Accumulation of misfolded α-synuclein in Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites is the pathological hallmark of Parkinson's disease (PD). To identify ligands having high binding potency toward aggregated α-synuclein, we synthesized a series of phenothiazine derivatives and assessed their binding affinity to recombinant α-synuclein fibrils using a fluorescent thioflavin T competition assay. Among 16 new analogues, the in vitro data suggest that compound 11b has high affinity to α-synuclein fibrils (K(i)=32.10 ± 1.25 nM) and compounds 11d, 16a and16b have moderate affinity to α-synuclein fibrils (K(i)≈50-100 nM). Further optimization of the structure of these analogues may yield compounds with high affinity and selectivity for aggregated α-synuclein.  相似文献

A series of compounds structurally related to aripiprazole (1), an atypical antipsychotic and antidepressant used clinically for the treatment of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and depression, have been prepared and evaluated for affinity at D(?-like) dopamine receptors. These compounds also share structural elements with the classical D(?-like) dopamine receptor antagonists, haloperidol, N-methylspiperone, domperidone and benperidol. Two new compounds, 7-(4-(4-(2-methoxyphenyl)piperazin-1-yl)butoxy)-3,4-dihydroquinolin-2(1H)-one oxalate (6) and 7-(4-(4-(2-(2-fluoroethoxy)phenyl)piperazin-1-yl)butoxy)-3,4-dihydroquinolin-2(1H)-one oxalate (7) were found to (a) bind to the D? receptor subtype with high affinity (K(i) values < 0.3 nM), (b) exhibit >50-fold D? versus D? receptor binding selectivity and (c) be partial agonists at both the D? and D? receptor subtype.  相似文献

This study shows that the cyclization of l-DMDP thioureas to bicyclic l-DMDP isothioureas improved α-l-rhamnosidase inhibition which was further enhanced by increasing the length of the alkyl chain. The addition of a long alkyl chain, such as decyl or dodecyl, to the nitrogen led to the production of highly potent inhibitors of α-l-rhamnosidase; it also caused broad inhibition spectrum against β-glucosidase and β-galactosidase. In contrast, the corresponding N-benzyl-l-DMDP cyclic isothioureas display selective inhibition of α-l-rhamnosidase; 3′,4′-dichlorobenzyl-l-DMDP cyclic isothiourea (3r) was found to display the most potent and selective inhibition of α-l-rhamnosidase, with IC50 value of 0.22 μM, about 46-fold better than the positive control 5-epi-deoxyrhamnojirimycin (5-epi-DRJ; IC50 = 10 μM) and occupied the active-site of this enzyme (Ki = 0.11 μM). Bicyclic isothioureas of ido-l-DMDP did not inhibit α-l-rhamnosidase. These new mimics of l-rhamnose may affect other enzymes associated with the biochemistry of rhamnose including enzymes involved in progression of tuberculosis.  相似文献

A series of twenty indole hydrazone analogs (121) were synthesized, characterized by different spectroscopic techniques such as 1H NMR and EI-MS, and screened for α-amylase inhibitory activity. All analogs showed a variable degree of α-amylase inhibition with IC50 values ranging between 1.66 and 2.65 μM. Nine compounds that are 1 (2.23 ± 0.01 μM), 8 (2.44 ± 0.12 μM), 10 (1.92 ± 0.12 μM), 12 (2.49 ± 0.17 μM), 13 (1.66 ± 0.09 μM), 17 (2.25 ± 0.1 μM), 18 (1.87 ± 0.25 μM), 20 (1.83 ± 0.63 μM), and 19 (1.97 ± 0.02 μM) showed potent α-amylase inhibition when compared with the standard acarbose (1.05 ± 0.29 μM). Other analogs showed good to moderate α-amylase inhibition. The structure activity relationship is mainly focusing on difference of substituents on phenyl part. Molecular docking studies were carried out to understand the binding interaction of the most active compounds.  相似文献

