- Design, synthesis and evaluation of novel N-phenylbutanamide derivatives as KCNQ openers for the treatment of epilepsy
-
KCNQ (Kv7) has emerged as a validated target for the development of novel anti-epileptic drugs. In this paper, a series of novel N-phenylbutanamide derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated as KCNQ openers for the treatment of epilepsy. These compounds were evaluated for their KCNQ opening activity in vitro and in vivo. Several compounds were found to be potent KCNQ openers. Compound 1 with favorable in vitro activity was submitted to evaluation in vivo. Results showed that compound 1 owned significant anti-convulsant activity with no adverse effects. It was also found to posses favorable pharmacokinetic profiles in rat. This research may provide novel potent compounds for the discovery of KCNQ openers in treating epilepsy.

- Design, synthesis, and structure-activity relationship studies of novel fused heterocycles-linked triazoles with good activity and water solubility
-
Triazoles with fused-heterocycle nuclei were designed and evaluated for their in vitro activity on the basis of the binding mode of albaconazole using molecular docking, along with SAR of antifungal triazoles. Tetrahydro-[1,2,4] triazolo[1,5-a]pyrazine and tetrahydro-thiazolo[5,4-c]pyridine nuclei were preferable to the other four fused-heterocycle nuclei investigated. Potent in vitro activity, broad spectrum and better water solubility were attained when triazoles containing nitrogen aromatic heterocycles were attached to these two nuclei. The most potent compounds 27aa and 45x, with low hERG inhibition and hepatocyte toxicity, both exhibited excellent activity against Candida, Cryptococcus, and Aspergillus spp., as well as selected fluconazole-resistant strains. A high water-soluble compound 58 (the disulfate salt of 45x) displayed unsatisfactory in vivo activity because of its poor PK profiles. Mice infected with C.alb. SC5314 and C.alb. 103 (fluconazole-resistant strain) and administered with 27aa displayed significantly improved survival rates. 27aa also showed favorable pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles.
