- Small molecules enhance functional O-mannosylation of Alpha-dystroglycan
-
Alpha-dystroglycan (α-DG), a highly glycosylated receptor for extracellular matrix proteins, plays a critical role in many biological processes. Hypoglycosylation of α-DG results in various types of muscular dystrophies and is also highly associated with progression of majority of cancers. Currently, there are no effective treatments for those devastating diseases. Enhancing functional O-mannosyl glycans (FOG) of α-DG on the cell surfaces is a potential approach to address this unmet challenge. Based on the hypothesis that the cells can up-regulate FOG of α-DG in response to certain chemical stimuli, we developed a cell-based high-throughput screening (HTS) platform for searching chemical enhancers of FOG of α-DG from a large chemical library with 364,168 compounds. Sequential validation of the hits from a primary screening campaign and chemical works led to identification of a cluster of compounds that positively modulate FOG of α-DG on various cell surfaces including patient-derived myoblasts. These compounds enhance FOG of α-DG by almost ten folds, which provide us powerful tools for O-mannosylation studies and potential starting points for the development of drug to treat dystroglycanopathy.

- PHENYLIMIDE-CONTAINING BENZOTHIAZOLE DERIVATIVE OF ITS SALT AND PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITION COMPRISING THE SAME
-
Provided is a phenylimide-containing benzothiazole derivative or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt, a process for the preparation thereof, and a pharmaceutical composition comprising the same. The phenylimide-containing benzothiazole derivative or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt can selectively inhibit the protein-protein interaction between KRS and a laminin receptor (LR), thereby inhibiting migration of cancer cells. Therefore, the phenylimide-containing benzothiazole derivative or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt may be usefully applied for preventing or treating the diseases associated with cancer cell metastasis.

- Chrysin-benzothiazole conjugates as antioxidant and anticancer agents
-
7-(4-Bromobutoxy)-5-hydroxy-2-phenyl-4H-chromen-4-one, obtained from chrysin with 1,4-dibromobutane, was combined with a wide range of 6-substituted 2-aminobenzthiazoles, which had been prepared from the corresponding anilines with potassium thiocyanate. Free radical scavenging efficacies of newer analogues were measured using DPPH and ABTS assays, in addition to the assessment of their anticancer activity against cervical cancer cell lines (HeLa and CaSki) and ovarian cancer cell line (SK-OV-3) implementing the SRB assay. Cytotoxicity of titled compounds was checked using Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) non-cancer cell line. Overall, 6a-r indicated remarkable antioxidant power as DPPH and ABTS+ scavengers; particularly the presence of halogen(s) (6g, 6h, 6j-6l) was favourable with IC50 values comparable to the control ascorbic acid. Unsubstituted benzothiazole ring favored the activity of resultant compounds (6a and 6r) against HeLa cell line, whereas presence of chlorine (6g) or a di-fluoro group (6k) was a key to exert strong action against CaSki. Moreover, a mono-fluoro (6j) and a ketonic functionality (6o) were beneficial to display anticipated anticancer effects against ovarian cancer cell line SK-OV-3. The structural assignments of the new products were done on the basis of IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis.

- Substituted 2-benzothiazolamines as sodium flux inhibitors: Quantitative structure-activity relationships and anticonvulsant activity
-
Thirty-two aryl-substituted 2-benzothiazolamines have been tested for their ability to modulate sodium flux in rat cortical slices. A QSAR analysis, applied to these derivatives, showed a trend toward increasing potency as sodium flux inhibitors with increasing lipophilicity, decreasing size, and increasing electron withdrawal of the benzo ring substitutents. Additionally, 4- or 5-substitution of the benzo ring was found to decrease potency. The combination of increased lipophilicity, small size, and electron withdrawal severely limited which groups were tolerated on the benzo ring, thus suggesting that the optimal substitution patterns have been prepared within this series. Nine of these compounds were potent inhibitors of veratridine-induced sodium flux (NaFl). These nine compounds also proved to be anticonvulsant in the maximal electroshock (MES) assay. Fourteen additional 2-benzothiazolamines demonstrated activity in the MES screen, yet exhibited no activity in the NaFl assay. These derivatives may be interacting at the sodium channel in a manner not discernible by the flux paradigm, or they may be acting by an alternative mechanism in vivo.
