Analogues of pyrrolo-[1,2,5]benzothiadiazepine were prepared and evaluated against Schistosoma japonica. The biological data revealed that most benzothiazepine derivatives show anti-schistosomal activity to some extent, while α-chloronation of the title compound and another bioisosteric derivative pyrrolo-[1,2,5]benzodiazepine displayed the most distinct worm killing activity. This study proved that benzodiazepine may serve as a novel structural skeleton for the development of anti-schistosomal agents. 相似文献
Topical skin lipid supplementation may provide opportunities for controlling ceramide (Cer) deficiency in skin diseases such as atopic dermatitis or psoriasis. Here we describe the synthesis of a long-chain 7-nitrobenzo[c][1,2,5]oxadiazol-4-yl (NBD)-labeled Cer and its different penetration through human skin compared to widely used short-chain fluorescent Cer tools. 相似文献
1. The incorporation of [2-14C]mevalonic acid by Chloropseudomonas ethylica strain 2K into chlorobactene was studied. 2. Oxidative degradation of chlorobactene of constant specific radioactivity produced labelled benzenecarboxylic acids and indicated that the benzene ring originates from mevalonic acid. 3. Decarboxylation studies demonstrated a stereospecific methyl migration in the formation of the 1,2,5-trimethylphenyl group of chlorobactene. The migrating methyl group was derived from the C-3′ position of mevalonic acid. 相似文献
The inhibitors of factor-inhibiting HIF-1 (FIH1) have been shown to be useful as therapeutics for the treatment of anemia. We have been able to identify eight novel FIH1 inhibitors with IC50 values ranging from 30 to 80 μM by means of the virtual screening with docking simulations under consideration of the effects of ligand solvation in the scoring function. The newly identified inhibitors are structurally diverse and have various chelating groups for the active-site ferrous ion including sulfonamide, carboxylate, N-benzo[1,2,5]oxadiazol-4-yl amide, and 2-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b]][1,3,4]thiadiazol-3-yl-quinoline moieties. Each of these four structural classes has not been reported as FIH1 inhibitor, and therefore can be considered for further development by structure–activity relationship or denovo design methods. The interactions with the amino acid residues responsible for the stabilizations of the inhibitors in the active site are addressed in detail. 相似文献
A group of 3,4-diphenyl-1,2,5-oxadiazole-2-oxides (3,4-diphenylfuroxans) and the corresponding N-desoxy 3,4-diphenyl-1,2,5-oxadiazoles (3,4-diphenylfurazans) analogs, were synthesized for in vitro evaluation as hybrid cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitor/nitric oxide donor agents. Reaction of 1-[4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl]-2-phenylethene with an aqueous sodium nitrite solution in acetic acid afforded a mixture (3:1 ratio) of the inseparable 4-[4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl]-3-phenyl-1,2,5-oxadiazole-2-oxide (13a) and 3-[4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl]-4-phenyl-1,2,5-oxadiazole-2-oxide (13b) regioisomers. A group of related regioisomers possessing either a p-aminosulfonylphenyl (16) or a p-azidosulfonylphenyl (17), moiety were obtained by chlorosulfonation of the unsubstituted 3,4-diphenylfuroxan (10) and subsequent reaction with either ammonium hydroxide or sodium azide, respectively. The methanesulfonyl regioisomers 13a,b [COX-1 IC50=11.6 microM; COX-2 IC50=0.12 microM; COX-2 selectivity index (SI)=97] and aminosulfonyl regioisomers 16 (COX-1 IC50=9.8 microM; COX-2 IC50=0.78 microM; COX-2 SI=12), like the reference drug celecoxib (COX-1 IC50=33.1 microM; COX-2 IC50=0.07 microM; COX-2 SI=472), were potent in vitro COX-2 inhibitors with a good COX-2 selectivity index. Release of nitric oxide (NO) from the 