- Discovery and preliminary SARs of keto-indoles as novel indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) inhibitors
-
Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) is an important new therapeutic target for the treatment of cancer. With the aim of discovering novel IDO inhibitors, a virtual screen was undertaken and led to the discovery of the keto-indole derivative 1a endowed with an inhibitory potency in the micromolar range. Detailed kinetics were performed and revealed an uncompetitive inhibition profile. Preliminary SARs were drawn in this series and corroborated the putative binding orientation as suggested by docking.

- Synthesis, characterization, and reactivity of dinuclear organo-rare-earth-metal alkyl complexes supported by 2-amidate-functionalized indolyl ligands: substituent effects on coordination and reactivity
-
Two series of new dinuclear organo-rare-earth-metal alkyl complexes supported by 2-amidate-functionalized indolyl ligands with different haptic modes were synthesized and characterized. The treatment of [RE(CH2SiMe3)3(THF)2] with 1 equiv. of 2-(2,6-iPr2C6H3NHC═O)C8H5NH (H2L1) and 2-(2-tBuC6H4NHC═O)C8H5NH (H2L2) in toluene yielded the dinuclear organo-rare-earth-metal alkyl complexes {[η1:(μ2-η1:η1)-L1]RE(CH2SiMe3)(THF)2}2 [RE = Gd (1a), Dy (1b), Y (1c), Er (1d), and Yb (1e)] and {[η1:(μ2-η1:η1):η1-L2]RE(CH2SiMe3)(THF)2}2 [RE = Gd (2a), Dy (2b), Y (2c), Er (2d), and Yb (2e)] in good yields. When [RE(CH2SiMe3)3(THF)2] were treated with 2 equiv. of H2L1 or H2L2 in THF, the dinuclear organo-rare-earth-metal complexes {(η1:η1-HL)[η1:(μ2-η1:η1):η1-L]RE(THF)}2 (1ca: RE = Y, L = L1; 2ea: RE = Yb, L = L2) were obtained. The complexes could react with small organic molecules such as N,N′-diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIC), phenyl isocyanate, N-methylallylamine, phenylacetylene, pyridine, N-phenylimidazole, or 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) to yield a series of new complexes with different reactivity patterns along with the reported rare-earth-metal alkyl complexes. In the presence of cocatalysts, these dinuclear organo-rare-earth-metal alkyl complexes could initiate isoprene polymerization with high activity (100% conversion of 2000 equiv. of isoprene in 12 h), yielding polymers with high regioselectivity (1,4 polymers up to 96.1%).

- Iron(III)-Catalyzed (4 + 2)-Cycloannulation of 2-Hydroxy Ketoxime Ethers with Indol-2-ylamides: Synthesis of Indole-Fused 2-Piperidinones
-
A highly regio- and diastereoselective (4 + 2)-cycloannulation process of indanone-derived 2-hydroxy ketoxime ethers with 1,4-bisnucleophilic indol-2-ylamides has been developed. In the presence of 5 mol % FeCl3, densely functionalized 2-piperidinones containing two new σ-bonds and two vicinal quaternary stereogenic centers were formed under mild reaction conditions in a one-pot operation. Moreover, most of the products directly precipitated out of the solution and were isolated by simple filtration without purification by column chromatography.

- Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4] benzodiazepine and indole conjugates as anticancer agents
-
A series of novel pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodia/epine (PBD) hybrids linked with indole carboxylates is described. These compounds were prepared by linking C-8 of 3 (DC-81) with an indole 2-carbonyl moiety (9) through carbon chain linkers to afford PBD hybrid agents 17-21 in good yields. Preliminary in vivo tests show that these hybrid agents have potent antitumor activity. The cytotoxic studies of the hybrid agents on human melanoma A2058 cells indicate most of the hybrids induced higher cytotoxicity, better DNA-binding ability, an increase in the apoptotic sub-G1 population, and a significant reduction in ΔΨmt relative to compound 3. In addition, DNA flow cytometric analysis shows that hybrids actively induce a marked loss of cells from the G2/M phase of the cell cycle, which progresses to early apoptosis as detected by flow cytometry after double-staining with annexin V and propidium iodide (PI). Thus, we suggest that the hybrid agents are potent inducers of cell apoptosis in A2058 cells.

