- Exploration of the antibiotic potentiating activity of indolglyoxylpolyamines
-
A series of substituted di-indolglyoxylamido-spermine analogues were prepared and evaluated for intrinsic antimicrobial properties and the ability to enhance antibiotic action. As a compound class, intrinsic activity was typically observed towards Gram-positive bacteria and the fungus Cryptococcus neoformans, with notable exceptions being the 5-bromo- and 6-chloro-indole analogues which also exhibited modest activity (MIC 34–50 μM) towards the Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Several analogues enhanced the activity of doxycycline towards the Gram-negative bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa, E. coli, K. pneumoniae and Acinetobacter baumannii. Of particular note was the identification of five antibiotic enhancing analogues (5-Br, 7-F, 5-Me, 7-Me, 7-OMe) which also exhibited low to no cytotoxicity and red blood cell haemolytic properties. The mechanisms of action of the 5-Br and 7-F analogues were attributed to the ability to disrupt the integrity of, and depolarize, bacterial membranes.

- 3-(7-Azaindolyl)-4-indolylmaleimides as a novel class of mutant isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 inhibitors: Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation
-
A series of 3-(7-azainodyl)-4-indolylmaleimides was designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1)/R132H inhibitory activities. Many compounds such as 11a, 11c, 11e, 11g, and 11s exhibited favorable inhibitory effects on IDH1/R132H and were highly selective against the wild-type IDH1. Evaluation of the biological activities at the cellular level showed that compounds 11a, 11c, 11e, 11g, and 11s could effectively suppress the production of 2-hydroxyglutaric acid in U87MG cells expressing IDH1/R132H. Preliminary structure–activity relationship (SAR) and molecular modeling studies were discussed based on the experimental data obtained. These findings may provide new insights into the development of novel IDH1/R132H inhibitors.

- Synthesis of C5-tethered indolyl-3-glyoxylamide derivatives as tubulin polymerization inhibitors
-
A series of C5-tethered Indolyl-3-glyoxylamide derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their in?vitro cytotoxic activity against DU145 (prostate), PC-3 (prostate), A549 (lung) and HCT-15 (colon) cancer cell lines by employing the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Among all the synthesized compounds, compound 7f displayed cytotoxicity of IC50?=?140?nM towards DU145 cancer cell line. The treatment of DU145?cells with 7f led to inhibition of cell migration ability. Futher, the detailed studies such as acridine orange/ethidium Bromide (AO/EB), DAPI, annexin V-FITC/propidium iodide staining assay suggested that the compound 7f induced apoptosis in DU145?cells. The influence of the cytotoxic compound 7f on the cell cycle distribution was assessed on the DU145?cell line, exhibiting a cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase (hallmark of tubulin polymerization) and next inhibited tubulin polymerization with IC500.40?μM. Furthermore, the treatment with compound 7f caused collapse of mitochondrial membrane potential and elevated intracellular superoxide ROS levels in DU145?cells. Western blotting was performed to examine the levels of apoptotic proteins (Bcl-2 and Bax); the study confirmed that compound 7f induced apoptosis through apoptosis-related protein expression. Thus, these studies provided a new molecular scaffold for the further development of anticancer agents that target tubulin.

- Development of [18F]Maleimide-Based Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3β Ligands for Positron Emission Tomography Imaging
-
Dysregulation of glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) is implicated in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders. Thus, development of GSK-3β radiotracers for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging is of paramount importance, because such a noninvasive imaging technique would allow better understanding of the link between the activity of GSK-3β and central nervous system disorders in living organisms, and it would enable early detection of the enzyme’s aberrant activity. Herein, we report the synthesis and biological evaluation of a series of fluorine-substituted maleimide derivatives that are high-affinity GSK-3β inhibitors. Radiosynthesis of a potential GSK-3β tracer [18F]10a is achieved. Preliminary in vivo PET imaging studies in rodents show moderate brain uptake, although no saturable binding was observed in the brain. Further refinement of the lead scaffold to develop potent [18F]-labeled GSK-3 radiotracers for PET imaging of the central nervous system is warranted.

