The inhibition of 17β‐hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (17β‐HSD1), which catalyzes the conversion of estrone into the potent estrogen receptor agonist estradiol (E2), is discussed as a novel therapeutic approach for the treatment of estrogen‐dependent diseases. Because the reduction of E2 would be basically limited to the target tissues, this approach is expected to cause fewer side effects than the currently employed antihormonal therapies. Recently, we reported on 6‐hydroxybenzothiazole ketones as a new class of 17β‐HSD1 inhibitors with a notable activity/selectivity profile. In an attempt to further optimize these parameters, we modified the benzothiazole core by a systematic bioisosteric replacement. Thus, we were able to identify a new 6‐hydroxybenzothiophene derivative that displayed stronger inhibition of 17β‐HSD1 (IC50=13 nM ) and that was also more selective than a benzothiazole analog. Using ab initio calculations, we found that the higher potency of the 6‐hydroxybenzothiophene derivative was probably due to more favorable conformational preorganization of the scaffold for binding to the enzyme. 相似文献

Elevated levels of active glucocorticoids have been implicated in the development of several phenotypes of metabolic syndrome, such as type 2 diabetes and obesity. 11β‐Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β‐HSD1) catalyses the intracellular conversion of inactive cortisone to cortisol. Selective 11β‐HSD1 inhibitors have shown beneficial effects in various conditions, including diabetes, dyslipidemia and obesity. A series of adamantyl ethanone pyridyl derivatives has been identified, providing potent and selective inhibitors of human 11β‐HSD1. Lead compounds display low nanomolar inhibition against human and mouse 11β‐HSD1 and are selective for this isoform, with no activity against 11β‐HSD2 and 17β‐HSD1. Structure–activity relationship studies reveal that an unsubstituted pyridine tethered to an adamantyl ethanone motif through an ether or sulfoxide linker provides a suitable pharmacophore for activity. The most potent inhibitors have IC50 values around 34–48 nM against human 11β‐HSD1, display reasonable metabolic stability in human liver microsomes, and weak inhibition of key human CYP450 enzymes. 相似文献

11β‐Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β‐HSD1) plays a key role in converting intracellular cortisone to physiologically active cortisol, which is implicated in the development of several phenotypes of metabolic syndrome. Inhibition of 11β‐HSD1 activity with selective inhibitors has beneficial effects on various conditions, including diabetes, dyslipidemia and obesity, and therefore constitutes a promising strategy to discover novel therapies for metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. A series of novel adamantyl heterocyclic ketones provides potent and selective inhibitors of human 11β‐HSD1. Lead compounds display low nanomolar inhibition against human and mouse 11β‐HSD1 and are selective with no activity against 11β‐HSD2 and 17β‐HSD1. Selected potent 11β‐HSD1 inhibitors show moderate metabolic stability upon incubation with human liver microsomes and weak inhibition of human CYP450 enzymes. 相似文献

In recent years, DAPK‐related apoptosis‐inducing protein kinase 2 (DRAK2) has emerged as a promising target for the treatment of a variety of autoimmune diseases and for the prevention of graft rejection after organ transplantation. However, medicinal chemistry optimization campaigns for the discovery of novel small‐molecule inhibitors of DRAK2 have not yet been published. Screening of a proprietary compound library led to the discovery of a benzothiophene analogue that displays an affinity constant (Kd) value of 0.25 μM . Variation of the core scaffold and of the substitution pattern afforded a series of 5‐arylthieno[2,3‐b]pyridines with strong binding affinity (Kd=0.008 μM for the most potent representative). These compounds also show promising activity in a functional biochemical DRAK2 enzyme assay, with an IC50 value of 0.029 μM for the most potent congener. Selectivity profiling of the most potent compounds revealed that they lack selectivity within the DAPK family of kinases. However, one of the less potent analogues is a selective ligand for DRAK2 and can be used as starting point for the synthesis of selective and potent DRAK2 inhibitors. 相似文献

