Ten N-(3-phenylpropyl)-N'-benzylpiperazines having different substituents on the benzyl moiety were synthesized and evaluated for sigma(1) and sigma(2) receptor binding. The sigma(1) affinities were 0.37-2.80nM, sigma(2) affinities were 1.03-34.3nM, and selectivities, as sigma(2)/sigma(1) affinity ratios, ranged from 1.4 to 52. Three compounds tested in a phenytoin shift binding assay profiled as probable sigma(1) antagonists. Quantitative structure-activity relationships depended on pi(x), MR or E(s) and Hammett sigma values. The hydrophobicity term is negative for sigma(1) binding but positive for sigma(2) binding, indicating a major difference between the pharmacophores. 相似文献

The withanolides 1-3 and 4-5 isolated from Ajuga bracteosa and Withania somnifera, respectively, inhibited acetylcholinesterase (AChE, EC 3.1.1.7) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE, EC 3.1.1.8) enzymes in a concentration-dependent fashion with IC50 values ranging between 20.5 and 49,2 microm and 29.0 and 85.2 microm for AChE and BChE, respectively. Lineweaver-Burk as well as Dixon plots and their secondary replots indicated that compounds 1, 3, and 5 are the linear mixed-type inhibitors of AChE, while 2 and 4 are non-competitive inhibitors of AChE with K(i) values ranging between 20.0 and 45.0 microm. All compounds were found to be non-competitive inhibitors of BChE with K(i) values ranging between 27.7 and 90.6 microm. Molecular docking study revealed that all the ligands are completely buried inside the aromatic gorge of AChE, while compounds 1, 3, and 5 extend up to the catalytic triad. A comparison of the docking results showed that all ligands generally adopt the same binding mode and lie parallel to the surface of the gorge. The superposition of the docked structures demonstrated that the non-flexible skeleton of the ligands always penetrates the aromatic gorge through the six-membered ring A, allowing their simultaneous interaction with more than one subsite of the active center. The affinity of ligands with AChE was found to be the cumulative effects of number of hydrophobic contacts and hydrogen bonding. Furthermore, all compounds also displayed dose-dependent (0.005-1.0 mg/mL) spasmolytic and Ca2+ antagonistic potentials in isolated rabbit jejunum preparations, compound 4 being the most active with an ED50 value of 0.09 +/- 0.001 mg/mL and 0.22 +/- 0.01 microg/mL on spontaneous and K+ -induced contractions, respectively. The cholinesterase inhibitory potential along with calcium antagonistic ability and safe profile in human neutrophil viability assay could make compounds 1-5 possible drug candidates for further study to treat Alzheimer's disease and associated problems. 相似文献

Eleven new derivatives of 4-phenylquinoline, having various substituents at the 2-position of the quinoline ring, were previously synthesized. The antidepressant activities of these derivatives were demonstrated by their antagonism to reserpine-induced hypothermia in mice. The ED50 values were found to be in the range of 12-42 mg/kg (imipramine is 21.0 mg/kg). In the present work, comparative studies of the effects of these new drugs on the cholinergic and histaminergic (H1) systems, as well as their effects on the cardiovascular system, are presented. Both imipramine and trazodone were utilized as standards representing typical and atypical antidepressant drugs, respectively. All these new compounds have very low antihistaminic (H1) activities, as compared to imipramine. In addition, a clear cut separation of the antidepressant activity from the antihistaminic (H1) activity was observed. These compounds have weak anticholinergic (atropine-like properties) activity as compared to imipramine, using the isolated guinea-pig ileum. Animal studies of the cardiac toxicity of these compounds showed reduced lethality for some of them as compared to imipramine. Arrhythmias commonly associated with imipramine were absent for most of these compounds. The effects of these compounds on the heart conduction were determined by electrocardiographic studies. Although some of these compounds do not interfere with heart conduction, as compared to imipramine most were inferior to trazodone. Correlation between the pharmacological activities and structural modifications of these derivatives has also been observed. 相似文献

Three novel coumarin compounds along with two known amide alkaloids were isolated from a methanol extract of the red ants of ChangBai Mountain, Tetramorium sp. Their structures were identified on the basis of IR, 2D NMR ((1)H-(1)H COSY, HSQC, HMBC and NOESY) and HRESIMS analysis. Antibacterial activity of all the compounds was evaluated using KB paper diffusion through measurement of inhibiting zone. It was found that four of all the compounds exhibited significant inhibitory activity against Gram-positive bacteria Bacillus subtilis with MIC values of 25 μg/ml (compounds 1-3) and 15 μg/ml (compound 4). 相似文献

