Zeste enhancer homolog 2 (EZH2) is highly expressed in various malignant tumors, which could silence tumor suppressor genes via trimethylation of H3K27. Herein was first reported a novel series of pyrrole-3-carboxamide derivatives carrying a pyridone fragment as EZH2 inhibitors. By combining computational modeling, in vitro cellular assays and further rational structure-activity relationship exploration and optimization, compound DM-01 showed powerful inhibition towards EZH2. DM-01 was found to have significant ability to reduce the cellular H3K27me3 level in K562 cells in the Western blot test. Meanwhile, our data showed that knockdown EZH2 in A549 cells resulted in a decrease of cell sensitivity to DM-01 at 50 and 100 μM. DM-01 could also increase the transcription expression of DIRAS3 in a dose-dependent manner, a tumor suppressor in the downstream of EZH2, suggesting it was worth investigating further as a lead compound.

Background: Natural products have shown potent anti-HIV activity, but some of these also possess toxicity. The pharmacophoric fragments of these natural products have scope of combination with other pharmacophoric fragment and derivatization to reduce toxicity and increase the potency. Combination of natural product fragments from different classes of anti-HIV compounds may lead to a new class of potent anti-HIV agents. Objective: Design, in silico prediction of drug-likeness, ADMET properties and synthesis of pyrazol- pyridones. Evaluation of the anti-HIV-1 activity of synthesized pyrazol-pyridones. Method: Pyrazol-pyridones were designed by combining reported anti-HIV pharmacophoric fragments. Designed molecules were synthesized after in silico prediction of drug-likeness and ADMET properties. Compounds were evaluated for activity against HIV-1VB59 and HIV-1UG070. Result: QED value of designed pyrazol-pyridones was greater than the known drug zidovudine. The designed compounds were predicted to be noncarcinogenic and nonmutagenic in nature. Seventeen novel pyrazol-pyridones were synthesized with good yield. Compound 6q and 6l showed activity with IC50 values 6.14 μM and 15.34 μM against HIV-1VB59 and 16.21 μM and 18.21 μM against HIV-1UG070, respectively. Conclusion: Compound 6q was found to be most potent among the synthesized compounds with a therapeutic index of 54.31against HIV-1VB59. This is the first report of anti-HIV-1 activity of pyrazol-pyridone class of compounds. Although the anti-HIV-1 activity of these compounds is moderate, this study opens up a new class for exploration of chemical space for anti-HIV-1 activity.
