The potassium channel openers flupirtine and retigabine have proven to be valuable analgesics or antiepileptics. Their recent withdrawal due to occasional hepatotoxicity and tissue discoloration, respectively, leaves a therapeutic niche unfilled. Metabolic oxidation of both drugs gives rise to the formation of electrophilic quinones. These elusive, highly reactive metabolites may induce liver injury in the case of flupirtine and blue tissue discoloration after prolonged intake of retigabine. We examined which structural features can be altered to avoid the detrimental oxidation of the aromatic ring and shift oxidation toward the formation of more benign metabolites. Structure–activity relationship studies were performed to evaluate the KV7.2/3 channel opening activity of 45 derivatives. Sulfide analogues were identified that are devoid of the risk of quinone formation, but possess potent KV7.2/3 opening activity. For example, flupirtine analogue 3-(3,5-difluorophenyl)-N-(6-(isobutylthio)-2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)pyridin-3-yl)propanamide (48) has 100-fold enhanced activity (EC50=1.4 nm), a vastly improved toxicity/activity ratio, and the same efficacy as retigabine in vitro.

PI3Kα has been identified as an ideal target to treat with PIK3CA gene mutation disease, including drugs such as Alpelisib and Copanlisib. Five purine analogues and four thiazole analogues were designed and synthesized. Their enzymatic activity against PI3Ka/β/γ/δ were tested, respectively. All compounds showed excellent selectivity in modulating PI3Ka activity, and parts of the compounds showed good inhibition. Meanwhile, we used Autodock 4.2 to explore the binding mode of the most potential compound Tg with the target protein. In addition, DFT was used to calculate the HOMO-LUMO maps of the compounds Tf, Tg and positive control. This paper will provide some useful information for further drug design of PI3Kα inhibitors.