- New class of benzothiophene morpholine analogues with high selectivity and affinity were designed and evaluated for anti-drug addiction
-
To probe the mechanism of dopamine receptors in drug addiction and look for potential new methods for treating this disease, we have designed and synthesized benzothiophene morpholine analogues that were considered as dopamine D3 receptor-selective ligands. Radioligand binding assay was used to determine the binding affinity of target compounds. Members of this class have great selectivity and binding affinity in D3 receptor. In addition, the ability of these compounds to mitigate the symptoms of addiction from opioids was investigated in animal behavior patterns, and we have found that two compounds (18a and 18d) have good affinity in the D3R and exhibit the efficacy of anti-drug addiction in morphine-dependent mice induced by naloxone.

- A novel HSF1 activator ameliorates non-alcoholic steatohepatitis by stimulating mitochondrial adaptive oxidation
-
Background and Purpose: Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is the more severe form of metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) and no pharmacological treatment as yet been approved. Identification of novel therapeutic targets and their agents is critical to overcome the current inadequacy of drug treatment for NASH. Experimental Approach: The correlation between heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) levels and the development of NASH and the target genes of HSF1 in hepatocyte were investigated by chromatin-immunoprecipitation sequencing. The effects and mechanisms of SYSU-3d in alleviating NASH were examined in relevant cell models and mouse models (the Ob/Ob mice, high-fat and high-cholesterol diet and the methionine-choline deficient diet-fed mice). The actions of SYSU-3d in vivo were evaluated. Key Results: HSF1 is progressively reduced with mitochondrial dysfunction in NASH pathogenesis and activation of this transcription factor by its newly identified activator SYSU-3d effectively inhibited all manifestations of NASH in mice. When activated, the phosphorylated HSF1 (Ser326) translocated to nucleus and bound to the promoter of PPARγ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α) to induce mitochondrial biogenesis. Thus, increasing mitochondrial adaptive oxidation and inhibiting oxidative stress. The deletion of HSF1 and PGC-1α or recovery of HSF1 in HSF1-deficiency cells showed the HSF1/PGC-1α pathway was mainly responsible for the anti-NASH effects of SYSU-3d independent of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). Conclusion and Implications: Activation of HSF1 is a practical therapeutic approach for NASH treatment via the HSF1/PGC-1α/mitochondrial pathway and SYSU-3d can be considered as a potential candidate for the treatment of NASH.

Urea/thiourea derivatives with heteroaromatic scaffolds such as indole, benzimidazole, and benzothiazole were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their potential antimicrobial activity in vitro assays to establish against B. cereus, S. aureus, E. coli, and P. aeruginosa. Our results indicate that compounds are only active in gram-positive bacteria. Molecular docking studies were carried out for the most efficient compounds to understand the interactions with proteins involved in peptidoglycan synthesis. ADME calculations indicate that these compounds are more likely to be taken via the oral route. In summary, these findings may contribute to the design and development of candidates for more effective therapeutics in biological systems.

- Structure-based discovery of 1H-indole-2-carboxamide derivatives as potent ASK1 inhibitors for potential treatment of ulcerative colitis
-
Apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1), a member of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family, is implicated in many human diseases. Here, we describe the structural optimization of hit compound 7 and conduct further structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies that result in the development of compound 19 with a novel indole-2-carboxamide hinge scaffold. Compound 19 displays potent anti-ASK1 kinase activity and stronger inhibitory effect on ASK1 in AP1-HEK293 cells than previously described ASK1 inhibitor GS-4997. Besides improved in vitro activity, compound 19 also exhibits an appropriate in vivo PK profile. In a dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced mouse model of ulcerative colitis (UC), compound 19 shows significant anti-UC efficacy and markedly attenuates DSS-induced body weight loss, colonic shortening, elevation in disease activity index (DAI) and inflammatory cell infiltration in colon tissues. Mechanistically, compound 19 represses the phosphorylation of ASK1-p38/JNK signaling pathways and suppresses the overexpression of inflammatory cytokines. Together, these findings suggest that ASK1 inhibitors can potentially be used as a therapeutic strategy for UC.

