Optimization studies using an HIV RNase H active site inhibitor containing a 1-hydroxy-1,8-naphthyridin-2(1H)-one core identified 4-position substituents that provided several potent and selective inhibitors. The best compound was potent and selective in biochemical assays (IC50 = 0.045 μM, HIV RT RNase H; 13 μM, HIV RT-polymerase; 24 μM, HIV integrase) and showed antiviral efficacy in a single-cycle viral replication assay in P4-2 cells (IC50 = 0.19 μM) with a modest window with respect to cytotoxicity (CC50 = 3.3 μM). 相似文献

On the basis of the previous results on a histamine H4 receptor agonist 4-methylhistamine and a cyclopropane-based conformationally restricted analog CEIC (3) with potent H3/H4 receptor antagonistic effect, 4-methylhistamine analogs 4 and 5 of CEIC were designed and synthesized. Compound 4 showed strong affinity (Ki = 38.7 nM) for the H3 receptor, which was more potent than a well-known H3 antagonist thioperamide. Stable tautomer and conformation of 3 and 4, which can affect the pharmacological activity, were analyzed by ab initio calculations. 相似文献

Previous studies have shown that compound 1 displayed high affinity towards histamine H3 receptor (H3R), (human (h-H3R), Ki = 8.6 nM, rhesus monkey (rh-H3R), Ki = 1.2 nM, and rat (r-H3R), Ki = 16.5 nM), but exhibited high affinity for hERG channel. Herein, we report the discovery of a novel, potent, and highly selective H3R antagonist/inverse agonist 5a(SS) (SAR110068) with acceptable hERG channel selectivity and desirable pharmacological and pharmacokinetic properties through lead optimization sequence. The significant awakening effects of 5a(SS) on sleep–wake cycles studied by using EEG recording in rats during their light phase support its potential therapeutic utility in human sleep–wake disorders. 相似文献

Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) activation stimulates protective immune responses against intracellular pathogens by phagocytes, including neutrophils. This study examined TLR9-mediated neutrophil activation in neonatal foals. Unmethylated CpGs, ligands for TLR9, were used to stimulate equine neutrophils, either purified or in contact with other peripheral blood leukocytes. Rhodococcus equi was used as another stimulus in parallel. TLR9 mRNA was constitutively expressed at a similar level in purified equine neutrophils across different ages from birth to adulthood, and expression was not affected by either CpG or R. equi. Purified foal neutrophils were directly sensitive to CpG stimulation, reflected by enhanced reactive oxygen species generation following fMLP stimulation, and by expressing significantly (P < 0.05) greater mRNA of IFN-γ, IL-8, IL-12p35, and significantly (P < 0.05) decreased TNF-α mRNA. In comparison, purified foal neutrophils stimulated by R. equi showed significantly (P < 0.05) increased mRNA production of IL-6, IL-8, IL-23p19, and TNF-α. Neutrophils co-cultured with other leukocytes expressed a distinct profile of cytokine mRNA than purified neutrophils in response to CpG stimulation, whereas the profile was very similar following R. equi stimulation irrespective of neutrophil purity. When co-cultured with other leukocytes, foal neutrophils were significantly (P < 0.05) activated at birth by B-class CpGs and produced IL-6, IL-8, IL-12p40, and IL-23p19 at similar magnitudes to those at 2 months of age. In foal neutrophils at birth, R. equi significantly (P < 0.05) induced all cytokines stimulated by CpGs (except IL-12p40), as well as TNF-α. Our results indicate that foal neutrophils were sensitive to CpG or R. equi activation as early as at birth, and that B-class CpGs enhanced foal neutrophil functions in vitro. 相似文献

S1P receptors (S1PR1-5) are a group of GPCRs activated by a high affinity binding with S1P that have important roles in the regulation of the immune system. A potent S1PR agonist FTY720 is an immunomodulator used to treat multiple sclerosis and several ‘second generation’ drugs are under clinical development. Subtype-selective agonists have been reported for each S1PR isotype, some of which are used as pharmacological tools for functional studies. Here we report the discovery and initial characterization of compound 5c, a benzo[b]thiophene amino carboxylate which exhibits potent and selective agonist activity for S1PR4. Compound 5c has an EC50 = 200 nM as an agonist in GTPγ35S binding assay for S1PR4 and exhibits no activity against S1PR1,2,3,5. We confirmed its potent activity and decent S1PR subtype selectivity using biochemical and cellular assays. 相似文献

