Substrates of HIV-1 protease are classified into three groups (A, B and C) based on the amino acid residues present at P1' and P2' sites. Replacement of the scissile amide bond by phenylnorstatine in representative substrate analog sequences from class A, B and C, yielded inhibitors of HIV-1 protease. Of the twelve inhibitors synthesized in this series, class C substrate analog inhibitors are more potent inhibitors (Ki's 3.3-24 microM) than either class A or class B inhibitors. In this series of inhibitors, the (2S,3S) isomer of phenylnorstatine is preferred over the other isomers as a "transition state element" for design of inhibitors of HIV-1 protease. 相似文献

A series of 5-((1H-pyrazol-4-yl)methylene)-2-thioxothiazolidin-4-one inhibitors of ADAMTS-5 (aggrecanase-2) is described. These compounds show microM functional inhibition of ADAMTS-5, and represent a new class of agents with the potential of inhibiting degradation of aggrecan, a major component of cartilage which is lost in osteoporosis. Compound 12 is noteworthy in that it has an ADAMTS-5 IC50: 1.1 microM and shows >40-fold functional selectivity over ADAMTS-4 (aggrecanase-1). 相似文献

A series of acrylamide analogues were designed and synthesized from Imatinib and Nilotinib as novel BCR-ABL inhibitors by application of the principle of nonclassical electronic isostere. All new compounds were evaluated for their inhibitory effects on the activity of BCR-ABL kinase and the proliferation of K562 leukemia cancer cells in vitro. The acrylamide analogues in which the substituent in C ring was trifluoromethyl group were identified as highly potent BCR-ABL kinase inhibitors. Compound 13f exhibited an IC(50) value as low as 20.6nM in ABL kinase inhibition and an IC(50) value of 32.3nM for antiproliferative activity, about 10.5-fold and 12-fold lower than those of Imatinib respectively. These results suggest that compound 13f is a promising candidate as a novel BCR-ABL kinase inhibitor for further development. 相似文献

A series of malaria plasmepsin (Plm) I and II inhibitors containing a C(2)-symmetric core structure have been synthesised and tested for protease inhibition activity. These compounds can be prepared using a straightforward synthesis involving a phenol nucleophilic ring opening of a diepoxide. Exemplar compounds synthesised exhibited remarkable inhibitory activity against both Plm I and II, notably 15c with K(i) values of 2.7nM and 0.25nM respectively, as well as showing >100-fold selectivity against Cathepsin D. 相似文献

A series of 2-(3-thienyl)-5,6-dihydroxypyrimidine-4-carboxylic acid inhibitors of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS5B polymerase enzyme are reported. Sulfonyl urea substituted analogs in this series proved to be the most potent active site non-nucleoside inhibitors of NS5B reported to date. These compounds had low nanomolar enzyme inhibition across HCV genotypes 1–3 and showed single digit micromolar inhibition in the HCV replicon assay. This improved cell-based activity allowed the binding mode of these compounds to be probed by selection of resistant mutations against compound 21. The results generated are in broad agreement with the previously proposed binding model for this compound class. 相似文献

A series of novel xanthone derivatives with extended pi-systems, that is, benzoxanthones 2-4, and their structurally perturbed analogs 5-9 have been designed and synthesized as alpha-glucosidase inhibitors. Their inhibitory activities toward yeast's alpha-glucosidase were evaluated with the aim to enrich the structure-activity relationship. The results indicated that benzoxanthones 2-4 were capable of inhibiting in vitro yeast's alpha-glucosidase 17- to 28-fold more strongly than xanthone derivative 1 that has smaller conjugated pi-system. Benzoxanthone 8, bearing angularly fused aromatic rings, and reduced benzoxanthone 5 showed decreased activities, strongly suggesting that linearly conjugated pi-systems play a crucial role in the inhibition process. O-Methylation of 3-OH of benzoxanthone 2 and nitration at C4 position led to a large decrease in the activity. This indicates that 3-OH of benzoxanthone was crucial to the inhibitory activity, primarily as an H-bonding donor. The present results suggest that pi-pi stacking effect and H-bonding make substantial contributions to elicit the inhibitory activities of this general class of inhibitors. 相似文献

5,6-Dihydroxypyrimidine-4-carboxylic acids are a promising series of hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS5B polymerase inhibitors that bind at the active site of the enzyme. Here we report a simple 2-thienyl substituted analogue that shows 10-fold improved activity over the original lead, and which allowed us to further delineate the key elements of the pharmacophore of this class of inhibitor. This work led to the identification of a trifluoromethyl acylsulfonamide group as a viable replacement for the C4 carboxylic acid in this series. 相似文献

