The identification of a series of sulfonyl-amino-acetamides as BACE-1 (β-secretase) inhibitors for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease is reported. The derivatives were designed based on the docking simulation study, synthesized and assessed for BACE-1 inhibition in vitro. The designed ligands revealed desired binding interactions with the catalytic aspartate dyad and occupance of S1 and S2′ active site regions. These in silico results correlated well with in vitro activity. Out of 33 compounds synthesized, 12 compounds showed significant inhibition at 10 μM concentration. The most active compound 2.17S had IC50 of 7.90 μM against BACE-1, which was concomitant with results of in silico docking study. 相似文献

An increased expression of UBE2C (Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2C) has been associated with high tumor grade and cancer
progression. It is an essential indicator of the mitotic destruction events. Our microarray study on cervical cancers showed UBE2C
to be over expressed in cervical cancer. Subsequent studies from our laboratory, showed that inhibition of UBE2C can enhance
radiation and chemosensitivity. Therefore it can be an appropriate target for drug development to identify potential and specific
inhibitor of cancer. To identify small molecule inhibitors, a computational approach was used to model UBE2C and further docking
studies were carried out. Different ligand subsets such as ChemBank, PDB, KEGG, Drug-likeness NCI, Not annotated NCI of
ligand library ligands were downloaded and docked with UBE2C. Schrodinger tools were used for identifying active sites and
docking studies of ligands with UBE2C. Based on glide score, the potential ligands were screened and its interaction with UBE2C
was identified. We also analyzed the drug like properties such as absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity
(ADME/T) of docked compounds. Our results suggest that 2,4-diimino-1-methyl-1,3,5-triazepan-6-one, sulfuric acid compound
with 5,6-diamino-2,4-pyrimidinediol (1:1) and 7-alpha-d-ribofuranosyl-2-aminopurine-5''-phosphate may act as best inhibitors and
further in vitro studies, may lead to development of novel and best inhibitor of UBE2C. 相似文献

A novel class of pyridinyl aminohydantoins was designed and prepared as highly potent BACE1 inhibitors. Compound (S)-4g showed excellent potency with IC50 of 20 nM for BACE1. X-ray crystallography indicated that the interaction between pyridine nitrogen and the tryptophan Trp76 was a key feature in the S2′ region of the enzyme that contributed to increased potency. 相似文献

Based on lead compound 1 identified from the patent literature, we developed novel patentable BACE-1 inhibitors by introducing a cyclic amine scaffold. Extensive SAR studies on both pyrrolidines and piperidines ultimately led to inhibitor 2f, one of the most potent inhibitors synthesized to date. 相似文献

Alzheimer disease (AD) is a neuronal dementia for which no treatment has been consolidated yet. Major pathologic hallmark of AD is the aggregated extracellular amyloid-β plaques in the brains of disease sufferers. Aβ-peptide is a major component of amyloid plaques and is produced from amyloid precursor protein (APP) via the proteolysis action. An aspartyl protease known as β-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme (BACE-1) is responsible for this proteolytic action. Distinctive role of BACE-1 in AD pathogenesis has made it a validated target to develop anti-Alzheimer agents. Our structure-based virtual screening method led to the synthesis of novel 3,5-bis-N-(aryl/heteroaryl) carbamoyl-4-aryl-1,4-dihydropyridine BACE-1 inhibitors (6a–6p; in vitro hits). Molecular docking and DFT-based ab initio studies using B3LYP functional in association with triple-ζ basis set (TZV) proposed binding mode and binding energies of ligands in the active site of the receptor. In vitro BACE-1 inhibitory activities were determined by enzymatic fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) assay. Most of the synthesized dihydropyridine scaffolds were active against BACE-1 while 6d, 6k, 6n and 6a were found to be the most potent molecules with IC50 values of 4.21, 4.27, 4.66 and 6.78 μM, respectively. Superior BACE-1 inhibitory activities were observed for dihydropyridine derivatives containing fused/nonfused thiazole containing groups, possibly attributing to the additional interactions with S2–S3 subpocket residues. Relatively reliable correlation between calculated binding energies and experimental BACE-1 inhibitory activities was achieved (R2 = 0.51). Moreover, compounds 6d, 6k, 6n and 6a exhibited relatively no calcium channel blocking activity with regard to nifedipine suggesting them as appropriate candidates for further modification(s) to BACE-1 inhibitory scaffolds. 相似文献

