Amide Tethered 4-Aminoquinoline-naphthalimide Hybrids: A New Class of Possible Dual Function Antiplasmodials.

ABSTRACT: A series of amide tethered 4-aminoquinoline-naphthalimide hybrids has been synthesized to assess their in vitro antiplasmodial potential against chloroquine-susceptible (3D7) and chloroquine-resistant (W2) strains of Plasmodium falciparum. The most active and noncytotoxic compound had an IC₅₀ value of 0.07 μM against W2 strain and was more active than standard antimalarial drugs, including chloroquine, desethylamodiaquine, and quinine, particularly for drug resistant malaria. The promising scaffold, when subjected to heme binding and molecular modeling studies, was identified as a possible potent inhibitor of hemozoin formation and P. falciparum chloroquine resistance transporter (PfCRT), respectively, and, therefore, could act as a dual function antiplasmodial.

Functionalized Naphthalimide-4-aminoquinoline Conjugates as Promising Antiplasmodials, with Mechanistic Insights.

Project description:A series of 25 conjugates has been synthesized to evaluate their antiplasmodial potency and cytotoxicity against the chloroquine resistant (CQR) W2 strain of P. falciparum and Vero kidney cell lines, respectively. Most of the compounds showed IC50 values in the lower nM range and proved to be many fold more active than chloroquine (CQ). The studies were extended to decipher modes of action using techniques including UV-vis absorption, NMR titrations, and mass spectrometry, and conclusions were strengthened by docking and density functional theory (DFT) simulations. The most active compound, with IC50 15 nM and selectivity index >4000, proved to be an interesting template for antimalarial drug discovery. To the best of our knowledge this is the first report of a potent naphthalimide based antiplasmodial conjugate.

Cobalt-Catalyzed, Aminoquinoline-Directed Functionalization of Phosphinic Amide sp2 C-H Bonds.

Project description:In this paper, we introduce arylphosphinic acid aminoquinoline amides as competent substrates for cobalt-catalyzed sp2 C-H bond functionalization. Specifically, the feasibility of their coupling with alkynes, alkenes, and allyl pivalate has been demonstrated. Reactions are catalyzed by simple Co(NO3)2 hydrate in ethanol or mixed dioxane/tBuOH solvent in the presence of Mn(OAc)3·2H2O additive, sodium pivalate, or acetate base and use oxygen from the air as an oxidant. Directing group removal affords ortho-functionalized P,P-diarylphosphinic acids.

Insights into a dual function amide oxidase/macrocyclase from lankacidin biosynthesis.

Project description:Acquisition of new catalytic activity is a relatively rare evolutionary event. A striking example appears in the pathway to the antibiotic lankacidin, as a monoamine oxidase (MAO) family member, LkcE, catalyzes both an unusual amide oxidation, and a subsequent intramolecular Mannich reaction to form the polyketide macrocycle. We report evidence here for the molecular basis for this dual activity. The reaction sequence involves several essential active site residues and a conformational change likely comprising an interdomain hinge movement. These features, which have not previously been described in the MAO family, both depend on a unique dimerization mode relative to all structurally characterized members. Taken together, these data add weight to the idea that designing new multifunctional enzymes may require changes in both architecture and catalytic machinery. Encouragingly, however, our data also show LkcE to bind alternative substrates, supporting its potential utility as a general cyclization catalyst in synthetic biology.

Dual-Emissive Waterborne Polyurethanes Prepared from Naphthalimide Derivative.

Project description:Fluorescent and room-temperature phosphorescent (RTP) materials are widely used in bioimaging, chemical sensing, optoelectronics and encryption. Here, a series of single-component dual-emissive waterborne polyurethanes (WPUs) with both fluorescence and room-temperature phosphorescence were synthesized. Dye without halogen atom incorporated into WPUs can only exhibit fluorescence due to poor spin-orbit coupling. When bromine atom is introduced into dye, we found that WPUs can emit both fluorescence and room-temperature phosphorescence with lifetimes up to milliseconds because of enhanced spin-orbit coupling. Moreover, with an increase in dye concentrations in WPUs, excimers are formed due to the aggregation effect, and may promote communication between singlet and triplet states. At different dye concentrations, structural, thermal, and luminescent properties serve as the main focus.

Palladium-catalyzed, aminoquinoline-directed arylation of phosphonamidate and phosphinic amide sp3 C-H bonds.

