Potent platelet-derived growth factor-beta receptor (PDGF-betaR) inhibitors: Synthesis and structure-activity relationships of 7-[3-(cyclohexylmethyl)ureido]-3-{1-methyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-3-yl}quinoxalin-2(1H)-one derivatives

We found previously that 7-[3-(cyclohexylmethyl)ureido]-3-{1-methyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-3-yl}quinoxalin-2(1H)-one (7d-6) has considerable potency as a PDGF inhibitor. This compound showed potent inhibitory activity in a PDGF-induced CPA (Cell Proliferation Assay) and APA (Auto-Phosphorylation Assay) (IC50 = 0.05 micromol/l in CPA, 0.03 micromol/l in APA). Therefore, we tried to develop a novel and effective PDGF-betaR inhibitor by optimizing a series of its derivatives. We found that trifluoroacetic acid (TFA)-catalyzed coupling of pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridines with quinoxalin-2-ones proceeded efficiently under mild oxidation condition with manganese(IV) oxide (MnO2) in situ, so this method was applied to prepare a series of derivatives. Results of in vitro screening of newly synthesized derivatives identified compound 7d-9 as having potent (IC50 = 0.014 micromol/l in CPA, 0.007 micromol/l in APA) and selective [IC50 values against vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2, kinase domain region, KDR), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), c-Met (hepatocyte growth factor receptor) and insulin growth factor I receptor (IGF-IR)/IC50 against PDGFR were each >1000] inhibitory activity. Moreover, in this series of derivatives, 7b-2 showed potent inhibitory activity toward both PDGF- and VEGF-induced signaling (PDGFR: IC50 = 0.004 micromol/l in CPA, 0.0008 micromol/l in APA, KDR: IC50 = 0.008 micromol/l in APA). Herein we report a new and convenient synthetic method for this series of derivatives and its SAR study.     

4-(Benzoylindolizinyl)butyric acids; novel nonsteroidal inhibitors of steroid 5alpha-reductase. III.

A novel series of indolizinebutyric acids with various benzoyl substituents was synthesized to develop nonsteroidal inhibitors of steroid 5alpha-reductase, and the structure-activity relationships in this series were studied. We previously reported the structure-activity relationships in a series of indolebutyric acids as well as the discovery of the novel nonsteroidal 5alpha-reductase inhibitor, FK143. We have now made other modifications to this compound to improve in vivo inhibitory activity. By altering the heterocyclic nucleus and changing the benzoyl substituent we have succeeded in identifying the strongly active compound, FK687, (S)-4-[1-[4-[[1-(4-isobutylphenyl)butyl]oxy]benzoyl]indolizin-3-yl]butyric acid, which displays strong in vitro inhibitory activity against the human enzyme and in vivo inhibitory activity against the castrated young rat model. This compound should be a useful agent for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of 3-amino-1-(5-indanyloxy)-2-propanol derivatives as potent sodium channel blockers for the treatment of stroke

In investigating potent sodium (Na(+)) channel blockers for the treatment of ischemic stroke, we synthesized a novel series of 3-amino-1-(5-indanyloxy)-2-propanol derivatives and evaluated their inhibitory effects on neuronal Na(+) channels. The 3-amino-1-(5-indanyloxy)-2-propanol derivatives exhibited potent blocking activity for Na(+) channels and a significantly low affinity for dopamine D(2) receptors, which demonstrates a minimal clinical risk for extrapyramidal side effects. In particular, compound 4b, a 3-amino-1-(5-indanyloxy)-2-propanol derivative bearing a benzimidazole moiety, showed desirable neuroprotective activity in a rat transient middle cerebral artery occlusion model. Furthermore, compound 4b displayed a high binding affinity for neurotoxin receptor site 2 of the Na(+) channels, which suggests that 4b would act as a use-dependent Na(+) channel blocker in sustained depolarization during ischemic stroke.     

Synthesis and calcium antagonistic activity of (+)-(R)- and (-)-(S)-3-acetyl-2-[5-methoxy-2-[4-[N-methyl-N-(3,4,5- trimethoxyphenethyl)amino]butoxy]phenyl]benzothiazoline hydrochloride