- Design and synthesis of bis(indolyl)ketohydrazide-hydrazones: Identification of potent and selective novel tubulin inhibitors
-
A novel series of ketohydrazide-hydrazones as analogues of naturally occurring coscinamides has been synthesized and evaluated for their anticancer activity against five cancer cell lines. Of the twenty-synthesized ketohydrazide-hydrazones, compounds, 21c, 21f, 21g, 21k and 21o showed cytotoxic effects (less than 50% cell survival) against multiple cancer cell lines when tested at a final concentration of 10?μM. IC50 of three compounds 21f, 21k and 21o was determined to be less than 5?μM for all tested cancer cell lines. Compound 21k exhibited significant anticancer activity against MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, HCT-116 and JURKAT cancer cell lines with IC50 values of 0.8?μM, 0.50?μM, 0.15?μM, and 0.22?μM, respectively. Also, 21k was found to be more selectively cytotoxic against tumor cells when compared to normal cells. Preliminary mechanism of action studies indicated that the most active compound 21k induced caspase-dependent apoptosis in cells. 21k arrests cell cycle in G2/M phase by inhibiting of tubulin polymerization (IC50?=?0.6?μM).

- Synthesis of thiazole linked indolyl-3-glyoxylamide derivatives as tubulin polymerization inhibitors
-
A series of thiazole linked indolyl-3-glyoxylamide derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxic activity against DU145 (prostate), PC-3 (prostate), A549 (lung) and HCT-15 (colon) cancer cell lines by employing the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Among all the synthesized compounds, compound 13d displayed cytotoxicity of IC50 = 93 nM towards DU145 cancer cell line. The most active compound 13d was also tested on RWPE-1 cells and was found to be safe compared to the DU145 cells. The target compounds were also evaluated for their inhibition activity of tubulin polymerization. Further, the treatment of compound 13d on DU145 cells led to the inhibition of cell migration ability. The detailed studies such as acridine orange/ethidium Bromide (AO/EB), DAPI, annexin V-FITC/propidium iodide staining assay suggested that the compound 13d induced apoptosis in DU145 cells. The influence of the cytotoxic compound 13d on the cell cycle distribution was assessed on the DU145 cell line, exhibiting a cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase. Moreover, the treatment with compound 13d caused collapse of mitochondrial membrane potential and elevated intracellular ROS levels in DU145 cells. The results from molecular modelling studies revealed that these compounds bind at the colchicine binding site of the tubulin. Thus, this new molecular scaffold could be a new lead for the development of anticancer agents that target tubulin.

- Sequential one-pot synthesis of bis(indolyl)glyoxylamides: Evaluation of antibacterial and anticancer activities
-
A series of bis(indolyl)glyoxylamides 10a-n has been designed and synthesized. In situ generated indole-3-glyoxalylchloride from the reaction of readily available indole 9 with oxalyl chloride was treated with tryptamine to produce bis(indolyl)glyoxylamides 10a-n in 82-93% yields. All the synthesized bis(indolyl)glyoxylamides were well characterized and tested for their antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains. Compounds 10d, 10g and 10i were found to display potent antibacterial activity against Gram-negative strain. Further, the cytotoxicity of bis(indolyl)glyoxylamides 10a-n were evaluated against a panel of human cancer cell lines. Of the screened analogues, compound 10f (IC50 = 22.34 μM; HeLa, 24.05 μM; PC-3, 21.13 μM; MDA-MB-231 and 29.94 μM; BxPC-3) was identified as the most potent analogue of the series. Exposure of PC-3 cells to either 10a or 10f resulted in increased levels of cleaved PARP1, indicating that bis(indolyl)glyoxylamides induce apoptosis in PC-3 cells. Most importantly, compounds 10d, 10g and 10i were completely ineffective in mammalian cells, suggesting that they target bacterial-specific targets and thus will not display any toxicity in host cells.

