- Discovery of highly potent and selective influenza virus neuraminidase inhibitors targeting 150-cavity
-
Encouraged by our earlier discovery of N1-selective inhibitors, the 150-cavity of influenza virus neuraminidases (NAs) could be further exploited to yield more potent oseltamivir derivatives. Herein, we report the design, synthesis and biological evaluation of a series of novel oseltamivir derivatives via the structural modifications at C5–NH2 of oseltamivir targeting 150-cavity. Among them, compound 5c bearing 4-(3-methoxybenzyloxy)benzyl group exhibited the most potent activity, which was lower or modestly improved activities than oseltamivir carboxylate (OSC) against N1 (H1N1), N1 (H5N1) and N1 (H5N1–H274Y). Specifically, there was 30-fold loss of activity against the wild-type strain H1N1. However, 5c displayed 4.85-fold more potent activity than OSC against H5N1–H274Y NA. Also, 5c demonstrated low cytotoxicity in vitro and no acute toxicity in mice. Molecular docking studies provided insights into the high potency of 5c against N1 and N1–H274Y mutant NAs. Besides, the in silico prediction of physicochemical properties and CYP enzymatic inhibitory ability of representative compounds were conducted to evaluate their drug-like properties.

- Evolution of a 4-Benzyloxy-benzylamino Chemotype to Provide Efficacious, Potent, and Isoform Selective PPARα Agonists as Leads for Retinal Disorders
-
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα) is expressed in retinal Müller cells, endothelial cells, and in retinal pigment epithelium; agonism of PPARα with genetic or pharmacological tools ameliorates inflammation, vascular leakage, neurodegeneration, and neovascularization associated with retinal diseases in animal models. As such, PPARα is a promising drug target for diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration. Herein, we report proof-of-concept in vivo efficacy in an streptozotocin-induced vascular leakage model (rat) and preliminary pharmacokinetic assessment of a first-generation lead 4a (A91). Additionally, we present the design, synthesis, and evaluation of second-generation analogues, which led to the discovery of 4u and related compounds that reach cellular potencies 2,700-fold selectivity for PPARα over other PPAR isoforms. These studies identify a pipeline of candidates positioned for detailed PK/PD and pre-clinical evaluation.

- Potential anti-neuroinflammatory NF-кB inhibitors based on 3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1(2H)-one derivatives
-
Nuclear factor kappa B (NF-кB) inhibition represents a new therapeutic strategy for the treatment of neuroinflammatory diseases. In this study, a series of 3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1(2H)-one (DHN; 6a-n, 7a-c) derivatives were synthesised and characterised by NMR and HRMS. We assessed the toxicity and anti-neuroinflammatory properties of these compounds and found that 6m showed the greatest anti-neuroinflammatory properties, with relatively low toxicity. Specifically, 6m significantly reduced reactive oxygen species production, down-regulated the expression of NOD-like receptor pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3), apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD (ASC), and caspase-1 and prevented lipopolysaccharide-stimulated BV2 microglia cells polarisation towards an M1 phenotype. Furthermore, 6m significantly decreased IκBα and NF-кB p65 phosphorylation, thus inhibiting the NF-кB signalling pathway. This suggests that 6m may be explored as a functional anti-neuroinflammatory agent for the treatment of inflammatory diseases in the central nervous system, such as multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury, stroke and spinal cord injury.

- Preparation method of safinamide mesylate intermediate
-
The invention relates to a preparation method of a safinamide mesylate intermediate, which comprises the following steps: under the protection of nitrogen, adding a concentrated organic phase into anorganic solvent, heating to 40-45 DEG C, cooling to 28-35 DEG C in a constant-speed cooling mode, and adding a mixture of seed crystal and the organic solvent; and cooling the solution system to 3-8 DEG C in a gradient cooling manner, filtering, and drying to obtain the target product safinamide mesylate intermediate, namely a compound 4-(3-fluorobenzyloxy) benzaldehyde shown in a formula 4. The organic phase obtained after the reflux reaction is purified and crystallized in a gradient cooling manner, and the product is directly obtained through one-step purification, so that the operation steps are simple, the efficiency and purity are greatly improved, the solvent consumption is reduced, the reaction conditions are mild and environment-friendly, and the safety and reliability of the preparation are improved. a safe and controllable medication principle is more favorably embodied, and the method has a relatively high industrial development prospect.

- Design and synthesis of certain substituted cycloalkanecarboxamides structurally related to safinamide with anticonvulsant potential
-
A series of novel safinamide derivatives were synthesized and biologically evaluated for their anticonvulsant activity against maximal electroshock seizure assay and subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole (s.c. PTZ) screening test. Compound 13b is the most active derivative in s.c. PTZ screening test with an ED50 value lower than that of safinamide by about tenfold. A molecular modeling study, including fitting to sodium channel blockers 3D-pharmacophore model and docking into a branched-chain aminotransferase enzyme active site were consistent with the in vivo results.

- Merging the structural motifs of functionalized amino acids and α-Aminoamides: Compounds with Significant Anticonvulsant Activities
-
Functional amino acids (FAAs) and α-aminoamides (AAAs) are two classes of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) that exhibit pronounced anticonvulsant activities. We combined key structural pharmacophores present in FAAs and AAAs to generate a new series of compounds and document that select compounds exhibit activity superior to either the prototypical FAA (lacosamide) or the prototypical AAA (safinamide) in the maximal electroshock (MES) seizure model in rats. A representative compound, (R)-N-4′-((3′′-fluoro) benzyloxy)benzyl 2-acetamido-3-methoxypropionamide ((R)-10), was tested in the MES (mice, ip), MES (rat, po), psychomotor 6 Hz (32 mA) (mice, ip), and hippocampal kindled (rat, ip) seizure tests providing excellent protection with ED50 values of 13, 14, ~10 mg/kg, and 12 mg/kg, respectively. In the rat sciatic nerve ligation model (ip), (R)-10 (12 mg/kg) provided an 11.2-fold attenuation of mechanical allodynia. In the mouse biphasic formalin pain model (ip), (R)-10 (15 mg/kg) reduced pain responses in the acute and the chronic inflammatory phases.