A screening campaign of a diverse collection of ~250,000 small molecule compounds was performed to identify inhibitors of proline-rich tyrosine kinase 2 (Pyk2) with potential osteogenic activity in osteoblast cells. Compounds were prioritized based on selectivity following a counter-screen against focal adhesion kinase (FAK), a closely related kinase. 4-Amino and 5-aryl substituted pyridinone series were identified that showed strong biochemical potency against Pyk2 and up to 3700-fold selectivity over FAK. Modeling analysis suggested that structural differences in the substrate binding cleft could explain the high selectivity of these chemical series against FAK. Representative compounds from each series showed inhibition of Pyk2 autophosphorylation in 293T cells (IC50 ~0.11 μM), complete inhibition of endogenous Pyk2 in A7r5 cells and increased levels of osteogenic markers in MC3T3 osteoblast cells (EC50’s ~0.01 μM). These results revealed a new class of compounds with osteogenic-inducing activity in osteoblast cells and a starting point for the development of more potent and selective Pyk2 inhibitors. 相似文献

A series of chemically modified mutants (CMMs) of subtilisin B. lentus (SBL) were generated employing the combination of site-directed mutagenesis and chemical modification. This strategy entails the mutation of a selected active site residue to cysteine and its subsequent modification with a methanethiosulfonate reagent CH3SO2S-R, where R may be infinitely variable. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the changes in specificity and pH-activity profiles that could be induced by modification of S156C and S166C in the S1 pocket of SBL with a representative range of side chain modifications, namely R=-CH3, -CH2C6H5, -CH2CH2NH3+ and CH2CH2SO3 . The side chain of S156C is surface exposed and well solvated while that of S166C points into the pocket. Kinetic evaluation of the CMMs with suc-AAPF-pNA as substrate showed that the kcat/K(M)s changed very little for the S156C CMMs, but varied by up to 11-fold for the S166C CMMs. pH-Activity profiles were also determined, and showed that a negatively or positively charged side chain modification increased or decreased respectively, the pKa of the catalytic triad histidine for both modification sites but with more dramatic changes for the interior pointing S166C than for the solvent exposed S156C site. As an additional probe of altered specificity, inhibition of the CMMs by a representative series of 5 boronic acid transition state analogue inhibitors was determined. The K(I)s observed ranged from a 3.5-fold improvement over the WT value, to a 12-fold decrease in binding. Overall, greater variability in all the parameters measured, activity, pKa, and boronic acid binding resulted from modification at the inward pointing 166 site than at the solvent-exposed 156 site. 相似文献

We report here the discovery of a novel series of selective mTOR kinase inhibitors. A series of imidazo[4,5-b]pyrazin-2-ones, represented by screening hit 1, was developed into lead compounds with excellent mTOR potency and exquisite kinase selectivity. Potent compounds from this series show >1000-fold selectivity over the related PI3Kα lipid kinase. Further, compounds such as 2 achieve mTOR pathway inhibition, blocking both mTORC1 and mTORC2 signaling, in PC3 cancer cells as measured by inhibition of pS6 and pAkt (S473). 相似文献

The discovery and SAR of a series of β-aryl substituted pyrrolidine 2H-isoquinolin-1-one inhibitors of Rho-kinase (ROCK) derived from 2 is herein described. SAR studies have shown that aryl groups in the β-position are optimal for potency. Our efforts focused on improving the ROCK potency of this isoquinolone class of inhibitors which led to the identification of pyrrolidine 32 which demonstrated a 10-fold improvement in aortic ring (AR) potency over 2. 相似文献

West Nile virus (WNV) and Dengue virus (DENV) replication depends on the viral NS2B-NS3 protease and the host enzyme furin, which emerged as potential drug targets. Modification of our previously described WNV protease inhibitors by basic phenylalanine analogs provided compounds with reduced potency against the WNV and DENV protease. In a second series, their decarboxylated P1-trans-(4-guanidino)cyclohexylamide was replaced by an arginyl-amide moiety. Compound 4-(guanidinomethyl)-phenylacetyl-Lys-Lys-Arg-NH2 inhibits the NS2B-NS3 protease of WNV with an inhibition constant of 0.11?µM. Due to the similarity in substrate specificity, we have also tested the potency of our previously described multibasic furin inhibitors. Their further modification provided chimeric inhibitors with additional potency against the WNV and DENV proteases. A strong inhibition of WNV and DENV replication in cell culture was observed for the specific furin inhibitors, which reduced virus titers up to 10,000-fold. These studies reveal that potent inhibitors of furin can block the replication of DENV and WNV. 相似文献

Bisubstrate analog inhibitors in which a nicotinamide mimic is attached to a series of structurally diversified guanidines (arginine mimics) were synthesized and evaluated for inhibition of cholera toxin. The mechanism-based bisubstrate inhibitors were up to 1400-fold more potent than the natural substrate NAD+ and 400-fold more potent than the artificial substrate diethylamino (benzylidine-amino)guanidine (DEABAG) in an assay toward an intrinsically active mutant of wild-type cholera toxin. 相似文献