SA2572 ((+)-1), 3-acetyl-2-[5-methoxy-2-[4-[N-methyl-N-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenethyl) amino] butoxy]phenyl]-benzothiazoline hydrochloride is a newly synthesized Ca2+ antagonist having a inhibitory effect on the fast Na+ inward channel. In order to clarify the absolute configurations and the pharmacological properties of both enantiomers, compounds ((+)-1 and (-)-1) were synthesized. The configurations of these compounds were assigned on the basis of an X-ray crystallographic analysis of synthetic precursor (5). The in vitro Ca2+ channel blocking activities of (+)-1 and (-)-1 were evaluated in terms of the inhibitory activities on depolarization-induced contraction of guinea pig taenia cecum and rabbit aorta. The in vivo efficacy of the enantiomers was evaluated with their hypotensive effects in spontaneously hypertensive rats. Compound (-)-1 showed more potent Ca2+ antagonistic activities on guinea pig taenia cecum and rabbit aorta and the hypotensive effect than those activities of (+)-1. In the electrophysiological study of Langendorff perfused rabbit hearts, compound (+)-1 showed more potent inhibitory effect on the fast Na+ inward channel than that of compound (-)-1, and an approximately equal potent inhibitory effect on the slow Ca2+ inward channel as compared with compound (-)-1. Stereoselectivity of the pharmacological activity was found.

Acrylamide derivatives as antiallergic agents. III. Synthesis and structure-activity relationships of N-[4-(4-diphenylmethyl-1-piperazinyl)butyl]- and N-[4-(4-diphenylmethylene-1-piperidyl)butyl]-3-heteroarylacry lamides

A new series of 3-heteroarylacrylamides 2 and 4 was prepared and the inhibitory activities against the rat passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) reaction and the enzyme 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) were tested. Most of the compounds exhibited an anti-PCA activity superior to or equivalent to ketotifen and had a 5-LO inhibitory activity. The 3-heteroarylacrylamide derivatives including 3-(3-pyridyl)acrylamides represent a new structural class of compound that exhibits not only an in vivo anti-PCA activity but also an in vitro 5-LO inhibitory activity.     

2-hydroxymethyl-4-[5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3-trifluoromethyl-1H-1-pyrazolyl]-1-benzenesulfonamide (DRF-4367): an orally active COX-2 inhibitor identified through pharmacophoric modulation

Analogs of 1,5-diarylpyrazoles with a novel pharmacophore at N1 were designed, synthesized and evaluated for the in-vitro cyclooxygenase (COX-1/COX-2) inhibitory activity. The variations at/around position-4 of the C-5 phenyl ring in conjunction with a CF3 and CHF2 groups at C-3 exhibited a high degree of potency and selectivity index (SI) for COX-2 inhibition. The in-vivo evaluation of these potent compounds with a few earlier ones indicated the 4-OMe-phenyl analog and the 4-NHMe-phenyl analog with a CF3, and the 4-OEt-phenyl analog with a CHF2 group at C-3 to possess superior potency than celecoxib. In addition to its impressive anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, analgesic and anti-arthritic properties, compound (DRF-4367) was found to possess an excellent pharmacokinetic profile, gastrointestinal (GI) safety in the long-term arthritis study and COX-2 potency in human whole blood assay. Thus, compound was selected as an orally active anti-inflammatory candidate for pre-clinical evaluation.

4-(1-benzoylindol-3-yl)butyric acids and FK143: novel nonsteroidal inhibitors of steroid 5 alpha-reductase (II).

A novel series of indolebutyric acids with varying benzoyl substituents were synthesized to develop nonsteroidal inhibitors of steroid 5 alpha-reductase. We previously reported the discovery of a novel nonsteroidal 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor, FR119680, which had an IC50 value of 5.0 nM against the rat prostatic enzyme. However, this compound was not strongly active against the human prostatic enzyme. By further study of the structure-activity relationships we succeeded in producing the strongly active compound, FK143, 4-[3-[3-[bis(4-isobutylphenyl)-methylamino]benzoyl]-1H-indol-1-yl] butyric acid, with an IC50 value of 1.9 nM against the human enzyme. FK143 also has in vivo inhibitory activity against the castrated young rat model and it should therefore be an extremely useful agent for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia.     

Novel and Potent Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitors for the Treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease from Natural (±)-7,8-Dihydroxy-3-methyl-isochroman-4-one

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease that causes memory and cognitive decline as well as behavioral problems. It is a progressive and well recognized complex disease; therefore, it is very urgent to develop novel and effective anti-AD drugs. In this study, a series of novel isochroman-4-one derivatives from natural (±)-7,8-dihydroxy-3-methyl-isochroman-4-one [(±)-XJP] were designed and synthesized, and their anti-AD potential was evaluated. Among them, compound 10a [(Z)-3-acetyl-1-benzyl-4-((6,7-dimethoxy-4-oxoisochroman-3-ylidene)methyl)pyridin-1-ium bromide] possessed potent anti-acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity as well as modest antioxidant activity. Further molecular modeling and kinetic investigations revealed that compound 10a was a dual-binding inhibitor that binds to both catalytic anionic site (CAS) and peripheral anionic site (PAS) of the enzyme AChE. In addition, compound 10a exhibited low cytotoxicity and moderate anti-Aβ aggregation efficacy. Moreover, the in silico screening suggested that these compounds could pass across the blood–brain barrier with high penetration. These findings show that compound 10a was a promising lead from a natural product with potent AChE inhibitory activity and deserves to be further developed for the prevention and treatment of AD.     

