- Design, synthesis and structure-activity relationship studies of novel and diverse cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors as anti-inflammatory drugs
-
Because of the pivotal role of cyclooxygenase (COX) in the inflammatory processes, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) that suppress COX activities have been used clinically for the treatment of inflammatory diseases/syndromes; however, traditional NSAIDs exhibit serious side-effects such as gastrointestinal damage and hyper sensitivity owing to their COX-1 inhibition. Also, COX-2 inhibition-derived suppressive or preventive effects against initiation/proliferation/invasion/motility/recurrence/metastasis of various cancers/tumours such as colon, gastric, skin, lung, liver, pancreas, breast, prostate, cervical and ovarian cancers are significant. In this study, design, synthesis and structure-activity relationship (SAR) of various novel {2-[(2-, 3- and/or 4-substituted)-benzoyl, (bicyclic heterocycloalkanophenyl)carbonyl or cycloalkanecarbonyl]-(5- or 6-substituted)-1H-indol-3-yl}acetic acid analogues were investigated to seek and identify various chemotypes of potent and selective COX-2 inhibitors for the treatment of inflammatory diseases, resulting in the discovery of orally potent agents in the peripheral-inflammation model rats. The SARs and physicochemical properties for the analogues are described as significant findings. For graphical abstract: see Supplementary Material. (www.informahealthcare.com/enz)

- Novel bis(1H-indol-2-yl)methanones as potent inhibitors of FLT3 and platelet-derived growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase
-
FLT3 receptor tyrosine kinase is aberrantly active in many cases of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Recently, bis(1H-indol-2-yl)methanones were found to inhibit FLT3 and PDGFR kinases. To optimize FLT3 activity and selectivity, 35 novel derivatives were synthesized and tested for inhibition of FLT3 and PDGFR autophosphorylation. The most potent FLT3 inhibitors 98 and 102 show IC 50 values of 0.06 and 0.04 μM, respectively, and 1 order of magnitude lower PDGFR inhibiting activity. The derivatives 76 and 82 are 20- to 40-fold PDGFR selective. Docking at the recent FLT3 structure suggests a bidentate binding mode with the backbone of Cys-694. Activity and selectivity can be related to interactions of one indole moiety with a Hydrophobic pocket including Phe-691, the only different binding site residue (PDGFR Thr-681). Compound 102 inhibited the proliferation of 32D cells expressing wildtype FLT3 or FLT3-ITD similarly as FLT3 autophosphorylation, and induced apoptosis in primary AML patient blasts.
