In an effort to design inhibitors of human glutaminyl cyclase (QC), we have synthesized a library of N-aryl N-(5-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)propyl thioureas and investigated the contribution of the aryl region of these compounds to their structure–activity relationships as cyclase inhibitors. Our design was guided by the proposed binding mode of the preferred substrate for the cyclase. In this series, compound 52 was identified as the most potent QC inhibitor with an IC50 value of 58 nM, which was two-fold more potent than the previously reported lead 2. Compound 52 is a most promising candidate for future evaluation to monitor its ability to reduce the formation of pGlu-Aβ and Aβ plaques in cells and transgenic animals. 相似文献

Leucyl-tRNA synthetase (LRS) plays an important role in amino acid-dependent mTORC1 signaling, which is known to be associated with cellular metabolism and proliferation. Therefore, LRS-targeting small molecules that can suppress mTORC1 activation may provide an alternative strategy to current anticancer therapy. In this work, we developed a library of leucyladenylate sulfate analogues by extensively modifying three different pharmacophoric regions comprising adenine, ribose and leucine. Several effective compounds were identified by cell-based mTORC1 activation assays and further tested for anticancer activity. The selected compounds mostly exhibited selective cytotoxicity toward five different cancer cell lines, supporting the hypothesis that the LRS-mediated mTORC1 pathway is a promising alternative target to current therapeutic approaches. 相似文献

A series of N-4-substituted-benzyl-N'-tert-butylbenzyl thioureas were prepared for the study of their agonistic/antagonistic activities to the vanilloid receptor in rat DRG neurons. Their structure-activity relationship reveals that not only the two oxygens and amide hydrogen of sulfonamido group, but also the optimal size of methyl in methanesulfonamido group play an integral role for the antagonistic activity on vanilloid receptor. 相似文献

In order to improve the analgesic activity and pharmacokinetics of thioureas 2 and 3, which we previously developed as potent vanilloid receptor (VR) agonists, we prepared and characterized phenolic modifications of them and of their amide surrogates (7, 8). The aminoethyl analogue of the amide template 13 was a potent analgesic with an EC50=0.96 microg/kg in the AA-induced writhing test and with better in vivo stability than the parent phenol. 相似文献

Outbred mice traditionally are considered to display high variability, thereby limiting their use in some studies. Researchers frequently are encouraged to use inbred strains of mice because of the greater homogeneity of these experimental animals. We compared the pulmonary inflammatory response of inbred BALB/cJ mice to that of outbred HSD-ICR mice by measuring multiple variables, including cytokines, chemokines, number of pulmonary inflammatory cells, and respiratory parameters. Cockroach allergens induced significant pulmonary inflammation in both BALB and ICR mice. Our comparisons of the coefficients of variance for 148 discrete data sets for each strain or stock indicated that BALB and ICR mice have roughly equivalent intrastrain or -stock variability in our model of asthma-like pulmonary inflammation. The average coefficient of variance, calculated as the ratio of the SD to the mean of a data set, was 0.35 ± 0.34 for BALB mice compared with 0.31 ± 0.32 for ICR mice. In conclusion, inbred BALB and outbred ICR mice have roughly equivalent intrastrain or -stock variability in a murine model of asthma-like pulmonary inflammation. 相似文献

