- Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of conformationally constrained analogues of naphthol AS-E as inhibitors of CREB-mediated gene transcription
-
Cyclic AMP response element binding protein (CREB) is often dysregulated in cancer cells and is an attractive cancer drug target. Previously, we described naphthol AS-E (1) as a small molecule inhibitor of CREB-mediated gene transcription. To understand its bioactive conformation, a series of conformationally constrained analogues of 1 were designed and synthesized. Biological evaluation of these analogues suggests that the global energy minimum of 1 is the likely bioactive conformation.

- Hydroxamic acid inhibitors of 5-lipoxygenase: Quantitative structure-activity relationships
-
An evaluation of the quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR) for more than 100 hydroxamic acids revealed that the primary physicochemical feature influencing the in vitro 5-lipoxygenase inhibitory potencies of these compounds is the hydrophobicity of the molecule. A significant correlation was observed between the octanol-water partition coefficient of the substituent attached to the carbonyl of the hydroxamate and in vitro inhibitory activity. This correlation held for hydroxamic acids of diverse structure and with potencies spanning 4 orders of magnitude. Although the hydrophobicity may be packaged in a variety of structural ways and still correlate with potency, the QSAR study revealed two major exceptions. Specifically, the hydrophobicity of portions of compounds in the immediate vicinity of the hydroxamic acid functionally does not appear to contribute to increased inhibition and the hydrophobicity of fragments beyond approximately 12 A from the hydroxamate do not influence potency. The QSAR study also demonstrated that inhibitory activity was enhanced when there was an alkyl group on the hydroxamate nitrogen, when electron-withdrawing substituents were present and when the hydroxamate was conjugated to an aromatic system. These observations provide a simple description of the lipoxygenase-hydroxamic acid binding site.

- Hydroxamic acid and pharmaceutical preparations containing the same
-
Hydroxamic acids, pharmaceutical preparations containing the same, new ω(2''-naphthoxy)-alkylhydroxamic acids as well as a process for their production are disclosed. The new compounds display antiasthmatic and further pharmacologically valuable characteristics. They are prepared by reacting the corresponding carboxylic acid ester or amide with hydroxylamine or its salt under the described conditions into compounds of Formula I,R--CO--NH--OH.The compounds of Formula I are useful in human and veterinary medicine as medicaments the active principal of which is the inhibition of lipoxygenase, thus as antiasthmatic, antianaphylactic, antiphlogistic, antirheumatic and antithrombotic preparations.
