Collaborative virtual screening to elaborate an imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine hit series for visceral leishmaniasis.

ABSTRACT: An innovative pre-competitive virtual screening collaboration was engaged to validate and subsequently explore an imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine screening hit for visceral leishmaniasis. In silico probing of five proprietary pharmaceutical company libraries enabled rapid expansion of the hit chemotype, alleviating initial concerns about the core chemical structure while simultaneously improving antiparasitic activity and selectivity index relative to the background cell line. Subsequent hit optimization informed by the structure-activity relationship enabled by this virtual screening allowed thorough investigation of the pharmacophore, opening avenues for further improvement and optimization of the chemical series.

Discovery of a new series of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine compounds as selective c-Met inhibitors.

Project description:Aberrant c-Met activation plays a critical role in cancer formation, progression and dissemination, as well as in development of resistance to anticancer drugs. Therefore, c-Met has emerged as an attractive target for cancer therapy. The aim of this study was to develop new c-Met inhibitors and elaborate the structure-activity relationships of identified inhibitors.Based on the predicted binding modes of Compounds 5 and 14 in docking studies, a new series of c-Met inhibitor-harboring 3-((1H-pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridin-1-yl)sulfonyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine scaffolds was discovered. Potent inhibitors were identified through extensive optimizations combined with enzymatic and cellular assays. A promising compound was further investigated in regard to its selectivity, its effects on c-Met signaling, cell proliferation and cell scattering in vitro.The most potent Compound 31 inhibited c-Met kinase activity with an IC50 value of 12.8 nmol/L, which was >78-fold higher than those of a panel of 16 different tyrosine kinases. Compound 31 (8, 40, 200 nmol/L) dose-dependently inhibited the phosphorylation of c-Met and its key downstream Akt and ERK signaling cascades in c-Met aberrant human EBC-1 cancer cells. In 12 human cancer cell lines harboring different background levels of c-Met expression/activation, Compound 31 potently inhibited c-Met-driven cell proliferation. Furthermore, Compound 31 dose-dependently impaired c-Met-mediated cell scattering of MDCK cells.This series of c-Met inhibitors is a promising lead for development of novel anticancer drugs.

Imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-based peptidomimetics as inhibitors of Akt.

Project description:We report the design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of imidazopyridine-based peptidomimetics based on the substrate consensus sequence of Akt, an AGC family serine/threonine kinase hyperactivated in over 50% of human tumors. Our ligand-based approach led to the identification of novel substrate mimetic inhibitors of Akt1 featuring an unnatural extended dipeptide surrogate. Compound 11 inhibits Akt isoforms in the sub-micromolar range and exhibits improved proteolytic stability relative to a parent pentapeptide.

Gold Catalysed Redox Synthesis of Imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine using Pyridine N-Oxide and Alkynes.

Project description:A mild, catalytic, atom economical synthesis of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines has been developed: catalytic PicAuCl2 in the presence of an acid produces a range imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines in good yield. This strategy is mild and forseen to be of particular use for the installation of stereogenic centers adjacent to the imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine ring without loss of enantiomeric excess.

Iodine catalyzed synthesis of imidazo[1,2-<i>a</i>]pyrazine and imidazo[1,2-<i>a</i>]pyridine derivatives and their anticancer activity.

Project description:An efficient iodine-catalyzed method for synthesizing imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazines and imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines via one-pot three-component condensations has been reported. The product, generated in situ by the reaction between an aryl aldehyde and 2-aminopyridine or 2-aminopyrazine, undergoes [4 + 1] cycloaddition with tert-butyl isocyanide, affording the corresponding imidazopyrazine and imidazopyridine derivatives in good yields. The photophysical properties of these new fluorescent derivatives are also presented. The anti-cancer activities of the synthesized compounds (10a-m) and (12a-l) were evaluated against four cancer cells (Hep-2, HepG2, MCF-7, A375) and the normal Vero cell. Significant anti-cancer activities were observed and compared with the standard drug Doxorubicin. In vitro experimental results revealed that compound 12b is a promising lead with IC50 values of 11 μM, 13 μM, 11 μM, 11 μM, and 91 μM against Hep-2, HepG2, MCF-7, A375, and Vero, respectively.

