- Novel, Dual Target-Directed Annelated Xanthine Derivatives Acting on Adenosine Receptors and Monoamine Oxidase B
-
Annelated purinedione derivatives have been shown to act as possible multiple-target ligands, addressing adenosine receptors and monoaminooxidases. In this study, based on our previous results, novel annelated pyrimido- and diazepino[2,1-f]purinedione derivatives were designed as dual-target-directed ligands combining A2A adenosine receptor (AR) antagonistic activity with blocking monoamine oxidase B. A library of 19 novel compounds was synthesized and biologically evaluated in radioligand binding studies at AR subtypes and for their ability to inhibit MAO-B. This allowed 9-(2-chloro-6-fluorobenzyl)-3-ethyl-1-methyl-6,7,8,9-tetrahydropyrimido[2,1-f]purine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione (13 e; Ki human A2AAR: 264 nM and IC50 human MAO-B: 243 nM) to be identified as the most potent dual-acting ligand from this series. ADMET parameters were estimated in vitro, and analysis of the structure-activity relationships was complemented by molecular-docking studies based on previously published X-ray structures of the protein targets. Such dual-acting ligands, by selectively blocking A2A AR, accompanied by the inhibition of dopamine metabolizing enzyme MAO-B, might provide symptomatic and neuroprotective effects in, among others, the treatment of Parkinson disease.

- Separation and identification of an impurity from the istradefylline intermediate
-
Istradefylline is a selective adenosine antagonist for the A2a receptor, and it is used to treat the Parkinson's disease and improve dyskinesia in the early stage of the Parkinson's disease. An impurity in the istradefylline intermediate A1 (6-amino-1,3-diethyl-2,4-(1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione) was identified by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC); it was separated by preparative HPLC and further characterized by UV, IR, MS, NMR, 2D NMR and single-crystal XRD analyses. The impurity was identified as (E)-N-ethyl-2-cyano-3-ethylamino-2-butenamide, which originated from the synthetic process of the intermediate A1. The structure of this impurity might affect the efficiency and safety of istradefylline; therefore, the research and control of this impurity are necessary for ensuring the quality of istradefylline.

- Inhibitory Effects of New Mercapto Xanthine Derivatives in Human mcf7 and k562 Cancer Cell Lines
-
A series of new 2-methyl-2-[(1,3-Diethyl-2,6-dioxo-2,3,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-purin-8-yl)thio]-N- substituted arylacetamides were synthesized. The antitumor activity of these purine based compounds were evaluated on breast cancer (MCF7) and leukemic cancer (K562) cell lines via cell viability assay utilizing the tetrazolium dye 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT). These results were substantiated using computer docking experiments (LigandFit docking engine and PMF scoring function) which predict that the antitumor activity of these new compounds may be attributable to their abilities to effectively bind and block oncogenic tyrosine kinases, particularly bcr/abl.

- Novel adenosine A2A receptor ligands: A synthetic, functional and computational investigation of selected literature adenosine A2A receptor antagonists for extending into extracellular space
-
Growing evidence has suggested a role in targeting the adenosine A 2A receptor for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. The literature compounds KW 6002 (2) and ZM 241385 (5) were used as a starting point from which a series of novel ligands targeting the adenosine A2A receptor were synthesized and tested in a recombinant human adenosine A2A receptor functional assay. In order to further explore these molecules, we investigated the biological effects of assorted linkers attached to different positions on selected adenosine A2A receptor antagonists, and assessed their potential binding modes using molecular docking studies. The results suggest that linking from the phenolic oxygen of selected adenosine A2A receptor antagonists is relatively well tolerated due to the extension towards extracellular space, and leads to the potential of attaching further functionality from this position.