- Phototriggered Release of a Transmembrane Chloride Carrier from an o-Nitrobenzyl-Linked Procarrier

While there have been many studies on synthetic chloride carriers and a recent application for apoptotic cell death, so far, the proposed huge potential of these systems in targeting cancer has not been realized due to their cytotoxicity to healthy cells. Herein, we describe the development of an indole-2-carboxamide receptor as an efficient membrane chloride carrier while the corresponding o-nitrobenzyl-linked derivative is a procarrier of the ion. Photoirradiation of the procarrier in liposomes results in release of the active carrier with up to 90 % transport efficiency. Such photorelease of the carrier also works within cancer cells, resulting in efficient cell killing. Such photocleavable procarriers have great potential as a photodynamic therapy to combat various types of cancers.

- Novel inhibitors of Staphylococcus aureus RnpA that synergize with mupirocin
-
We recently discovered RnpA as a promising new drug discovery target for methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). RnpA is an essential protein that is thought to perform two required cellular processes. As part of the RNA degrasome Rnpa mediates RNA degradation. In combination with rnpB it forms RNase P haloenzymes which are required for tRNA maturation. A high throughput screen identified RNPA2000 as an inhibitor of both RnpA-associated activities that displayed antibacterial activity against clinically relevant strains of S. aureus, including MRSA. Structure-activity studies aimed at improving potency and replacing the potentially metabotoxic furan moiety led to the identification of a number of more potent analogs. Many of these new analogs possessed overt cellular toxicity that precluded their use as antibiotics but two derivatives, including compound 5o, displayed an impressive synergy with mupirocin, an antibiotic used for decolonizing MSRA whose effectiveness has recently been jeopardized by bacterial resistance. Based on our results, compounds like 5o may ultimately find use in resensitizing mupirocin-resistant bacteria to mupirocin.

- Amidoalkylindoles as Potent and Selective Cannabinoid Type 2 Receptor Agonists with in Vivo Efficacy in a Mouse Model of Multiple Sclerosis
-
Selective CB2 agonists represent an attractive therapeutic strategy for the treatment of a variety of diseases without psychiatric side effects mediated by the CB1 receptor. We carried out a rational optimization of a black market designer drug SDB-001 that led to the identification of potent and selective CB2 agonists. A 7-methoxy or 7-methylthio substitution at the 3-amidoalkylindoles resulted in potent CB2 antagonists (27 or 28, IC50 = 16-28 nM). Replacement of the amidoalkyls from 3-position to the 2-position of the indole ring dramatically increased the agonist selectivity on the CB2 over CB1 receptor. Particularly, compound 57 displayed a potent agonist activity on the CB2 receptor (EC50 = 114-142 nM) without observable agonist or antagonist activity on the CB1 receptor. Furthermore, 57 significantly alleviated the clinical symptoms and protected the murine central nervous system from immune damage in an experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) mouse model of multiple sclerosis.

- Discovery, Structure-Activity Relationship, and Antiparkinsonian Effect of a Potent and Brain-Penetrant Chemical Series of Positive Allosteric Modulators of Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 4
-
The metabotropic glutamate receptor 4 (mGluR4) is an emerging target for the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, since the discovery of its therapeutic potential, no ligand has been successfully developed enough to be tested in the clinic. In the present paper, we report for the first time the medicinal chemistry efforts conducted around the pharmacological tool (-)-PHCCC. This work led to the identification of compound 40, a potent and selective mGluR4 positive allosteric modulator (PAM) with good water solubility and demonstrating consistent activity across validated preclinical rodent models of PD motor symptoms after intraperitoneal administration: haloperidol-induced catalepsy in mouse and the rat 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) lesion model. Moreover, we also describe the identification of compound 60 a close analogue of compound 40 with improved pharmacokinetic profile after oral administration. On the basis of its favorable and unique preclinical profile, compound 60 (PXT002331, now foliglurax) was nominated as a candidate for clinical development.