β‐Aminopeptidases have exclusive biocatalytic potential because they react with peptides composed of β‐amino acids, which serve as building blocks for the design of non‐natural peptidomimetics. We have identified the β‐lactam antibiotic ampicillin and the ampicillin‐derived penicilloic acid as novel inhibitors of the β‐aminopeptidase BapA from Sphingosinicella xenopeptidilytica (Ki values of 0.69 and 0.74 mM , respectively). We report high‐resolution crystal structures of BapA in noncovalent complexes with these inhibitors and with the serine protease inhibitor 4‐(2‐aminoethyl)benzenesulfonyl fluoride. All three inhibitors showed similar binding characteristics; the aromatic moiety extended into a hydrophobic binding pocket of the active site, and the free amino group formed a salt bridge with Glu133 of BapA. The exact position of the inhibitors and structural details of the ligand binding pocket illustrate the specificity and the enantioselectivity of BapA‐catalyzed reactions with β‐peptide substrates. 相似文献

The increasing incidence of inducible chromosomal AmpC β‐lactamases within the clinic is a growing concern because these enzymes deactivate a broad range of even the most recently developed β‐lactam antibiotics. As a result, new strategies are needed to block the action of this antibiotic resistance enzyme. Presented here is a strategy to combat the action of inducible AmpC by inhibiting the β‐glucosaminidase NagZ, which is an enzyme involved in regulating the induction of AmpC expression. A divergent route facilitating the rapid synthesis of a series of N‐acyl analogues of 2‐acetamido‐2‐deoxynojirimycin is reported here. Among these compounds are potent NagZ inhibitors that are selective against functionally related human enzymes. These compounds reduce minimum inhibitory concentration values for β‐lactams against a clinically relevant Gram‐negative bacterium bearing inducible chromosomal AmpC β‐lactamase, Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The structure of a NagZ–inhibitor complex provides insight into the molecular basis for inhibition by these compounds. 相似文献

The major challenge for proteasome inhibitor design lies in achieving high selectivity for, and activity against, the target, which requires specific interactions with the active site. Novel ligands aim to overcome off‐target‐related side effects such as peripheral neuropathy, which is frequently observed in cancer patients treated with the FDA‐approved proteasome inhibitors bortezomib ( 1 ) or carfilzomib ( 2 ). A systematic comparison of electrophilic headgroups recently identified the class of α‐keto amides as promising for next generation drug development. On the basis of crystallographic knowledge, we were able to develop a structure–activity relationship (SAR)‐based approach for rational ligand design using an electronic parameter (Hammett’s σ) and in silico molecular modeling. This resulted in the tripeptidic α‐keto phenylamide BSc4999 [(S)‐3‐(benzyloxycarbonyl‐(S)‐leucyl‐(S)‐leucylamino)‐5‐methyl‐2‐oxo‐N‐(2,4‐dimethylphenyl)hexanamide, 6 a ], a highly potent (IC50=38 nM ), cell‐permeable, and slowly reversible covalent inhibitor which targets both the primed and non‐primed sites of the proteasome’s substrate binding channel as a special criterion for selectivity. The improved inhibition potency and selectivity of this new α‐keto phenylamide makes it a promising candidate for targeting a wider range of tumor subtypes than commercially available proteasome inhibitors and presents a new candidate for future studies. 相似文献

A method for the preparation of 11α‐hydroxy derivatives of lithocholic and chenodeoxycholic acids, recently discovered to be natural bile acids, is described. The principal reactions involved were (1) elimination of the 12α‐mesyloxy group of the methyl esters of 3α‐acetate‐12α‐mesylate and 3α,7α‐diacetate‐12α‐mesylate derivatives of deoxycholic acid and cholic acid with potassium acetate/hexamethylphosphoramide; (2) simultaneous reduction/hydrolysis of the resulting △11‐3α‐acetoxy and △11‐3α,7α‐diacetoxy methyl esters with lithium aluminum hydride; (3) stereoselective 11α‐hydroxylation of the △11‐3α,24‐diol and △11‐3α,7α,24‐triol intermediates with B2H6/tetrahydrofuran (THF); and (4) selective oxidation at C‐24 of the resulting 3α,11α,24‐triol and 3α,7α,11α,24‐tetrol to the corresponding C‐24 carboxylic acids with NaClO2 catalyzed by 2,2,6,6‐tetramethylpiperidine 1‐oxyl free radical (TEMPO) and NaClO. In summary, 3α,11α‐dihydroxy‐5β‐cholan‐24‐oic acid and 3α,7α,11α‐trihydroxy‐5β‐cholan‐24‐oic acid have been synthesized and their nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra characterized. These compounds are now available as reference standards to be used in biliary bile acid analysis. 相似文献