In the present study, a series of 3,4-dihydro-2(1H)-quinolinone derivatives were synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of recombinant human monoamine oxidase (MAO) A and B. The 3,4-dihydro-2(1H)-quinolinone derivatives are structurally related to a series of coumarin (1-benzopyran-2-one) derivatives which have been reported to act as MAO-B inhibitors. The results document that the quinolinones are highly potent and selective MAO-B inhibitors with most homologues exhibiting IC50 values in the nanomolar range. The most potent MAO-B inhibitor, 7-(3-bromobenzyloxy)-3,4-dihydro-2(1H)-quinolinone, exhibits an IC50 value of 2.9 nM with a 2750-fold selectivity for MAO-B over the MAO-A isoform. An analysis of the structure–activity relationships for MAO-B inhibition shows that substitution on the C7 position of the 3,4-dihydro-2(1H)-quinolinone scaffold leads to significantly more potent inhibition compared to substitution on C6. In this regard, a benzyloxy substituent on C7 is more favourable than phenylethoxy and phenylpropoxy substitution on this position. It may be concluded that C7-substituted 3,4-dihydro-2(1H)-quinolinones are promising leads for the therapy of Parkinson’s disease. 相似文献

A novel series of biphenylylmethylimidazole derivatives and related compounds were synthesized as inhibitors of 17,20-lyase, a key enzyme in the production of steroid hormones, and their biological activities were evaluated. In an attempt to identify potent and selective inhibitors of 17,20-lyase over the related CYP3A4 enzyme, a homology model for human 17,20-lyase was developed using the X-ray crystallographic structure of the mammalian CYP2C5 enzyme. With the aid of molecular modeling, optimization of the biphenyl moiety was performed to give an acetamide derivative, which was resolved by HPLC to give the active (-)-enantiomer. The obtained active enantiomer showed not only potent inhibition of both rat and human 17,20-lyase,with IC(50) values of 14 and 26 nM, respectively, but also excellent selectivity (>300-fold) for inhibition of 17,20-lyase over CYP3A4. Moreover, the active enantiomer significantly reduced both serum testosterone and DHEA concentrations in a monkey model after single oral administration. Asymmetric synthesis of the active enantiomer was also developed via a chiral intermediate using a diastereoselective Grignard reaction. 相似文献

Simple modifications to the anhydride moiety of norcantharidin have lead to the development of a series of analogues displaying modest PP1 inhibition (low muM IC(50)s) comparable to that of norcantharidin (PP1 IC(50)=10.3+/-1.37 microM). However, unlike norcantharidin, which is a potent inhibitor of PP2A (IC(50)=2.69+/-1.37 microM), these analogues show reduced PP2A inhibitory action resulting in the development of selective PP1 inhibitory compounds. Data indicates that the introduction of two ortho-disposed substituents on an aromatic ring, or para-substituent favours PP1 inhibition over PP2A inhibition. Introduction of a p-morphilinoaniline substituent, 35, affords an inhibitor displaying PP1 IC(50)=6.5+/-2.3 microM; and PP2A IC(50)=7.9+/-0.82 microM (PP1/PP2A=0.82); and a 2,4,6-trimethylaniline, 23, displaying PP1 IC(50)=48+/-9; and PP2A IC(5) 85+/-3 microM (PP1/PP2A=0.56). The latter shows a 7-fold improvement in PP1 versus PP2A selectivity when compared with norcantharidin. Subsequent analysis of 23 and 35 as potential PP2B inhibitors revealed modest inhibition with IC(50)s of 89+/-6 and 42+/-3 microM, respectively, and returned with PP1/PP2B selectivities of 0.54 and 0.15. Thus, these analogues are the simplest and most selective PP1 inhibitors retaining potency reported to date. 相似文献

A series of estrone and estradiol derivatives having an N-butyl,methyl heptanamide side chain at C6-position were synthesized, tested as inhibitors of type 1 17beta-HSD and assessed for their possible estrogenic activity. A better type 1 17beta-HSD inhibition was obtained for the 6beta-side chain orientation over 6alpha; the C17-alcohols are more potent inhibitors than the corresponding ketones; introducing a 2-methoxy group decreased the inhibitory potency; and the replacement of a C-S bond by a C-C bond in the C6beta-side chain is not detrimental to inhibition. Interestingly, the new inhibitors were also found less estrogenic than the lead compound in two breast cancer cell lines, T-47D and MCF-7. 相似文献

A computer-aided drug design strategy leads to the identification of a new class of p38 inhibitors based on the 2-tolyl-(1,2,3-triazol-1-yl-4-carboxamide) scaffold. The tolyl triazole amides provided a potent platform amenable to optimization. Further exploration leads to compounds with greater than 100-fold improvement in binding affinity to p38. Derivatives prepared to alter the physicochemical properties produced inhibitors with IC(50)'s in human whole blood as low as 83 nM. 相似文献
