Synthesis of Novel Tetrahydroisoquinoline CXCR4 Antagonists with Rigidified Side-Chains.

ABSTRACT: A structure-activity relationship study of potent TIQ15-derived CXCR4 antagonists is reported. In this investigation, the TIQ15 side-chain was constrained to improve its drug properties. The cyclohexylamino congener 15a was found to be a potent CXCR4 inhibitor (IC50 = 33 nM in CXCL12-mediated Ca2+ flux) with enhanced stability in liver microsomes and reduced inhibition of CYP450 (2D6). The improved CXCR4 antagonist 15a has potential therapeutic application as a single agent or combinatory anticancer therapy.

Synthesis and SAR of 1,2,3,4-Tetrahydroisoquinoline-Based CXCR4 Antagonists.

Project description:CXCR4 is the most common chemokine receptor expressed on the surface of many cancer cell types. In comparison to normal cells, cancer cells overexpress CXCR4, which correlates with cancer cell metastasis, angiogenesis, and tumor growth. CXCR4 antagonists can potentially diminish the viability of cancer cells by interfering with CXCL12-mediated pro-survival signaling and by inhibiting chemotaxis. Herein, we describe a series of CXCR4 antagonists that are derived from (S)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinolin-8-amine that has prevailed in the literature. This series removes the rigidity and chirality of the tetrahydroquinoline providing 2-(aminomethyl)pyridine analogs, which are more readily accessible and exhibit improved liver microsomal stability. The medicinal chemistry strategy and biological properties are described.

Discovery of tetrahydroisoquinoline-based CXCR4 antagonists.

Project description:A de novo hit-to-lead effort involving the redesign of benzimidazole-containing antagonists of the CXCR4 receptor resulted in the discovery of a novel series of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline (TIQ) analogues. In general, this series of compounds show good potencies (3-650 nM) in assays involving CXCR4 function, including both inhibition of attachment of X4 HIV-1IIIB virus in MAGI-CCR5/CXCR4 cells and inhibition of calcium release in Chem-1 cells. Series profiling permitted the identification of TIQ-(R)-stereoisomer 15 as a potent and selective CXCR4 antagonist lead candidate with a promising in vitro profile. The drug-like properties of 15 were determined in ADME in vitro studies, revealing low metabolic liability potential. Further in vivo evaluations included pharmacokinetic experiments in rats and mice, where 15 was shown to have oral bioavailability (F = 63%) and resulted in the mobilization of white blood cells (WBCs) in a dose-dependent manner.

Tetrahydroisoquinoline CXCR4 Antagonists Adopt a Hybrid Binding Mode within the Peptide Subpocket of the CXCR4 Receptor.

Project description:The rationale for the structural and mechanistic basis of a tetrahydroisoquinoline (THIQ) based series of CXCR4 antagonists is presented. Using the previously reported crystal structures which reveal two distinct binding sites of CXCR4 defined as the small molecule (IT1t or minor) binding pocket and peptide (CVX15 or major) binding pocket, we hypothesized our THIQ small molecule series could bind like either molecule in these respective receptor configurations (IT1t versus CVX15 based poses). To this end, a thorough investigation was performed through a combination of receptor mutation studies, medicinal chemistry, biological testing, conformational analysis, and flexible docking. Our findings showed that the CVX15 peptide-based CXCR4 receptor complexes (red pose) were consistently favored over the small molecule IT1t based CXCR4 receptor configurations (blue pose) to correctly explain the computational and mutational studies as well as key structural components of activity for these small molecules.

Amino-Heterocycle Tetrahydroisoquinoline CXCR4 Antagonists with Improved ADME Profiles via Late-Stage Buchwald Couplings.

Project description:This work surveys a variety of diamino-heterocycles as an isosteric replacement for the piperazine substructure of our previously disclosed piperarinyl-tetrahydroisoquinoline containing CXCR4 antagonists. A late-stage Buchwald coupling route was developed for rapid access to final compounds from commercial building blocks. Among 13 analogs in this study, compound 31 embodying an aza-piperazine linkage was found to have the best overall profile with potent CXCR4 inhibitory activity and favorable in vitro absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) properties. An analysis of the calculated physiochemical parameters (ROF, cLogD) and the experimental ADME attributes of the analogs lead to the selection of 31 for pharmacokinetic studies in mice. Compared with the clinical compound AMD11070, compound 31 has no CYP450 3A4 or 2D6 inhibition, higher metabolic stability and PAMPA permeability, greatly improved physiochemical parameters, and superior oral bioavailability (%F = 24). A binding rationale for 31 within CXCR4 was elucidated from docking and molecular simulation studies.

Discovery of novel N-aryl piperazine CXCR4 antagonists.

