Synthesis and structure-activity relationship study of new biaryl amide derivatives and their inhibitory effects against hepatitis C virus.

ABSTRACT: A series of novel biaryl amide derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for anti-HCV virus activity. Some significant SARs were uncovered. The intensive structural modifications led to fifteen novel compounds with more potent inhibitory activity compared to the hit compounds IMB 26 and IMB1f. Among them, compound 80 was the most active, with EC₅₀ values almost equivalent to the clinical drug telaprevir (EC₅₀ = 15 nM). Furthermore, it also had a good safety and in vitro and oral pharmacokinetic (oral bioavailability in rats: 34%) profile, suggesting a highly drug-like nature. Compound 80represents a more promising scaffold for anti-HCV virus activity for further study.

Sulfur(vi) fluoride exchange as a key reaction for synthesizing biaryl sulfate core derivatives as potent hepatitis C virus NS5A inhibitors and their structure-activity relationship studies.

Project description:Extremely potent, new hepatitis C virus (HCV) nonstructural 5A (NS5A) featuring substituted biaryl sulfate core structures was designed and synthesized. Based on the previously reported novel HCV NS5A inhibitors featuring biaryl sulfate core structures which exhibit two-digit picomolar half-maximal effective concentration (EC50) values against HCV genotype 1b and 2a, the new inhibitors equipped with the sulfate core structures containing diversely substituted aryl groups were explored. In this study, highly efficient, chemoselective coupling reactions between an arylsulfonyl fluoride and an aryl silyl ether, known as the sulfur(vi) fluoride exchange (SuFEx) reaction, were utilized. Among the inhibitors prepared based on the SuFEx chemistry, compounds 14, 15 and 29 exhibited two-digit picomolar EC50 values against GT-1b and single digit or sub nanomolar activities against the HCV GT-2a strain. Nonsymmetrical inhibitors containing an imidazole and amide moieties on each side of the sulfate core structures were also synthesized. In addition, a biotinylated probe targeting NS5A protein was prepared for labeling using the same synthetic methodology.

Discovery and structure activity relationship of glyoxamide derivatives as anti-hepatitis B virus agents.

Project description:Chronic hepatitis B viral infection is a significant health problem world-wide, and currently available antiviral agents suppress HBV infections, but rarely cure this disease. It is presumed that antiviral agents that target the viral nuclear reservoir of transcriptionally active cccDNA may eliminate HBV infection. Through a series of chemical optimization, we identified a new series of glyoxamide derivatives affecting HBV nucleocapsid formation and cccDNA maintenance at low nanomolar levels. Among all the compounds synthesized, GLP-26 displays a major effect on HBV DNA, HBeAg secretion and cccDNA amplification. In addition, GLP-26 shows a promising pre-clinical profile and long-term effect on viral loads in a humanized mouse model.

Synthesis and Antiproliferative Activity against Cancer Cells of Indole-Aryl-Amide Derivatives.

Project description:Indoles constitute a large family of heterocyclic compounds widely occurring in nature which are present in a number of bioactive natural and synthetic compounds, including anticancer agents or atypical opioid agonists. As a result, exponential increases in the development of novel methods for the synthesis of indole-containing compounds have been reported in the literature. A series of indole-aryl amide derivatives 1-7 containing tryptamine or an indolylacetic acid nucleus were designed, synthesized, and evaluated as opioid ligands. These new indole derivatives showed negligible to very low affinity for μ- and δ-opioid receptor (OR). On the other hand, compounds 2, 5 and 7 showed Ki values in the low μM range for κ-OR. Since indoles are well known for their anticancer potential, their effect against a panel of tumor cell lines was tested. The target compounds were evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxicity in HT29, HeLa, IGROV-1, MCF7, PC-3, and Jurkat J6 cells. Some of the synthesized compounds showed good activity against the selected tumor cell lines, with the exception of IGROV1. In particular, compound 5 showed a noteworthy selectivity towards HT29 cells, a malignant colonic cell line, without affecting healthy human intestinal cells. Further studies revealed that 5 caused the cell cycle arrest in the G1 phase and promoted apoptosis in HT29 cells.

Synthesis, biological evaluation, and structure activity relationship (SAR) study of pyrrolidine amide derivatives as N-acylethanolamine acid amidase (NAAA) inhibitors.

Project description:N-Acylethanolamine acid amidase (NAAA) is one of the key enzymes involved in the degradation of fatty acid ethanolamides (FAEs), especially for palmitoylethanolamide (PEA). Pharmacological blockage of NAAA restores PEA levels, providing therapeutic benefits in the management of inflammation and pain. In the current work, we showed the structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies for pyrrolidine amide derivatives as NAAA inhibitors. A series of aromatic replacements or substituents for the terminal phenyl group of pyrrolidine amides were examined. SAR data showed that small lipophilic 3-phenyl substituents were preferable for optimal potency. The conformationally flexible linkers increased the inhibitory potency of pyrrolidine amide derivatives but reduced their selectivity toward fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH). The conformationally restricted linkers did not enhance the inhibitor potency toward NAAA but improved the selectivity over FAAH. Several low micromolar potent NAAA inhibitors were developed, including 4g bearing a rigid 4-phenylcinnamoyl group. Dialysis and kinetic analysis suggested that 4g inhibited NAAA via a competitive and reversible mechanism. Furthermore, 4g showed high anti-inflammatory activities in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced acute lung injury (ALI) model, and this effect was blocked by pre-treatment with the PPAR-α antagonist MK886. We anticipate that 4g (E93) will enable a new agent to treat inflammation and related diseases.