The α7-nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7-nAChR) subtype, is found to have a connection with the pathogenesis of a variety of psychiatric and neurological disorders. Herein, we report the development of radioiodinated 9-fluorenone derivatives as single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging tracers for α7-nAChRs. Among the derivatives, the best member of the series 10 (Ki = 2.23 nM) were radiolabeled with 125I for in vitro and in vivo studies. The radiotracer [125I]10 exhibited robust brain uptake and specifically labeled α7-nAChRs with a peak uptake value of 9.49 ± 0.87%ID/g in brain. Blocking studies demonstrated that the tracer was highly specific toward α7-nAChR. Furthermore, ex vivo autoradiography and micro-SPECT/CT dynamic imaging in mice confirmed the excellent imaging properties. In addition, molecular docking was also performed to rationalize the potency of the chosen compounds towards α7-nAChRs. To conclude, compound 10 could serve as a promising radiotracer for the α7-nAChRs.  相似文献

A set of α-quaternary 3-chloro-1-hydroxyalkylphosphonates, analogues of fosfomycin and fosfonochlorin, some of which are new compounds, was synthesized. The compounds were screened for bioactivity against several clinical and standard microbial isolates. Some were found to have moderate activity. The activity was higher with phenyl protection of the phosphoryl ester groups and α-phenyl substitution. Compound 11 was as effective or more potent than fosfomycin or chloramphenicol against several Gram-negative bacteria as well as against some Gram-positive ones.  相似文献

A series of novel openphendioxan analogues were synthesized and tested at α1-adrenoreceptor (AR) subtypes by binding and functional assays. The α1d-AR binding profile was also examined by means of 2D, 3D-QSAR together with docking studies. Multiple regression analysis suggested the relevance of adequate number of heteroatoms in the whole molecule and of passive membrane diffusion to enhance α1d-AR affinity. Docking simulations against a computational structural model of the biological target further proved this evidence and furnished support for chemiometric analysis, where polar, electrostatic, hydrophobic and shape effects of the ortho substituents in the phenoxy terminal, most likely governing ligand binding, helped the depiction of pharmacophore hypothesis for the examined ligands data set.  相似文献

We have investigated halogen-substituted non-steroidal estrogens with selective binding affinity for the estrogen receptor β (ERβ that might be used for imaging the levels of this ER-subtype in breast tumors by positron emission tomography (PET). Based on diarylpropionitrile (DPN, 1a), a compound previously reported that has a 72-fold binding selectivity for ERβ, we developed a series of DPN analogs having methyl-, hydroxyl-, and halogen substituents, including fluoroethyl and fluoropropyl groups. In competitive radiometric binding assays with [3H]estradiol, all of these DPN analogs showed high ERβ/ERα selectivity; while the selectivity varied, in some cases it reached nearly 300-fold (RBA: ERα, 0.023%; ERβ, 6.25%). The absolute ERβ binding affinities, however, were not sufficient to merit further consideration for developing these ligands as PET imaging agents.  相似文献

Isopropyl- and fluoroisopropyl-amino derivatives of the β(1)-adrenergic receptor antagonist 2-[4-[3-(tert-butyl-amino)-2-hydroxypropoxy]phenyl]-3-methyl-6-methoxy-4(3H)-quinazolinone ((±)HX-CH 44) were synthesized, including a concise and efficient preparation of the core, 2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-6-methoxy-3-methylquinazolin-4(3H)-one. In vitro binding assays showed that the fluorinated analog was selective towards β(1)-adrenergic receptors over β(2)-adrenergic and 5-HT(1A) receptors. An X-ray crystallographic characterization of the fluorinated analog is also reported.  相似文献

Quantum dots (QDs) that are conjugated to small molecule derivatives of drugs and endogenous ligands may be useful tools to study the distribution and dynamic of membrane bound receptors, ion channels and transporters in live cells. In order to use these tools, it is necessary to functionalize QDs with bioactive ligands. In this paper, we successfully synthesized a ligand of α(1)-adrenoceptor that could be conjugated to QDs. In addition, the conjugation of the ligands to QDs and their biological activity were evaluated through binding assay with 30 nM QD conjugates in living human embryonic kidney 293 cells.  相似文献

