Page/Page column 33, (2019/09/12)
The present invention relates to novel compounds which are particularly useful as inhibitors of bacterial glutaminyl cyclases (bacQC); pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds; compounds and/or pharmaceutical compositions for use in methods for treatment, in particular for use in the treatment of periodontitis and related conditions; as well as to crystals comprising bacterial glutaminyl cyclases, methods for identifying candidate compounds which may associate with the binding pocket of a bacQC and/or are bacQC inhibitors.

We describe herein the first C-2 direct alkenylation of the valuable 3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine promoted by microwave-assisted Pd/Cu co-catalysis. The reaction is rapid and compatible with a wide range of functional groups either on the imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine ring or on the styryl bromides thereby leading to the isolation of 23 compounds with moderate to good yields. The relevance of this method is demonstrated by its application to the synthesis of new cross-conjuguated push-pull 2-vinyl- and 2-alkynylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridines characterized by satisfactory fluorescence quantum yields and remarkable solvatofluorochromic properties.

In this paper, we describe the structure-based design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of cytosine derivatives and analogues that inhibit IspF, an enzyme in the non-mevalonate pathway of isoprenoid biosynthesis. This pathway is responsible for the biosynthesis of the C5 precursors to isoprenoids, isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP, 1) and dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP, 2; Scheme 1). The non-mevalonate pathway is the sole source for 1 and 2 in the protozoan Plasmodium parasites. Since mammals exclusively utilize the alternative mevalonate pathway, the enzymes of the non-mevalonate pathway have been identified as attractive new drug targets in the fight against malaria. Based on computer modeling (cf. Figs. 2 and 3), new cytosine derivatives and analogues (Fig. 1) were selected as potential drug-like inhibitors of IspF protein, and synthesized (Schemes 2-5). Determination of the enzyme activity by 13C-NMR spectroscopy in the presence of the new ligands showed inhibitory activities for some of the prepared cytosine and pyridine-2,5-diamine derivatives in the upper micromolar range (IC50 values; Table). The data suggest that it is possible to inhibit IspF protein without binding to the polar diphosphate binding site and the side chain of Asp56′, which interacts with the ribose moiety of the substrate and substrate analogues. Furthermore, a new spacious sub-pocket was discovered which accommodates aromatic spacers between cytosine derivatives or analogues (binding to 'Pocket III') and rings that occupy the flexible hydrophobic region of 'Pocket II'. The proposed binding mode remains to be further validated by X-ray crystallography.