Human immunodeficiency virus-1 integrase (HIV-1 IN) inserts the viral DNA into host cell chromatin in a multistep process. This enzyme exists in equilibrium between monomeric, dimeric, tetrameric and high order oligomeric states. However, monomers of IN are not capable of supporting its catalytic functions and the active form has been shown to be at least a dimer. As a consequence, the development of inhibitors targeting IN dimerization constitutes a promising novel antiviral strategy. In this work, we successfully combined different computational techniques in order to identify small molecule inhibitors of IN dimerization. Additionally, a novel AlphaScreen-based IN dimerization assay was used to evaluate the inhibitory activities of the selected compounds. To the best of our knowledge, this study represents the first successful virtual screening and evaluation of small molecule HIV-1 IN dimerization inhibitors, which may serve as attractive hit compounds for the development of novel anti-HIV. 相似文献

The phosphoinositide 3-kinase/3-phosphoinositide-dependent kinase 1 (PDK1)/Akt signaling pathway plays a key role in cancer cell growth, survival, and tumor angiogenesis and represents a promising target for anticancer drugs. Here, we describe three potent PDK1 inhibitors, BX-795, BX-912, and BX-320 (IC(50) = 11-30 nm) and their initial biological characterization. The inhibitors blocked PDK1/Akt signaling in tumor cells and inhibited the anchorage-dependent growth of a variety of tumor cell lines in culture or induced apoptosis. A number of cancer cell lines with elevated Akt activity were >30-fold more sensitive to growth inhibition by PDK1 inhibitors in soft agar than on tissue culture plastic, consistent with the cell survival function of the PDK1/Akt signaling pathway, which is particularly important for unattached cells. BX-320 inhibited the growth of LOX melanoma tumors in the lungs of nude mice after injection of tumor cells into the tail vein. The effect of BX-320 on cancer cell growth in vitro and in vivo indicates that PDK1 inhibitors may have clinical utility as anticancer agents. 相似文献

Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) represents an important tumor-selective therapeutic target for solid tumors. In search of novel small molecule HIF-1 inhibitors, 5400 natural product-rich extracts from plants, marine organisms, and microbes were examined for HIF-1 inhibitory activities using a cell-based reporter assay. Bioassay-guided fractionation and isolation, followed by structure elucidation, yielded three potent natural product-derived HIF-1 inhibitors and two structurally related inactive compounds. In a T47D cell-based reporter assay, manassantin B1, manassantin A, and 4-O-methylsaucerneol inhibited hypoxia-induced HIF-1 activation with IC50 values of 3, 3, and 20 nM, respectively. All three compounds are relatively hypoxia-specific inhibitors of HIF-1 activation, in comparison to other stimuli. The hypoxic induction of HIF-1 target genes CDKN1A, VEGF, and GLUT-1 were also inhibited. These compounds inhibit HIF-1 by blocking hypoxia-induced nuclear HIF-1alpha protein accumulation without affecting HIF-1alpha mRNA levels. In addition, preliminary structure-activity studies suggest specific structural requirements for this class of HIF-1 inhibitors. 相似文献

An effective approach for enhancing the selectivity of beta-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme (BACE 1) inhibitors is developed based on the unique features of the S1' pocket of the enzyme. A series of low molecular weight (<600) compounds were synthesized with different moieties at the P1' position. The selectivity of BACE 1 inhibitors versus cathepsin D and renin was enhanced 120-fold by replacing the hydrophobic propyl group with a hydrophilic propionic acid group. 相似文献

