In an effort to design inhibitors of human glutaminyl cyclase (QC), we have synthesized a library of N-aryl N-(5-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)propyl thioureas and investigated the contribution of the aryl region of these compounds to their structure-activity relationships as cyclase inhibitors. Our design was guided by the proposed binding mode of the preferred substrate for the cyclase. In this series, compound 52 was identified as the most potent QC inhibitor with an IC50 value of 58 nM, which was two-fold more potent than the previously reported lead 2. Compound 52 is a most promising candidate for future evaluation to monitor its ability to reduce the formation of pGlu-Aβ and Aβ plaques in cells and transgenic animals.

The formation of nitric oxide (NO) was followed during the oxidation of 37 N-hydroxyguanidines or related derivatives, including 18 new N-aryl N′ -hydroxyguanidines, by recombinant inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS II). Several N-aryl N′-hydroxyguanidines bearing a relatively small, electron-donating para subtituent, such as H, F, Cl, CH3, OH, OCH3, and NH2, led to NO formation rates between 8 and 41% of that of NO formation from the natural NOS substrate, Nω-hydroxy-L-arginine (NOHA). The characteristics of these reactions were very similar to those previously reported for the oxidation of NOHA by NOS: (i) the strict requirement of NOS containing (6R)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-L-biopterin, reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, and O2 for the oxidation to occur, (ii) the formation of NO and the corresponding urea in a 1:1 molar ratio, and (iii) a strong inhibitory effect of the classical NOS inhibitors such as Nω-nitro-L-arginine and S-ethyl-iso-thiourea. Structure-activity relationship studies showed that two structural factors are crucial for NO formation from compounds containing a C=NOH function. The first one is the presence of a monosubstituted N-hydroxyguanidine function, since disubstituted N-hydroxyguanidines, amidoximes, ketoximes, and aldoximes failed to produce NO. The second one is the presence of a N-phenyl ring bearing a relatively small, not electron-withdrawing para substituent that could favorably interact with a hydrophobic cavity close to the NOS catalytic site. The kcat value for NOS II-catalyzed oxidation of N-parafluorophenyl N′-hydroxyguanidine was 80% of that found for NOHA, and its kcat/Km value was only 9-fold lower than that of NOHA. Interestingly, the Km value found for NOS II-catalyzed oxidation of N-(3-thienyl) N′-hydroxyguanidine was 25 μM, almost identical to that of NOHA. Recombinant NOS I and NOS III also oxidize several N-aryl N′-hydroxyguanidines with the formation of NO, with a clearly different substrate specificity. The best substrates of the studied series for NOS I and NOS III were N-(para-hydroxyphenyl) and N-(meta-aminophenyl) N′-hydroxyguanidine, respectively. Among the studied compounds, the para-chlorophenyl and paramethylphenyl derivatives were selective substrates of NOS II. These results open the way toward a new class of selective NO donors after in situ oxidation by each NOS family.
