- Design, (Radio)Synthesis, and in Vitro and in Vivo Evaluation of Highly Selective and Potent Matrix Metalloproteinase 12 (MMP-12) Inhibitors as Radiotracers for Positron Emission Tomography
-
Dysregulated levels of activated matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are linked to different pathologies, such as cancer, atherosclerosis, neuroinflammation, and arthritis. Therefore, imaging of MMPs with positron-emission tomography (PET) represents a powerful tool for the diagnosis of MMP-associated diseases. Moreover, to distinguish between the distinct functions and roles of individual MMPs in particular pathophysiological processes, their specific imaging must be realized with radiolabeled tracers, such as fluorine-18-labeled MMP inhibitors (MMPIs). Therefore, fluorinated dibenzofuransulfonamide-based MMPIs showing excellent inhibition of MMP-12 and selectivity for MMP-12 over other MMPs were prepared. MMP-12 is a key enzyme in diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and atherosclerosis. Because of their promising in vitro properties, three candidates (4, 9, and 19) were selected from this library, and radiofluorinated analogues ([18F]4, [18F]9, and [18F]19) were successfully synthesized. Initial in vitro serum stability and in vivo biodistribution studies of the radiolabeled MMPIs with PET demonstrated their potential benefit for preferable MMP-12 imaging.

- Synthesis and biological evaluation of 2-amino-5-aryl-3-benzylthiopyridine scaffold based potent c-Met inhibitors
-
A series of 2-amino-N-benzylpyridine-3-carboxnamides, 2-amino-N- benzylpyridine-3-sulfonamides and 2-amino-3-benzylthiopyridines against c-Met were designed by means of bioisosteric replacement and docking analysis. Optimization of the 2-amino-3-benzylthiopyridine scaffold led to the identification of compound (R)-10b displaying c-Met inhibition with an IC 50 up to 7.7 nM. In the cytotoxic evaluation, compound (R)-10b effectively inhibited the proliferation of c-Met addictive human cancer cell lines (IC50 from 0.19 to 0.71 μM) and c-Met activation-mediated cell metastasis. At a dose of 100 mg/Kg, (R)-10b evidently inhibited tumor growth (45%) in NIH-3T3/TPR-Met xenograft model. Of note, (R)-10b could overcome c-Met-activation mediated gefitinib-resistance, which indicated its potential use for drug combination. Taken together, 2-amino-3-benzylthiopyridine scaffold was first disclosed and exhibited promising pharmacological profiles against c-Met, which left room for further exploration.

A 1,4-substituted cyclic amine derivative represented by the following formula or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof: wherein A, B, C, D, T, Y, and Z each represent a methine or a nitrogen linkage; R1, R2, R3, R4, and R5 each represent a substituent; n represents 0 or an integer of 1 to 3; m represents 0 or an integer of 1 to 6; and p represents an integer of 1 to 3. The compounds have serotonin antagonism. They are therefore clinically useful as medicaments, in particular, for treating, ameliorating, and preventing spastic paralysis. They are also useful as central muscle relaxants for ameliorating myotonia.
