- New diarylsulfonamide inhibitors of Leishmania infantum amastigotes
-
New drugs against visceral leishmaniasis with mechanisms of action differing from existing treatments and with adequate cost, stability, and properties are urgently needed. No antitubulin drug is currently in the clinic against Leishmania infantum, the causative agent of visceral leishmaniasis in the Mediterranean area. We have designed and synthesized a focused library of 350 compounds against the Leishmania tubulin based on the structure-activity relationship (SAR) and sequence differences between host and parasite. The compounds synthesized are accessible, stable, and appropriately soluble in water. We assayed the library against Leishmania promastigotes, axenic, and intracellular amastigotes and found 0, 8, and 16 active compounds, respectively, with a high success rate against intracellular amastigotes of over 10%, not including the cytotoxic compounds. Five compounds have a similar or better potency than the clinically used miltefosine. 14 compounds showed a host-dependent mechanism of action that might be advantageous as it may render them less susceptible to the development of drug resistance. The active compounds cluster in five chemical classes that provide structure-activity relationships for further hit improvement and facilitate series development. Molecular docking is consistent with the proposed mechanism of action, supported by the observed structure-activity relationships, and suggests a potential extension to other Leishmania species due to sequence similarities. A new family of diarylsulfonamides designed against the parasite tubulins is active against Leishmania infantum and represents a new class of potential drugs with favorable cost, stability, and aqueous solubility for the treatment of visceral leishmaniasis (VL). These results could be extended to other clinically relevant species of Leishmania spp.

- 4-Acyl Pyrroles as Dual BET-BRD7/9 Bromodomain Inhibitors Address BETi Insensitive Human Cancer Cell Lines
-
Various malignant human diseases show disturbed signaling pathways due to increased activity of proteins within the epigenetic machinery. Recently, various novel inhibitors for epigenetic regulation have been introduced which promise a great therapeutic benefit. Inhibitors for the bromo- and extra-terminal domain (BET) family were of particular interest after inhibitors had shown a strong antiproliferative effect. More recently, the focus has increasingly shifted to bromodomains (BDs) outside the BET family. Based on previously developed inhibitors, we have optimized a small series of 4-acyl pyrroles, which we further analyzed by ITC, X-ray crystallography, selectivity studies, the NCI60 cell-panel, and GI50 determinations for several cancer cell lines. The inhibitors address both, BET and BRD7/9 BDs, with very high affinity and show a strong antiproliferative effect on various cancer cell lines that could not be observed for BD family selective inhibitors. Furthermore, a synergistic effect on breast cancer (MCF-7) and melanoma (SK-MEL-5) was proven.

- A novel method for the preparation of 3-amino-4-hydroxybenzenesulfonamide percursors of 'acid alizarin violet N' derivatives
-
Chlorosulfonation of 2-nitroanisole gave 4-methoxy-3-nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride (7) which was converted with N-butyl(3-phenylpropyl)amine into benzenesulfonamide (8). Hydrolysis of the ether and reduction of the nitro group of 8 followed by diazotization and coupling with 2-naphthol gave N-butyl-N-(3-phenylpropyl)-4-hydroxy-3-(2-hydroxy-1- naphthyl)azobenzenesulfonamide (1d).

- The 2-Chloro-3-indenylmethyloxycarbonyl and Benzinden-3-ylmethyloxycarbonyl Base-Sensitive Amino-Protecting Groups. Application to an Inverse Merrifield Approach to Peptide Synthesis
-
Two new base-labile amino-protecting groups, which are more sensitive than the FMOC function, are described: the 2-chloro-3-indenylmethyloxycarbonyl (CLIMOC) and benzinden-3-ylmethyloxycarbonyl (BIMOC) groups.The former was determined to be usable in solvents such as methylene dichloride but not in DMF, the latter in any common solvent including DMF.Key intermediate alcohols 10 and 16 were synthesized from 2-chloroindene (9) and benzindene (14).Treatment of indene with chlorine gave 8, which upon dehydrochlorination with DMF gave 9, which was then converted to 10 by standard procedure involving formylation and reduction.Benzindene was converted to its anion by means of n-butyllithium and the anion hydroxymethylated by gaseous formaldehyde.The alcohols were converted to the corresponding chloroformates and thence to succinimido ester 12 and azidoformate 18 for clean, selective protection of amino acids.Model CLIMOC- and BIMOC-amino acids were synthesized and demonstrated to be useful in carrying out a continous peptide synthesis via a two-polymer (polymeric reagents) approach.The protected amino acids were first loaded onto a phenolic polymer such as 21, and the resulting polymeric active esters were used to acylate an amino acid ester or peptide ester.The resulting protected peptide esters were deblocked via silica-based reagents 6 or 23.The acylation step was then repeated with the next amino acid, and the synthesis continued in the same way until completed.Tetrapeptide 26 and pentapeptide 27 were synthesized in this way via CLIMOC (CH2Cl2) and BIMOC (DMF) protection, respectively.These represent the first examples of clean, continous two-polymer syntheses carried out in a single solvent without the release of any low molecular weight byproducts into the solution. the fi