Ligands targeting central histamine H3 receptors (H3Rs) for epilepsy might be a promising therapeutic approach. Therefore, the previously described and structurally strongly related imidazole-based derivatives belonging to carbamate class with high H3R in vitro affinity, in-vivo antagonist potency, and H3R selectivity profile were investigated on their anticonvulsant activity in maximal electroshock (MES)-induced and pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-kindled seizure models in Wistar rats. The effects of systemic injection of H3R ligands 1–13 on MES-induced and PTZ-kindled seizures were screened and evaluated against the reference antiepileptic drug (AED) Phenytoin (PHT) and the standard histamine H3R inverse agonist/antagonist Thioperamide (THP) to determine their potential as new antiepileptic drugs. Following administration of the H3R ligands 1–13 (5, 10 and 15 mg/kg, ip) there was a significant dose dependent reduction in MES-induced seizure duration. The protective action observed for the pentenyl carbamate derivative 4, the most protective H3R ligand among 1–13, was significantly higher (P <0.05) than that of standard H3R antagonist THP, and was reversed when rats were pretreated with the selective H3R agonist R-(α)-methyl-histamine (RAMH) (10 mg/kg), or with the CNS penetrant H1R antagonist Pyrilamine (PYR) (10 mg/kg). In addition, subeffective dose of H3R ligand 4 (5 mg/kg, ip) significantly potentiated the protective action in rats pretreated with PHT (5 mg/kg, ip), a dose without appreciable protective effect when given alone. In contrast, pretreatment with H3R ligand 4 (10 mg/kg ip) failed to modify PTZ-kindled convulsion, whereas the reference drug PHT was found to fully protect PTZ-induced seizure. These results indicate that some of the investigated imidazole-based H3R ligands 1–13 may be of future therapeutic value in epilepsy. 相似文献

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors are ligand-gated ion channels found in the plasma membrane of both excitable and non-excitable cells. Previously we reported that nicotinic receptors containing α7 subunits were present in the outer membranes of mitochondria to regulate the early apoptotic events like cytochrome c release. Here we show that signaling of mitochondrial α7 nicotinic receptors affects intramitochondrial protein kinases. Agonist of α7 nicotinic receptors PNU 282987 (30 nM) prevented the effect of phosphatidyl inositol-3-kinase inhibitor wortmannin, which stimulated cytochrome c release in isolated mouse liver mitochondria, and restored the Akt (Ser 473) phosphorylation state decreased by either 90 μM Ca2+ or wortmannin. The effect of PNU 282987 was similar to inhibition of calcium-calmodulin-dependent kinase II (upon 90 μM Ca2+) or of Src kinase(s) (upon 0.5 mM H2O2) and of protein kinase C. Cytochrome c release from mitochondria could be also attenuated by α7 nicotinic receptor antagonist methyllicaconitine or α7-specific antibodies. Allosteric modulator PNU 120526 (1 μM) did not improve the effect of agonist PNU 282987. Acetylcholine (1 μM) and methyllicaconitine (10 nM) inhibited superoxide release from mitochondria measured according to alkalization of Ca2+-containing medium. It is concluded that α7 nicotinic receptors regulate mitochondrial permeability transition pore formation through ion-independent mechanism involving activation of intramitochondrial PI3K/Akt pathway and inhibition of calcium-calmodulin-dependent or Src-kinase-dependent signaling pathways. 相似文献