Three human cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1) allelic variants, namely wild-type (CYP1A1.1), CYP1A1.2 (I462V), and CYP1A1.4 (T461N), were expressed as C-terminal His-tagged fusions including a thrombin cleavage site in Spodoptera frugiperda insect cells by baculovirus infection. The variants were expressed with 30-90 nmol (1.8-5.4 mg) spectrally active cytochrome P450 per one liter of culture and purified to electrophoretic homogeneity by Ni-agarose chromatography. The recombinant variants were structurally characterized by UV/Vis, ultracentrifugation, and EPR. Optical and EPR spectra showed all three variants predominantly in high spin state; moreover, EPR indicated changes in the electronic structure of the heme iron of the two mutant variants. Sedimentation equilibrium experiments demonstrated the purified variants in dimeric state in the presence of 0.2% emulgen+0.05% cholate. Higher detergent concentration, the presence of imidazole, and cleavage of the His-tag led to monomerization. Catalytic activity of all purified variants was reconstituted with purified human NADPH-P450 reductase and dilaurylphosphatidylcholine. Enzyme kinetics of ethoxyresorufin O-deethylation revealed similar K(m) ( approximately 0.4 microM) for all variants but slightly different V(max) values (CYP1A1.1: 4.2, CYP1A1.2: 7.0, and CYP1A1.4: 3.0 nmol/min/nmol CYP1A1). The extended C-terminus influenced the enzymatic activity only slightly. All three variants are able to produce significant amounts of all-trans-retinoic acid from all-trans-retinal with V(max) of 4.0, 3.3, and 5.6 nmol/min/nmol CYP1A1 and K(m) values of 111, 83, and 250 microM for CYP1A1.1, CYP1A1.2, and CYP1A1.4, respectively. Availability of the three purified human CYP1A1 variants should facilitate further characterization of their role in metabolism of endogenous and exogenous compounds as well as structural studies. 相似文献

Three new polyketides (-)-1 , (+)-1 , and 2 ) were isolated from the EtOAc extract of the fungus Embellisia eureka, an endophyte of the Moroccan plant Cladanthus arabicus (Asteraceae). The structures of these new compounds were determined on the basis of one- and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy as well as by high-resolution mass spectrometry. The absolute configurations of (-)-1 , (+)-1 , and 2 were determined by TDDFT ECD calculations of solution conformers, online HPLC-ECD analysis, and the modified Mosher method.

The present study illustrates the design and synthesis of new series of 3-trifluoromethylpyrazole tethered chalcone-pyrrole and pyrazoline-pyrrole derivatives. All compounds were further screened for in vitro cytostatic activities on full NCI 60 cancer cell lines at National Cancer Institute, USA. Compounds (2E)-3-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)-1-{4-[3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl]phenyl}prop-2-en-1-one ( 5a ) and (2E)-1-{3-methyl-4-[3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl]phenyl}-3-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-one ( 5c ) displayed significant antiproliferative activity (Growth Percentage: −77.10 and −92.13, respectively at 10 μM concentration) against the UO-31 cell lines from renal cancer and were further selected for assay at 10-fold dilutions of five different concentrations (10−4 to 10−8 M). Both compounds 5a and 5c exhibited promising antiproliferative activity (GI50: 1.36 to 0.27 μM) against leukemia cancer cell lines HL-60 and RPMI-8226, colon cancer cell lines KM-12; breast cancer cell lines BT-549. Moreover, both compounds 5a and 5c were found to be non-cytotoxic (LC50>100) against HL-60, RPMI-8226, and KM-12 cell lines. Remarkably, GI50 values of compounds 5a and 5c were identified as more promising than sunitinib against most cancer cell lines. In silico study of compounds 5a and 5c exemplified the desired ADME properties for drug-likeness as well as tighter interactions with VEGFR-2. Hence, compounds 5a and 5c would be good cytotoxic agents after further clinical study. 相似文献

Two series of non-symmetrical bisquaternary pyridinium–quinolinium and pyridinium–isoquinolinium compounds were prepared as molecules potentially applicable in myasthenia gravis treatment. Their inhibitory ability towards human recombinant acetylcholinesterase and human plasmatic butyrylcholinesterase was determined and the results were compared to the known effective inhibitors such as ambenonium dichloride, edrophonium bromide and experimental compound BW284C51.Two compounds, 1-(10-(pyridinium-1-yl)decyl)quinolinium dibromide and 1-(12-(pyridinium-1-yl)dodecyl)quinolinium dibromide, showed very promising affinity for acetylcholinesterase with their IC50 values reaching nM inhibition of acetylcholinesterase. These most active compounds also showed satisfactory selectivity towards acetylcholinesterase and they seem to be very promising as leading structures for further modifications and optimization. Two of the most promising compounds were examined in the molecular modelling study in order to find the possible interactions between the ligand and tested enzyme. 相似文献