- Receptor binding profiles and quantitative structure-affinity relationships of some 5-substituted-N,N-diallyltryptamines
-
N,N-Diallyltryptamine (DALT) and 5-methoxy-N,N-diallyltryptamine (5-MeO-DALT) are two tryptamines synthesized and tested by Alexander Shulgin. In self-experiments, 5-MeO-DALT was reported to be psychoactive in the 12-20 mg range, while the unsubstituted compound DALT had few discernible effects in the 42-80 mg range. Recently, 5-MeO-DALT has been used in nonmedical settings for its psychoactive effects, but these effects have been poorly characterized and little is known of its pharmacological properties. We extended the work of Shulgin by synthesizing additional 5-substituted-DALTs. We then compared them to DALT and 5-MeO-DALT for their binding affinities at 45 cloned receptors and transporter proteins. Based on in vitro binding affinity, we identified 27 potential receptor targets for the 5-substituted-DALT compounds. Five of the DALT compounds had affinity in the 10-80 nM range for serotonin 5-HT1Aand 5-HT2Breceptors, while the affinity of DALT itself at 5-HT1Areceptors was slightly lower at 100 nM. Among the 5-HT2subtypes, the weakest affinity was at 5-HT2Areceptors, spanning 250-730 nM. Five of the DALT compounds had affinity in the 50-400 nM range for serotonin 5-HT1D, 5-HT6, and 5-HT7receptors; again, it was the unsubstituted DALT that had the weakest affinity at all three subtypes. The test drugs had even weaker affinity for 5-HT1B, 5-HT1E, and 5-HT5Asubtypes and little or no affinity for the 5-HT3subtype. These compounds also had generally nanomolar affinities for adrenergic α2A, α2B, and α2Creceptors, sigma receptors σ1and σ2, histamine H1receptors, and norepinephrine and serotonin uptake transporters. They also bound to other targets in the nanomolar-to-low micromolar range. Based on these binding results, it is likely that multiple serotonin receptors, as well as several nonserotonergic sites are important for the psychoactive effects of DALT drugs. To learn whether any quantitative structure-affinity relationships existed, we evaluated correlations among physicochemical properties of the congeneric 5-substituted-DALT compounds. The descriptors included electronic (σp), hydrophobic (π), and steric (CMR) parameters. The binding affinity at 5-HT1A, 5-HT1D, 5-HT7, and κ opioid receptors was positively correlated with the steric volume parameter CMR. At α2A, α2B, and α2Creceptors, and at the histamine H1receptor, binding affinity was correlated with the Hammett substituent parameter σp; higher affinity was associated with larger σpvalues. At the σ2receptor, higher affinity was correlated with increasing π. These correlations should aid in the development of more potent and selective drugs within this family of compounds.

- Synthesis and biological evaluation of 3-([1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridin-3-yl)-4-(indol-3-yl)-maleimides as potent, selective GSK-3β inhibitors and neuroprotective agents
-
A series of novel 3-([1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridin-3-yl)-4-(indol-3-yl)-maleimides were designed, prepared and evaluated for their GSK-3β inhibitory activities. Most compounds showed high potency to GSK-3β inhibition with high selectivity. Among them, compounds 7c, 7f, 7h, 7l and 7m significantly reduced GSK-3β substrate Tau phosphorylation at Ser396 in primary neurons, showing the inhibition of cellular GSK-3β. In the in vitro neuronal injury models, compounds 7c, 7f, 7h, 7l and 7m prevented neuronal death against glutamate, oxygen-glucose deprivation and nutrient serum deprivation which are associated with cerebral ischemic stroke. In the in vivo cerebral ischemia animal model, compound 7f reduced infarct size by 15% and improved the neurological deficit following focal cerebral ischemia. These findings may provide new insights into the development of novel GSK-3β inhibitors with potential neuroprotective activity.

Abstract Indolyl-3-carbonylnitriles are compounds with demonstrated utility as intermediates in organic chemistry. However, their synthesis remains a challenge, requiring the use of toxic sources of cyanide, and often proceeding in low yields. Accordingly, presented here is a new synthesis of these versatile reactants, via dehydration of easily accessible α-oxoacetamides in generally high yields under simple reaction conditions.

