A substrate analogue, 6-(difluoromethyl)tryptophan, was developed and characterized for mechanistic investigation of tryptophanase. The utility of this derivative was based on its ability to partition between fluoride elimination and carbon-carbon bond scission during tryptophan metabolism. The non-enzymatic hydrolysis to 6-formyltryptophan occurred slowly under neutral conditions with a first-order rate constant of 0.0039 min-1. This process, however, was accelerated by 10(4)-fold upon deprotonation of the indolyl nitrogen (N-1) at high pH. Tryptophanase did not detectably facilitate this hydrolysis reaction, since no protein-dependent conversion of the difluoromethyl group was detected. Instead, the enzyme accepted the fluorinated species as an analogue of tryptophan and catalyzed the corresponding formation of 6-(difluoromethyl)indole, pyruvate, and ammonium ion. Anionic intermediates are therefore not expected to form during the catalytic activation of the indolyl moiety. Instead, aromatic protonation likely promotes the release of indole during enzymatic degradation of tryptophan.  相似文献

A series of 3,5-bis(indolyl)-1,2,4-thiadiazoles were synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxicity against selected human cancer cell lines. The reaction of indole-3-thiocarboxamide 3 with iodobenzene diacetate underwent oxidative dimerization to give 3,5-bis(indolyl)-1,2,4-thiadiazoles 4a-n. Among the synthesized bis(indoly)-1,2,4-thiadiazoles, the compound 4h with 4-chlorobenzyl and methoxy substituents showed the most potent activity.  相似文献

The filamentous bacteriophage Pf3 consists of a covalently closed DNA single strand of 5833 nucleotides sheathed by approximately 2500 copies of a 44-residue capsid subunit. The capsid subunit contains a single tryptophan residue (Trp-38), which is located within the basic C-terminal sequence (-RWIKAQFF) and is essential for virion assembly in vivo. Polarized Raman microspectroscopy has been employed to determine the orientation of the Trp-38 side chain in the native virus structure. The polarized Raman measurements show that the plane of the indolyl ring is tilted by 17 degrees from the virion axis and that the indolyl pseudo-twofold axis is inclined at 46 degrees to the virion axis. Using the presently determined orientation of the indolyl ring and side-chain torsion angles, chi(1) (N-C(alpha)-C(beta)-C(gamma)) and chi(2,1) (C(alpha)-C(beta)-C(gamma)-C(delta1)), we propose a detailed molecular model for the local structure of Trp-38 in the Pf3 virion. The present Pf3 model is consistent with previously reported Raman, ultraviolet-resonance Raman and fluorescence results suggesting an unusual environment for Trp-38 in the virion assembly, probably involving an intrasubunit cation-pi interaction between the guanidinium moiety of Arg-37 and the indolyl moiety of Trp-38. Such a C-terminal Trp-38/Arg-37 interaction may be important for the stabilization of a subunit conformation that is required for binding to the single-stranded DNA genome during virion assembly.  相似文献

A series of bis(indolyl) hydrazide-hydrazones 5a-n were synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxicity against selected human cancer cell lines. The reaction of indole-3-carboxaldehyde 2 with indole-3-carbohydrazide 4 in presence of catalytic amount of acetic acid afforded 5a-n in good yields. Among the synthesized bis(indolyl)hydrazide-hydrazones, the compound 5b with N-(p-chlorobenzyl) and bromo substituents was found to be the most potent against multiple cancer cell lines (IC(50)=1.0 μM, MDA-MB-231). The compound 5k exhibited selective cytotoxicity against breast cancer cell line MCF7 (IC(50)=3.1 μM).  相似文献

Mono(indolyl)-4-trifluoromethylpyridines and bis(indolyl)-4-trifluoromethylpyridines were synthesized using Suzuki cross-coupling reaction between 2-chloro-4-trifluoromethylpyridine 9, 2,6-dichloro-4-trifluoromethylpyridine 6 or 2,6-dichloro-3-cyano-4-trifluoromethylpyridine 23 and N-tosyl-3-indolylboronic acid 10. They were evaluated for cytotoxic activity against P388 and A-549 cells with IC(50) values. 4-Trifluoromethyl-2,6-bis[3'-(N-tosyl-6'-methoxylindolyl)]pyridine 18 was identified as the most potent in this series.  相似文献

A new series of diphenylalkyl piperazine derivatives with high affinities for the dopamine transporter (DAT), which were modified at both the diphenylalkyl moiety and the phenyl ring in the phenylamino moiety of 1-[4,4-bis(4-fluorophenyl)butyl]-4-[2-hydroxy-3-(phenylamino)propyl]piperazine 1, was evaluated for their inhibitory activities against auto-oxidative lipid peroxidation in canine brain homogenates. Some of these were approximately equivalent in activity to alpha-tocopherol as a potent antioxidant with IC(50) values of low micromolar order, and the 4-hydroxyphenyl derivative 11 showed the most potent antioxidative activity with an IC(50) value of 0.32 microM, exhibiting approximately 5-fold more potent activity than alpha-tocopherol. The structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies of the antioxidative activity of these derivatives are presented.  相似文献