DEPTOR is a 48 kDa protein that binds to mTOR and inhibits this kinase within mTORC1 and mTORC2 complexes. Over-expression of DEPTOR specifically occurs in the multiple myeloma (MM) tumor model and DEPTOR knockdown is cytotoxic to MM cells, suggesting it is a potential therapeutic target. Since mTORC1 paralysis protects MM cells against DEPTOR knockdown, it indicates that the protein–protein interaction between DEPTOR and mTOR is key to MM viability vs death. In a previous study, we used a yeast two-hybrid screen of a small inhibitor library to identify a compound that inhibited DEPTOR/mTOR binding in yeast. This therapeutic (compound B) also prevented DEPTOR/mTOR binding in MM cells and was selectively cytotoxic to MM cells. We now present a structure–activity relationship (SAR) study around this compound as a follow-up report of this previous work. This study has led to the discovery of five new leads – namely compounds 3g, 3k, 4d, 4e and 4g – all of which have anti-myeloma cytotoxic properties superior to compound B. Due to their targeting of DEPTOR, these compounds activate mTORC1 and selectively induce MM cell apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. 相似文献

A simple protocol for generating a highly stable and active surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor surface of recombinant human hexahistidine cyclophilin A (His-CypA) is described. The sensor surface was sensitive and stable enough to allow, for the first time, the screening and ranking of several novel small-molecule (Mr approximately 250-500 Da) ligands in a competition binding assay with cyclosporin A (CsA). It also allowed us to accurately determine the kinetic rate constants for the interaction between His-CypA and CsA. His-CypA was first captured on a Ni2+-nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) sensor chip and was then briefly covalently stabilized, coupling via primary amines. The significant baseline drift observed due to dissociation of weakly bound His-CypA from the Ni2+-NTA moiety was eliminated, resulting in a surface that was stable for at least 36 h. In addition, immobilized protein activity levels were high, typically between 85 and 95%, assayed by the interaction between His-CypA and CsA. The mean equilibrium dissociation constant for CsA (K(dCsA)) binding to the immobilized His-CypA was 23+/-6 nM, with on and off rates of 0.53+/-0.1 microM(-1) s(-1) and 1.2+/-0.1 (x 10(-2)) s(-1), respectively. These values agree well with the values for the corresponding binding constants determined from steady-state and kinetic fluorescence titrations in solution. 相似文献

New amino-1,4-oxazine derived BACE-1 inhibitors were explored and various synthetic routes developed. The binding mode of the inhibitors was elucidated by co-crystallization of 4 with BACE-1 and X-ray analysis. Subsequent optimization led to inhibitors with low double digit nanomolar activity in a biochemical and single digit nanomolar potency in a cellular assays. To assess the inhibitors for their permeation properties and potential to cross the blood-brain-barrier a MDR1-MDCK cell model was successfully applied. Compound 8a confirmed the in vitro results by dose-dependently reducing Aβ levels in mice in an acute treatment regimen. 相似文献

The deposition of beta-amyloid peptides (A beta42 and A beta40) in neuritic plaques is one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD). A beta peptides are derived from sequential cleavage of amyloid precursor protein (APP) by beta- and gamma-secretases. BACE-1 has been shown to be the major beta-secretase and is a primary therapeutic target for AD. In this article, two novel assays for the characterization of BACE-1 inhibitors are reported. The first is a sensitive 96-well HPLC biochemical assay that uses a unique substrate containing an optimized peptide cleavage sequence, NFEV, spanning from the P2-P2' positions This substrate was processed by BACE-1 approximately 10 times more efficiently than was the widely used substrate containing the Swedish (NLDA) sequence. As a result, the concentration of the enzyme required for the assay can be as low as 100 pM, permitting the evaluation of inhibitors with subnanomolar potency. The assay has also been applied to related aspartyl proteases such as cathepsin D (Cat D) and BACE-2. The second assay is a homogeneous electrochemiluminescence assay for the evaluation of BACE-1 inhibition in cultured cells that assesses the level of secreted amyloid EV40_NF from HEK293T cells stably transfected with APP containing the novel NFEV sequence. To illustrate the use of these assays, the properties of a potent, cell-active BACE-1 inhibitor are described. 相似文献