An efficient and transition-metal-free N-arylation of amides via the insertion of arynes into the N-H bonds in the N-alkoxy amides is described. A variety of the reactive functional groups including the reactive aldehyde carbonyl group, furan ring, carbon-carbon double bonds, and free N-H bond of indole are found to be compatible with this process. In particular, the protocol is applicable in the synthesis of structurally diverse N-aryl hydroxamates and hydroxamic acids derived from N-protecting amino acids and peptides. In the presence of multiple amide N-H bonds, the N-arylation reaction can proceed selectively in the N-H bonds of terminal N-OBn amides giving rise to the desired N-aryl hydroxamates.

- Hydroxamic acids block replication of hepatitis c virus
-
Intrigued by the role of protein acetylation in hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication, we tested known histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors and a focused library of structurally simple hydroxamic acids for inhibition of a HCV subgenomic replicon. While known HDAC inhibitors with varied inhibitory profiles proved to be either relatively toxic or ineffective, structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies on cinnamic hydroxamic acid and benzo[b]thiophen-2-hydroxamic acid gave rise to compounds 22 and 53, which showed potent and selective anti-HCV activity and therefore are promising starting points for further structural optimization and mechanistic studies.

- Design and synthesis of 4-benzylpiperidine carboxamides as dual serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors
-
A series of 4-benzylpiperidine carboxamides were designed and synthesized, and tested for their dual (serotonin and norepinephrine) reuptake inhibition. The synthesis of 4-benzylpiperidine carboxamides involved two main steps: amidation and substitution. Derivatives with 3 carbon linker displayed better activity than with 2 carbon linker. 4-Biphenyl- and 2-naphthyl-substituted derivatives 7e and 7j showed greater dual reuptake inhibition than standard drug venlafaxine HCl.

- C-H activation by amide chelation control: Ruthenium-catalyzed direct synthesis of 2-Aryl-3-furanamides
-
A new, catalytic methodology for the synthesis of heterobiaryls by the ruthenium-catalyzed C-H activation/cross-coupling of heterocyclic amides with aryl boroneopentylates is surveyed. From this survey, the highly regioselective reaction of furan-3-carboxamide to give 2-aryl-3-furanamides is optimized and generalized in scope with respect to the aryl boroneopentylate coupling partners. Established thereby is a one-step synthetic method which may supercede the broadly applied two-step directed ortho metalation (DoM)-cross coupling reaction involving cryogenic and strong base conditions and which has potential for further ortho and remote metalation chemistry.

- Structure-activity relationships for vitamin D3-based aromatic a-ring analogues as hedgehog pathway inhibitors
-
A structure-activity relationship study for a series of vitamin D3-based (VD3) analogues that incorporate aromatic A-ring mimics with varying functionality has provided key insight into scaffold features that result in potent, selective Hedgehog (Hh) pathway inhibition. Three analogue subclasses containing (1) a single substitution at the ortho or para position of the aromatic A-ring, (2) a heteroaryl or biaryl moiety, or (3) multiple substituents on the aromatic A-ring were prepared and evaluated. Aromatic A-ring mimics incorporating either single or multiple hydrophilic moieties on a six-membered ring inhibited the Hh pathway in both Hh-dependent mouse embryonic fibroblasts and cultured cancer cells (IC50 values 0.74-10 μM). Preliminary studies were conducted to probe the cellular mechanisms through which VD3 and 5, the most active analogue, inhibit Hh signaling. These studies suggested that the anti-Hh activity of VD3 is primarily attributed to the vitamin D receptor, whereas 5 affects Hh inhibition through a separate mechanism.

- Synthesis of new 1,3,4-benzotriazepin-5-one derivatives and their biological evaluation as antitumor agents
-
New derivatives of 1,3,4-benzotriazepin-5-one were designed and synthesized as structural analogues to the antitumor agents devazepide and asperlicin. An efficient and novel approach to the synthesis of 2-amino-1,3,4-benzotriazepin-5- one 2 was developed and its structure was confirmed. The newly synthesized derivatives were evaluated for their in vitro antitumor activity on 60 different cell lines. Compounds 8 and 9 displayed the most potent antitumor activity against several cell lines specifically ovarian cancer, renal cancer and prostate cancer, while compounds 5, 10 and 12 showed significant activities against UO-31 renal cancer cell line.

