A series of N-substituted 3-(2-mercaptoethyl)-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acids were synthesized as inhibitors of glutamate carboxypeptidase II (GCPII). Those containing carboxybenzyl or carboxyphenyl groups at the N-position exhibited potent inhibitory activity against GCPII. These indole-based compounds represent the first example of achiral GCPII inhibitors and demonstrate greater tolerance of the GCPII active site for ligands with significant structural difference from the endogenous substrate, N-acetyl-aspartylglutamate.  相似文献

Based on previous Topoisomerase II docking studies of naphthoquinone derivatives, a series of naphthoquinone-coumarin conjugates was synthesized through a multicomponent reaction from aromatic aldehydes, 4-hydroxycoumarin and 2-hydroxynaphthoquinone. The hybrid structures were evaluated against the α isoform of human topoisomerase II (hTopoIIα), Escherichia coli DNA Gyrase and E. coli Topoisomerase I. All tested compounds inhibited the hTopoIIα-mediated relaxation of negatively supercoiled circular DNA in the low micromolar range. This inhibition was specific since neither DNA Gyrase nor Topoisomerase I were affected. Cleavage assays pointed out that naphthoquinone-coumarins act by catalytically inhibiting hTopoIIα. ATPase assays and molecular docking studies further pointed out that the mode of action is related to the hTopoIIα ATP-binding site.  相似文献

Phosphonate and phosphinate analogues of N-acylated gamma-glutamylglutamate were tested for the ability to inhibit glutamate carboxypeptidase II (GCP II). All of the compounds inhibit GCP II with IC(50) values in the low nanomolar range. The comparison of the results to previously reported inhibitory studies of the same compounds toward folylpoly-gamma-glutamyl synthetase (FPGS) and gamma-glutamyl hydrolase (gamma-GH) provides insight into structural and mechanistic features of each enzyme. Potential utility of these compounds as diagnostic agents and probes to understand folate or antifolate poly-gamma-glutamates metabolism is also described.  相似文献

A series of carbamate-based inhibitors of glutamate carboxypeptidase II (GCPII) were designed and synthesized using ZJ-43, N-[[[(1S)-1-carboxy-3-methylbutyl]amino]carbonyl]-l-glutamic acid, as a molecular template in order to better understand the impact of replacing one of the two nitrogen atoms in the urea-based GCPII inhibitor with an oxygen atom. Compound 7 containing a C-terminal 2-oxypentanedioic acid was more potent than compound 5 containing a C-terminal glutamic acid (2-aminopentanedioic acid) despite GCPII’s preference for peptides containing an N-terminal glutamate as substrates. Subsequent crystallographic analysis revealed that ZJ-43 and its two carbamate analogs 5 and 7 with the same (S,S)-stereochemical configuration adopt a nearly identical binding mode while (R,S)-carbamate analog 8 containing a d-leucine forms a less extensive hydrogen bonding network. QM and QM/MM calculations have identified no specific interactions in the GCPII active site that would distinguish ZJ-43 from compounds 5 and 7 and attributed the higher potency of ZJ-43 and compound 7 to the free energy changes associated with the transfer of the ligand from bulk solvent to the protein active site as a result of the lower ligand strain energy and solvation/desolvation energy. Our findings underscore a broader range of factors that need to be taken into account in predicting ligand-protein binding affinity. These insights should be of particular importance in future efforts to design and develop GCPII inhibitors for optimal inhibitory potency.  相似文献

In this study, a series of carbazole-rhodanine conjugates was synthesized and evaluated for their Topoisomerase II inhibition potency as well as cytotoxicity against a panel of four human cancer cell lines. Among these thirteen compounds, 3a, 3b, 3g, and 3h possessed Topoisomerase II inhibition potency at 20?μM. Mechanism study revealed that these compounds may function as Topo II catalytic inhibitors. It was found that the electron-withdrawing groups on the phenyl ring of compounds played an important role on enhancing both enzyme inhibition and cytotoxicity.  相似文献

Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is a type II cytokine which is associated with most inflammatory allergic disorders in humans. It is produced mainly by epithelial cells with important role in the development of chronic inflammatory diseases by activating T-helper cell type-2 (TH2) pathways. In this study, a total of 16 peptides were prepared by solid phase peptide synthesis based on amino acid sequences of the interface between TSLP and TSLP receptor. Their TSLP inhibition activities were determined by ELISA assay. Among them, three peptides (6?8) exhibited >50% inhibition at concentration of 0.3 mM. They can be used as hit compounds for developing peptide-based TSLP inhibitors.  相似文献

New inhibitors of the bacterial transferase MraY are described. Their structure is based on an aminoribosyl-O-uridine like scaffold, readily obtained in two key steps. The amino group can be coupled with proline or guanylated. Alternatively, these amino, prolinyl or guanidinyl groups can be introduced through a triazole linker. Biological evaluation of these compounds on MraY from Bacillus subtilis revealed interesting inhibitory activity for both amino compounds.  相似文献

To reduce the pro-angiogenic effects of sEH inhibition, a structure–activity relationship (SAR) study was performed by incorporating structural features of the anti-angiogenic multi-kinase inhibitor sorafenib into soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) inhibitors. The structural modifications of this series of molecules enabled the altering of selectivity towards the pro-angiogenic kinases C-RAF and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2), while retaining their sEH inhibition. As a result, sEH inhibitors with greater potency against C-RAF and VEGFR-2 were obtained. Compound 4 (t-CUPM) possesses inhibition potency higher than sorafenib towards sEH but similar against C-RAF and VEGFR-2. Compound 7 (t-CUCB) selectively inhibits sEH, while inhibiting HUVEC cell proliferation, a potential anti-angiogenic property, without liver cancer cell cytotoxicity. The data presented suggest a potential rational approach to control the angiogenic responses stemming from sEH inhibition.  相似文献

Firstly, a series of Isosteviol derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for FXa inhibitory activity. Among these compounds, the inhibitory activity of compounds 22, 35 and 38 on FXa was better than that of Isosteviol. Secondly, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) assays were performed for selected compounds. Compounds 22, 35, 38 have similar kinetic signatures, and affinity values were at μM level. Thirdly, compounds 22 and 35 displayed moderate-to-high anticoagulation activity and showed similar sensitivity to PT and aPTT. These findings will provide new insight into the exploration of FXa inhibition.  相似文献

Novel rhodesain inhibitors were developed by combining an enantiomerically pure 3-bromoisoxazoline warhead with a 1,4-benzodiazepine scaffold as specific recognition moiety. All compounds were proven to inhibit rhodesain with Ki values in the low-micromolar range. Their activity towards rhodesain was found to be coupled to an in vitro antitrypanosomal activity, with IC50 values ranging from the mid-micromolar to a low-micromolar value for the most active rhodesain inhibitor (R,S,S)-3. All compounds showed a good selectivity against the target enzyme since all of them were proven to be poor inhibitors of human cathepsin L.  相似文献

Excessive calpain activations contribute to serious cellular damage and have been found in many pathological conditions. Novel chromone carboxamides derived from ketoamides were prepared and evaluated for mu-calpain inhibition. Among synthesized, compound 2i was the most potent calpain inhibitor with an IC(50) value of 0.24 +/- 0.11 microM comparable to the activity of peptide aldehyde calpain inhibitor MDL 28,170. Furthermore, compound 2i showed higher selectivity for mu-calpain over two related cysteine proteases cathepsin B and cathepsin L, suggesting the chromone ring as a good scaffold for selective mu-calpain inhibitors.  相似文献

