The physiological role of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is not yet fully understood, and investigation is hampered by the limited solubility of reported AhR ligands in aqueous media. To achieve improved solubility, we focused on our previous finding that planarity-disruption of molecules leads to less efficient crystal packing and greater aqueous solubility. Here, we describe chemical modification of an AhR agonist, β-naphthoflavone, focusing on planarity-disruption. As expected, introduction of substituents at the ortho-positions of the phenyl group resulted in greater solubility. Among the compounds prepared, the fluoro analog showed more potent AhR agonistic activity and greater solubility than did β-naphthoflavone. Our results indicate that this strategy to improve aqueous solubility, that is, introduction of substituent(s) that disrupt planarity, may be generally applicable to bicyclic molecules. 相似文献

Most antiviral treatment options target the invading pathogen and unavoidably encounter loss of efficacy as the pathogen mutates to overcome replication restrictions. A good strategy for circumventing drug resistance, or for pathogens without treatment options, is to target host cell proteins that are utilized by viruses during infection. The small molecule WP1130 is a selective deubiquitinase inhibitor shown previously to successfully reduce replication of noroviruses and some other RNA viruses. In this study, we screened a library of 31 small molecule derivatives of WP1130 to identify compounds that retained the broad-spectrum antiviral activity of the parent compound in vitro but exhibited improved drug-like properties, particularly increased aqueous solubility. Seventeen compounds significantly reduced murine norovirus infection in murine macrophage RAW 264.7 cells, with four causing decreases in viral titers that were similar or slightly better than WP1130 (1.9 to 2.6 log scale). Antiviral activity was observed following pre-treatment and up to 1 hour postinfection in RAW 264.7 cells as well as in primary bone marrow-derived macrophages. Treatment of the human norovirus replicon system cell line with the same four compounds also decreased levels of Norwalk virus RNA. No significant cytotoxicity was observed at the working concentration of 5 µM for all compounds tested. In addition, the WP1130 derivatives maintained their broad-spectrum antiviral activity against other RNA viruses, Sindbis virus, LaCrosse virus, encephalomyocarditis virus, and Tulane virus. Thus, altering structural characteristics of WP1130 can maintain effective broad-spectrum antiviral activity while increasing aqueous solubility. 相似文献

A single crystal was obtained of a lead B-Raf(V600E) inhibitor with low aqueous solubility. The X-ray crystal structure revealed hydrogen-bonded head-to-tail dimers formed by the pyrazolopyridine and sulfonamide groups of a pair of molecules. This observation suggested a medicinal chemistry strategy to disrupt crystal packing and reduce the high crystal lattice energy of alternative inhibitors. Both a bulkier group at the interface of the dimer and an out-of-plane substituent were required to decrease the compound's melting point and increase aqueous solubility. These substituents were selected based on previously developed structure-activity relationships so as to concurrently maintain good enzymatic and cellular activity against B-Raf(V600E). 相似文献

HIV-1 protease inhibitors (PI) with an N-arylpyrrole moiety in the P(3) position afforded excellent antiviral potency and substantially improved aqueous solubility over previously reported variants. The rapid in vitro clearance of these compounds in human liver microsomes prompted oral coadministration with indinavir to hinder their metabolism by the cyctochrome P450 3A4 isozyme and allow for in vivo PK assessment. 相似文献

A series of new unsymmetrical C-substituted ethylenediamines was prepared. The substituents included branched chain alkyl, cycloalkyl, and phenyl groups. Twenty-eight new platinum compounds were prepared from these diamines and were tested for activity against leukemia L1210. The cycloalkyl substituted ethylenediamines produced especially active compounds. The phenyl-substituted analogs were generally low in activity. The activity of the complexes was compared to aqueous solubility, organic solubility, and amphipathic character. There was good indication that antitumor activity increased as aqueous solubility and hydrophilic character of the molecules increased. 相似文献

Stimulation of Aryl Hydrocarbon Hydroxylase Induction in Cell Cultures by Interferon 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6 下载免费PDF全文
In cell cultures previously treated with homologous interferon, the magnitude of antiviral activity and the degree of stimulation of aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase induction appear to be directly related. In a highly purified mouse interferon preparation, the factor stimulating hydroxylase induction and the factor directing antiviral activity are inactivated by heating to 70 C or by treating with trypsin. Also, both activities demonstrate species specificity. 相似文献

