- Dual inhibitors of Interleukin-6 and acetylcholinesterase for treatment of Alzheimer's disease: Design, docking, synthesis and biological evaluation
-
Multitarget compounds intercept two or more functionally complementary pathways simultaneously, and are therefore considered to have potential in effectively treating complex multifactorial diseases like Alzheimer's disease (AD). In the present study, novel molecules are designed by coupling a chromone and a N,N-disubstituted carbamoyl amine as pharmacophore for interleukin-6 (IL-6) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition, respectively. Four series (Y1–Y4) of 40 compounds are designed by using alkyl linkers of different lengths (1–4 carbon atoms) for the coupling of the two selected pharmacophore. Docking of all designed compounds in AChE leads to the identification of twelve best fit compounds (Docking score >8.3). The data suggests that a 1- or 2-carbon atom linker is the most conducive to orient the pharmacophore for optimum binding with AChE active site. The predicted ADME properties of the 12 selected compounds suggest that these can cross the blood brain barrier (BBB) with good oral bioavailability. These compounds are synthesised and evaluated for anti-AChE activity. Five compounds, showing >45% inhibition of AChE, are further evaluated for IL-6 inhibitory activity. Compound Y1f is found to be the most potent inhibitor of both AChE and IL-6 (IC50 0.7 and 0.8 ?μM, respectively). It suggests that a chromone moiety connected to a piperidine ring through a 1-carbon atom linker may provide a useful template to medical chemists for the development of new chemical entities effective against AD.

- Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Celastrol Derivatives with Improved Cytotoxic Selectivity and Antitumor Activities
-
Cdc37 associates kinase clients to Hsp90 and promotes the development of cancers. Celastrol, a natural friedelane triterpenoid, can disrupt the Hsp90-Cdc37 interaction to provide antitumor effects. In this study, 31 new celastrol derivatives, 2a - 2d , 3a - 3g , and 4a - 4t , were designed and synthesized, and their Hsp90-Cdc37 disruption activities and antiproliferative activities against cancer cells were evaluated. Among these compounds, 4f , with the highest tumor cell selectivity (15.4-fold), potent Hsp90-Cdc37 disruption activity (IC50= 1.9 μM), and antiproliferative activity against MDA-MB-231 cells (IC50= 0.2 μM), was selected as the lead compound. Further studies demonstrated 4f has strong antitumor activities both in vitro and in vivo through disrupting the Hsp90-Cdc37 interaction and inhibiting angiogenesis. In addition, 4f exhibited less toxicity than celastrol and showed a good pharmacokinetics profile in vivo. These findings suggest that 4f may be a promising candidate for development of new cancer therapies.

- Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of 4'-aminochalcone-rivastigmine hybrids as multifunctional agents for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease
-
A series of 4'-aminochalcone-revastigmine hybrids were designed, synthesized and evaluated as multifunctional agents for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. The results showed that most of these compounds exhibited good multifunctional activities. In particular, compound 6c displayed the best inhibitory potency on acetylcholinesterase (IC50= 4.91 μM), and significant antioxidative activity with a value 2.83-fold of Trolox. The kinetic analysis of AChE inhibition revealed that 6c showed mixed-type inhibition, binding simultaneously to the catalytic active site and peripheral anionic site of AChE. In addition, 6c inhibited self-induced Aβ1-42aggregation and Cu2+-induced Aβ1-42aggregation by 89.5% and 79.7% at 25 μM respectively, as well as acted as a selective monoamine oxidase B inhibitor (IC50= 0.29 μM) and a selective biometal chelator. Furthermore, 6c could cross the blood-brain barrier in vitro. Based on these results, Compound 6c could be considered as a very promising lead compound for Alzheimer's disease.