A series of new 3-methylidenechroman-2-ones bearing various aromatic moieties and various substituents at position 4 were synthesized in a three step reaction sequence. Friedel-Crafts alkylation of phenols or naphthols using ethyl 3-methoxy-2-diethoxyphosphorylacrylate in the presence of trifluoromethanesulphonic acid gave 3-diethoxyphosphorylchromen-2-ones. These compounds were employed as Michael acceptors in the reaction with Grignard reagents to give adducts which were finally used as Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reagents for the olefination of formaldehyde. All obtained 3-methylidenechroman-2-ones were tested against two human leukemia cell lines NALM-6 and HL-60 as well as MCF-7 breast cancer and HT-29 colon cancer adenocarcinomas. Several obtained methylidenechromanones displayed high cytotoxic activity with IC(50) values below 1μM, mainly against leukemia and MCF-7 cell lines. Investigation of structure-activity relationships revealed that the presence of additional, ortho-fused benzene ring and n-butyl or i-propyl group in position 4 enhances the activity. Selected methylidenechromanones were also tested on normal human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and chromanone 14o was found to be eightfold more toxic against MCF-7 than normal cells. Furthermore, antimicrobial assays revealed that chromanone 14n is highly active and bactericidal at concentration equal to MIC or 2MIC against nosocomial and community-associated staphylococci (MRSA) which are resistant to most or all available therapeutic classes of antimicrobial drugs.  相似文献

The study is focused on a series of 5-arylidenehydantoin derivatives with a phenylpiperazine-hydroxypropyl fragment at N3 of the hydantoin ring. The compounds were assessed on their affinity for α(1)-adrenoceptors and evaluated in functional bioassays for their antagonistic properties. Crystal structures of (Z)-5-(4-chlorobenzylidene)-3-(3-(4-(2-ethoxyphenyl)piperazin-1-yl)-2-hydroxypropyl)imidazolidine-2,4-dione (7) and hydrochloride of (Z)-5-(4-chlorobenzylidene)-3-(2-hydroxy-3-(4-(2-methoxyphenyl)piperazin-1-yl)propyl)imidazolidine-2,4-dione (10a) were solved using the X-ray diffraction method. Classical molecular mechanics (MMFFs force field, MCMM, MacroModel) were used to predict 3D structure of compounds 5a-18a using a crystal structure of 7. SAR analysis was performed on the basis of Barbaro's pharmacophore model and structural properties of previously investigated α(1)-adrenoceptor antagonists possessing a hydantoin fragment. Most of the compounds exhibited significant affinities for α(1)-ARs in nanomolar range (40-290 nM). The highest activities (K(i)<75 nM) were observed for compounds possessing a 2-alkoxyphenylpiperazine fragment and two methoxy substituents at the benzylidene moiety. The results indicated that chemical properties, number and positions of substituents at the 5-arylidene fragment influenced the power of α(1)-affinities as follows: 3,4-di CH(3)O>2,4-di CH(3)O>4-Cl>2,3-di CH(3)O>H>4-N(CH(3))(2).  相似文献

We have disclosed our effort to develop caffeic acid derivatives as potent and non-toxic inhibitors of α-MSH-stimulated melanogenesis to treat pigmentation disorders and skin medication including a cosmetic skin-whitening agent. The SAR studies revealed that cyclohexyl ester and secondary amide derivatives of caffeic acid showed significant inhibitory activities.  相似文献

Aminobenzyloxyarylamide derivatives 1a-i and 2a-t were designed and synthesized as novel selective κ opioid receptor (KOR) antagonists. The benzoyl amide moiety of LY2456302 was changed into N-hydroxybenzamide and benzisoxazole-3(2H)-one to investigate whether it could increase the binding affinity or selectivity for KOR. All target compounds were evaluated in radioligand binding assays for opioid receptor binding affinity. These efforts led to the identification of compound 1c (κ Ki = 179.9 nM), which exhibited high affinity for KOR. Moreover, the selectivity of KOR over MOR and DOR increased nearly 2-fold and 7-fold, respectively, compared with (±)LY2456302.  相似文献

