Synthesis and evaluation of AKR1C inhibitory properties of A-ring halogenated oestrone derivatives.

ABSTRACT: Enzymes AKR1C regulate the action of oestrogens, androgens, and progesterone at the pre-receptor level and are also associated with chemo-resistance. The activities of these oestrone halides were investigated on recombinant AKR1C enzymes. The oestrone halides with halogen atoms at both C-2 and C-4 positions (13β-, 13α-methyl-17-keto halogen derivatives) were the most potent inhibitors of AKR1C1. The lowest IC₅₀ values were for the 13α-epimers 2_2I,4Br and 2_2I,4Cl (IC₅₀, 0.7 μM, 0.8 μM, respectively), both of which selectively inhibited the AKR1C1 isoform. The 13α-methyl-17-keto halogen derivatives 2_2Br and 2_4Cl were the most potent inhibitors of AKR1C2 (IC₅₀, 1.5 μM, 1.8 μM, respectively), with high selectivity for the AKR1C2 isoform. Compound 1_2Cl,4Cl showed the best AKR1C3 inhibition, and it also inhibited AKR1C1 (Ki: AKR1C1, 0.69 μM; AKR1C3, 1.43 μM). These data show that halogenated derivatives of oestrone represent a new class of potent and selective AKR1C inhibitors as lead compounds for further optimisations.

Synthesis and evaluation of anticancer activities of 2- or 4-substituted 3-(<i>N</i>-benzyltriazolylmethyl)-13α-oestrone derivatives.

Project description:2- or 4-Substituted 3-N-benzyltriazolylmethyl-13α-oestrone derivatives were synthesised via bromination of ring A and subsequent microwave-assisted, Pd-catalysed C(sp2)-P couplings. The antiproliferative activities of the newly synthesised brominated and phosphonated compounds against a panel of human cancer cell lines (A2780, MCF-7, MDA-MB 231) were investigated by means of MTT assays. The most potent compound, the 3-N-benzyltriazolylmethyl-4-bromo-13α-oestrone derivative exerted substantial selective cell growth-inhibitory activity against A2780 cell line with a submicromolar IC50 value. Computational calculations reveal strong interactions of the 4-bromo derivative with both colchicine and taxoid binding sites of tubulin. Disturbance of tubulin function has been confirmed by photometric polymerisation assay.

Design, synthesis and cholinesterase inhibitory properties of new oxazole benzylamine derivatives.

Project description:The enzymes acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) are primary targets in attenuating the symptoms of neurodegenerative diseases. Their inhibition results in elevated concentrations of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine which supports communication among nerve cells. It was previously shown for trans-4/5-arylethenyloxazole compounds to have moderate AChE and BChE inhibitory properties. A preliminary docking study showed that elongating oxazole molecules and adding a new NH group could make them more prone to bind to the active site of both enzymes. Therefore, new trans-amino-4-/5-arylethenyl-oxazoles were designed and synthesised by the Buchwald-Hartwig amination of a previously synthesised trans-chloro-arylethenyloxazole derivative. Additionally, naphthoxazole benzylamine photoproducts were obtained by efficient photochemical electrocyclization reaction. Novel compounds were tested as inhibitors of both AChE and BChE. All of the compounds exhibited binding preference for BChE over AChE, especially for trans-amino-4-/5-arylethenyl-oxazole derivatives which inhibited BChE potently (IC50 in µM range) and AChE poorly (IC50≫100 µM). Therefore, due to the selectivity of all of the tested compounds for binding to BChE, these compounds could be applied for further development of cholinesterase selective inhibitors.HIGHLIGHTSSeries of oxazole benzylamines were designed and synthesisedThe tested compounds showed binding selectivity for BChENaphthoxazoles were more potent AChE inhibitors.

Synthesis and Evaluation of NF-κB Inhibitory Activity of Mollugin Derivatives.

Project description:(1) Background: Nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) is an important transcriptional regulator that regulates the inflammatory pathway and plays a key role in cellular inflammatory and immune responses. The presence of a high concentration of NF-κB is positively correlated with the severity of inflammation. Therefore, the inhibition of this pathway is an important therapeutic target for the treatment of various types of inflammation; (2) Methods: we designed and synthesized 23 mollugin derivatives and evaluated their inhibitory activity against NF-κB transcription; (3) Results: Compound 6d exhibited the most promising inhibitory activity (IC50 = 3.81 µM) and did not show any significant cytotoxicity against the tested cell lines. Investigation of the mechanism of action indicated that 6d down-regulated NF-κB expression, possibly by suppressing TNF-α-induced expression of the p65 protein. Most of the compounds exhibited potent anti-inflammatory activity. Compound 4f was the most potent compound with 83.08% inhibition of inflammation after intraperitoneal administration, which was more potent than mollugin and the reference drugs (ibuprofen and mesalazine). ADMET prediction analysis indicated that compounds 6d and 4f had good pharmacokinetics and drug-like behavior; (4) Conclusions: Several series of mollugin derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for NF-κB inhibitory activity and toxicity. These results provide an initial basis for the development of 4f and 6d as potential anti-inflammatory agents.