The viral protein HIVgp41 is an attractive and validated drug target that proceeds through a sequence of conformational changes crucial for membrane fusion, which facilitates viral entry. Prior work has identified inhibitors that interfere with the formation of a required six-helix bundle, composed of trimeric C-heptad (CHR) and N-heptad (NHR) repeat elements, through blocking association of an outer CHR helix or obstructing formation of the inner NHR trimer itself. In this work, we employed similarity-based scoring to identify and experimentally characterize 113 compounds, related to 2 small-molecule inhibitors recently reported by Allen et al. (Bioorg. Med. Chem Lett. 2015, 25 2853–59), proposed to act via the NHR trimer obstruction mechanism. The compounds were first tested in an HIV cell-cell fusion assay with the most promising evaluated in a second, more biologically relevant viral entry assay. Of the candidates, compound #11 emerged as the most promising hit (IC50 = 37.81 µM), as a result of exhibiting activity in both assays with low cytotoxicity, as was similarly seen with the known control peptide inhibitor C34. The compound also showed no inhibition of VSV-G pseudotyped HIV entry compared to a control inhibitor suggesting it was specific for HIVgp41. Molecular dynamics simulations showed the predicted DOCK pose of #11 interacts with HIVgp41 in an energetic fashion (per-residue footprints) similar to the four native NHR residues (IQLT) which candidate inhibitors were intended to mimic. 相似文献

A series of novel 4(1H)-quinolone derivatives was synthesized and evaluated for antiproliferative activity in vitro. The results showed that these compounds exhibited more potent antiproliferative effect against a panel of human tumor cell lines than the lead compound 7-chloro-4(1H)-quinolone 1. Compound 7e was found to be the most potent antiproliferative agent and to exhibit selective cytotoxic activity against HepG2 cell lines with IC50 value lower than 1.0 μM. Annexin V/FITC-PI assay showed that compound 7e induced apoptosis in HepG2 cells with a dose-dependent manner. Western blotting analysis indicated that compound 7e induced cell cycle arrest in G2/M phase by p53-depedent pathway. 相似文献

A potent series of substituted 2-phenyl-2H-indazole-7-carboxamides were synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). This extensive SAR exploration culminated with the identification of substituted 5-fluoro-2-phenyl-2H-indazole-7-carboxamide analog 48 which displayed excellent PARP enzyme inhibition with IC50 = 4 nM, inhibited proliferation of cancer cell lines deficient in BRCA-1 with CC50 = 42 nM and showed encouraging pharmacokinetic properties in rats compared to the lead 6. 相似文献

A novel series of formoterol–phthalazinone hybrids were synthesised and evaluated as dual pharmacology β2-adrenoceptor agonists and PDE4 inhibitors. Most of the hybrids displayed high β2-adrenoceptor agonist and moderate PDE4 inhibitory activities. The most potent compound, (R,R)-11c, exhibited agonist (EC50 = 1.05 nM, pEC50 = 9.0) and potent PDE4B2 inhibitory activities (IC50 = 0.092 μM). 相似文献

The N-alkylation of the sulfonamide moiety, in a group of arylsulfonamide derivatives of (aryloxy)ethyl piperidines, may be considered as a strategy for the design of selective 5-HT7 receptor ligands or multifunctional agents to extend a polypharmacological approach to the treatment of complex diseases. The study allowed for the identification of 31 (1-methyl-N-{1-[2-(2-(t-butyl)phenoxy)ethyl]piperidin-4-yl}-N-cyclopropylmethyl-1H-pyrazole-4-sulfonamide), a potent and selective 5-HT7 receptor antagonist and 33 (1-methyl-N-{1-[2-(biphenyl-2-yloxy)ethyl]piperidin-4-yl}-N-cyclopropylmethyl-1H-pyrazole-4-sulfonamide), as multimodal 5-HT/dopamine receptor ligand, as 5-HT2A/5-HT7/D2 receptor antagonists. Both selected compounds were evaluated in vivo in a forced swim test (FST) in mice and in a novel object recognition (NOR) task in rats, demonstrating distinct antidepressant-like and pro-cognitive properties (MED = 1.25 mg/kg and 1 mg/kg, ip, respectively). These findings warrant further studies to explore the therapeutic potential of N-alkylated arylsulfonamides for the treatment of CNS disorders. 相似文献

