- Discovery and Characterization of Potent Dual P-Glycoprotein and CYP3A4 Inhibitors: Design, Synthesis, Cryo-EM Analysis, and Biological Evaluations
-
Targeted concurrent inhibition of intestinal drug efflux transporter P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and drug metabolizing enzyme cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) is a promising approach to improve oral bioavailability of their common substrates such as docetaxel, while avoiding side effects arising from their pan inhibitions. Herein, we report the discovery and characterization of potent small molecule inhibitors of P-gp and CYP3A4 with encequidar (minimally absorbed P-gp inhibitor) as a starting point for optimization. To aid in the design of these dual inhibitors, we solved the high-resolution cryo-EM structure of encequidar bound to human P-gp. The structure guided us to prudently decorate the encequidar scaffold with CYP3A4 pharmacophores, leading to the identification of several analogues with dual potency against P-gp and CYP3A4. In vivo, dual P-gp and CYP3A4 inhibitor 3a improved the oral absorption of docetaxel by 3-fold as compared to vehicle, while 3a itself remained poorly absorbed.

- Pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4] benzodiazepine-3,11-diones protect SHSY-5Y cells from Cd-induced apoptosis involving suppression of endoplasmic reticulum stress
-
Cadmium (Cd) is a potent toxic heavy metal, some studies showed that Cd-induced apoptosis is through ER stress pathway. Compounds of pyrrolo[2,1–c][1,4]benzodiazepine (PBD)-3,11-diones were discovered as potent neuroprotective agents against Cd-induced toxicity in SH-SY5Y cells for the first time. In this study, twenty-six PBD-3,11-dione derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their neuroprotective activity against Cd-induced toxicity by CCK-8 assay. Their preliminary SARs studies indicated that various substituents were tolerated on the benzene ring, and alkyl heterocycles groups at the N10-position of the PBD-3,11-dione scaffold were important for the activities. Among them, compound 13c exhibited the best activity (cell viability = 68.6%, 25 μM). Furthermore, we found that the compound 13c could inhibit cadmium-induced cell apoptosis with the downregulation of the ER stress markers GRP78, CHOP, cleaved-caspase12 and cleaved-caspase3 through western blotting. The results of in silico evaluation of ADME/T properties showed that 13c exhibited medium BBB penetration level and promising toxicity profiles. These results proved the potential of 13c as a promising lead compound against Cd-induced neurotoxicity.

- Facile and efficient oxidation of quinazolines into quinazolin-4(3 H)-ones by peracetic acid
-
A new approach to synthesize quinazoline-4(3H)-ones was achieved by oxidation of quinazolines using peracetic acid, which possesses some advantages of economic reagents, simplified operation, high efficiency, and environmental friendliness. Application of this method allowed us to synthesize a series of quinazolin-4(3H)-ones with different substituents at 6 and 7 positions in good to excellent yields, including the key intermediates of tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as PD153035, Erlotinib, and Gefitinib.

-
A series of novel 6H-[1]benzothiopyrano[4,3-b]quinoline derivatives were prepared and evaluated for their anti-hepatitis B virus (HBV) activity and cytotoxicity in human hepatoblastoma-derived liver Hep-G2 cells. Compounds 10g, 10h, 10j, 10l and 10o were found to be potent anti-HBV compounds with IC50 values less than 50 μM. The most promising compound was 10l, with an IC50 value of 14.7 μM and a SI value of 12.4. This is the first report of the anti-HBV effects of 6H-[1]benzothiopyrano[4,3-b] quinolin-9-ols.

- Cleavage of the Methylenedioxy Ring. III. Cleavage with Sodium Benzyloxide in Dimethyl Sulfoxide
-
Cleavage of the methylenedioxy ring in aromatic formyl (1-3), nitro (4 and 5), and acetyl (30) compounds with N-sodium benzyloxide-benzyl alcohol in dimethyl sulfoxide gave 3-hydroxybenzene derivatives (19, 22-24, 26, 27, and 33).In the case of the acetyl compound 30, the 4-hydroxybenzene derivative (34) was also obtained as a minor product.Regioselective cleavage of the ring in aromatic compounds having electronwithdrawing groups with nucleophilic oxide anions is discussed.Cleavage of the ring in 1-5 and 30 with 2 N sodium methoxide in dimethyl sulfoxide-dimethylformamide was found to be useful for the practical preparation of 3-hydroxybenzene derivatives (6-10 and 31).Keywords - Cleavage of methylenedioxy ring; regioselectivity; piperonals; 3,4-methylenedioxy-nitrobenzene; 3,4-methylenedioxy-acetophenone; sodium methoxide; sodium phenoxide; sodium benzyloxide; dimethyl sulfoxide; dimethylformamide

- Synthesis and identification of the major metabolites of prazosin formed in dog and rat
-
The 6 O demethyl and 7 O demethyl analogues of the new antihypertensive drug prazosin [2 [4 (2 furoyl) piperazin 1 yl] 4 amino 6,7 dimethoxyquinazoline hydrochloride] have been unequivocally synthesized via separate ten step reaction sequences starting from isovanillin and vanillin, respectively. The 6 O demethyl derivative was found to be identical with the major prazosin metabolite formed in dog and rat, while the 7 O demethyl derivative was identical with another, less prevalent but significant metabolite. Two minor metabolites of prazosin, 2 (1 piperazinyl) 4 amino 6,7 dimethoxyquinazoline and 2,4 diamino 6,7 dimethoxyquinazoline, are also described. All four metabolites are less potent blood pressure lowering agents in dogs than prazosin but may contribute to its antihypertensive effect, since they account for a major portion of the administered dose.