Synthesis and dopamine receptor pharmacological evaluations on ring C ortho halogenated 1-phenylbenzazepines.

Project description:A series of 1-phenylbenzazepines containing bromine or chlorine substituents at the ortho position of the appended phenyl ring (2'-monosubstituted or 2',6'- disubstituted patterns) were synthesized and evaluated for affinity towards dopamine D1R, D2R and D5R. As is typical of the 1-phenylbenzazepine scaffold, the compounds displayed selectivity towards D1R and D5R; analogs generally lacked affinity for D2R. Interestingly, 2',6'-dichloro substituted analogs showed modest D5R versus D1R selectivity whereas this selectivity was reversed in compounds with a 2'-halo substitution pattern. Compound 10a was identified as a D1R antagonist (Ki = 14 nM; IC50 = 9.4 nM).

Synthesis, biological evaluation, and radioiodination of halogenated closo-carboranylthymidine analogues.

Project description:The synthesis and initial biological evaluation of 3-carboranylthymidine analogues (3CTAs) that are (radio)halogenated at the closo-carborane cluster are described. Radiohalogenated 3CTAs have the potential to be used in the radiotherapy and imaging of cancer because they may be selectively entrapped in tumor cells through monophosphorylation by human thymidine kinase 1 (hTK1). Two strategies for the synthesis of a (127)I-labeled form of a specific 3CTA, previously designated as N5, are described: (1) direct iodination of N5 with iodine monochloride and aluminum chloride to obtain N5-(127)I and (2) initial monoiodination of o-carborane to 9-iodo-o-carborane followed by its functionalization to N5-(127)I. The former strategy produced N5-(127)I in low yields along with di-, tri-, and tetraiodinated N5 as well as decomposition products, whereas the latter method produced only N5-(127)I in high yields. N5-(127)I was subjected to nucleophilic halogen- and isotope-exchange reactions using Na(79/81)Br and Na(125)I, respectively, in the presence of Herrmann's catalyst to obtain N5-(79/81)Br and N5-(125)I, respectively. Two intermediate products formed using the second strategy, 1-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-9-iodo-o-carborane and 1-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-12-iodo-o-carborane, were subjected to X-ray diffraction studies to confirm that substitution at a single carbon atom of 9-iodo-o-carborane resulted in the formation of two structural isomers. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of halogen- and isotope-exchange reactions of B-halocarboranes that have been conjugated to a complex biomolecule. Human TK1 phosphorylation rates of N5, N5-(127)I, and N5-(79/81)Br ranged from 38.0% to 29.6% relative to that of thymidine, the endogenous hTK1 substrate. The in vitro uptake of N5, N5-(127)I, and N5-(79/81)Br in L929 TK1(+) cells was 2.0, 1.8, and 1.4 times greater than that in L929 TK1(-) cells.

Evaluation of A-ring fused pyridine d-modified androstane derivatives for antiproliferative and aldo-keto reductase 1C3 inhibitory activity.

Project description:New A-ring pyridine fused androstanes in 17a-homo-17-oxa (d-homo lactone), 17?-picolyl or 17(E)-picolinylidene series were synthesized and validated by X-ray crystallography, HRMS, IR and NMR spectroscopy. Novel compounds 3, 5, 8 and 12 were prepared by treatment of 4-en-3-one or 4-ene-3,6-dione d-modified androstane derivatives with propargylamine catalyzed by Cu(ii), and evaluated for potential anticancer activity in vitro using human cancer cell lines and recombinant targets of steroidal anti-cancer drugs. Pyridine fusion to position 3,4 of the A-ring may dramatically enhance affinity of 17?-picolyl compounds for CYP17 while conferring selective antiproliferative activity against PC-3 cells. Similarly, pyridine fusion to the A-ring of steroidal d-homo lactones led to identification of new inhibitors of aldo-keto reductase 1C3, an enzyme targeted in acute myeloid leukemia, breast and prostate cancers. One A-pyridine d-lactone steroid 5 also has selective submicromolar antiproliferative activity against HT-29 colon cancer cells. None of the new derivatives have affinity for estrogen or androgen receptors in a yeast screen, suggesting negligible estrogenicity and androgenicity. Combined, our results suggest that A-ring pyridine fusions have potential in modulating the anticancer activity of steroidal compounds.