3,4-diphenylfuroxan compounds (10, 13a,b, 16, 17) was thiol-dependent since the % NO released was higher upon incubation in the presence of l-cysteine (0.57-3.18%) compared to that in phosphate buffer solution at pH7.4 (0.06-0.15%). Molecular modeling (docking) studies show that the methanesulfonyl (MeSO2) COX-2 pharmacophore present in regioisomers 13a,b is positioned in the vicinity of the COX-2 secondary pocket. The in vitro NO release data, COX-1/COX-2 inhibition and COX-2 SI structure-activity relationships acquired, and molecular modeling docking studies suggest that the 1,2,5-oxadiazole-2-oxide (furoxan) ring possesses beneficial features that should be present in a suitable central ring template (bioisostere) pertinent to the design novel hybrid COX-2 inhibitor/nitric oxide donor agents with a low ulcerogenicity profile that may be free from adverse cardiovascular effects. 相似文献
The parallel synthesis and antibacterial activity of 5-hydroxy[1,2,5] oxadiazolo[3,4-b]pyrazines is reported. The compounds were synthesized by condensing diaminofurazan with alpha-keto acids to give a variety of aryl-substituted analogues. Halogenated phenyl groups at C-6 give rise to the greatest Haemophilus influenzae antibacterial activity. 相似文献

The 13C NMR spectra of the pheophorbide of bacteriochlorophyll c, formed in the presence of L-[1-13C]glutamate and [2-13C]glycine and [13C]bicarbonate in Prosthecochloris aestaurii, were analysed. The isotope in the glutamate was specifically incorporated into the eight carbon atoms in the tetrapyrrole macrocycle derived from the C-5 of 5-aminolevulinic acid, while no specific enrichment of these eight carbon atoms was observed in the spectrum of the pigment formed in the presence of [2-13C]glycine. These labelling patterns provide evidence for the operation of the C5 pathway of 5-aminolevulinic acid synthesis for bacteriochlorophyll c formation in the bacterium. The labelling of bacteriochlorophyll c by [13C]bicarbonate is consistent with its formation from 5-[1,4,5-13C]aminolevulinic acid formed by the C5 pathway from [1,2,5-13C]glutamic acid. It is proposed that this glutamate is the transamination product of 2-[1,2,5-13C]oxoglutaric acid, arising by carboxylation of [1,4-13C]succinyl-CoA with 13CO2 catalysed by 2-oxoglutaric acid synthase activity, and that the labelled succinyl-CoA is, in turn, derived by the fixation of 13CO2 by the reductive tricarboxylic acid cycle. The 13C chemical shifts of two sp2 quaternary carbons of bacteriopheophorbide c methyl ester (C-2 and C-4) were reassigned. 相似文献

Selenadiazole derivative is one kind of synthetic organoselenium compounds with potent and broad-spectrum antitumor activity. In this study, we showed that anthrax [1,2-c] [1,2,5] selenadiazolo-6,11-dione (ASDO), an novel selenadiazole derivative, induced time- and dose-dependent apoptotic cell death in MCF-7 human breast carcinoma cells, as indicated by accumulation of sub-G1 cell population, DNA fragmentation, nuclear condensation, caspase activation and PARP cleavage. ASDO-induced apoptosis was significantly inhibited by a general caspase inhibitor z-VAD-fmk, demonstrating the important role of caspases in ASDO-induced apoptotic pathway. Treatment of MCF-7 cells with ASDO resulted in a rapid depletion of mitochondrial membrane potential and release of cytochrome c and Smac/Diablo through up-regulation of Bax, Bad and PUMA expression and down-regulation of Bcl-xl expression. Moreover, ASDO treatment up-regulated the expression levels of total p53 and its target gene p21Waf1. Silencing of p53 activation with RNA interference effectively blocked the ASDO-induced cell PARP cleavage, DNA fragmentation and caspase activation. Furthermore, ASDO-induced apoptosis was interestingly found to be independent of reactive oxygen species production. Taken together, we conclude that ASDO induces MCF-7 cell apoptosis through a p53-dependent and mitochondria-mediated pathway. 相似文献