- Synthesis of 6-substituted 2-pyrrolyl and indolyl benzoxazoles by intramolecular O-arylation in photostimulated reactions
-
The synthesis of a series of 6-substituted 2-pyrrolyl and 2-indolyl benzoxazoles by photostimulated C-O cyclization of anions from 2-pyrrole carboxamides, 2-indole carboxamides, or 3-indole carboxamides has been found to proceed in good to excellent yields (41-100%) in DMSO and liquid ammonia. The pyrrole and indole carboxamides are obtained in good to very good isolated yields by an amidation reaction of different 2-haloanilines with 2-carboxylic acid of pyrrole and 2- or 3-carboxylic acid of indole. To explain the regiochemical outcome of these reactions (C-O arylation vs C-N or C-C arylation), a theoretical analysis was performed using DFT methods and the B3LYP functional.

- Synthesis and evaluation of indole-containing 3,5-diarylisoxazoles as potential pro-apoptotic antitumour agents
-
A series of novel indole-containing diarylisoxazoles has been synthesised, based on our previous work on the synthesis and pro-apoptotic antitumour activity of indole-based diaryl 1,2,4-oxadiazoles. Concise synthetic routes to both 3-(indol-2-yl)-5-phenylisoxazoles and 5-(indol-2-yl)-3-phenylisoxazoles have been developed with full regiochemical control, bearing substituents on the indole ring, indole nitrogen, and/or phenyl group. Additionally a series of the related 5-(1H-indol-5-yl)-3-phenylisoxazoles has been prepared. In vitro evaluation in human cancer cell lines Colo320 (colon) and Calu-3 (lung) revealed preferential antiproliferative activity within the 5-(indol-5-yl)-3- phenylisoxazole series (low micromolar IC50). Further analysis revealed the ability of the indol-5-yl series to induce expression of effector caspases-3 and -7, and retention of viability of the human bronchial smooth muscle cell (BSMC) control cell population (particularly for compounds 18c and 18e).

- Indol-2-yl ethanones as novel indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) inhibitors
-
Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) is a heme dioxygenase which has been shown to be involved in the pathological immune escape of diseases such as cancer. The synthesis and structure-activity relationships (SAR) of a novel series of IDO inhibitors based on the indol-2-yl ethanone scaffold is described. In vitro and in vivo biological activities have been evaluated, leading to compounds with IC50 values in the micromolar range in both tests. Introduction of small substituents in the 5- and 6-positions of the indole ring, indole N-methylation and variations of the aromatic side chain are all well tolerated. An iron coordinating group on the linker is a prerequisite for biological activity, thus corroborating the virtual screening results.

-
Intramolecular N-arylation of pyrrole and indole carboxamides and carboxylates linked with a pendant haloarene by Cu-catalyzed reactions to synthesize pyrrole and indole quinoxalinone and oxazinone derivatives is reported. The ring closure reactions were carried out by conventional heating and MW irradiation. The use of conventional heating affords moderate to good yields of the quinoxalinone and oxazinone derivatives (34-72%), while by using MW heating the best results are obtained (41-99%).

- Design, synthesis, and SAR studies of 4-substituted methoxylbenzoyl-aryl- thiazoles analogues as potent and orally bioavailable anticancer agents
-
In a continued effort to improve upon the previously published 4-substituted methoxybenzoyl-aryl-thiazole (SMART) template, we explored chemodiverse "B" rings and "B" to "C" ring linkage. Further, to overcome the poor aqueous solubility of this series of agents, we introduced polar and ionizable hydrophilic groups to obtain water-soluble compounds. For instance, based on in vivo pharmacokinetic (PK) studies, an orally bioavailable phenyl-amino-thiazole (PAT) template was designed and synthesized in which an amino linkage was inserted between "A" and "B" rings of compound 1. The PAT template maintained nanomolar (nM) range potency against cancer cell lines via inhibiting tubulin polymerization and was not susceptible to P-glycoprotein mediated multidrug resistance in vitro, and markedly improved solubility and bioavailability compared with the SMART template (45a-c (PAT) vs 1 (SMART)).
