- Inhibition of hedgehog signaling by stereochemically defined des-triazole itraconazole analogues
-
Dysregulation of the hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway is associated with cancer occurrence and development in various malignancies. Previous structure-activity relationships (SAR) studies have provided potent Itraconazole (ITZ) analogues as Hh pathway antagonists. To further expand on our SAR for the ITZ scaffold, we synthesized and evaluated a series of compounds focused on replacing the triazole. Our results demonstrate that the triazole region is amenable to modification to a variety of different moieties; with a single methyl group representing the most favorable substituent. In addition, nonpolar substituents were more active than polar substituents. These SAR results provide valuable insight into the continued exploration of ITZ analogues as Hh pathway antagonists.

- Design and Synthesis of Tetrazole- And Pyridine-Containing Itraconazole Analogs as Potent Angiogenesis Inhibitors
-
Itraconazole, a widely used antifungal drug, was found to possess antiangiogenic activity and is currently undergoing multiple clinical trials for the treatment of different types of cancer. However, it suffers from extremely low solubility and strong interactions with many drugs through inhibition of CYP3A4, limiting its potential as a new antiangiogenic and anticancer drug. To address these issues, a series of analogs in which the phenyl group is replaced with pyridine or fluorine-substituted benzene was synthesized. Among them the pyridine- and tetrazole-containing compound 24 has significantly improved solubility and reduced CYP3A4 inhibition compared to itraconazole. Similar to itraconazole, compound 24 inhibited the AMPK/mTOR signaling axis and the glycosylation of VEGFR2. It also induced cholesterol accumulation in the endolysosome and demonstrated binding to the sterol-sensing domain of NPC1 in a simulation study. These results suggested that compound 24 may serve as an attractive candidate for the development of a new generation of antiangiogenic drug.

- Novel Tetrazole-Containing Analogues of Itraconazole as Potent Antiangiogenic Agents with Reduced Cytochrome P450 3A4 Inhibition
-
Itraconazole has been found to possess potent antiangiogenic activity, exhibiting promising antitumor activity in several human clinical studies. The wider use of itraconazole in the treatment of cancer, however, has been limited by its potent inhibition of the drug metabolizing enzyme cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4). In an effort to eliminate the CYP3A4 inhibition while retaining its antiangiogenic activity, we designed and synthesized a series of derivatives in which the 1,2,4-triazole ring is replaced with various azoles and nonazoles. Among these analogues, 15n with tetrazole in place of 1,2,4-triazole exhibited optimal inhibition of human umbilical vein endothelial cell proliferation with an IC50 of 73 nM without a significant effect on CYP3A4 (EC50 > 20 μM). Similar to itraconazole, 15n induced Niemann-Pick C phenotype (NPC phenotype) and blocked AMPK/mechanistic target of rapamycin signaling. These results suggest that 15n is a promising angiogenesis inhibitor that can be used in combination with most other known anticancer drugs.

- Partial structures of ketoconazole as modulators of the large conductance calcium-activated potassium channel (BKCa)
-
A series of partial structures of ketoconazole has been synthesized and tested for activity on the large conductance calcium-activated potassium channel (BK) in bovine smooth muscle cells. This has provided openers and blockers of the channel. The results suggest that the phenyl and phenoxy moieties are important for interaction with BK, whereas the imidazole group is unimportant. The properties of the phenoxy moiety seem to determine whether the compounds act to open or block the channel.

-
A series of 2-(alkyl or aryl)-2-(alkyl or polyazol-1-ylmethyl)-4-(polyazol-1-ylmethyl)-1,3-dioxolanes Ia-u was synthesized and tested in vitro against pathogenic fungi in man, animals and plants: Candida albicans, Aspergillus flavus and Fusarium solani. Compounds Iq-t with two polyazol groups have an in vitro activity against these fungi with MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration) value of 5 μg mL-1.

- Synthesis and 13C NMR Spectra of cis- and trans-methyl>>-1,3-dioxolane-4-methanols
-
Syntheses and 13C nmr spectra of a number of cis and trans 2-(haloaryl)-2--4-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-dioxolanes are described.The haloaryl groups are 2,4-dichloro, 2,4-difluoro-, 4-chloro- and 4-bromophenyl.In these series, some of the cis compounds become available through crystalline bromo benzoates 5.Separations of some trans isomers are achieved through fractional crystallizations of imidazolyl benzoate nitrates 6.Stereochemical assignments are based primarily on one major 13C chemical shift difference, namely that of C-4 of the 1,3-dioxolane ring, the chemical shift of the trans isomers being 1.0-2.5 ppm downfield from that of the cis isomers.