Covalent irreversible inhibitors can successfully treat antibiotic‐resistant infections by targeting serine β‐lactamases. However, this strategy is useless for New Delhi metallo‐β‐lactamase (NDM), which uses a non‐covalent catalytic mechanism and lacks an active‐site serine. Here, NDM‐1 was irreversibly inactivated by three β‐lactam substrates: cephalothin, moxalactam, and cefaclor, albeit at supratherapeutic doses (e.g., cefaclor KI=2.3±0.1 mM ; kinact=0.024±0.001 min?1). Inactivation by cephalothin and moxalactam was mediated through Cys208. Inactivation by cefaclor proceeded through multiple pathways, in part mediated by Lys211. Use of a cefaclor metabolite enabled mass spectrometric identification of a +346.0735 Da covalent adduct on Lys211, and an inactivation mechanism is proposed. Lys211 was identified as a promising “handhold” for developing covalent NDM‐1 inhibitors and serves as a conceptual example for creating covalent inhibitors for enzymes with non‐covalent mechanisms. 相似文献

Wnt signaling plays key roles in embryonic development and various human diseases. Activity‐guided testing to isolate Wnt signaling inhibitors from the methanol extract of Calotropis gigantea (Asclepiadaceae) exudutes identified six Wnt inhibitory cardenolides ( 1 – 6 ), of which 1 , 3 , 5 , and 6 exhibited potent TCF/β‐catenin inhibitory activities (IC50 0.7–3.6 nM ). Calotropin ( 1 ) inhibited Wnt signaling by decreasing both nuclear and cytosolic β‐catenin in a dose‐dependent manner, and promoted degradation of β‐catenin by increasing the phosphorylation of β‐catenin at Ser45 through casein kinase 1α (CK1α). Moreover, 1 significantly increased CK1α protein and mRNA levels. The results suggest that 1 inhibits the Wnt signaling pathway by increasing CK1α protein levels. To the best of our knowledge, calotropin is the first small molecule to increase CK1α levels. 相似文献

Competitive glycosidase inhibitors are generally sugar mimics that are costly and tedious to obtain because they require challenging and elongated chemical synthesis, which must be stereo‐ and regiocontrolled. Here, we show that readily accessible achiral (E)‐1‐phenyl‐3‐(4‐strylphenyl)ureas are potent competitive α‐glucosidase inhibitors. A systematic synthesis study shows that the 1‐phenyl moiety on the urea is critical for ensuring competitive inhibition, and substituents on both terminal phenyl groups contribute to inhibition potency. The most potent inhibitor, compound 12 (IC50=8.4 μM , Ki=3.2 μM ), manifested a simple slow‐binding inhibition profile for α‐glucosidase with the kinetic parameters k3=0.005256 μM ?1 min?1, k4=0.003024 min?1, and ${K{{{\rm app}\hfill \atop {\rm i}\hfill}}}$ =0.5753 μM . 相似文献

We investigated the reactions between substituted α,β‐unsaturated carbonyl compounds (Michael systems) and thiols by computations as well as chemoassays. The results give insight into variations in the underlying mechanisms as a function of the substitution pattern. This is of interest for the mechanisms of inhibition of the SARS coronavirus main protease (SARS‐CoV Mpro) by etacrynic acid derivatives as well as for the excess toxicity of substituted α,β‐unsaturated carbonyl compounds. This study compares possible reaction courses including 1,4‐addition followed by a ketonization step, and underscores the importance of a base‐catalyzed step for the reactivity of thiol groups in enzymes. Phenyl and methyl substituents at the Michael system decrease the reactivity of the electrophilic compound, but chlorophenyl substituents partly recover the reactivity. Computations also indicate that electron‐pushing substituents lead to a change in the reaction mechanism. The conformation of the Michael system is also found to significantly influence reactivity: the s‐cis conformation leads to higher reactivity than the s‐trans conformation. The computed data explain the trends in measured inhibition potencies of substituted α,β‐unsaturated carbonyl compounds and of reaction rates in chemical assays. They also indicate that the reversibility of inhibition does not stand in contrast to the formation of a new covalent bond between inhibitor and protease. 相似文献

