Design and Synthesis of Novel Symmetric Fluorene-2,7-Diamine Derivatives as Potent Hepatitis C Virus Inhibitors.

ABSTRACT: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is an international challenge. Since the discovery of NS5A direct-acting antivirals, researchers turned their attention to pursue novel NS5A inhibitors with optimized design and structure. Herein we explore highly potent hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS5A inhibitors; the novel analogs share a common symmetrical prolinamide 2,7-diaminofluorene scaffold. Modification of the 2,7-diaminofluorene backbone included the use of (S)-prolinamide or its isostere (S,R)-piperidine-3-caboxamide, both bearing different amino acid residues with terminal carbamate groups. Compound 26 exhibited potent inhibitory activity against HCV genotype (GT) 1b (effective concentration (EC₅₀) = 36 pM and a selectivity index of >2.78 × 10⁶). Compound 26 showed high selectivity on GT 1b versus GT 4a. Interestingly, it showed a significant antiviral effect against GT 3a (EC₅₀ = 1.2 nM). The structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis revealed that picomolar inhibitory activity was attained with the use of S-prolinamide capped with R- isoleucine or R-phenylglycine residues bearing a terminal alkyl carbamate group.

Design and synthesis of benzenesulfonamide derivatives as potent anti-influenza hemagglutinin inhibitors.

Project description:Structural optimization of salicylamide-based hemagglutinin (HA) inhibitor 1 resulted in the identification of cis-3-(5-hydroxy-1,3,3-trimethylcyclohexylmethylamino)benzenesulfonamide 28 and its derivatives as potent anti-influenza agents. The lead compound 28 and its 2-chloro analogue 40 can effectively prevent cytopathic effects (CPE) caused by infection of influenza A/Weiss/43 strain (H1N1) with EC50 values of 210 and 86 nM, respectively. Mechanism of action studies indicate that 40 and its analogues inhibit the virus fusion with host endosome membrane by binding to HA and stabilizing the prefusion HA structure. With significantly improved metabolic stability, the reported series represents the first generation of orally bioavailable HA inhibitors that have a good selectivity window and potential for further development as novel anti-influenza agents.

Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation of Novel Acylhydrazone Derivatives as Potent Neuraminidase Inhibitors.

Project description:Neuraminidase (NA) is an important target for current research on anti-influenza drugs. The acylhydrazone derivatives containing the -CONHN=CH- framework have been shown to have good NA inhibitory activity. In this paper, a series of novel acylhydrazone NA inhibitors (9a-9n) were designed and synthesized, and the inhibitory activities against NA were evaluated in vitro. The NA inhibition results showed that compound 9j has the most potent inhibitory activity (IC50 = 0.6 μM) against NA, which is significantly lower than that of the positive control oseltamivir carboxylic acid (OSC) (IC50 = 17.00 μM). Molecular docking analysis indicates that the acylhydrazone group plays an important role in compound 9j, which can bind well to the residues Arg371 and Arg292 in the S1 subsite of NA. The good potency of 9j may be also ascribed to the extending of morpholinyl ring into the 430-cavity. The results of this work may contribute to the development of more potent NA inhibitors to against mutant influenza viruses.

Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of tacrine-1,2,3-triazole derivatives as potent cholinesterase inhibitors.

Project description:We report herein the design and synthesis of a series of 11 novel tacrine-1,2,3-triazole derivatives via a Cu(i)-catalyzed alkyne-azide 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction. The newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for their inhibition activity against Electrophorus electricus acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and horse serum butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) as potential drug targets for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Among the designed compounds, compound 8a2 exhibited potent inhibition against AChE and BChE with IC50 values of 4.89 ?M and 3.61 ?M, respectively. Further structure-activity relationship (SAR) and molecular modeling studies may provide valuable insights into the design of better tacrine-triazole analogues with potential therapeutic applications for AD.

Design, Synthesis, and Pharmacological Evaluation of Fused ?-Homophenylalanine Derivatives as Potent DPP-4 Inhibitors.

Project description:Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors are accepted as a favorable class of agents for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Herein, a series of fused ?-homophenylalanine derivatives as novel DPP-4 inhibitors were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their inhibitory activities against DPP-4. Most of them displayed excellent DPP-4 inhibitory activities and good selectivity. Among them, 9aa, 18a, and 18m also showed good efficacy in an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in ICR mice. Moreover, when dosed 8 h prior to glucose challenge, 18m showed significantly greater potency than sitagliptin. It thus provides potential candidates for the further development into potent drugs targeting DPP-4.

Tetrahydroquinolinone derivatives as potent P-glycoprotein inhibitors: design, synthesis, biological evaluation and molecular docking analysis.