The 5-HT1AR partial agonist PET radiotracer, [11C]CUMI-101, has advantages over an antagonist radiotracer as it binds preferentially to the high affinity state of the receptor and thereby provides more functionally meaningful information. The major drawback of C-11 tracers is the lack of cyclotron facility in many health care centers thereby limiting widespread clinical or research use. We identified the fluoroethyl derivative, 2-(4-(4-(2-(2-fluoroethoxy)phenyl)piperazin-1-yl)butyl)-4-methyl-1,2,4-triazine-3,5(2H,4H)dione (FECUMI-101) (Ki = 0.1 nM; Emax = 77%; EC50 = 0.65 nM) as a partial agonist 5-HT1AR ligand of the parent ligand CUMI-101. FECUMI-101 is radiolabeled with F-18 by O-fluoroethylation of the corresponding desmethyl analogue (1) with [18F]fluoroethyltosylate in DMSO in the presence of 1.6 equiv of K2CO3 in 45 ± 5% yield (EOS). PET shows [18F]FECUMI-101 binds specifically to 5-HT1AR enriched brain regions of baboon. The specificity of [18F]FECUMI-101 binding to 5-HT1AR was confirmed by challenge studies with the known 5-HT1AR ligand WAY100635. These findings indicate that [18F]FECUMI-101 can be a viable agonist ligand for the in vivo quantification of high affinity 5-HT1AR with PET. 相似文献

A recorded muscular torque at one joint is a resultant torque corresponding to the participation of both agonist and antagonist muscles. This study aimed to examine the effect of aging on the mechanical contributions of both plantar- and dorsi-flexors to the resultant maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) torques exerted at the ankle joint, in dorsi-flexion (DF) and plantar-flexion (PF). The estimation of isometric agonist and antagonist torques by means of an EMG biofeedback technique was made with nine young (mean age 24 years) and nine older (mean age 80 years) men. While there was a non-significant age-related decline in the measured resultant DF MVC torque (?15%; p = 0.06), there was a clear decrease in the estimated agonist MVC torque exerted by the dorsi-flexors (?39%; p = 0.001). The DF-to-PF resultant MVC torque ratio was significantly lower in young than in older men (0.25 vs. 0.31; p = 0.006), whereas the DF-to-PF agonist MVC torque ratio was no longer different between the two populations (0.38 vs. 0.35; p > 0.05). Thus, agonist MVC torques in PF and DF would be similarly affected by aging, which could not be deduced when only resultant torques were examined. 相似文献

Exploring small-molecule acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors to slow the breakdown of acetylcholine (Ach) represents the mainstream direction for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) therapy. As the first acetylcholinesterase inhibitor approved for the clinical treatment of AD, tacrine has been widely used as a pharmacophore to design hybrid compounds in order to combine its potent AChE inhibition with other multi-target profiles. In present study, a series of novel tacrine–coumarin hybrids were designed, synthesized and evaluated as potent dual-site AChE inhibitors. Moreover, compound 1g was identified as the most potent candidate with about 2-fold higher potency (Ki = 16.7 nM) against human AChE and about 2-fold lower potency (Ki = 16.1 nM) against BChE than tacrine (Ki = 35.7 nM for AChE, Ki = 8.7 nM for BChE), respectively. In addition, some of the tacrine–coumarin hybrids showed simultaneous inhibitory effects against both Aβ aggregation and β-secretase. We therefore conclude that tacrine–coumarin hybrid is an interesting multifunctional lead for the AD drug discovery. 相似文献

Based on structure–activity relationship studies of the benzoic acid part of diphenylamine-based retinoids, the potent RXR agonist 4 was derivatized to obtain retinoid agonists, synergists, and an antagonist. Cinnamic acid derivatives 5 and phenylpropionic acid derivatives 6 showed retinoid agonistic and synergistic activities, respectively. The difference of the activities is considered to be due to differences in the flexibility of the carboxylic acid-containing substituent on the diphenylamine skeleton. Compound 7, bearing a methyl group at the meta position to the carboxyl group, was an antagonist, dose-dependently inhibiting HL-60 cell differentiation induced by 3.3 × 10?10 M Am80. 相似文献