Novel compounds were prepared in fair to good yields as human β3‐adrenoceptor (β3‐AR) agonists. In particular, aryloxypropanolamines 7 a – d (EC50=0.57–2.1 nM ) and arylethanolamines 12 a , b , e (EC50=6.38–19.4 nM ) were designed to explore the effects of modifications at the right‐hand side of these molecules on their activity as β3‐AR agonists. Piperidine sulfonamides 15 a – c , e – g (EC50=6.1–36.2 nM ) and piperazine sulfonamide derivatives 20 – 29 (EC50=1.79–49.3 nM ) were examined as compounds bearing a non‐aromatic linker on the right‐ and left‐hand sides of the molecules. Some piperazine sulfonamides were found to be potent and selective β3‐AR agonists, even if the amine nitrogen atom is tertiary and not secondary, as is the case for all β3‐AR agonists reported so far. (S)‐3‐{4‐{N‐{4‐{2‐[2‐Hydroxy‐3‐(4‐hydroxyphenoxy)propylamino]ethyl}phenyl}sulfamoyl}phenoxy}propanoic acid ( 7 d ; EC50=0.57 nM ), (R)‐N‐{4‐[2‐(2‐hydroxy‐2‐phenylethylamino)ethyl]phenyl}‐4‐(3‐octylureido)benzenesulfonamide ( 12 e ; EC50=6.38 nM ), (R)‐2‐[1‐(4‐methoxyphenylsulfonyl)piperidin‐4‐ylamino]‐1‐phenylethanol ( 15 f ; EC50=6.1 nM ), and (S)‐4‐{2‐hydroxy‐3‐[4‐(4‐methoxyphenylsulfonyl)piperazin‐1‐yl]propoxy}phenol ( 25 ; EC50=1.79 nM ) were found to be the most potent β3‐AR agonists of the aryloxypropanolamine, arylethanolamine, piperidine sulfonamide, and piperazine sulfonamide classes, respectively. The two most potent compounds were identified as possible candidates for further development of β3‐AR agonists useful in the treatment of β3‐AR‐mediated pathological conditions. 相似文献

An efficient, scaleable procedure for the synthesis of phosphonate imide reagent 4 is described, as well as a DBU‐mediated Horner Wadsworth Emmons reaction that affords the target compounds in high yield and (E)‐selectivity and with good functional group tolerance. 相似文献

Previous studies by our research group have been concerned with the design of selective inhibitors of heme oxygenases (HO‐1 and HO‐2). The majority of these were based on a four‐carbon linkage of an azole, usually an imidazole, and an aromatic moiety. In the present study, we designed and synthesized a series of inhibition candidates containing a shorter linkage between these groups, specifically, a series of 1‐aryl‐2‐(1H‐imidazol‐1‐yl/1H‐1,2,4‐triazol‐1‐yl)ethanones and their derivatives. As regards HO‐1 inhibition, the aromatic moieties yielding best results were found to be halogen‐substituted residues such as 3‐bromophenyl, 4‐bromophenyl, and 3,4‐dichlorophenyl, or hydrocarbon residues such as 2‐naphthyl, 4‐biphenyl, 4‐benzylphenyl, and 4‐(2‐phenethyl)phenyl. Among the imidazole‐ketones, five ( 36 – 39 , and 44 ) were found to be very potent (IC50<5 μM ) toward both isozymes. Relative to the imidazole‐ketones, the series of corresponding triazole‐ketones showed four compounds ( 54 , 55 , 61 , and 62 ) having a selectivity index >50 in favor of HO‐1. In the case of the azole‐dioxolanes, two of them ( 80 and 85 ), each possessing a 2‐naphthyl moiety, were found to be particularly potent and selective HO‐1 inhibitors. Three non‐carbonyl analogues ( 87 , 89 , and 91 ) of 1‐(4‐chlorophenyl)‐2‐(1H‐imidazol‐1‐yl)ethanone were found to be good inhibitors of HO‐1. For the first time in our studies, two azole‐based inhibitors ( 37 and 39 ) were found to exhibit a modest selectivity index in favor of HO‐2. The present study has revealed additional candidates based on inhibition of heme oxygenases for potentially useful pharmacological and therapeutic applications. 相似文献

Glaucoma affects millions of people worldwide and causes optic nerve damage and blindness. The elevation of the intraocular pressure (IOP) is the main risk factor associated with this pathology, and decreasing IOP is the key therapeutic target of current pharmacological treatments. As potential ocular hypotensive agents, we studied compounds that act on two receptors (serotonin 2A and adrenergic α1) linked to the regulation of aqueous humour dynamics. Herein we describe the design, synthesis, and pharmacological profiling of a series of novel bicyclic and tricyclic N2‐alkyl‐indazole‐amide derivatives. This study identified a 3,4‐dihydropyrazino[1,2‐b]indazol‐1(2H)‐one derivative with potent serotonin 2A receptor antagonism, >100‐fold selectivity over other serotonin subtype receptors, and high affinity for the α1 receptor. Moreover, upon local administration, this compound showed superior ocular hypotensive action in vivo relative to the clinically used reference compound timolol. 相似文献

