- Novel Pyrazolo[3,4- d]pyrimidin-4-one Derivatives as Potential Antifungal Agents: Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation
-
Plant pathogenic fungi seriously threaten agricultural production. There is an urgent need to develop novel fungicides with low toxicity and high efficiency. In this study, we designed and synthesized 44 pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-one derivatives and evaluated them for their fungicidal activities. The bioassay data revealed that most of the target compounds possessed moderate to high in vitro antifungal activities. Especially compound g22 exhibited remarkable antifungal activity against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum with an EC50 value of 1.25 mg/L, close to that of commercial fungicide boscalid (EC50 = 0.96 mg/L) and fluopyram (EC50 = 1.91 mg/L). Moreover, compound g22 possessed prominent protective activity against S. sclerotiorum in vivo for 24 h (95.23%) and 48 h (93.78%), comparable to positive control boscalid (24 h (96.63%); 48 h (93.23%)). Subsequent studies indicated that compound g22 may impede the growth and reproduction of S. sclerotiorum by affecting the morphology of mycelium, destroying cell membrane integrity, and increasing cell membrane permeability. In addition, the application of compound g22 did not injure the growth or reproduction of Italian bees. This study revealed that compound g22 is expected to be developed for efficient and safe agricultural fungicides.

- Synthesis of pyrazole-carboxamides and pyrazole-carboxylic acids derivatives: Simple methods to access powerful building blocks
-
Hybrid systems containing pyrazole moiety show a wide spectrum of biological activities. To access novel hybrids with pyrazole ring, in this work we synthesized twenty pyrazole-carboxylic acids and twenty pyrazole-carboxamides, using simple synthetic methods, to be used as building blocks in the development of new structures.

- Targeting Pim Kinases and DAPK3 to Control Hypertension
-
Sustained vascular smooth muscle hypercontractility promotes hypertension and cardiovascular disease. The etiology of hypercontractility is not completely understood. New therapeutic targets remain vitally important for drug discovery. Here we report that Pim kinases, in combination with DAPK3, regulate contractility and control hypertension. Using a co-crystal structure of lead molecule (HS38) in complex with DAPK3, a dual Pim/DAPK3 inhibitor (HS56) and selective DAPK3 inhibitors (HS94 and HS148) were developed to provide mechanistic insight into the polypharmacology of hypertension. In vitro and ex vivo studies indicated that Pim kinases directly phosphorylate smooth muscle targets and that Pim/DAPK3 inhibition, unlike selective DAPK3 inhibition, significantly reduces contractility. In vivo, HS56 decreased blood pressure in spontaneously hypertensive mice in a dose-dependent manner without affecting heart rate. These findings suggest including Pim kinase inhibition within a multi-target engagement strategy for hypertension management. HS56 represents a significant step in the development of molecularly targeted antihypertensive medications. Carlson et al. use crystal structure-guided medicinal chemistry techniques to develop a dual Pim/DAPK3 inhibitor (HS56) that reduces myosin phosphorylation and contractility in smooth muscle. Their findings reveal the contribution of Pim kinases to the pathology of hypertension, suggesting a novel multi-target engagement strategy for molecularly targeted antihypertensive medications.

- Novel coumarin-pyrazole carboxamide derivatives as potential topoisomerase II inhibitors: Design, synthesis and antibacterial activity
-
The identification of novel Topoisomerase II (Topo II) inhibitors is one of the most attractive directions in the field of bactericide research and development. In our ongoing efforts to pursue the class of inhibitors, six series of 70 novel coumarin-pyrazole carboxamide derivatives were designed and synthesized. As a result of the evaluation against four destructive bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli and Salmonella. Compound 8III-k (MIC = 0.25 mg/L) showed considerable inhibitory activity than ciprofloxacin (MIC = 0.5 mg/L) against Escherichia coli and 8V-c (MIC = 0.05 mg/L) exhibited excellent antibacterial activity than ciprofloxacin (MIC = 0.25 mg/L) against Salmonella. The selected compounds (8III-k, 8V-c and 8V-k) exhibit potent inhibition against Topo II and Topo IV with IC50 values (9.4–25 mg/L). Molecular docking model showed that the compounds 8V-c and 8V-k can bind well to the target by interacting with amino acid residues. It will provide some valuable information for the commercial Topo II inhibiting bactericides.

- Lead optimization of spiropyrazolopyridones: A new and potent class of dengue virus inhibitors
-
Spiropyrazolopyridone 1 was identified, as a novel dengue virus (DENV) inhibitor, from a DENV serotype 2 (DENV-2) high-throughput phenotypic screen. As a general trend within this chemical class, chiral resolution of the racemate revealed that R enantiomer was significantly more potent than the S. Cell-based lead optimization of the spiropyrazolopyridones focusing on improving the physicochemical properties is described. As a result, an optimal compound 14a, with balanced in vitro potency and pharmacokinetic profile, achieved about 1.9 log viremia reduction at 3 × 50 mg/kg (bid) or 3 × 100 mg/kg (QD) oral doses in the dengue in vivo mouse efficacy model.

- Synthesis of 3H-pyrazolo[3,4-c]isoquinolines and thieno[3,2-c]isoquinolines via cascade imination/intramolecular decarboxylative coupling
-
A general approach for the synthesis of 3H-pyrazolo[3,4-c]isoquinolines and thieno[3,2-c]isoquinolines is described involving the implementation of a cascade imination/intramolecular decarboxylative coupling between potassium 2-amino(hetero)benzoates and 2-haloarylaldehydes. The reactions of pyrazole-based substrates require a Pd-Cu bimetallic system for superior yields whereas the thienyl-based substrates afford the products in excellent yields with a Pd-catalyst only.