Identification of novel imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine inhibitors targeting M. tuberculosis QcrB.

Project description:Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a major human pathogen and the causative agent for the pulmonary disease, tuberculosis (TB). Current treatment programs to combat TB are under threat due to the emergence of multi-drug and extensively-drug resistant TB. Through the use of high throughput whole cell screening of an extensive compound library a number of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine (IP) compounds were obtained as potent lead molecules active against M. tuberculosis and Mycobacterium bovis BCG. The IP inhibitors (1-4) demonstrated minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) in the range of 0.03 to 5 µM against a panel of M. tuberculosis strains. M. bovis BCG spontaneous resistant mutants were generated against IP 1, 3, and 4 at 5× MIC and subsequent whole genome sequencing identified a single nucleotide polymorphism (937)ACC>(937)GCC (T313A) in qcrB, which encodes the b subunit of the electron transport ubiquinol cytochrome C reductase. This mutation also conferred cross-resistance against IP 1, 3 and 4 demonstrating a common target. Gene dosage experiments confirmed M. bovis BCG QcrB as the target where over-expression in M. bovis BCG led to an increase in MIC from 0.5 to >8 µM for IP 3. An acute murine model of TB infection established bacteriostatic activity of the IP series, which await further detailed characterization.

2-Methyl-6-(trifluoro-meth-yl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carbonitrile.

Project description:In the title compound, C(10)H(6)F(3)N(3), the imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine group is essentially planar with a maximum deviation of 0.021 (1) Å. The F atoms in the trifluoro-methyl group and the methyl H atoms are each disordered over two sets of sites with refined site occupancies of 0.68 (1):0.32 (1). In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked into infinite chains through two C-H⋯N inter-actions forming R(2) (2)(12) and R(2) (2)(8) hydrogen-bond ring motifs. These chains are stacked along the a axis.

Homology modeling and molecular docking simulation of some novel imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxamide (IPA) series as inhibitors of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Project description:BackgroundTuberculosis (TB) remains a serious global health challenge that is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis and has killed numerous people. This necessitated the urgent need for the hunt and development of more potent drugs against the fast-emerging extensively drug-resistant (XDR) and multiple-drug-resistant (MDR) M. tuberculosis strains. Mycobacterium tuberculosis cytochrome b subunit of the cytochrome bc1 complex (QcrB) was recognized as a potential drug target in M. tuberculosis (25618/H37Rv) for imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxamides whose crystal strucuture is not yet reported in the Protein Data Bank (PDB). The concept of homology modeling as a powerful and useful computational method can be applied, since the M. tuberculosis QcrB protein sequence data are available.ResultsThe homology model of QcrB protein in M. tuberculosis was built from the X-ray structure of QcrB in M. smegmatis as a template using the Swiss-Model online workspace. The modeled protein was assessed, validated, and prepared for the molecular docking simulation of 35 ligands of N-(2-phenoxy)ethyl imidazo[1,2-a] pyridine-3-carboxamide (IPA) to analyze their theoretical binding affinities and modes. The docking results showed that the binding affinity values ranged from - 6.5 to - 10.1?kcal/mol which confirms their resilience potency when compared with 6.0kcal/mol of isoniazid standard drug. However, ligands 2, 7, 22, 26, and 35 scored higher binding affinity values of - 9.60, - 9.80, - 10.10, - 10.00, and - 10.00?kcal/mol, and are respectively considered as the best ligands among others with better binding modes in the active site of the modeled QcrB protein.ConclusionThe information derived in this research revealed some potential hits and paved a route for structure-based drug discovery of new hypothetical imidazo pyridine amide analogs as anti-tubercular drug candidates.
