. This led to the synthesis and biological assessment of around 60 analogues from which several compounds with improved antiplasmodial potency, relative to the lead compound 3, were identified.

Synthesis, Biological Evaluation and Docking Studies of Ring-Opened Analogues of Ipomoeassin F.

Project description:The plant-derived macrocyclic resin glycoside ipomoeassin F (Ipom-F) binds to Sec61α and significantly disrupts multiple aspects of Sec61-mediated protein biogenesis at the endoplasmic reticulum, ultimately leading to cell death. However, extensive assessment of Ipom-F as a molecular tool and a therapeutic lead is hampered by its limited production scale, largely caused by intramolecular assembly of the macrocyclic ring. Here, using in vitro and/or in cellula biological assays to explore the first series of ring-opened analogues for the ipomoeassins, and indeed all resin glycosides, we provide clear evidence that macrocyclic integrity is not required for the cytotoxic inhibition of Sec61-dependent protein translocation by Ipom-F. Furthermore, our modeling suggests that open-chain analogues of Ipom-F can interact with multiple sites on the Sec61α subunit, most likely located at a previously identified binding site for mycolactone and/or the so-called lateral gate. Subsequent in silico-aided design led to the discovery of the stereochemically simplified analogue 3 as a potent, alternative lead compound that could be synthesized much more efficiently than Ipom-F and will accelerate future ipomoeassin research in chemical biology and drug discovery. Our work may also inspire further exploration of ring-opened analogues of other resin glycosides.

Total synthesis and biological evaluation of fluorinated cryptophycins.

Project description:Cryptophycins are cytotoxic natural products that exhibit considerable activities even against multi-drug-resistant tumor cell lines. As fluorinated pharmaceuticals have become more and more important during the past decades, fluorine-functionalized cryptophycins were synthesized and evaluated in cell-based cytotoxicity assays. The unit A trifluoromethyl-modified cryptophycin proved to be highly active against KB-3-1 cells and exhibited an IC(50) value in the low picomolar range. However, the replacement of the 3-chloro-4-methoxyphenyl-substituent in unit B by a pentafluorophenyl moiety resulted in a significant loss of activity.

Synthesis, Biological Evaluation, and Molecular Modeling Studies of Chiral Chloroquine Analogues as Antimalarial Agents.

Project description:In a focused exploration, we designed, synthesized, and biologically evaluated chiral conjugated new chloroquine (CQ) analogues with substituted piperazines as antimalarial agents. In vitro as well as in vivo studies revealed that compound 7c showed potent activity (in vitro 50% inhibitory concentration, 56.98 nM for strain 3D7 and 97.76 nM for strain K1; selectivity index in vivo [up to at a dose of 12.5 mg/kg of body weight], 3,510) as a new lead antimalarial agent. Other compounds (compounds 6b, 6d, 7d, 7h, 8c, 8d, 9a, and 9c) also showed moderate activity against a CQ-sensitive strain (3D7) and superior activity against a CQ-resistant strain (K1) of Plasmodium falciparum Furthermore, we carried out docking and three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) studies of all in-house data sets (168 molecules) of chiral CQ analogues to explain the structure-activity relationships (SAR). Our new findings specify the significance of the H-bond interaction with the side chain of heme for biological activity. In addition, the 3D-QSAR study against the 3D7 strain indicated the favorable and unfavorable sites of CQ analogues for incorporating steric, hydrophobic, and electropositive groups to improve the antimalarial activity.

Synthesis, Biological Evaluation and Stability Studies of Some Novel Aza-Acridine Aminoderivatives.

Project description:Several new amino-substituted aza-acridine derivatives bearing a basic side chain have been designed and synthesized. The antiproliferative activity of the target compounds has been evaluated against three cancer cell lines-namely HCT-116 (colorectal), the uterine sarcoma MES-SA, and its doxorubicin-resistant variant MES-SA/Dx5. A limited number of the new acridines showed marginal cytotoxicity against the tested cell lines; nevertheless, these analogues possessed a similar substitution pattern. The moderate biological activity of these derivatives was attributed to their instability in aqueous media, which has been studied by mass spectrometry and computational chemistry experiments at the density functional level of theory (DFT).
