- Synthesis, biological evaluation and molecular modeling studies of the PPARβ/δ antagonist CC618
-
Herein, we describe the synthesis, biological evaluation and molecular docking of the selective PPARβ/δ antagonist (4-methyl-2-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-N-(2-(5-(trifluoromethyl)-pyridin-2-ylsulfonyl)ethyl)thiazole-5-carboxamide)), CC618. Results from in vitro luciferase reporter gene assays against the three known human PPAR subtypes revealed that CC618 selectively antagonizes agonist-induced PPARβ/δ activity with an IC50 Combining double low line 10.0 μM. As observed by LC-MS/MS analysis of tryptic digests, the treatment of PPARβ/δ with CC618 leads to a covalent modification of Cys249, located centrally in the PPARβ/δ ligand binding pocket, corresponding to the conversion of its thiol moiety to a 5-trifluoromethyl-2-pyridylthioether. Finally, molecular docking is employed to shed light on the mode of action of the antagonist and its structural consequences for the PPARβ/δ ligand binding pocket.

- Synthesis of Novel Thiazolyl Hydrazine Derivatives and Their Antifungal Activity
-
A series of novel thiazolyl hydrazine derivatives 3a-3o were synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro antifungal activity against six phytopathogenic strains, namely, Botryosphaeria dothidea (B. d.), Gibberella sanbinetti (G. s.), Fusarium oxysporum (F. o.), Thanatephorus cucumeris (T. c.), Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (S. s.), and Verticillium dahliae (V. d.), by the classical mycelial growth rate method. Biological assessment results showed that most of these target compounds showed good antifungal activity toward tested strains. Especially, compound 3l showed excellent antifungal activities against B. d. and G. s. with relatively lower EC50 values of 0.59 and 0.69 μg/mL, respectively, which were extremely superior to those of commercial fungicides fluopyram, boscalid, and hymexazol and were comparable to those of carbendazim. Given the excellent bioactivity of designed compounds, this kind of thiazolyl hydrazine framework can provide a suitable point for exploring highly efficient antifungal agents.

- Design, synthesis, and biological studies of novel 3-benzamidobenzoic acid derivatives as farnesoid X receptor partial agonist
-
Farnesoid X receptor (FXR), a bile acid-activated nuclear receptor, regulates the metabolism of bile acid and lipids as well as maintains the stability of internal environment. FXR was considered as a therapeutic target of liver disorders, such as drug-induced liver injury, fatty liver and cholestasis. The previous reported FXR partial agonist 6 was a suitable lead compound in terms of its high potent and low molecular size, while the docking study of compound 6 suggested a large unoccupied hydrophobic pocket, which might be provided more possibility of structure-activity relationship (SAR) study. In this study, we have performed comprehensive SAR and molecular modeling studies based on lead compound 6. All of these efforts resulted in the identification of a novel series of FXR partial agonists. In this series, compound 41 revealed the best activity and strong interaction with binding pocket of FXR. Moreover, compound 41 protected mice against acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity by the regulation of FXR-related gene expression and improving antioxidant capacity. In summary, these results suggest that compound 41 is a promising FXR partial agonist suitable for further investigation.

- Application of fragment-based screening to the design of inhibitors of Escherichia coli DsbA
-
The thiol-disulfide oxidoreductase enzyme DsbA catalyzes the formation of disulfide bonds in the periplasm of Gram-negative bacteria. DsbA substrates include proteins involved in bacterial virulence. In the absence of DsbA, many of these proteins do not fold correctly, which renders the bacteria avirulent. Thus DsbA is a critical mediator of virulence and inhibitors may act as antivirulence agents. Biophysical screening has been employed to identify fragments that bind to DsbA from Escherichia coli. Elaboration of one of these fragments produced compounds that inhibit DsbA activity in vitro. In cell-based assays, the compounds inhibit bacterial motility, but have no effect on growth in liquid culture, which is consistent with selective inhibition of DsbA. Crystal structures of inhibitors bound to DsbA indicate that they bind adjacent to the active site. Together, the data suggest that DsbA may be amenable to the development of novel antibacterial compounds that act by inhibiting bacterial bacterial virulence,drug design, EcDsbA,fragment-based drugdiscovery,medicinal chemistry

- Identification, synthesis and photo-protection evaluation of arylthiazole derivatives as a novel series of sunscreens
-
A novel series of arylthiazole derivatives have been designed, synthesized and evaluated in preventing keratinocytes cell (HaCaT) from UVB exposure induced cellar damage. The structure-activity relationship (SAR) was discussed. More importantly, compound 5a significantly protected the dorsal skin of BALB/c-nu mice against UVB-induced decrustation in vivo. The in vitro and in vivo data for these arylthiazole derivatives suggest further studies for their potential use as photo-protection agents as well as sunscreen candidates.

- Substituted 2-[(4-aminomethyl)phenoxy]-2-methylpropionic acid PPARα agonists. 1. Discovery of a novel series of potent HDLc raising agents
-
The peroxisome proliferator activated receptors PPARα, PPARγ, and PPARδ are ligand-activated transcription factors that play a key role in lipid homeostasis. The fibrates raise circulating levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and lower levels of triglycerides in part through their activity as PPARα agonists; however, the low potency and restricted selectivity of the fibrates may limit their efficacy, and it would be desirable to develop more potent and selective PPARα agonists. Modification of the selective PPARδ agonist 1 (GW501516) so as to incorporate the 2-aryl-2-methylpropionic acid group of the fibrates led to a marked shift in potency and selectivity toward PPARα agonism. Optimization of the series gave 25a, which shows EC50 = 4 nM on PPARα and at least 500-fold selectivity versus PPARγ and PPARγ. Compound 25a (GW590735) has been progressed to clinical trials for the treatment of diseases of lipid imbalance.