Aggrecanases are recently discovered enzymes that cleave aggrecan, a key component of cartilage. Aggrecanase inhibitors may provide a unique means to halt the progression of cartilage destruction in osteoarthritis. The synthesis and evaluation of biphenylsulfonamidocarboxylic acid inhibitors of aggrecanase-1 are reported. Compound 24 demonstrated 89% inhibition of proteoglycan degradation at 10 microg/mL and has an oral bioavailability in rat of 35%.  相似文献

Proteomics, the study of protein function on a global scale, will play an important role in furthering our understanding of gene functions, complex biological pathways, and discovery of novel drug targets. A number of techniques have been developed for proteomic studies to identify and analyze proteins, compare protein expression levels, and study protein-protein interactions. Recent developments have applied a DNA array-type approach to immobilize proteins on a surface for high-throughput analysis. Here we report the development and construction of protein chips using derivatized glass and nitrocellulose-coated slides and the employment of recombinant proteins fused with green and red fluorescent proteins for detection. Fluorescent signals were found to be proportional to the amount of arrayed proteins and could be readily detected with a conventional fluorescence slide scanner. This technique allows the investigation of protein-protein interactions without the need for additional labeling steps of probe proteins.  相似文献

The chemical synthesis of a series of new penam sulfone derivatives bearing a 2beta-substituted-oxyimino and -hydrazone substituents, their beta-lactamase inhibitory properties against selected enzymes representing class A and C beta-lactamases are reported. The oxime containing penam sulfones strongly inhibited the Escherichia coli TEM-1 and Klebsiella pneumoniae cefotaximase (CTX-1) enzymes, but moderately inhibited the Pseudomonas aeruginosa 46012 cephalosporinase; while the 2beta-substituted-hydrazone derivatives were generally less active against these enzymes. Furthermore, most of the inhibitors enhanced the antibacterial activities of piperacillin (PIP) and ceftazidime (CAZ) particularly against TEM-1 and CTX-1 producing bacterial strains.  相似文献

We report the first synthesis of a 5S penem, known to bind bacterial type I signal peptidase, from the commercially available and inexpensive 6-aminopenicillanic acid. We report the first in vivo activity of the compound and use structure–activity relationship studies to begin to define the determinants of signal peptidase binding and also to begin to optimize the penem as an antibiotic.  相似文献

A novel series of 3,5-diaminoindazoles were prepared and found to be CDK inhibitors. Potent inhibitors against CDK1 and CDK2 were obtained by introduction of 1lambda(6)-isothiazolidine-1,1-dioxide at 5-position of indazole. Anti-proliferative activities of compounds were evaluated using EJ, HCT116, SW620, and A549 cancer cell lines.  相似文献

A series of polyhydroxy benzophenone were synthesized and evaluated as mushroom tyrosinase inhibitors. The results demonstrated that most of the target compounds had remarkable inhibitory activities on mushroom tyrosinase. Among all these compounds, 2,3,4,3′,4′,5′-hexahydroxy-diphenylketone 10 was found to be the most potent tyrosinase inhibitor with IC50 value of 1.4 μM. In addition, the inhibition kinetics analyzed by Lineweaver–Burk plots revealed that such compounds were competitive inhibitors. These results suggested that such compounds might be utilized for the development of new candidate for treatment of dermatological disorders.  相似文献

Oblongifolin C, one of the polyprenylated benzoylphloroglucinol natural products (PPAPs) isolated from the fruits of Garcinia yunnanensis Hu, was recently discovered to be a potent anti-tumor agent. A collection of 12 derivatives with modifications on the benzophenone moieties were synthesized and tested for c-Met kinase inhibition and cytotoxicity against the HepG2, Miapaca-2, HCC827, Hela, A549, AGS, and HT-29 cell lines in vitro. An oxidized derivative, 10, was found to possess strong inhibition and anti-migration properties in the HCC827 cell line and serves as a potential lead compound for the development of new anticancer drugs. In addition, structure–activity relationships (SAR) were also evaluated to provide key information for future anticancer drug development.  相似文献