Synthesis, characterization, acetylcholinesterase inhibition, molecular modeling and antioxidant activities of some novel Schiff bases derived from 1-(2-ketoiminoethyl)piperazines

Some novel Schiff bases derived from 1-(2-ketoiminoethyl)piperazines were synthesized and characterized by mass spectroscopy, FTIR, UV-Visible, 1H and 13C-NMR. The compounds were tested for inhibitory activities on human acetylcholinesterase (hAChE), antioxidant activities, acute oral toxicity and further studied by molecular modeling techniques. The study identified the compound (DHP) to have the highest activity among the series in hAChE inhibition and DPPH assay while the compound LP revealed the highest activity in the FRAP assay. The hAChE inhibitory activity of DHP is comparable with that of propidium, a known AChE inhibitor. This high activity of DHP was checked by molecular modeling which showed that DHP could not be considered as a bivalent ligand due to its incapability to occupy the esteratic site (ES) region of the 3D crystal structure of hAChE. The antioxidant study unveiled varying results in 1,1-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays. This indicates mechanistic variations of the compounds in the two assays. The potential therapeutic applications and safety of these compounds were suggested for use as human acetylcholinesterase inhibitors and antioxidants.

Synthesis and activity of a metabolite of (S)-6-amino-5-(6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchroman-2-carboxamido)-3-methyl-1-phenyl-2,4-(1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione (CX-659S)

CX-659S (1) [(S)-6-amino-5-(6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchroman-2-carboxamido)-3-methyl-1-phenyl-2,4-(1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione], has been developed as a new type anti-inflammatory agent for the treatment of dermatitis. The structure of a major metabolite of CX-659S was determined as (S)-6-amino-5-[2-hydroxy-2-methyl-4-(2,4,5-trimethyl-3,6-dioxo-1,4-cyclohexadienyl)butanamide]-3-methyl-1-phenyl-2,4-(1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione (2) by direct comparison with the synthesized authentic compound. The anti-inflammatory activity of 2 was equipotent with that of 1 on the contact hypersensitivity reaction (CHR) induced by picryl chloride (PC) in mice, suggesting that compound 2 contributes, at least in part, to the anti-inflammatory activity of CX-659S.     

Synthesis,Crystal Structure and Biological Activity of(E)-3-Chloro-2-(2-(2-methylbenzylidene)-hydrazinyl)pyridine

The novel Schiff base(E)-3-chloro-2-(2-(2-methylbenzylidene)hydrazinyl)pyridine was synthesized and characterized by ~1H NMR, MS, elemental analysis and X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in monoclinic space group Pbca with a = 14.6638(3), b = 7.7522(2), c = 20.3850(4) ?, V = 2317.30(9) ?~3, Z = 8, R = 0.063 and w R = 0.1922. The title compound exhibits good antifungal activity against Stemphylium lycopersici(Enjoji) Yamamoto and Fusarium oxysporum sp. cucumebrium.     

Design, synthesis and antiinflammatory activity of a new indomethacin ester. 2-[N-[3-(3-(piperidinomethyl)phenoxy)propyl]carbamoylmethylthio]ethyl 1-(p-chlorobenzoyl)-5-methoxy-2-methyl-indole-3-acetate

A novel indomethacin ester prodrug, 2-[N-[3-(3-(piperidinomethyl)phenoxy)propyl]carbamoylmethylthio ]ethyl 1-(p-chlorobenzoyl)-5-methoxy-2-methylindole-3-acetate (1) was prepared from a new histamine H2-receptor antagonist, N-[3-(3-(piperidinomethyl)phenoxy)propyl]-2-(2-hydroxyethylthio )acetamide (2) and indomethacin (3). The compound 1 was shown to be essentially similar to 3 in its antiinflammatory action and to almost completely inhibit carrageenin-induced hind-paw edema in the rat at a very high dose of 230 mg/kg (280 mumol/kg), which is comparable to that of 100 mg/kg (280 mumol/kg) of 3, without producing gastric lesions. On a molar basis, the acute gastric lesioning properties of 1 were near one-hundred times less than those of 3, resulting in over a twenty-fold improvement in the ratio of antiedema activity to ulcerogenicity. The effect of the co-administration of histamine H2-receptor antagonists on antiedema activity and ulcerogenicity caused by 3 is also discussed.