A total of 1,708 small mammals (1,617 rodents and 91 soricomorphs), including Apodemus agrarius (n = 1,400), Microtus fortis (167), Crocidura lasiura (91), Mus musculus (32), Myodes (= Eothenomys) regulus (9), Micromys minutus (6), and Tscherskia (= Cricetulus) triton (3), were live-trapped at US/Republic of Korea (ROK) military training sites near the demilitarized zone (DMZ) of Paju, Pocheon, and Yeoncheon, Gyeonggi Province from December 2004 to December 2009. Small mammals were examined for their intestinal nematodes by necropsy. A total of 1,617 rodents (100%) and 91 (100%) soricomorphs were infected with at least 1 nematode species, including Nippostrongylus brasiliensis, Heligmosomoides polygyrus, Syphacia obvelata, Heterakis spumosa, Protospirura muris, Capillaria spp., Trichuris muris, Rictularia affinis, and an unidentified species. N. brasiliensis was the most common species infecting small mammals (1,060; 62.1%) followed by H. polygyrus (617; 36.1%), S. obvelata (370; 21.7%), H. spumosa (314; 18.4%), P. muris (123; 7.2%), and Capillaria spp. (59; 3.5%). Low infection rates (0.1-0.8%) were observed for T. muris, R. affinis, and an unidentified species. The number of recovered worms was highest for N. brasiliensis (21,623 worms; mean 20.4 worms/infected specimen) followed by S. obvelata (9,235; 25.0 worms), H. polygyrus (4,122; 6.7 worms), and H. spumosa (1,160; 3.7 worms). A. agrarius demonstrated the highest prevalence for N. brasiliensis (70.9%), followed by M. minutus (50.0%), T. triton (33.3%), M. fortis (28.1%), M. musculus (15.6%), C. lasiura (13.2%), and M. regulus (0%). This is the first report of nematode infections in small mammals captured near the DMZ in ROK. 相似文献

Legumain or asparaginly endopeptidase (AEP) is a lysosomal cysteine protease with a high level of specificity for cleavage of protein substrates after an asparagine residue. It is also capable of cleaving after aspartic acids sites when in the acidic environment of the lysosome. Legumain expression and activity is linked to a number of pathological conditions including cancer, atherosclerosis and inflammation, yet its biological role in these pathologies is not well-understood. Highly potent and selective inhibitors of legumain would not only be valuable for studying the functional roles of legumain in these conditions, but may have therapeutic potential as well. We describe here the design, synthesis and in vitro evaluation of selective legumain inhibitors based on the aza-asparaginyl scaffold. We synthesized a library of aza-peptidyl inhibitors with various non-natural amino acids and different electrophilic warheads, and characterized the kinetic properties of inactivation of legumain. We also synthesized fluorescently labeled inhibitors to investigate cell permeability and selectivity of the compounds. The inhibitors have second order rate constants of up to 5 × 10(4)M(-1)s(-1) and IC(50) values as low as 4 nM against recombinant mouse legumain. In addition, the inhibitors are highly selective toward legumain and have little or no cross-reactivity with cathepsins. Overall, we have identified several valuable new inhibitors of legumain that can be used to study legumain function in multiple disease models. 相似文献

3,4-Dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones (DHPMs) were selected and derivatized through a HIV-1 replication assay based on GFP reporter cells. Compounds 14, 25, 31, and 36 exhibited significant inhibition of HIV-1 replication with a good safety profile. Chiral separation of each enantiomer by fractional crystallization showed that only the S enantiomer retained anti-HIV activity. Compound (S)-40, a novel and potent DHPM analog, could serve as an advanced lead for further development and the determination of the mechanism of action. 相似文献

Pyroglutamate-modified amyloid β peptides (pGlu-Aβ) are highly neurotoxic and promote the formation of amyloid plaques. The pGlu-Aβ peptides are generated by glutaminyl cyclase (QC), and recent clinical studies indicate that QC represents an alternative therapeutic target to treat Alzheimer’s disease (AD). We have previously developed a series of QC inhibitors with an extended pharmacophoric scaffold, termed the Arg-mimetic D-region. In the present study, we focused on the structure activity relationship (SAR) of analogues with modifications in the D-region and evaluated their biological activity. Most compounds in this series exhibited potent activity in vitro, and our SAR analysis and the molecular docking studies identified compound 202 as a potential candidate because it forms an additional hydrophobic interaction in the hQC active site. Overall, our study provides valuable insights into the Arg-mimetic pharmacophore that will guide the design of novel QC inhibitors as potential treatments for AD. 相似文献

We describe a novel 7-aminopyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine (7-APP) derivative as a potent hepatitis C virus (HCV) inhibitor. A series of 7-APPs was synthesized and evaluated for inhibitory activity against HCV in different cell culture systems. The synthesis and preliminary structure-activity relationship study of 7-APP are reported. 相似文献