To find potent and selective antagonists of the arginine vasopressin (AVP) V1A receptor, optimization studies of compounds structurally related to (Z)-N-{4'-[(4,4-difluoro-5-carbamoylmethylidene-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-1-benzazepin-1-yl)carbonyl]phenyl}carboxamide were performed. The synthesis and pharmacological properties of these compounds are described. We first investigated the effect of the carboxamide moiety, and found that a 2-methylfuran-3-carbonyl group at this position increased V1A binding affinity and selectivity for the V1A receptor versus the V2 receptor. The amino group of the 5-carbamoylmethylidene moiety was also examined, and a 4-piperidinopiperidino group was found to be optimal at this position. The hemifumarate of compound 12l (YM218) was shown to exhibit potent binding affinity, V1A receptor selectivity, and in vivo antagonist activity.  相似文献

A novel series of indolyl and dihydroindolyl glycinamides were identified as potent NPY5 antagonists with in vivo activity from screen hit 1. The dihydroindolyl glycinamide 10a significantly inhibits NPY5 agonist induced feeding at a dose of 0.1 mg/kg. The indolyl glycinamide 12c also inhibits NPY5 agonist induced feeding at a dose of 1 mg/kg. Both compounds 10a and 12c represent potential tools for further investigation into the biology of the NPY5 receptor.  相似文献

The novel diphenyl piperazine derivatives containing the phenyl substituted aminopropanol moiety, including 1-[4,4-bis(4-fluorophenyl)butyl]-4-[2-hydroxy-3-(phenylamino)propyl]piperazine 1, which were modified at the connective between the diphenyl and piperazine moieties, have been found to be potent dopamine uptake inhibitors. To study the further structure-activity relationship (SAR) of these compounds, a new series was synthesized, with modifications at the 2-hydroxy-3-phenylaminopropyl moiety of 1. The series was evaluated for dopamine transporter (DAT) binding affinity with [3H]GBR12935 in rat striatal membranes. Most of the compounds showed moderate to high DAT binding affinities and some were approximately equivalent in activity to compound 1 or GBR12909 as a dopamine uptake inhibitor, with IC(50) values of nanomolar range. The SAR suggested that on exhibiting a potent interaction with the DAT, there is probably a steric limitation around the benzene ring of the phenylamino moiety of 1, allowing only small-sized substituents with the exception of basic moieties at the 4-position. In addition, the SAR at the 3-amino-2-propanol moiety of 1 suggested that either the nitrogen atom with an electron donating substituent or the unsubstituted nitrogen atom and also the hydroxy group are desirable for elicitation of a potent DAT binding affinity.  相似文献

Inhibition of Pancreatic lipase (PL) is considered to be a promising target for the management of obesity, owing to its crucial role in the digestion of dietary triglycerides. A series of 31 indolyl ketohydrazide-hydrazone analogs ( 5 aa – cm ) were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their PL inhibitory potential. The analogs were designed using molecular modelling studies. The designed analogs were then synthesized by condensation of indolyl oxoacetohydrazide with various substituted benzaldehydes. All the synthesized analogs showed PL inhibitory activity in the range of 4.13–48.35 μM, as compared with orlistat (0.86±0.09 μM). The most potent analog 5 bi (IC50=4.13±0.95 μM) was found to show a competitive type of inhibition with Ki value of 0.725 μM. Additionally, the molecular docking study proved the binding of analog 5 bi at the active site of PL (PDB ID: 1LPB) with MolDock score of −141.279 kcal/mol. It also exhibited various interactions with the key amino acids namely Phe77, Phe215, Tyr114, Ser152, Arg256, His263, etc. Furthermore, the protein-ligand complex of analog 5 bi was found to be stable in molecular dynamics simulation for 100 ns with RMSD of less than 3.2 and 4 Å for the protein and ligand, respectively. The current work hereby provides a basis for the potential role of indolyl ketohydrazide-hydrazone analogs in PL inhibition and further optimization could result in the generation of new leads as anti-obesity agents.  相似文献

The development of potent and selective adenosine receptor ligands as potential drugs is an active area of research. Xanthines are one of the most important classes of adenosine receptor antagonists and have been widely developed in terms of affinity and selectivity for adenosine receptors. We recently developed new original pathways for the synthesis of xanthine analogues starting from 5-substituted-2-amino-2-oxazoline 5 as a synthon. These procedures allowed us to selectively introduce a large, functionalized and beta-adrenergic 2-hydroxy-3-phenoxypropyl pharmacophore at the 1- and 3-position of the xanthine moiety which allowed further structural modifications. In this study, we present a new synthetic access to racemic xanthine derivatives 1-4 from 5, and their evaluation as adenosine A1, A2A and A3 receptor ligands in radioligand binding studies. The 2-hydroxy-3-phenoxypropyl moiety was well tolerated in the 3-position of the xanthine core, while its introduction in the 1-position of the xanthine moiety led to a large decrease in adenosine receptor affinity. 1,7-Dimethyl-3-[1-(2-chloro-3-phenoxypropyl)]-8-(3,4,5-trimethoxystyryl)xanthine (2n) was the most potent and selective A2A antagonist of the present series (Ki=44 nM, >200-fold selective vs A1). 1-Propyl-3-[1-(2-hydroxy-3-phenoxypropyl)]-8-noradamantylxanthine (3f) was identified as a potent (KiA1=21 nM) and highly selective (>350-fold vs A2A and A3 receptor) adenosine A1 receptor antagonist.  相似文献