A series of naphthyridinone HIV-1 integrase strand-transfer inhibitors have been designed based on a psdeudo-C2 symmetry element present in the two-metal chelation pharmacophore. A combination of two distinct inhibitor binding modes resulted in potent inhibition of the integrase strand-transfer reaction in the low nM range. Effects of aryl and N1 substitutions are disclosed including the impact on protein binding adjusted antiviral activity. 相似文献

Crude extracts of leaves and bark of E. jambolana were tested for antiviral activity against highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (H5N1) by CPE reduction assay in three different layouts to elucidate virucidal, post-exposure and preexposure antiviral activity of the extracts. The cold and hot aqueous extracts of bark and hot aqueous extract of leaves of E. jambolana showed significant virucidal activity (100% inhibition) which was further confirmed in virus yield reduction assay (-98 to 99% reduction) and by egg based in ovo assay. The selective index (CC50/EC50) of hot aqueous extract (248) and cold aqueous extract (43.5) of bark of E. jambolana showed their antiviral potential against H5N1 virus. The significant virucidal activity of leaves and bark of E. jambolana merits further investigation as it may provide alternative antiviral agent for managing avian influenza infections in poultry farms and potential avian-human transmission. 相似文献

Protein aggregation can have dramatic effects on cellular function and plays a causative role in many human diseases. In all cells, molecular chaperones bind to aggregation-prone proteins and hinder aggregation. The ability of a protein to resist aggregation and remain soluble in aqueous solution is linked to the physical properties of the protein. Numerous physical studies demonstrate that charged atoms favor solubility. We note that many molecular chaperones possess a substantial negative charge that may allow them to impart solubility on aggregation-prone proteins. Hsp90 is one such negatively charged molecular chaperone. The charge on Hsp90 is largely concentrated in two highly acidic regions. To investigate the relationship between chaperone charge and protein solubility, we deleted these charge-rich regions and analyzed the resulting Hsp90 constructs for anti-aggregation activity. We found that deletion of both charge-rich regions dramatically impaired Hsp90 anti-aggregation activity. The anti-aggregation role of the deleted charge-rich regions could be due to net charge or sequence-specific features. To distinguish these possibilities, we attached an acid-rich region with a distinct amino acid sequence to our double-deleted Hsp90 construct. This charge rescue construct displayed effective anti-aggregation activity indicating that the net charge of Hsp90 contributes to its anti-aggregation activity. 相似文献

Amino acid-nucleotide conjugates have important biological functions and therapeutic applications. For example, aminoacyl adenylates are key intermediates in aminoacyl tRNA synthetase reactions. They may also be involved in the prebiotic synthesis of polypeptides. Finally, various amino acid carbomethoxy aryl phosphoramidates of nucleotide prodrugs may be activated through a mechanism involving a pentacoordinated phosphorane intermediates. In order to understand better the chemistry of these compounds, a phenylalanyl adenylate pentacoodinated phosphorane has been synthesized in 72% yield and its decomposition in aqueous solution studied. Hydrolysis gave 2('),3(')-O-isopropylidene adenosine 5(')-monophosphate, 2('),3(')-O-isopropylidene adenosine, and phenylalanine. The results provide model chemistry for the enzymatic degradation mechanism of antiviral aryl amino acid phosphodiester amidates in cells, which leads to their activation. 相似文献

N-(fatty acyl) O-aryloxyacetyl ethanolamines, prepared from N-acylethanolamine (NAE) and aryloxyacetic acid, were tested for plant growth regulating activity. Compared with N-stearoylethanolamine, most compounds exhibit improved plant growth stimulating activity. In particular, those with chlorine on aryl ring show better activity than 2,4-dichlorophenyloxyacetic acid in stimulating hypocotyls elongation of rape which indicates that chlorine on aryl ring appears significant. Moreover, these derivatives display improved solubility. 相似文献

Next generation NNRTIs are sought which possess both broad spectrum antiviral activity against key mutant strains and a high genetic barrier to the selection of new mutant viral strains. Pyridones were evaluated as an acyclic conformational constraint to replace the aryl ether core of MK-4965 (1) and the more rigid indazole constraint of MK-6186 (2). The resulting pyridone compounds are potent inhibitors of HIV RT and have antiviral activity in cell culture that is superior to other next generation NNRTI’s. 相似文献