Project description:P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is a transmembrane efflux pump that has been associated with ineffective cancer chemotherapy and multidrug resistance (MDR). Chemical inhibitors of P-gp could have potential cancer therapeutic applications by preventing or reversing MDR. To exploit this, we designed twenty-five tetrahydroquinolinone analogs bearing pyridyl methyl carboxylate at C3 and different substituents at C4 as MDR reversal agents. The inhibitory effects of the synthesized compounds against P-gp were assessed by flow cytometric determination of rhodamine 123 accumulation in P-gp over-expressing MES-SA/DX5 cells. Fluorescence imaging of intracellular rhodamine 123 accumulation in MES-SA/DX5 cells was also performed. Furthermore, the effect of active derivatives on the reduction of doxorubicin's IC50 in MES-SA/DX5 cells was evaluated using MTT assay. Molecular docking was used to confirm the binding mode of some of the synthesized compounds. Five compounds in group A, bearing a 2-pyridyl methyl ester substituent at the C3 position, significantly increased rhodamine accumulation at 25 ?M comparable to verapamil, a well-established P-gp inhibitor, while only 2 compounds in group B bearing 3-pyridyl methyl ester at the same position had this effect. This study shows that tetrahydroquinolinones containing methyl pyridine esters could represent an attractive scaffold for the discovery of P-gp inhibitors as MDR reversal agents in cancer cells.

Bis-isatin derivatives: design, synthesis, and biological activity evaluation as potent dimeric DJ-1 inhibitors.

Project description:The PARK7 gene (encode DJ-1 protein) was first discovered as an oncogene and later found to be a causative gene for autosomal recessive early onset Parkinson's disease. DJ-1 has been proposed as a potential therapeutic anticancer target due to its pivotal role in tumorigenesis and cancer progression. Based on the homodimer structure of DJ-1, a series of bis-isatin derivatives with different length linkers were designed, synthesized, and evaluated as dimeric inhibitors targeting DJ-1 homodimer. Among them, DM10 with alkylene chain of C10 displayed the most potent inhibitory activity against DJ-1 deglycase. We further demonstrated that DM10 bound covalently to the homodimer of DJ-1. In human cancer cell lines H1299, MDA-MB-231, BEL7402, and 786-O, DM10 (2.5-20 μM) inhibited the cell growth in a concentration-dependent manner showing better anticancer effects compared with the positive control drug STK793590. In nude mice bearing H1299 cell xenograft, intratumor injection of DM10 (15 mg/kg) produced significantly potent tumor growth inhibition when compared with that caused by STK793590 (30 mg/kg). Moreover, we found that DM10 could significantly enhance N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)retinamide-based apoptosis and erastin-based ferroptosis in H1299 cells. In conclusion, DM10 is identified as a potent inhibitor targeting DJ-1 homodimer with the potential as sensitizing agent for other anticancer drugs, which might provide synergistical therapeutic option for cancer treatment.

N-(7-Bromo-9-butyl-9H-carbazol-2-yl)-9,9-diethyl-N,N,N-triphenyl-9H-fluorene-2,7-diamine.

Project description:In the title mol-ecule, C(51)H(46)BrN(3), the central fluorene residue is planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0203 Å), as is the carbazole system (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0154 Å), and these groups are almost orthogonal [dihedral angle = 79.72 (3)°]. The three-dimensional architecture is consolidated by C-H⋯π inter-actions. The butyl substituent is disordered with two sites resolved for the terminal propyl atoms; the major component had a site-occupancy factor of 0.686 (3).

Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of N-carboxyphenylpyrrole derivatives as potent HIV fusion inhibitors targeting gp41.

Project description:On the basis of the structures of small-molecule hits targeting the HIV-1 gp41, N-(4-carboxy-3-hydroxy)phenyl-2,5-dimethylpyrrole (2, NB-2), and N-(3-carboxy-4-chloro)phenylpyrrole (A(1), NB-64), 42 N-carboxyphenylpyrrole derivatives in two categories (A and B series) were designed and synthesized. We found that 11 compounds exhibited promising anti-HIV-1 activity at micromolar level and their antiviral activity was correlated with their inhibitory activity on gp41 six-helix bundle formation, suggesting that these compounds block HIV fusion and entry by disrupting gp41 core formation. The structure-activity relationship and molecular docking analysis revealed that the carboxyl group could interact with either Arg579 or Lys574 to form salt bridges and two methyl groups on the pyrrole ring were favorable for interaction with the residues in gp41 pocket. The most active compound, N-(3-carboxy-4-hydroxy)phenyl-2,5-dimethylpyrrole (A(12)), partially occupied the deep hydrophobic pocket, suggesting that enlarging the molecular size of A(12) could improve its binding affinity and anti-HIV-1 activity for further development as a small-molecule HIV fusion and entry inhibitor.