Basic molecular building blocks such as benzene rings, amidines, guanidines, and amino groups have been combined in a systematic way to generate ligand candidates for HIV-1 TAR RNA. Ranking of the resulting compounds was achieved in a fluorimetric Tat-TAR competition assay. Although simple molecules such as phenylguanidine are inactive, few iteration steps led to a set of ligands with IC50 values ranging from 40 to 150 μM. 1,7-Diaminoisoquinoline 17 and 2,4,6-triaminoquinazoline 22 have been further characterized by NMR titrations with TAR RNA. Compound 22 is bound to TAR at two high affinity sites and shows slow exchange between the free ligand and the RNA complex. These results encourage investigations of dimeric ligands built from two copies of compound 22 or related heterocycles. 相似文献

We carried out docking and molecular dynamics simulations on ABT-737 and obatoclax, which are inhibitors of the Bcl-2 family of proteins. We modeled the binding mode of ABT-737 with Bcl-x(L) , Bcl-2, and Mcl-1 and examined their dynamical behavior. We found that the binding of the chlorobiphenyl end of ABT-737 was quite stable across all three proteins. However, the phenylpiperazine linker group was dramatically more mobile in Mcl-1 compared to either Bcl-x(L) or Bcl-2. The S-phenyl group at the p4 binding site was well-anchored in Bcl-x(L) and Bcl-2 but was somewhat more mobile in Mcl-1 although the phenyl ring itself on average stayed close to the p4 binding site in Mcl-1. This greater mobility is likely due to the greater openness of the p3 and p4 binding sites on Mcl-1. The calculated binding free energies were consistent with the much weaker binding affinity of ABT-737 for Mcl-1. Obatoclax was predicted to bind at the p1 and p2 binding sites of Mcl-1 and the binding mode was quite stable during the molecular dynamics simulation with Mcl-1 wrapping around the molecule. The modeled binding mode suggests that obatoclax is able to inhibit all three proteins because it makes use of the p1 and p2 binding sites alone, which is a fairly narrow groove in all three proteins unlike the p4 binding site, which is much broader in Mcl-1. 相似文献

Prostate cancer is the most frequently diagnosed malignancy and the leading cause of cancer related death in men. First line therapy for disseminated disease relies on androgen deprivation, leveraging the addiction of these tumors on androgens for both growth and survival. Treatment typically involves antagonizing the androgen receptor (AR) or blocking the synthesis of androgens. Recurrence is common and within 2–3 years patients develop castration resistant tumors that become unresponsive to AR-axis targeted therapies. In order to provide a more effective treatment, we are utilizing an approach that targets a key scaffolding protein, Sigma1 (also known as sigma-1 receptor), a unique 26-kilodalton integral membrane protein that is critical in stabilizing the AR. Herein we report on a new series of Sigma1 compounds for lead optimization derived from a hybrid pharmacophore approach. 相似文献

DNA G-quadruplex is an attractive drug target for anticancer therapy. Most G-quadruplex ligands have little selectivity, due to π-stacking interaction with common G-tetrads surface. Thanks to the varieties of G-quadruplex grooves, the groove-binding ligand is expected to create high selectivity. Therefore, developing novel molecular geometries that target G-quadruplex groove has been paid growing attention. In this work, steroid FG, a special nonplanar and nonaromatic small molecule, interacting with different conformations of G-quadruplexes has been studied by molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations. The results showed the selectivity of the hydrophobic group of steroid FG for the wide groove of antiparallel G-quadruplex. The methyl groups on the tetracyclic ring of steroid represent the specific binding ability for the small hydrophobic cavity formed by reversed stacking of G-tetrads in antiparallel G-quadruplex groove. This work provides new insight for developing new classes of G-quadruplex groove-binding ligands. 相似文献