ATP site-directed inhibitors that can target individual kinases are powerful tools for use in signal transduction research, all the more so in the case of a pleiotropic, constitutively active protein kinase such as CK2, which is not turned on in response to specific stimuli. By screening a library of more than 200 derivatives of natural polyphenolic compounds, we have identified 16 molecules which inhibit CK2 with IC(50) values of 相似文献

Three substrate analogs of dopamine beta-hydroxylase, viz. 2-X-3-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-1- propenes (where X = Br, Cl, H), have been synthesized, and all behave as substrates requiring O2 and ascorbate for the enzyme-catalyzed hydroxylation reaction. The products have been characterized by mass spectrometry as the respective 2-X-3-hydroxy-3-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-1- propenes . The relative kcat values for these compounds at pH 5.5, 0.25 mM O2 are 49 min-1 (2-H), 8.6 min-1 (2-Cl), and 7.0 min-1 (2-Br). All three compounds have the characteristics of mechanism-based inhibitors of dopamine beta-hydroxylase since incubation of enzyme with these compounds under turnover conditions leads to a time-dependent loss of activity. The kinact values at pH 5.5, 0.25 mM O2 are 0.08, 0.20, and 0.51 min-1, respectively, for the 2-Br-, 2-Cl-, and 2-H-substituted analogs. No reactivation was observed after exhaustive dialysis of enzyme inactivated by 2-Br-3-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-1-propene, suggesting irreversible inactivation of dopamine beta-hydroxylase. 相似文献

A series of new chromone analogues bearing heterocyclic thioether moiety and aurone analogues bearing cyclic tertiary amine moiety were designed and synthesized under microwave irradiation. The synthetic protocol was found to present many advantages, such as higher yields, shorter reaction time (10-20 min), mild condition, and readily isolation of the products. The synthesized compounds were assayed for their antitumor activity against four kinds of human solid tumor cell lines including HCCLM-7, Hep-2, MDA-MB-435S, and SW-480. Two compounds, (Z)-2-((4-benzyl-piperazin-1-yl)methylene)benzofuran-3(2H)-one 5e and (Z)-2-((4-(bis(4-fluorophenyl)methyl)piperazin-1-yl)methylene)benzofuran-3(2H)-one 5f, were identified as the most promising candidates with the IC(50) values in the range of 4.1-13.1 microM. Further cell cycle studies revealed that compounds 5e and 5f arrest the cell cycle in G(0)/G(1) phase and displayed apoptosis-inducing effect on Hep-2 cells. 相似文献

Designing small molecule inhibitors targeting cholinesterases (ChEs) is considered as an efficient strategy for the treatment of Alzheimer′s disease (AD). In the present study, based on a shaped-based pharmacophore (SBP) model that we reported previously, virtual screening was performed on four commercial compound databases, from which eight small molecules containing new structurally scaffolds were retained and evaluated. In general, six of these potential hits were identified to be selective ChEs inhibitors. Three compounds exhibited IC50 values and Ki values in micromolar range on acetylcholinesterase (AChE), the most active compound 4 showed IC50 value of 6.31 ± 2.68 μM and Ki value of 4.76 μM. Other three compounds displayed IC50 values and Ki values in micromolar range on butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) with high target selectivity, the most active compound 1 showed IC50 value of 3.87 ± 2.48 μM and Ki value of 1.52 μM. Multiple biological evaluations were performed to determine their cytotoxicity, cyto-protective effects, antioxidant effect as well as druglike properties. These compounds provide new cores for the further design and optimization, with the aim to discover new ChEs inhibitors for the treatment of AD. 相似文献

During the last decade, noroviruses have gained media attention as the cause of large scale outbreaks of gastroenteritis on cruise ships, dormitories, nursing homes, etc. Although noroviruses do not multiply in food or water, they can cause large outbreaks because approximately 10-100 virions are sufficient to cause illness in a healthy adult. Recently, it was shown that the activity of acyl-coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase-1 (ACAT1) enzyme may be important in norovirus infection. In search of anti-noroviral agents based on the inhibition of ACAT1, we synthesized and evaluated the inhibitory activities of a class of pyranobenzopyrone molecules containing amino, pyridine, substituted quinolines, or 7,8-benzoquinoline nucleus. Three of the sixteen evaluated compounds possess ED(50) values in the low micrometer range. 2-Quinolylmethyl derivative 3A and 4-quinolylmethyl derivative 4A showed ED(50) values of 3.4 and 2.4 μM and TD(50) values of >200 and 96.4 μM, respectively. The identified active compounds are suitable for further modification for the development of anti-norovirus agents. 相似文献