Project description:Aminoquinoline-directed, palladium-catalyzed sp3 C-H bond arylation in phosphonamidates and phosphinic amides is reported. The reaction employs Pd(OAc)2 as a catalyst at 10 mol% loading and cesium phosphate or potassium carbonate as a base in 1,2-dichlorobenzene as a solvent. The directing group can be removed under basic conditions to afford phosphonic acid esters. The chemistry described here is the first example of unactivated sp3 C-H bond arylation by using a phosphorus-containing directing group.

Membrane-tethered ligands are effective probes for exploring class B1 G protein-coupled receptor function.

Project description:Class B1 (secretin family) G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) modulate a wide range of physiological functions, including glucose homeostasis, feeding behavior, fat deposition, bone remodeling, and vascular contractility. Endogenous peptide ligands for these GPCRs are of intermediate length (27-44 aa) and include receptor affinity (C-terminal) as well as receptor activation (N-terminal) domains. We have developed a technology in which a peptide ligand tethered to the cell membrane selectively modulates corresponding class B1 GPCR-mediated signaling. The engineered cDNA constructs encode a single protein composed of (i) a transmembrane domain (TMD) with an intracellular C terminus, (ii) a poly(asparagine-glycine) linker extending from the TMD into the extracellular space, and (iii) a class B1 receptor ligand positioned at the N terminus. We demonstrate that membrane-tethered peptides, like corresponding soluble ligands, trigger dose-dependent receptor activation. The broad applicability of this approach is illustrated by experiments using tethered versions of 7 mammalian endogenous class B1 GPCR agonists. In parallel, we carried out mutational studies focused primarily on incretin ligands of the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor. These experiments suggest that tethered ligand activity is conferred in large part by the N-terminal domain of the peptide hormone. Follow-up studies revealed that interconversion of tethered agonists and antagonists can be achieved with the introduction of selected point mutations. Such complementary receptor modulators provide important new tools for probing receptor structure-function relationships as well as for future studies aimed at dissecting the tissue-specific biological role of a GPCR in vivo (e.g., in the brain vs. in the periphery).

Synthesis of 4-aminoquinoline-pyrimidine hybrids as potent antimalarials and their mode of action studies.

Project description:One of the most viable options to tackle the growing resistance to the antimalarial drugs such as artemisinin is to resort to synthetic drugs. The multi-target strategy involving the use of hybrid drugs has shown promise. In line with this, new hybrids of quinoline with pyrimidine have been synthesized and evaluated for their antiplasmodial activity against both CQ(S) and CQ(R) strains of Plasmodium falciparum. These depicted activity in nanomolar range and were found to bind to heme as well as AT rich pUC18 DNA.

Novel 4-aminoquinoline-pyrimidine based hybrids with improved in vitro and in vivo antimalarial activity.

Project description:A class of hybrid molecules consisting of 4-aminoquinoline and pyrimidine were synthesized and tested for antimalarial activity against both chloroquine (CQ)-sensitive (D6) and chloroquine (CQ)-resistant (W2) strains of Plasmodium falciparum through an in vitro assay. Eleven hybrids showed better antimalarial activity against both CQ-sensitive and CQ-resistant strains of P. falciparum in comparison to standard drug CQ. Four molecules were more potent (7-8-fold) than CQ in D6 strain, and eight molecules were found to be 5-25-fold more active against resistant strain (W2). Several compounds did not show any cytotoxicity up to a high concentration (60 ?M), others exhibited mild toxicities, but the selective index for the antimalarial activity was very high for most of these hybrids. Two compounds selected for in vivo evaluation have shown excellent activity (po) in a mouse model of Plasmodium berghei without any apparent toxicity. The X-ray crystal structure of one of the compounds was also determined.

Anti-inflammatory hybrids of secondary amines and amide-sulfamide derivatives.

Project description:The CXCR4/CXCL12 chemokine axis can chemotactically accumulate inflammatory cells to local tissues and regulate the release of inflammatory factors. Developing novel CXCR4 modulators may provide a desirable strategy to control the development of inflammation. A series of novel hybrids were designed by integrating the key pharmacophores of three CXCR4 modulators. The majority of compounds displayed potent CXCR4 binding affinity. Compound 7a exhibited 1000-fold greater affinity than AMD3100 and significantly inhibited invasion of CXCR4-positive tumor cells. Additionally, compound 7a blocked mice ear inflammation by 67% and suppressed the accumulation of inflammatory cells in an in vivo mouse ear edema evaluation. Western blot analyses revealed that 7a inhibited the CXCR4/CXCL12-mediated phosphorylation of Akt and p44 in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, compound 7a had no observable cytotoxicity and displayed a favorable plasma stability in our preliminary pharmacokinetic study. These results confirmed that this is a feasible method to develop CXCR4 modulators for the regulation and reduction of inflammation.