A series of novel 3-(furo[2,3-b]pyridin-3-yl)-4-(1H-indol-3-yl)-maleimides were designed, synthesized, and biologically evaluated for their GSK-3β inhibitory activities. Most compounds showed favorable inhibitory activities against GSK-3β protein. Among them, compounds 5n, 5o, and 5p significantly reduced GSK-3β substrate tau phosphorylation at Ser396 in primary neurons, indicating inhibition of cellular GSK-3β activity. In the in vitro neuronal injury models, compounds 5n, 5o, and 5p prevented neuronal death against glutamate, oxygen-glucose deprivation, and nutrient serum deprivation which are closely associated with cerebral ischemic stroke. In the in vivo cerebral ischemia animal model, compound 5o reduced infarct size by 10% and improved the neurological deficit. The results may provide new insights into the development of novel GSK-3β inhibitors with potential neuroprotective activity against brain ischemic stroke.

- Alpha-ethyltryptamines as dual dopamine-serotonin releasers
-
The dopamine (DA), serotonin (5-HT), and norepinephrine (NE) transporter releasing activity and serotonin-2A (5-HT2A) receptor agonist activity of a series of substituted tryptamines are reported. Three compounds, 7b, (+)-7d and 7f, were found to be potent dual DA/5-HT releasers and were >10-fold less potent as NE releasers. Additionally, these compounds had different activity profiles at the 5-HT2Areceptor. The unique combination of dual DA/5-HT releasing activity and 5-HT2Areceptor activity suggests that these compounds could represent a new class of neurotransmitter releasers with therapeutic potential.

A series of novel 3-benzisoxazolyl-4-indolyl-maleimides were synthesized and evaluated for their GSK-3β inhibitory activity. Most compounds exhibited high inhibitory potency towards GSK-3β. Among them, compound 7j with an IC50 value of 0.73 nM was the most promising GSK-3β inhibitor. Preliminary structure-activity relationships were examined and showed that different substituents on the indole ring and N1-position of the indole ring had varying degrees of influence on the GSK-3β inhibitory potency. Compounds 7c, 7f, 7j-l and 7o-q could obviously reduce Aβ-induced Tau hyperphosphorylation by inhibiting GSK-3β in a cell-based functional assay.

Search for new antimicrobial agents led to the synthesis of series of N-1, C-3 and C-5 substituted bis-indoles. Their evaluation for antifungal and antibacterial activities resulted in the optimization of pyrrolidine/morpholine/ N-benzyl moiety at the C-3 end and propane/butane/xylidine groups as linkers between two indoles for significant inhibition of microbial growth. Preliminary investigations have identified three highly potent antimicrobial agents. Dockings of these molecules in the active sites of lanosterol demethylase, dihydrofolate reductase and topoisomerase II indicate their strong interactions with these enzymes.

We report herein the chemical synthesis and biological evaluation of β-carboline alkaloid pityriacitrin and some of its new derivatives. Using tryptophan or 5-hydroxytryptophan and 5-substituted indole-3-glyoxals as the starting materials, pityriacitrin and some of its derivatives were synthesized via the acid-catalyzed Pictet-Spengler reaction and fully characterized by 1H and 13C NMR, mass spectroscopy and IR determinations. Biological studies revealed that pityriacitrin has a weak antiproliferative activity against a panel of breast and prostate cancer cell lines, whereas some of its derivatives exhibited stronger and potent activity, which was associated with induction of both cell apoptosis and necrosis.