Studies have demonstrated the presence of allosteric binding sites on each of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) subtypes. Since most drugs targeting muscarinic receptors bind to the highly conserved orthosteric binding site, they fail to achieve appreciable subtype selectivity. Targeting non-conserved allosteric sites may provide a new way of enhancing selectivity for individual subtypes of muscarinic receptor. Tetra(ethyleneglycol)(3-methoxy-1,2,5-thiadiazol-4-yl)[3-(1-methyl-1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyrid-3-yl)-1,2,5-thiadiazol-4-yl] ether, CDD-0304 (10), was found to be a M1/2/4 selective muscarinic agonist and might prove useful in treating the symptoms associated with schizophrenia (J. Med. Chem.2003, 46, 4273). It was hypothesized that the observed subtype selectivity demonstrated by 10 may be due to its ability to function as a bitopic ligand (J. Med. Chem.2006, 49, 7518). To further investigate this possibility, a novel series of compounds was synthesized using a 1,2,5-thiadiazole moiety along with varying lengths of a polyethylene glycol linker and terminal groups, for evaluation as potential allosteric modulators of muscarinic receptors. Preliminary biological studies were performed using carbachol to stimulate M1 and M5 receptors. No significant agonist activity was observed at either M1 or M5 receptors for any of the compounds. Compound 18, 2-(4-methoxy-1,2,5-thiadiazol-3-yloxy)-N,N-dimethylethanamine fumarate (CDD-0361F) was found to block the effects of carbachol at M5 muscarinic receptors. 相似文献
The Src homology-2 domain containing protein tyrosine phosphatase-2 (SHP2) is an oncogenic phosphatase linked to various kinds of cancers. Consequently, SHP2 has emerged as a promising target for novel anti-cancer agents. Using scaffold-hopping strategy, a series of benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole derivatives was designed from PTP1B inhibitors with 1H-2,3-Dihydroperimidine motif, synthesized and evaluated their biological activities against PTP1B and SHP2. Among them, the representative compound 11g displayed SHP2 inhibitory activity with IC50 of 2.11?±?0.99?μM, exhibited 2.02-fold and 25-fold selectivity for SHP2 over SHP1 and PTP1B respectively and had no visible activity against TCPTP. These preliminary results could provide a possible opportunity for the development of novel SHP2 inhibitors with optimal potency and improved pharmacological properties. 相似文献
Herein, we describe the structure–activity relationship study of a new 1-(arylalkyl)-11H-benzo[f]-1,2-dihydropyrido[3,2,c][1,2,5]oxathiazepine 5,5-dioxide series of antimitotic agents. The pharmacological results obtained from previous works allowed us to identify compound 1 as a new cytotoxic agent inhibiting tubulin polymerization. We have undertaken the synthesis of its non-methylated analogue 7 and have extended our investigations to a novel, structurally related benzopyridooxathiazepine dioxide series. Among all analogues synthesized in this study, compound 10b was the most promising, being 12-fold more potent than compound 1. Its activity over a panel of five tumoral cell lines was in the nanomolar range for all of the histological types tested and flow cytometric studies performed on L1210 cells showed an accumulation of the cells in the G2/M phases of the cell cycle with a significant percentage of tetraploid cells (8N DNA content). This interesting pharmacological profile, resulting from inhibition of tubulin polymerization, encouraged us to perform preliminary in vivo studies. 相似文献
The novel imidazo[4,5-c]pyridine 1,2,5-oxadiazol-3-yl template affords an excellent start point for identification of inhibitors of a number of protein kinases.