- Synthesis of 3- and 29-substituted celastrol derivatives and structure-activity relationship studies of their cytotoxic activities
-
A series of 3-carbamate and 29-ester celastrol derivatives (compounds 1–26) were designed and synthesized. These analogues were evaluated for their cytotoxic activities against several cancer cell lines. Cytotoxicity data revealed that the properties of substituents and substitution position had important influence on cytotoxic activity. Modification of C-3 hydroxyl with size-limited groups did not reduce the activity obviously. The introduction of polarity group like piperazine could improve the solubility. Compound 23 was chosen to further evaluate anti-tumor efficacy in vivo. It showed higher inhibition rate and better safety than celastrol during in vivo experiment by intragastric administration. The preliminary antitumor studies of compound 23 in vivo showed that it might be promising for the development of new antitumor agents.

- Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation of Scutellarein Derivatives Based on Scutellarin Metabolic Mechanism in Vivo
-
Three series of scutellarein derivatives have been designed and synthesized based on metabolic mechanism of scutellarin (1) in vivo. Their thrombin inhibition activities were tested through the analyzation of prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), thrombin time (TT), and fibrinogen (FIB). The antioxidant activities of these target products were assessed by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH) assay and the ability to protect PC12 cells against H2O2-induced cytotoxicity, and their solubilities were evaluated by ultraviolet (UV) spectrophotometer. The results showed that the two isopropyl groups substituted derivative (18c) demonstrated stronger anticoagulant activity, better water solubility, and good antioxidant activity compared with scutellarein (2), which warrants further development of 18c as a promising agent for ischemic cerebrovascular disease treatment.

- Discovery and Evaluation of Clinical Candidate AZD3759, a Potent, Oral Active, Central Nervous System-Penetrant, Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor
-
Recent reports suggest that an increasing number of patients with lung cancer, especially those with activating mutations of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), also present with brain metastases and leptomeningeal metastases. These patients have poor prognosis as there are no approved drugs for these indications. Available agents have poor efficacy for these patients even at well above their standard dose. Herein, we report the discovery of (4-[(3-chloro-2-fluorophenyl)amino]-7-methoxyquinazolin-6-yl (2R)-2,4-dimethylpiperazine-1-carboxylate 1m (AZD3759), an investigational drug currently in Phase 1 clinical trial, which has excellent central nervous system penetration and which induces profound regression of brain metastases in a mouse model.

- Synthesis of scutellarein derivatives to increase biological activity and water solubility
-
In order to improve the biological activity and water solubility of scutellarin (1), some derivatives of its main metabolite (scutellarein) were designed and synthesized. All the compounds were tested for their thrombin inhibition activity through the analyzation of thrombin time (TT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin time (PT) and fibrinogen (FIB). Their antioxidant activities were assessed by measuring their scavenging capacities toward 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH) and the ability to protect PC12 cells against H2O2-induced cytotoxicity, their water solubility were also assessed by ultraviolet (UV) spectrophotometer. The results showed that compound 8b demonstrated stronger anticoagulant and antioxidant activity, better water solubility compared with scutellarein (2), which warrants it as a promising agent for the treatment of ischemic cerebrovascular disease.

- Synthesis, antileishmanial and antitrypanosomal activities of N-substituted tetrahydro-β-carbolines
-
A series of N-substituted tetrahydro-β-carbolines were synthesized and screened for antileishmanial activity through an in vitro assay that involves promastigotes and axenic amastigotes of Leishmania donovani, the causative agent for visceral leishmaniasis. The thiophen-2-yl analogs 9b and 11f and naphthyl analog 11h were found to show significant activity against promastigotes with IC50 values of 12.7, 9.1 and 22.1 μM, respectively. Analogs 9b and 11h were also effective against axenic amastigotes with IC50 values of 62.8 and 87.6 μM, respectively. The antileishmanial activity of analogs was then tested in human macrophage cell line infected with L. donovani amastigotes and 2-naphthyl linked analog 11h was found to be effective with IC50 value of 28.3 μM. Several analogs also displayed antitrypanosomal activity against Trypanosoma brucei, the causative agent for human African trypanosomiasis. Compounds 11e, 11f and 11h were more effective than others with IC50 values of 1.0, 8.9 and 10.2 μM, respectively. All synthesized analogs were not cytotoxic towards mammalian cell lines including Vero (monkey kidney fibroblasts), HEPG2 (human hepatoma cells), LLC-PK1 (pig kidney epithelial cells) and THP-1 (human macrophages).
