Discovery of Highly Potent Benzimidazole Derivatives as Indoleamine 2,3-Dioxygenase-1 (IDO1) Inhibitors: From Structure-Based Virtual Screening to in Vivo Pharmacodynamic Activity
摘要:
In this study, a successful medicinal chemistry campaign that exploited virtual, biophysical, and biological investigations led to the identification of a novel class of IDO1 inhibitors based on a benzimidazole substructure. This family of compounds is endowed with an extensive bonding network in the protein active site, including the interaction with pocket C, a region not commonly exploited by previously reported IDO1 inhibitors. The tight packing of selected compounds within the enzyme contributes to the strong binding interaction with IDO1, to the inhibitory potency at the low nanomolar level in several tumoral settings, and to the selectivity toward IDO1 over TDO and CYPs. Notably, a significant reduction of L-Kyn levels in plasma, together with a potent effect on abrogating immunosuppressive properties of MDSC-like cells isolated from patients affected by pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, was observed, pointing to this class of molecules as a valuable template for boosting the antitumor immune system.
single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction method. The derivatives of these novel NHC precursors were effectiveinhibitors of α‐glycosidase (AG), the cytosolic carbonic anhydrase I and II isoforms (hCA I and II), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) with Ki values in the range of 1.01–2.12 nM for AG, 189.56–402.44 nM for hCA I, 112.50–277.37 nM for hCA II, 95.45–352.58 nM for AChE, and 132.91–571
间氰基苄基取代的 N-杂环卡宾 (NHC) 前体是通过一系列 N-(烷基)苯并咪唑鎓与 3-溴甲基-苄腈反应合成的。这些苯并咪唑盐通过使用 1H NMR、13C NMR、FTIR 光谱和元素分析技术进行表征。2f 和 2g 配合物的分子和晶体结构是通过使用单晶 X 射线衍射方法获得的。这些新型 NHC 前体的衍生物是 α-糖苷酶 (AG)、胞质碳酸酐酶 I 和 II 异构体(hCA I 和 II)、丁酰胆碱酯酶 (BChE) 和乙酰胆碱酯酶 (AChE) 的有效抑制剂,其 Ki 值范围为AG 为 1.01–2.12 nM,hCA I 为 189.56–402.44 nM,hCA II 为 112.50–277.37 nM,AChE 为 95.45–352.58 nM,B 为 132.91–571.18 nM。在过去的几年里,

compound, 8b, could effectively intercalate into DNA to form 8b–DNA complex which shows a better binding ability for DNA (Kb = 3.627 × 106) than the complexes 5b–7b (2.177 × 106, 8.672 × 105 and 6.665 × 105, respectively). Nuclease activity of the complexes on plasmid DNA and Aedes albopictus genomic DNA was time-dependent, although minimal. The complexes were larvicidal to the mosquito, with 5b, 6b and
合成了四种基于苯并咪唑的腈基官能化单核-Ag (I)-N-杂环卡宾和双核-Ag(I)-N-杂环卡宾(Ag(I)-NHC)六氟磷酸盐配合物(5b - 8b)使相应的六氟磷酸盐(1b – 4b)与Ag 2 O在乙腈中反应。这些化合物的特征在于1 H NMR,13 C NMR,IR,紫外可见光谱技术,元素分析和摩尔电导率。另外,通过单晶X射线衍射技术对8b进行结构表征。初步体外对所有化合物针对两种标准细菌进行了抗菌评估;革兰氏阳性(金黄色葡萄球菌)和革兰氏阴性(大肠杆菌)菌株。大多数Ag(I)–NHC复合物(5b – 8b)表现出中等至良好的抗菌活性,MIC值在12.5–100μg/ mL的范围内。特别是,化合物8b表现出有希望的抗金黄色葡萄球菌活性,且MIC值低(12.5μg/ mL)。但是,所有六氟磷酸盐(1b - 4b)对细菌菌株均无活性。初步的互动调查显示,活性最高的化合物8b能有效地插入DNA,以形成图8b

A systematic structure permeability relationship study on a set of small drug-like molecules with log D values in the range -2.5 to 3 and carrying a diverse Arran of functionality reveals that the compounds with log D>0 and <3 are highly permeable. Surprisingly. several tetrazole derivatives were found to be substrates for efflux pump(s). (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