A number of compounds having antiviral and antibacterial (antistaphylococcal) activity was found in the beta,beta-dichlorvinyl- and alpha-chlor(alpha-oxy)-beta,beta,beta-trichlorethylamide series of carboxylic acids. The antistaphylococcal activity of the compounds under study was found to depend, to a certain extent, ontheir chemical structure, whereas no such dependence was established in respect of their antiviral activity. In the treatment of combined influenza-staphylococcal infection a decrease in antistaphylococcal effect was observed, while antiviral activity remained stable. 相似文献

Thiazole peptide GE2270 A (1) possesses potent antimicrobial activity against many gram-positive pathogens, including methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus, MRSA; MIC(90)=0.06 microg/mL) and vancomycin resistant Enterococcus spp. (VRE; MIC(90)=0.03 microg/mL); however its poor aqueous solubility has prohibited its development for the clinical treatment of infections. An integrated combinatorial and medicinal chemistry program was employed to identify derivatives of 1 that retain activity but possess greatly enhanced aqueous solubility. 相似文献

A series of 4-oxo-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidine derivatives, derivatized at the 2-position with aromatic substituents, were synthesized by the Suzuki cross-coupling method and evaluated for their ability to potentiate the activity of the fluoroquinolone levofloxacin (LVFX) and the anti-pseudomonas β-lactam aztreonam (AZT) in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. By incorporating hydrophilic substituents onto the aryl nucleus, we found a morpholine analogue that possessed improved solubility, retained activity in vitro, and displayed potentiation activity in vivo in a rat model of P. aeruginosa pneumonia. 相似文献

A lead-like kinase inhibitor screening library containing new 3-aminopyrazolopyridinones and closely related compounds was designed that contained hydrogen-bond donor-acceptor motifs and substitution vectors inspired by the natural product kinase inhibitor indirubin. The solubility of the 3-aminopyrazolopyridinone scaffold was more than 1000-fold greater than that of indirubin itself, and solubility was enhanced by reduction of the proportion of lipophilic aryl substituents or the introduction of basic groups. Several components of the library showed kinase inhibitory activity. A subset of diaryl-substituted analogues preferentially inhibited tyrosine kinases with low micromolar activity and good ligand efficiency, and showed cellular antiproliferative activity. The evaluation of the library shows that new, non-natural compounds with relevant biological activity and improved physicochemical properties can be generated from the natural product indirubin, providing compounds that may be useful for kinase inhibitor drug discovery. 相似文献

In an effort to identify kinase inhibitors with dual KDR/Aurora B activity and improved aqueous solubility compared to the Abbott dual inhibitor ABT-348, a series of novel pyrazole pyrimidines structurally related to kinase inhibitor AS703569 were prepared. SAR work provided analogs with significant cellular activity, measureable aqueous solubility and moderate antitumor activity in a mouse tumor model after weekly ip dosing. Unfortunately these compounds were pan-kinase inhibitors that suffered from narrow therapeutic indices which prohibited their use as antitumor agents. 相似文献

We investigated the antiviral activity of nanosized copper(I) iodide (CuI) particles having an average size of 160 nm. CuI particles showed aqueous stability and generated hydroxyl radicals, which were probably derived from monovalent copper (Cu(+)). We confirmed that CuI particles showed antiviral activity against an influenza A virus of swine origin (pandemic [H1N1] 2009) by plaque titration assay. The virus titer decreased in a dose-dependent manner upon incubation with CuI particles, with the 50% effective concentration being approximately 17 μg/ml after exposure for 60 min. SDS-PAGE analysis confirmed the inactivation of the virus due to the degradation of viral proteins such as hemagglutinin and neuraminidase by CuI. Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy revealed that CuI generates hydroxyl radicals in aqueous solution, and radical production was found to be blocked by the radical scavenger N-acetylcysteine. Taken together, these findings indicate that CuI particles exert antiviral activity by generating hydroxyl radicals. Thus, CuI may be a useful material for protecting against viral attacks and may be suitable for applications such as filters, face masks, protective clothing, and kitchen cloths. 相似文献