The mitochondrial branched-chain α-ketoacid dehydrogenase complex (BCKDC) is negatively regulated by reversible phosphorylation. BCKDC kinase (BDK) inhibitors that augment BCKDC flux have been shown to reduce branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) concentrations in vivo. In the present study, we employed high-throughput screens to identify compound 3,6-dichlorobenzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylic acid (BT2) as a novel BDK inhibitor (IC50 = 3.19 μm). BT2 binds to the same site in BDK as other known allosteric BDK inhibitors, including (S)-α-cholorophenylproprionate ((S)-CPP). BT2 binding to BDK triggers helix movements in the N-terminal domain, resulting in the dissociation of BDK from the BCKDC accompanied by accelerated degradation of the released kinase in vivo. BT2 shows excellent pharmacokinetics (terminal T½ = 730 min) and metabolic stability (no degradation in 240 min), which are significantly better than those of (S)-CPP. BT2, its analog 3-chloro-6-fluorobenzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylic acid (BT2F), and a prodrug of BT2 (i.e. N-(4-acetamido-1,2,5-oxadiazol-3-yl)-3,6-dichlorobenzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxamide (BT3)) significantly increase residual BCKDC activity in cultured cells and primary hepatocytes from patients and a mouse model of maple syrup urine disease. Administration of BT2 at 20 mg/kg/day to wild-type mice for 1 week leads to nearly complete dephosphorylation and maximal activation of BCKDC in heart, muscle, kidneys, and liver with reduction in plasma BCAA concentrations. The availability of benzothiophene carboxylate derivatives as stable BDK inhibitors may prove useful for the treatment of metabolic disease caused by elevated BCAA concentrations. 相似文献
A structure–activity relationship (SAR) study of the c-Myc (Myc) inhibitor 10074-G5 (N-([1,1′-biphenyl]-2-yl)-7-nitrobenzo[c][1,2,5]oxadiazol-4-amine, 1) – which targets a hydrophobic domain of the Myc oncoprotein that is flanked by arginine residues – was executed in order to determine its pharmacophore. Whilst the 7-nitrobenzofurazan was found to be critical for inhibitory activity, the ortho-biphenyl could be replaced with a para-carboxyphenyl group to furnish the new inhibitor JY-3-094 (3q). Around five times as potent as the lead with an IC50 of 33 μM for disruption of the Myc–Max heterodimer, JY-3-094 demonstrated excellent selectivity over Max–Max homodimers, with no apparent effect at 100 μM. Importantly, the carboxylic acid of JY-3-094 improves the physicochemical properties of the lead compound, which will facilitate the incorporation of additional hydrophobicity that might enhance Myc inhibitory activity further still. 相似文献
Based on a prototype sensitizer W2, we designed triarylamine-based p-type sensitizers W2-1 to W2-7 that contain modified π-spacers (π'), a π-spacer and two anchors. For W2-1 to W2-4, instead of 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole in W2, thieno[3,4-b]-1,4-dioxin, thiophene, thieno[3,4-c][1,2,5]thiadizole, thiazolo[5,4-d]thiazole are π' and thiophene as π-spacer. For W2-5 to W2-8, π' and π are same, with 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole, thieno[3,4-b]-1,4-dioxin, thieno[3,4-c][1,2,5]thiadiazo, thiazolo[5,4-d]thiazole, respectively, as the π'-spacers. Structure optimization, electronic level and absorption characters were calculated with density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TDDFT) at the CAM-B3LYP/6-311G (d,p). The solvent effect was involved using a polarized continuum model in chloroform. The results showed that the highest occupied molecular orbital and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital guarantee sufficient hole injection (lower than –0.2 eV), and dye regeneration (lower than –0.2 eV). W2-4 has higher light-harvesting efficiency (LHE) (0.994) and larger overlap with the visible light from 400 nm to 600 nm. Finally, the results suggest that the driving force of hole injection, dye regeneration and charge recombination (ΔGinj, ΔGreg and ΔGCR) of W2-4 are the best, with more negative ΔGinj (–4.33), ΔGreg (–1.74) and more positive ΔGCR (1.92). Replacing 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole with thiazolo[5,4-d]thiazole as π'-spacers is a effective way to improve the performance of the dyes. An introduction of thiazolo[5,4-d]thiazole group can improve the absorption ability and hinder charge recombination.