A series of azaflavone derivatives and analogues were prepared and evaluated for their affinity to the benzodiazepine binding site of the GABA(A) receptor, and compared to their flavone counterparts. Three of the compounds, the azaflavones 9 and 12 as well as the new flavone 13, were also assayed on GABA(A) receptor subtypes (alpha(1)beta(3)gamma(2s), alpha(2)beta(3)gamma(2s), alpha(4)beta(3)gamma(2s) and alpha(5)beta(3)gamma(2s)), displaying nanomolar affinities as well as selectivity for alpha1- versus alpha2- and alpha3-containing receptors by a factor of between 14 and 26. 相似文献

Three of the most frequent antitubercular agents employed against Mycobacterium tuberculosis are: Rifampicin, Isoniazid and
Pyrazinamide. It has been proven that the use of these antitubercular agents together, shortens the treatment period from
12–18 months to 6 months [1]. In this work we use a new Density Functional Theory chemistry model called CHIH-DFT (Chihuahua-Heterocycles-Density Functional
Theory) that reflects the mixture of Hartree Fock exchange and DFT exchange, according to a mixing parameter based on empirical
rules suited for heterocyclic systems. This new chemistry model was used to calculate the molecular structure of these antitubercular
compounds, as well as their infrared, UV spectra, chemical reactivity and electronic properties. The UV and infrared spectra
were obtained by experimental techniques. The calculated molecular structure, UV and IR spectra values from CHIH-DFT were
compared with experimentally obtained values and theoretical studies. These results are in good agreement with experimental
and theoretical studies. We also predicted using the relative electrophilicity and relative nucleophilicity concepts as defined
by Roy et al. [2] the chemical active sites for the three antitubercular compounds as well as their electronegativity, ionization potential,
electron affinity, hardness, dipole moment, EHOMO-ELUMO gap energy, etc.

Telomerase and telomere maintenance are emerging targets for the treatment of human cancers. We report here on the targeting of the telomere-telomerase complex with a series of small molecules based on an acridine platform. A series of 3,6-bisamidoacridines with extended 9-anilino sidechains were designed and synthesised as potential telomeric G-quadruplex DNA (G4) interacting compounds. G4-stabilisation was assessed using a high-throughput FRET (fluorescence resonance energy transfer) assay and telomerase inhibition quantified by a modified TRAP (telomerase repeat amplification protocol) method. Within the series, the compounds showed significant G4-stabilising ability (Delta T(m) values of 25-36 degrees C at 1 microM concentration) and telomerase inhibition in the nanomolar region ((tel)EC(50) values of 80-318 nM). Furthermore, a direct correlation between the FRET and TRAP assays was observed, supporting the use of the rapid screening FRET assay for early assessment of potential G4-stabilising telomerase inhibitors. 相似文献

Eleven new protolimonoids, chisopanins A-K (1-11), were isolated from the twigs of Chisocheton paniculatus, as well as thirteen known (12-24) protolimonoids. The structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analysis, X-ray crystallographic analysis, and chemical methods. Chisopanins A and B (1 and 2) possessing uncommon hemiketal tetrahydropyran ring at C-17 showed the most potent inhibitory activities on lipopolysaccharide-stimulated inflammation factor-release with IC(50) values at 5.4 and 7.9 μM for NO, and at 26.9 and 30.7 μM for TNF-α, respectively. In addition, compounds 5-7, 9, 12, 13, and 20 were potent to inhibit NO production with IC(50) value lower than 10 μM. 相似文献

Three mammalian ADAMTS enzymes, ADAMTS-1, -4 and -5, are known to cleave aggrecan at certain glutamyl bonds and are considered to be largely responsible for cartilage aggrecan catabolism observed during the development of arthritis. We have previously reported that certain catechins, polyphenolic compounds found in highest concentration in green tea (Camellia sinensis), are capable of inhibiting cartilage aggrecan breakdown in an in vitro model of cartilage degradation. We have now cloned and expressed recombinant human ADAMTS-1, -4 and -5 and report here that the catechin gallate esters found in green tea potently inhibit the aggrecan-degrading activity of these enzymes, with submicromolar IC50 values. Moreover, the concentration needed for total inhibition of these members of the ADAMTS group is approximately two orders of magnitude lower than that which is needed to partially inhibit collagenase or ADAM-10 activity. Catechin gallate esters therefore provide selective inhibition of certain members of the ADAMTS group of enzymes and could constitute an important nutritional aid in the prevention of arthritis as well as being part of an effective therapy in the treatment of joint disease and other pathologies involving the action of these enzymes. 相似文献
