Human neutrophil elastase (HNE) is a potent protease that plays an important physiological role in many processes and is considered to be a multifunctional enzyme. HNE is also involved in a variety of pathologies affecting the respiratory system. Thus, compounds able to inhibit HNE proteolytic activity could represent effective therapeutics. We present here a new series of pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine derivatives of our previously reported potent HNE inhibitors. Our results show that position 2 of the pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine scaffold must be unsubstituted, and modifications of this position resulted in loss of HNE inhibitory activity. Conversely, the introduction of certain substituents at position 5 was tolerated, with retention of HNE inhibitory activity (IC50 = 15–51 nM) after most substitutions, indicating that bulky and/or lipophilic substituents at position 5 probably interact with the large pocket of the enzyme site and allow Michaelis complex formation. The possibility of Michaelis complex formation between Ser195 and the ligand carbonyl group was assessed by molecular docking, and it was found that highly active HNE inhibitors are characterized by geometries favorable for Michaelis complex formation and by relatively short lengths of the proton transfer channel via the catalytic triad.

Cdc7 is a serine-threonine kinase and plays a conserved and important role in DNA replication, and it has been recognized as a potential anticancer target. Herein, we report the design, synthesis and structure-activity relationship of novel furanone derivatives as Cdc7 kinase inhibitors. Compound 13 was identified as a strong inhibitor of Cdc7 with an IC50 value of 0.6?nM in the presence of 1?mM ATP and showed excellent kinase selectivity. In addition, it exhibited slow off-rate characteristics, which may offer advantages over known Cdc7 inhibitors in its potential to yield prolonged inhibitory effects in?vivo. Compound 13 potently inhibited Cdc7 activity in cancer cells, and effectively induced cell death.