- Novel 1,3-disubstituted 8-(1-benzyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl) xanthines: High affinity and selective A2B adenosine receptor antagonists
-
Adenosine has been suggested to induce bronchial hyperresponsiveness in asthmatics, which is believed to be an A2B adenosine receptor (AdoR) mediated pathway. We hypothesize that a selective, high-affinity A2B AdoR antagonist may provide therapeutic benefit in the treatment of asthma. In an attempt to identify a high-affinity, selective antagonist for the A 2B AdoR, we synthesized 8-(C-4-pyrazolyl) xanthines. Compound 22, 8-(1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-1,3-dipropyl xanthine, is a N-1 unsubstituted pyrazole derivative that has favorable binding affinity (Ki = 9 nM) for the A2B AdoR, but it is only 2-fold selective versus the A1 AdoR. Introduction of a benzyl group at the N-1-pyrazole position of 22 resulted in 19, which had moderate selectivity. The initial focus of the SAR study was on the preparation of substituted benzyl derivatives of 19 because the corresponding phenyl, phenethyl, and phenpropyl derivatives showed a decrease in A2B AdoR affinity and selectivity relative to 19. The preferred substitution on the phenyl ring of 19 contains an electron-withdrawing group, specifically F or CF3 at the m-position, as in 33 and 36 respectively, increases the selectivity while retaining the affinity for the A2B AdoR. Exploring disubstitutions on the phenyl ring of derivatives 33 and 36 led to the 2-chloro-5-trifluoromethylphenyl derivative 50, which retained the A2B AdoR affinity but enhanced the selectivity relative to 36. After optimization of the substitution on the 8-pyrazole xanthine, 1,3-disubstitution of the xanthine core was explored with methyl, ethyl, butyl, and isobutyl groups. In comparison to the corresponding dipropyl analogues, the smaller 1,3-dialkyl groups (methyl and ethyl) increased the A2B AdoR binding selectivity of the xanthine derivatives while retaining the affinity. However, the larger 1,3-dialkyl groups (isobutyl and butyl) resulted in a decrease in both A2B AdoR affinity and selectivity. This final SAR optimization led to the discovery of 1,3-dimethyl derivative 60, 8-(1-(3-(trifluoromethyl) benzyl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-1,3-dimethyl xanthine, a high-affinity (Ki = 1 nM) A2B AdoR antagonist with high selectivity (990-, 690-, and 1000-) for the human A1, A2A, and A3 AdoRs.

- Multigram-Scale Syntheses, Stability, and Photoreactions of A2A Adenosine Receptor Antagonists with 8-Styrylxanthine Structure: Potential Drugs for Parkinson's Disease
-
The improved multigram-scale syntheses of the important 8-styrylxanthine A2A adenosine receptor antagonist MSX-2 (8), its water-soluble prodrug MXS-3 (9), and KW-6002 (16) are described. N-Alkylation reactions at different positions of uracil derivatives were optimized. Two different methods for xanthine formation from 6-amino-5-cinnainoylaminouracil precursors were investigated, (a) the elimination of water by alkaline catalysis and (b) hexamethyldisilazane as a condensing agent; the latter was found to be superior. The photosensitivity of 8-styrylxanthines was studied. The (E)-configurated stryrylxanthine MSX-2 (8) isomerized in diluted solution, and the resulting (Z)-isomer (10a) was isolated and characterized. Furthermore, we describe for the first time that solid 8-styrylxanthines can dimerize upon exposition to daylight or irradiation with UV light. The resulting cyclobutane derivatives with head-to-tail (syn) configuration exhibited a considerably lower A 2A adenosine receptor affinity than their parent compounds. The dimerization product of MSX-2 was a moderately potent nonselective A 1 and A2A antagonist (Ki(Ai) = 273 nM, Ki(A2A) = 175 nM) while the dimer of the related compound KW-6002 was inactive at A1 and only weakly active at A 2A adenosine receptors (Ki = 1.57 μM). The light sensitivity of 8-styrylxanthine derivatives, not only in solution, but also in the solid state, has to be considered when using those compounds as pharmacological tools or drugs.