Synthesis and Structure-Activity Relationships of Imidazole-Coumarin Conjugates against Hepatitis C Virus.

Project description:A series of new conjugated compounds with a -SCH₂- linkage were synthesized by chemical methods from imidazole and coumarin derivatives. The experimental results indicate that of the twenty newly synthesized imidazole-coumarin conjugates, three of them exhibited appealing EC50 values (5.1-8.4 μM) and selective indices >20 against hepatitis C virus. Their potency and selectivity were increased substantially by modification of their structure with two factors: imidazole nucleus with a hydrogen atom at the N(1) position and coumarin nucleus with a substituent, such as Cl, F, Br, Me, and OMe. These guidelines provide valuable information for further development of conjugated compounds as anti-viral agents.

Project description:ObjectivesTo determine the inhibitory activities of flavonoids against NS2B-NS3 protease of ZIKA virus (ZIKV NS2B-NS3pro) expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) and their structure activity relationship.ResultsZIKV NS2B-NS3pro was expressed in E. coli BL21(DE3) as a 35 kDa protein. It had a K m of 26 µM with the fluorogenic peptide Dabcyl-KTSAVLQSGFRKME-Edan. The purified ZIKV NS2B-NS3pro was used for inhibition and kinetic assays to determine the activities of 22 polyphenol compounds. These polyphenol compounds at 100 µM inhibited the activity of ZIKV NS2B-NS3pro by 6.2-88%. Seven polyphenol compounds had IC50 ranging from 22 ± 0.2 to 112 ± 5.5 µM. Myricetin showed a mixed type inhibitory pattern against ZIKV NS2B-NS3pro protease. Its IC50 value was 22 ± 0.2 µM with a K i value of 8.9 ± 1.9 µM.ConclusionThe chemical structure of a polyphenol compound and its inhibitory activity against ZIKV NS2B-NS3pro can be explored to develop highly selective inhibitors against ZIKV NS2B-NS3pro.

Synthesis and structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies of 1,2,3-triazole, amide, and ester-based benzothiazole derivatives as potential molecular probes for tau protein.

Project description:The pyridinyl-butadienyl-benzothiazole (PBB3 15) scaffold was used to develop tau ligands with improved in vitro and in vivo properties for imaging applications to provide insights into the etiology and characteristics of Alzheimer's disease. The photoisomerisable trans-butadiene bridge of PBB3 was replaced with 1,2,3-triazole, amide, and ester moieties and in vitro fluorescence staining studies revealed that triazole derivatives showed good visualisation of Aβ plaques, but failed to detect the neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) in human brain sections. However, NFTs could be observed using the amide 110 and ester 129. Furthermore, the ligands showed low to high affinities (Ki = >1.5 mM-0.46 nM) at the shared binding site(s) with PBB3.

Synthesis of thioether andrographolide derivatives and their inhibitory effect against cancer cells.

Project description:A series of novel thioether andrographolide derivatives were synthesized by incorporating various aromatic (or heteroaromatic) substituents into C-12 or 14-OH. A total of 38 andrographolide derivatives were prepared and evaluated for their in vitro inhibitory activity against cancer cells. All the derivatives exhibited better activity against prostate cancer cells (PC-3) than the parent compound. Among these, compounds 6a, 8, 9, 17, 19, 31, and 32 demonstrated good activity. These compounds were further evaluated for their anticancer activities against other cancer cell lines including MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, and A549. Compounds 31 and 32 showed excellent activity against MCF-7 with an IC50 value of 0.7 and 0.6 μM, respectively. The absolute configuration of 15a was determined via single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The activity of 6a (12S), which was the precursor of 15a, was better than that of the diastereoisomer 6b (12R). Moreover, the preliminary structure-activity relationship has been summarized. The results obtained herein are very important for further optimization of andrographolide.

Design, synthesis, and inhibitory activity of hydroquinone ester derivatives against mushroom tyrosinase.

Project description:Tyrosinase is a widely distributed copper-containing enzyme found in various organisms, playing a crucial role in the process of melanin production. Inhibiting its activity can reduce skin pigmentation. Hydroquinone is an efficient inhibitor of tyrosinase, but its safety has been a subject of debate. In this research, a scaffold hybridization strategy was employed to synthesize a series of hydroquinone-benzoyl ester analogs (3a-3g). The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their inhibitory activity against mushroom tyrosinase (mTyr). The results revealed that these hydroquinone-benzoyl ester analogs exhibited inhibitory activity against mTyr, with compounds 3a-3e displaying higher activity, with compound 3b demonstrating the highest potency (IC50 = 0.18 ± 0.06 μM). Kinetic studies demonstrated that the inhibition of mTyr by compounds 3a-3e was reversible, although their inhibition mechanisms varied. Compounds 3a and 3c exhibited non-competitive inhibition, while 3b displayed mixed inhibition, and 3d and 3e showed competitive inhibition. UV spectroscopy analysis indicated that none of these compounds chelated with copper ions in the active center of the enzyme. Molecular docking simulations and molecular dynamics studies revealed that compounds 3a-3e could access the active pocket of mTyr and interact with amino acid residues in the active site. These interactions influenced the conformational flexibility of the receptor protein, subsequently affecting substrate-enzyme binding and reducing enzyme catalytic activity, in line with experimental findings. Furthermore, in vitro melanoma cytotoxicity assay of compound 3b demonstrated its higher toxicity to A375 cells, while displaying low toxicity to HaCaT cells, with a dose-dependent effect. These results provide a theoretical foundation and practical basis for the development of novel tyrosinase inhibitors.
