- Further SAR studies on natural template based neuroprotective molecules for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease
-
In our earlier paper, we described ferulic acid (FA) template based novel series of multifunctional cholinesterase (ChE) inhibitors for the management of AD. This report has further extended the structure–activity relationship (SAR) studies of this series of molecules in a calibrated manner to improve upon the ChEs inhibition and antioxidant property to identify the novel potent multifunctional molecules. To investigate the effect of replacement of phenylpiperazine ring with benzylpiperazine, increase in the linker length between FA and substituted phenyl ring, and replacement of indole moiety with tryptamine on this molecular template, three series of novel molecules were developed. All synthesized compounds were tested for their acetyl and butyryl cholinestrases (AChE and BChE) inhibitory properties. Enzyme inhibition and PAS binding studies identified compound 13b as a lead molecule with potent inhibitor property towards AChE/BChE (AChE IC50 = 0.96 ± 0.14 μM, BChE IC50 = 1.23 ± 0.23 μM) compared to earlier identified lead molecule EJMC-G (AChE IC50 = 5.74 ± 0.13 μM, BChE IC50 = 14.05 ± 0.10 μM, respectively). Molecular docking and dynamics studies revealed that 13b fits well into the active sites of AChE and BChE, forming stable and strong interactions with key residues Trp86, Ser125, Glu202, Trp 286, Phe295, Tyr 337 in AChE, and with Trp 82, Gly115, Tyr128, and Ser287 in BChE. The compound, 13b was found to be three times more potent antioxidant in a DPPH assay (IC50 = 20.25 ± 0.26 μM) over the earlier identified EJMC-B (IC50 = 61.98 ± 0.30 μM) and it also was able to chelate iron. Co-treatment of 13b with H2O2, significantly attenuated and reversed H2O2-induced toxicity in the SH-SY5Y cells. The parallel artificial membrane permeability assay-blood brain barrier (PAMPA-BBB) revealed that 13b could cross BBB efficiently. Finally, the in-vivo efficacy of 13b at dose of 10 mg/kg in scopolamine AD model has been demonstrated. The present study strongly suggests that the naturally inspired multifunctional molecule 13b may behave as a potential novel therapeutic agent for AD management.

- Development of 2-amino-4-phenylthiazole analogues to disrupt myeloid differentiation factor 88 and prevent inflammatory responses in acute lung injury
-
Myeloid differentiation primary response protein 88 (MyD88), an essential adapter protein used by toll-like receptors (TLR), is a promising target molecule for the treatment of respiratory inflammatory diseases. Previous studies explored the activities of novel 2-amino-4-phenylthiazole analogue (6) in inflammation-induced cancer, and identified the analogue as an inhibitor of MyD88 toll/interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) homology domain dimerization. Here, we describe the synthesis of 47 new analogues by modifying different sites on this lead compound and assessed their anti-inflammatory activities in lipopolysaccharide-induced mouse primary peritoneal macrophages (MPMs). The most promising compound, 15d, was found to effectively interact with MyD88 protein and prevented formation of the MyD88 homodimeric complex. Furthermore, 15d showed in vivo anti-inflammatory activity in LPS-caused model of acute lung injury. This work provides new candidates as MyD88 inhibitors to combat inflammation diseases.

- Discovery and Characterization of ACT-451840: an Antimalarial Drug with a Novel Mechanism of Action
-
More than 40 % of the world's population is at risk of being infected with malaria. Most malaria cases occur in the countries of sub-Saharan Africa, Central and South America, and Asia. Resistance to standard therapy, including artemisinin combinations, is increasing. There is an urgent need for novel antimalarials with new mechanisms of action. In a phenotypic screen, we identified a series of phenylalanine-based compounds that exhibit antimalarial activity via a new and yet unknown mechanism of action. Our optimization efforts culminated in the selection of ACT-451840 [(S,E)-N-(4-(4-acetylpiperazin-1-yl)benzyl)-3-(4-(tert-butyl)phenyl)-N-(1-(4-(4-cyanobenzyl)piperazin-1-yl)-1-oxo-3-phenylpropan-2-yl)acrylamide] for clinical development. Herein we describe our optimization efforts from the screening hit to the potential drug candidate with respect to antiparasitic activity, drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK) properties, and in vivo pharmacological efficacy.

- Flavonoid derivatives as selective ABCC1 modulators: Synthesis and functional characterization
-
A series of chromones, bearing substituted amino groups or N-substituted carboxamide moieties in position 2, was synthesized and characterized in cellular assays for modulation of the ABC transporters ABCC1 (MDCKII-MRP1 cells), ABCB1 (Kb-V1 cells) and ABCG2 (MCF-7/Topo cells). The most potent ABCC1 modulators identified among these flavonoid-type compounds were comparable to the reference compound reversan regarding potency, but superior in terms of selectivity concerning ABCB1 and ABCG2 (2-[4-(Benzo[c][1,2,5]oxadiazol-5-ylmethyl)piperazin-1-yl]-5,7-dimethoxy-4H-chromen-4-one (51): ABCC1, IC50 11.3-1/4M; inactive at ABCB1 and ABCG2). Compound 51 was as effective as reversan in reverting ABCC1-mediated resistance to cytostatics in MDCKII-MRP1 cells and proved to be stable in mouse plasma and cell culture medium. Modulators, such as compound 51, are of potential value as pharmacological tools for the investigation of the (patho)physiological role of ABCC1.

- Design, synthesis, and biological activity of novel 1,4-disubstituted piperidine/piperazine derivatives as CCR5 antagonist-based HIV-1 entry inhibitors
-
A series of novel 1,4-disubstituted piperidine/piperazine derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro activities against HIV-1 Bal (R5) infection in CEMX174 5.25M7 cells. A majority of these compounds showed potent anti-HIV-1 activities with IC50 at nanomolar levels. N-(4-Fluoro-benzyl)piperazine analog B07 hydrochloride exhibited potency against HIV-1 activity similar to that of TAK-220 hydrochloride, but it had much better water solubility (25 mg/ml in phosphate sodium buffer at 25 °C) and oral bioavailability (56%) than TAK-220 hydrochloride (a solubility of 2 mg/ml and oral bioavailability of 1.4%). These results suggest that B07 hydrochloride may serve as a better lead for the development of new anti-HIV-1 therapies or microbicides for treatment and prevent of HIV-1 infection.