We previously showed that fluorination of the carborane-containing selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) BE360 altered the agonist/antagonist activity balance and the estrogen receptor (ER) α/β subtype selectivity. Here, we designed and synthesized a series of fluorinated carboranyl phenols as candidate ERβ-selective ligands. Introduction of a fluorine atom onto the carborane cage commonly reduced the binding affinity for ERα, to an extent that depended on the other substituents present. The B-fluorinated m-carboranyl phenol 4a showed fourfold more potent ERβ-binding affinity than the parent non-fluorinated compound 7. 1-Iodo-9-fluoro-m-carboranyl phenol 4f showed high ERβ-binding affinity with an ERβ/ERα selectivity ratio of 8.2. Among the compounds tested, 6 showed the highest ERβ selectivity (10.1-fold) and the highest ER-agonistic activity (EC50: 5.1 × 10?10 M) in MCF-7 cell proliferation assay. 相似文献

Currently, we have little information concerning the involvement of β3-adrenergic receptors (AR) in cardiovascular regulation in fishes. The goal of this study was to investigate the effect of β3-AR ligands on in vivo cardiovascular function in larval and adult rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). In adult fish, injection of BRL37344 (β3-AR agonist) resulted in an increase in heart rate (fH) (~ 31%) while stroke volume (Sv) was reduced (? 25.9%). Injection of SR59230A (β3-AR antagonist) and propranolol (β1/β2-AR antagonist) resulted in increases in dorsal aorta blood pressure (PDA) with differing effect on cardiac variables (fH and Sv). To confirm specificity of the results, BRL37344 was injected following sequential injections of phentolamine (α1-AR antagonist), atropine (muscarinic antagonist), propranolol and SR59230A. While phentolamine had no effect on BRL37344, atropine completely abolished the influence of BRL37344 on fH, Sv and cardiac output (Q). In larval trout, BRL37344 (10 and 100 μM) induced a significant concentration-dependent increase in fH while SR59230A (1 and 10 μM) and propranolol (1 and 10 μM) separately caused a significant concentration-dependent decrease. These data suggest that β3-ARs have an important role in regulation of cardiovascular function, and provide evidence for a potential interaction between muscarinic and adrenergic receptors in rainbow trout. 相似文献

Calpain (intracellular Ca2 +-dependent protease) and calpastatin (calpain specific endogenous inhibitor) are widely distributed in biological systems, and have been implicated in many cellular physiological and pathological processes. Calpastatin level is of central importance to the control of calpain activity. We demonstrated for the first time that calpastatin is overexpressed in mycoplasma-contaminated cultured cells (SH-SY5Y cells that are infected by a strain of Mycoplasma hyorhinis (NDMh)). We have found that the calpastatin-upregulating activity resides in the mycoplasmal membrane lipoproteins, and is associated with NF-κB activation. Calpain-promoted proteolysis is attenuated in the NDMh lipoprotein-treated cells. Here we show that the NDMh lipoproteins promoted an increase in calpastatin in SH-SY5Y cells via the TLR2/TAK1/NF-κB pathway. The synthetic mycoplasmal lipopeptide MALP-2 and the bacterial lipopeptide PAM3CSK4 (TLR2 agonists) also promoted calpastatin upregulation. LPS (TLR4 agonist) activated NF-κB without calpastatin increase in the cell. In contrast, lipoteichoic acid (TLR2 agonist) upregulated calpastatin not via NF-κB activation, but via the MEK1/ELK1 pathway. Zymosan and peptidoglycan, TLR2 agonists that lack lipids, did not induce calpastatin upregulation. Cell treatment with a calpastatin-upregulating agonist (lipoteichoic acid) led to the attenuation of Ca2 +-promoted calpain activity, whereas agonists that do not upregulate calpastatin (LPS, Zymosan) were ineffective. Overall, the results indicate that in these non-immune cells, calpastatin is upregulated by TLR2-agonists containing lipids, with more than one downstream pathway involved. Such agonists may be useful for studying mechanisms and factors involved in calpastatin regulation. In addition, suitable TLR2 agonists may be of interest in devising treatments for pathological processes involving excessive calpain activation. 相似文献