Project description:A novel series of CXCR4 antagonists with substituted piperazines as benzimidazole replacements is described. These compounds showed micromolar to nanomolar potency in CXCR4-mediated functional and HIV assays, namely inhibition of X4 HIV-1(IIIB) virus in MAGI-CCR5/CXCR4 cells and inhibition of SDF-1 induced calcium release in Chem-1 cells. Preliminary SAR investigations led to the identification of a series of N-aryl piperazines as the most potent compounds. Results show SAR that indicates type and position of the aromatic ring, as well as type of linker and stereochemistry are significant for activity. Profiling of several lead compounds showed that one (49b) reduced susceptibility towards CYP450 and hERG, and the best overall profile when considering both SDF-1 and HIV potencies (6-20 nM).

Discovery of N-Alkyl Piperazine Side Chain Based CXCR4 Antagonists with Improved Drug-like Properties.

Project description:A novel series of CXCR4 antagonists with piperidinyl and piperazinyl alkylamine side chains designed as butyl amine replacements are described. Several of these compounds showed similar activity to the parent compound TIQ-15 (5) in a SDF-1 induced calcium flux assay. Preliminary structure-activity relationship investigations led us to identify a series containing N-propyl piperazine side chain analogs exemplified by 16 with improved off-target effects as measured in a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) calcium flux assay and in a limited drug safety panel screen. Further efforts to explore SAR and optimize drug properties led to the identification of the N'-ethyl-N-propyl-piperazine tetrahydroisoquinoline derivative 44 and the N-propyl-piperazine benzimidazole compound 37, which gave the best overall profiles with no mAChR or CYP450 inhibition, good permeability in PAMPA assays, and metabolic stability in human liver microsomes.

Synthesis of enones, pyrazolines and pyrrolines with gem-difluoroalkyl side chains.

Project description:Starting from easily accessible gem-difluoropropargylic derivatives, a DBU-mediated isomerisation affords enones in fair yields with a gem-difluoroalkyl chain. These derivatives were used to prepare pyrazolines and pyrrolines with the desired gem-difluoroalkyl side chain by cyclocondensations in good yields and with excellent stereoselectivity. A one-pot process was also successfully developed for these sequential reactions. By carrying out various types of Pd-catalyzed coupling reactions for compounds with a p-bromophenyl substituent a route to focused chemical libraries was demonstrated.

Design, Synthesis, and In Vitro and In Vivo Antifungal Activity of Novel Triazoles Containing Phenylethynyl Pyrazole Side Chains.

Project description:A series of triazole derivatives containing phenylethynyl pyrazole moiety as side chain were designed, synthesized, and most of them exhibited good in vitro antifungal activities. Especially, compounds 5k and 6c showed excellent in vitro activities against C. albicans (MIC = 0.125, 0.0625 μg/mL), C. neoformans (MIC = 0.125, 0.0625 μg/mL), and A. fumigatus (MIC = 8.0, 4.0 μg/mL). Compound 6c also exerted superior activity to compound 5k and fluconazole in inhibiting hyphae growth of C. albicans and inhibiting drug-resistant strains of C. albicans, and it could reduce fungal burdens in mice kidney at a dosage of 1.0 mg/kg. An in vivo efficacy evaluation indicated that 6c could effectively protect mice models from C. albicans infection at doses of 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 mg/kg. These results suggested that compound 6c deserves further investigation.

Discovery and characterization of novel small-molecule CXCR4 receptor agonists and antagonists.

Project description:The chemokine CXCL12 (SDF-1) and its cognate receptor CXCR4 are involved in a large number of physiological processes including HIV-1 infectivity, inflammation, tumorigenesis, stem cell migration, and autoimmune diseases. While previous efforts have identified a number of CXCR4 antagonists, there have been no small molecule agonists reported. Herein, we describe the identification of a novel series of CXCR4 modulators, including the first small molecules to display agonist behavior against this receptor, using a combination of structure- and ligand-based virtual screening. These agonists produce robust calcium mobilization in human melanoma cell lines which can be blocked by the CXCR4-selective antagonist AMD3100. We also demonstrate the ability of these new agonists to induce receptor internalization, ERK activation, and chemotaxis, all hallmarks of CXCR4 activation. Our results describe a new series of biologically relevant small molecules that will enable further study of the CXCR4 receptor and may contribute to the development of new therapeutics.

Tetrahydroisoquinoline Phenols: Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulator Antagonists with Oral Bioavailability in Rat.

Project description:A series of tetrahydroisoquinoline phenols was modified to give an estrogen receptor downregulator-antagonist profile. Optimization around the core, alkyl side chain, and pendant aryl ring resulted in compounds with subnanomolar levels of potency. The phenol functionality was shown to be required to achieve highly potent compounds, but unusually this was compatible with obtaining high oral bioavailabilities in rat.