Compounds having α,β-unsaturated lactones display a variety of biological activities. Many research groups have tested both natural and unnatural α,β-unsaturated lactones for as-yet undiscovered biological properties. We synthesized α,β-unsaturated lactones with various substituents at the δ-position and studied their immunosuppressive effects, that is, the inhibition of Interleukin-2 (IL-2) production. Among the compounds synthesized, the benzofuran-substituted α,β-unsaturated lactone 4h showed the best inhibitory activity toward IL-2 production in Jurkat e6-1 T lymphocytes (IC(50)=66.9 nM) without cytotoxicity at 10 μM. The results indicated that 4h may be useful as a potent immunosuppressive agent, as well as in IL-2-related studies.  相似文献

Starting from two carbocyclic analogs, a series of 3,3-dimethylpiperidine derivatives was prepared and tested in radioligand binding assays at σ(1) and σ(2) receptors, and at Δ(8)-Δ(7) sterol isomerase (SI) site. The novel compounds mostly bear heterocyclic rings or bicyclic nucleus of differing lipophilicities. Compounds 18a and 19a,b demonstrated the highest σ(1) affinity (K(i)=0.14-0.38 nM) with a good selectivity versus σ(2) binding. Among them, 18a had the lowest ClogD value (3.01) and only 19b was selective versus SI too. Generally, it was observed that more planar and hydrophilic heteronuclei conferred a decrease in affinity for both σ receptor subtypes.  相似文献

A series of new tetrahydroprotoberberine (THPB) derivatives were designed, synthesized, and tested for their binding affinity towards dopamine (D(1) and D(2)) and serotonin (5-HT(1A) and 5-HT(2A)) receptors. Many of the THPB compounds exhibited high binding affinity and activity at the dopamine D(1) receptor, as well as high selectivity for the D(1) receptor over the D(2), 5-HT(1A), and 5-HT(2A) receptors. Among these, compound 19c exhibited a promising D(1) receptor binding affinity (K(i)=2.53nM) and remarkable selectivity versus D(2)R (inhibition=81.87%), 5-HT(1A)R (inhibition=61.70%), and 5-HT(2A)R (inhibition=24.96%). Compared with l-(S)-stepholidine (l-SPD) (D(1)K(i)=6.23nM, D(2)K(i)=56.17nM), compound 19c showed better binding affinity for the D(1) receptor (2.5-fold higher) and excellent D(2)/D(1) selectivity. Functional assays found compounds 18j, 18k, and 19c are pure D(1) receptor antagonists. These results indicate that removing the C10 hydroxy group and introducing a methoxy group at C11 of the pharmacophore of l-SPD can reverse the function of THPB compounds at the D(1) receptor. These results are in accord with molecular docking studies.  相似文献

A novel series of N,N′-bis-methylenedioxybenzyl-alkylenediamines 5a5g have been designed, synthesized and evaluated as bivalent anti-Alzheimer’s disease ligands. The enzyme inhibition assay results indicated that compounds 5e5g inhibit both acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) in the micromolar range (IC50, 2.76–4.24 µM for AChE and 3.02–5.14 µM for BuChE), which was in the same potential as the reference compound rivastigmine (IC50, 5.50 µM for AChE and 1.60 µM for BuChE). It was found that compounds could bind simultaneously to the peripheral and catalytic sites of AChE. β-Amyloid (Aβ) aggregation inhibition assay results showed that compound 5e exhibited highest self-mediated Aβ fibril aggregation inhibition activity (40.3%) with a similar potential as curcumin (41.6%). It was also found that 5e5g did not affect neuroblastoma cell viability at the concentration of 50 μM.  相似文献

In this letter, we describe a series of 4-substituted piperidine and piperazine compounds based on tetrahydroquinoline 1, a compound that shows balanced, low nanomolar binding affinity for the mu opioid receptor (MOR) and the delta opioid receptor (DOR). We have shown that by changing the length and flexibility profile of the side chain in this position, binding affinity is improved at both receptors by a significant degree. Furthermore, several of the compounds described herein display good efficacy at MOR, while simultaneously displaying DOR antagonism. The MOR agonist/DOR antagonist has shown promise in the reduction of negative side effects displayed by selective MOR agonists, namely the development of dependence and tolerance.  相似文献