Novel phenethylpyridone derivatives were identified as potent human melanin-concentrating hormone 1 receptor (MCH-1R) antagonists. A search for surrogates for the 4-(2-aminoethoxy)phenyl moiety of 1 resulted in discovery of 2-[4-(aminomethyl)phenyl]ethyl substructure as in 6a. Successive optimization of the right-hand moiety led to the identification of a number of potent derivatives.  相似文献

A selective and potent inhibitor of neuraminidases, a hydrolase that is responsible for processing sialylated glycoconjugates, is a promising drug candidate for various infective diseases. The current study demonstrates that the use of an aglycone-focused library of 2-difluoromethylphenyl α-sialosides is an effective technique to find potent and selective mechanism-based labeling reagents for neuraminidases. The focused library was constructed from a 4-azide-2-difluoromethylphenyl sialoside (2) and an alkyne-terminated compound library by a click reaction. The focused library showed different inhibition patterns for two neuraminidases, Vibrio cholerae neuraminidase (VCNA) and human neuraminidase 2 (hNeu2), and the most potent inhibitors for each neuraminidase were selected. A kinetic analysis of the selected inhibitors demonstrated that the modification of the aglycone moiety improved the K(I) value with little change in the t(1/2) value of the enzyme activity relative to the basic skeleton (2).  相似文献

A series of 1-(1H-indol-4-yloxy)-3-(4-arylpiperidinyl)propan-2-ols possessing potent dual 5-HT(1A) receptor antagonism and serotonin reuptake inhibition was discovered. The fused aryl ring moiety contributed to the robust dual activities irrespective of the regiochemistry associated with its connectivity to the piperidine central ring.  相似文献

FSCPX (1) and its amide analogue (2) have been reported to exhibit potent and selective irreversible antagonism of the A(1) adenosine receptor (A(1)AR) when used in in vitro biological preparations. In order to obtain an irreversible A(1)AR antagonist with improved stability, analogues of FSCPX incorporating the chemoreactive 4-(fluorosulfonyl)phenyl moiety separated from the xanthine pharmacophore by a ketone linkage were explored. Compounds 4a-c exhibited improved affinity for the A(1)AR and concentration-dependent irreversible binding to the A(1)AR.  相似文献

A successful design of conformationally restricted novel quinazolinone derivatives linked via a cyclopentene moiety as potent poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase-1 (PARP-1) inhibitors has been developed. One selected member of the new series, 8-chloro-2-[(3S)-3-(4-phenylpiperidin-1-yl)cyclopent-1-en-1-yl]quinazolin-4(3H)-one (S-16d), was found to be highly potent with IC(50)=8.7 nM and good brain penetration.  相似文献

A series of potent and novel acylsulfonamide-bearing triazines were synthesized and the structure-activity relationships (SARs) as HCV entry inhibitors were evaluated. This acylsulfonamide series was derived from an early lead, 4-(4-(1-(4-chlorophenyl)cyclopropylamino)-6-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)-1,3,5-triazin-2-ylamino)benzoic acid wherein the carboxylic acid was replaced with an acylsulfonamide moiety. This structural modification provided a class of compounds which projected an additional vector off the terminus of the acylsulfonamide functionality as a means to drive activity. This effort led to the discovery of potent analogues within this series that demonstrated sub-nanomolar EC50 values in the HCV pseudotype particle (HCVpp) assay.  相似文献

A series of 7beta-[2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-(Z)-(carboxymethoxyimino)acetamido]cephalosporins bearing a 1-(substituted)-1H-pyrrolo[3,2-b]pyridinium group at C-3' position was synthesized and their in vitro antibacterial activities against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other Gram-negative pathogens were evaluated. Among the cephalosporins prepared, 7beta-[2-(2-amino-5-chlorothiazol-4yl)-2(Z)-((S)-1-carboxyethoxyimino)acetamido]cephalosporins (42d) showed potent antibacterial activities against P. aeruginosa and other Gram-negative pathogens including the strains which produce class C beta-lactamase and extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL). These results imply that both the Cl atom on the C-7 aminothiazole moiety and the alpha-substituent at the iminoether moiety are essential for the stability against beta-lactamase and the potent activity against Gram-negative bacteria including P. aeruginosa.  相似文献

A novel series of pyrrolo[3,4-c] carbazoles fused with a quinolinyl/isoquinolinyl moiety were synthesized and their D1/CDK4 inhibitory and antiproliferative activity were evaluated. Compound 8H, 14H-isoquinolinyl[6,5-a]-pyrrolo[3,4-c]carbazole-7,9-dione (1d) was found to be a highly potent D1/CDK4 inhibitor with an IC(50) of 69 nM. Compound 1d also inhibited tumor cell growth, arrested tumor cells in G1 phase and inhibited pRb phosphorylation.  相似文献