Monoamine oxidase (MAO) is a useful target in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases and depressive disorders. Both isoforms, MAO‐A and MAO‐B, are known to play critical roles in disease progression, and as such, the identification of novel, potent and selective inhibitors is an important research goal. Here, two series of 3‐phenylcoumarin derivatives were synthesized and evaluated against MAO‐A and MAO‐B. Most of the compounds tested acted preferentially on MAO‐B, with IC50 values in the micromolar to nanomolar range. Only 6‐chloro‐4‐hydroxy‐3‐(2’‐hydroxyphenyl)coumarin exhibited activity against the MAO‐A isoform, while still retaining good selectivity for MAO‐B. 6‐Chloro‐3‐phenylcoumarins unsubstituted at the 4 position were found to be more active as MAO‐B inhibitors than the corresponding 4‐hydroxylated coumarins. For 4‐unsubstituted coumarins, meta and para positions on the 3‐phenyl ring seem to be the most favorable for substitution. Molecular docking simulations were used to explain the observed hMAO‐B structure–activity relationships for this type of compound. 6‐Chloro‐3‐(3’‐methoxyphenyl)coumarin was the most active compound identified (IC50=0.001 μM ) and is several times more potent and selective than the reference compound, R‐(?)‐deprenyl hydrochloride. This compound represents a novel tool for the further investigation of the therapeutic potential of MAO‐B inhibitors. 相似文献

The direct organocatalytic enantioselective epoxidation of α,β‐unsaturated aldehydes with different peroxides is presented. Proline, chiral pyrrolidine derivatives, and amino acid‐derived imidazolidinones catalyze the asymmetric epoxidation of α,β‐unsaturated aldehydes. In particular, protected commercially available α,α‐diphenyl‐ and α,α‐di(β‐naphthyl)‐2‐prolinols catalyze the asymmetric epoxidation reactions of α,β‐unsaturated aldehydes with high diastereo‐ and enantioselectivities to furnish the corresponding 2‐epoxy aldehydes in high yield with up to 97:3 dr and 98 % ee. The use of non‐toxic catalysts, water and hydrogen peroxide, urea hydroperoxide or sodium percarbonate as the oxygen sources could make this reaction environmentally benign. In addition, one‐pot direct organocatalytic asymmetric tandem epoxidation‐Wittig reactions are described. The reactions were highly diastereo‐ and enantioselective and provide a rapid access to 2,4‐diepoxy aldehydes. Moreover, a highly stereoselective one‐pot organocatalytic asymmetric cascade epoxidation‐Mannich reaction, which proceeds via the combination of iminium and enamine activation, is presented. The mechanism and stereochemistry of the amino acid‐ and chiral pyrrolidine‐catalyzed direct asymmetric epoxidation of α,β‐unsaturated aldehydes are also discussed. 相似文献

Inhibition of the biosynthesis of complex N‐glycans in the Golgi apparatus influences progress of tumor growth and metastasis. Golgi α‐mannosidase II (GMII) has become a therapeutic target for drugs with anticancer activities. One critical task for successful application of GMII drugs in medical treatments is to decrease their unwanted co‐inhibition of lysosomal α‐mannosidase (LMan), a weakness of all known potent GMII inhibitors. A series of novel N‐substituted polyhydroxypyrrolidines was synthesized and tested with modeled GH38 α‐mannosidases from Drosophila melanogaster (GMIIb and LManII). The most potent structures inhibited GMIIb (Ki=50–76 μm , as determined by enzyme assays) with a significant selectivity index of IC50(LManII)/IC50(GMIIb) >100. These compounds also showed inhibitory activities in in vitro assays with cancer cell lines (leukemia, IC50=92–200 μm ) and low cytotoxic activities in normal fibroblast cell lines (IC50>200 μm ). In addition, they did not show any significant inhibitory activity toward GH47 Aspergillus saitoiα1,2‐mannosidase. An appropriate stereo configuration of hydroxymethyl and benzyl functional groups on the pyrrolidine ring of the inhibitor may lead to an inhibitor with the required selectivity for the active site of a target α‐mannosidase. 相似文献