Synthesis and molecular modeling of novel tetrahydro-?-carboline derivatives with phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitory and anticancer properties.

Project description:New derivatives based upon the tetrahydro-?-carboline-hydantoin and tetrahydro-?-carboline-piperazinedione scaffolds were synthesized. All compounds were evaluated for their ability to inhibit PDE5 in vitro, and numerous compounds with IC(50) values in the low nanomolar range were identified including compounds derived from l-tryptophan. Compounds with high potency versus PDE5 were then evaluated for inhibitory activity against other PDEs to assess isozyme selectivity. Compound 5R,11aS-5-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-ethyl-5,6,11,11a-tetrahydro-1H-imidazo[1',5':1,6]pyrido[3,4-b]indole-1,3(2H)dione 14 showed a selectivity index of >200 for cGMP hydrolysis by PDE5 versus PDE11. Meanwhile, 6R,12aR-6-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-ethyl-2,3,6,7,12,12a-hexahydropyrazino[1',2':1,6]pyrido[3,4-b]indole-1,4dione 45 demonstrated strong potency for inhibition of PDE11 with an IC(50) value of 11 nM, representing the most potent PDE11 inhibitor thus far reported. Docking experiments differentiated between active and inactive analogues and revealing the conformational, steric, and lipophilic necessities for potent PDE5 inhibition. Many derivatives, including potent PDE5 inhibitors, were able to inhibit the growth of the MDA-MB-231 breast tumor cell line with low micromolar potency.

Synthesis and evaluation of the anti-inflammatory properties of selenium-derivatives of celecoxib.

Project description:Celecoxib is a selective cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 inhibitor used to treat inflammation, while selenium is known to down-regulate the transcription of COX-2 and other pro-inflammatory genes. To expand the anti-inflammatory property, wherein celecoxib could inhibit pro-inflammatory gene expression at extremely low doses, we incorporated selenium (Se) into two Se-derivatives of celecoxib, namely; selenocoxib-2 and selenocoxib-3. In vitro kinetic assays of the inhibition of purified human COX-2 activity by these compounds indicated that celecoxib and selenocoxib-3 had identical K(I) values of 2.3 and 2.4?M; while selenocoxib-2 had a lower K(I) of 0.72?M. Furthermore, selenocoxib-2 inhibited lipopolysaccharide-induced activation of NF-?B leading to the down-regulation of expression of COX-2, iNOS, and TNF? more effectively than selenocoxib-3 and celecoxib in RAW264.7 macrophages and murine bone marrow-derived macrophages. Studies with rat liver microsomes followed by UPLC-MS-MS analysis indicated the formation of selenenylsulfide conjugates of selenocoxib-2 with N-acetylcysteine. Selenocoxib-2 was found to release minor amounts of Se that was effectively inhibited by the CYP inhibitor, sulphaphenazole. While these studies suggest that selenocoxib-2, but not celecoxib and selenocoxib-3, targets upstream events in the NF-?B signaling axis, the ability to effectively suppress NF-?B activation independent of cellular selenoprotein synthesis opens possibilities for a new generation of COX-2 inhibitors with significant and broader anti-inflammatory potential.

Synthesis of IrIII Hydrido Complexes by Oxidative Addition of Halogenated Theophylline and Adenine Derivatives.

Project description:The IrIII hydrido complexes [1] and [2] have been synthesized by the regioselective oxidative addition of the N7-H bond of 8-halogenotheophyllines to [IrCl(coe)2]2 in the presence of PPh3. The use of dppf in this reaction yielded the bimetallic IrIII/FeII hydrido complexes [3] and [4]. X-ray diffraction studies confirmed that complexes [1]-[4] feature a theophyllinato ligand coordinated to the metal center in the rarely observed, chelating fashion via the N7 and O1 atoms. In addition, 8-bromoadenine reacts with [IrCl(coe)2]2 in the presence of PPh3 to form the IrIII hydrido complex [5] which features one anionic 8-bromoadeninato and one neutral 8-bromoadenine ligand linked by an intramolecular hydrogen bond. Complex [5] was characterized by high-resolution mass spectrometry and an X-ray diffraction analysis but could not be analyzed by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy because of its low solubility.