- Labeled 3-aryl-4-indolylmaleimide derivatives and their potential as angiogenic PET biomarkers
-
In a continued effort to find a suitable PET tracer for visualization of angiogenic processes, we explored the 3,4-diarylmaleimide family, known to have high affinity and selectivity towards the VEGFR-TKs. One previously reported agent and three new halogen-containing 3,4-diarylmaleimide derivatives were synthesized. The four maleimide derivatives were evaluated for their affinity and selectivity towards the VEGFRs and exhibited promising results. An automated carbon-11 radiolabeling route with a total synthesis time of 50 min successfully labeled the lead compound, resulting in 1.55 ± 0.15 GBq of tracer with a radiochemical yield of 20 ± 2%, 96% radiochemical purity and a SA of 111 ± 22 GBq/μmol (EOB, n = 5). The tracer possessed high stability in in vitro blood stability tests and specific VEGFR-TK binding profiles in intact cell binding experiments. Tracer lipophilicity was evaluated in an n-octanol/phosphate buffer system giving a Log D7.4 of 1.99 ± 0.04. For the in vivo experiments, two animal models were used. The first was a U87 glioma tumor model, frequently reported in the literature and the second, a newly developed 293/KDR tumor model. Both models were validated for VEGFR-2 expression and used in in vivo biodistribution studies. These studies revealed low accumulation and rapid washout of the tracer from tumor tissue. High accumulation of activity in the liver prompted us to examine the tracer's in vitro stability to liver microsomes, revealing low resistance to P450 metabolism. In spite of encouraging in vitro results, the labeled lead tracer failed to accumulate in VEGFR-2 overexpressing tumors. It is possible that poor resistance to P450 metabolism reduces tracer's circulation leading to low tumor accumulation.

A combined ligand-based and structure-based approach has previously allowed us to identify NR2B/NMDA receptor antagonists containing indole scaffold. In order to further explore the main structure activity relationships of this class of derivatives we herein report the design, synthesis and biological evaluation of new analogues. Some derivatives demonstrated to produce significant anticonvulsant properties and NMDA antagonism. The most active of them (3d) showed NR2B binding affinity equipotent to that of ifenprodil. These results were also corroborated by computational studies.

- Novel and potent oxazolidinone antibacterials featuring 3-indolylglyoxamide substituents
-
Novel oxazolidinone antibacterials bearing a variety of 3-indolylglyoxamide substituents have been explored in an effort to improve the spectrum and potency of this class of agents. A subclass of this series was also made with the diversity at C-5 terminus. These derivatives have been screened against a panel of clinically relevant Gram-positive pathogens and fastidious Gram-negative organisms. Several analogs in this series were identified with in vitro activity superior to linezolid (MIC = 0.25-2 μg/mL). Compounds 10a, 10c, 10e and 10f displayed activity against linezolid resistant Gram-positive organisms (MIC = 2-4 μg/mL). Selected oxazolidinones were evaluated for in vivo efficacy against a mouse systemic infection model.

- Design, synthesis and cytotoxicity of novel podophyllotoxin derivatives
-
A series of novel podophyllotoxin derivatives were designed using association strategy and synthesized by coupling either podophyllotoxin (1) or 4β-amino podophyllotoxin (3) with substituted indol-3-yl-glyoxyl chlorides. Their structures were identified using spectroscopic techniques. These novel derivatives have been evaluated for cytotoxicity in vitro against four human cancer cell lines with comparison to the parent compounds 1, 3 and indibulin (2). Some of the compounds (7a, 7c) showed comparable cytotoxicity to that of podophyllotoxin.

- Novel, potent and selective cyclin D1/CDK4 inhibitors: Indolo[6,7-a]pyrrolo[3,4-c]carbazoles
-
The synthesis and CDK inhibitory properties of a series of indolo[6,7-a]pyrrolo[3,4-c]carbazoles is reported. In addition to their potent CDK activity, the compounds display antiproliferative activity against two human cancer cell lines. These inhibitors also effect strong G1 arrest in these cell lines and inhibit Rb phosphorylation at Ser780 consistent with inhibition of cyclin D1/CDK4.

- A versatile linkage strategy for solid-phase synthesis of N,N-dimethyltryptamines and β-carbolines
-
(matrix presented) Various tryptamines are captured by a vinylsulfonylmethyl polystyrene resin, generating a safety-catch linkage. β-Carbolines can be formed from 4 by a Pictet-Spengler reaction with the introduction of R1. Tryptamine 4 can also be derivatized by acylation or copper-mediated coupling to introduce R2. If X = Br, Suzuki coupling can be used to introduce R3. After derivatization, the indole derivatives are activated with methyl iodide and released under mild basic condition.
