Myocardial infarction (MI) injury is a highly lethal syndrome that has, until recently, suffered from a lack of clinically efficient targeted therapeutics. The cardiac troponin I interacting kinase (TNNI3K) exacerbates ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury via oxidative stress, thereby promoting cardiomyocyte death. In this current study, we designed and synthesized 35 novel TNNI3K inhibitors with a pyrido[4,5]thieno[2,3-d] pyrimidine scaffold. In vitro results indicated that some of the inhibitors exhibited sub-micromolar TNNI3K inhibitory capacity and good kinase selectivity, as well as cytoprotective activity, in an oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) injury cardiomyocyte model. Furthermore, investigation of the mechanism of the representative derivative compound 6o suggested it suppresses pyroptosis and apoptosis in cardiomyocytes by interfering with p38MAPK activation, which was further confirmed in a murine myocardial infarction injury model. In vivo results indicate that compound 6o can markedly reduce myocardial infarction size and alleviate cardiac tissue damage in rats. In brief, our results provide the basis for further development of novel TNNI3K inhibitors for targeted MI therapy.

The nitroacridine derivative 9-[[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]amino]-1-nitroacridine (nitracrine) is selectively cytotoxic to hypoxic tumor cells in culture. However, the compound undergoes reductive metabolism too rapidly, with the reduction not being sufficiently inhibited by molecular oxygen in aerobic tissues, for it to demonstrate the same activity in vivo. In a search for derivatives with lower reduction potentials, we have synthesized and evaluated a series of derivatives bearing 4-substituents with a wide range of electronic properties. The one-electron reduction potentials (E(1)) of these compounds, when compared under conditions of equivalent ionization, were highly correlated with σ(p) values. However, at pH 7 the influence of substituent electronic properties was modified by prototropic equilibria, with the basic nature of the acridine limiting the extent to which ring substituent electronic effects can be used to modulate reduction potential of the 1-nitro group. Nevertheless, comparison of the kinetics of the killing of AA8 cells under hypoxia suggests that some metabolic stabilization of the compounds can be achieved by the use of electron-donating substituents, with such compounds retaining the hypoxia-selective toxicity of nitracrine in cell culture. However, the 4-substituted nitracrines show no clear relationship between E(1) and cytotoxic potency, in distinct contrast to simpler nitroheterocycles such as nitroimidazoles.
