We have prepared a series of cathepsin K inhibitors bearing the keto-1,3,4-oxadiazole warhead capable of forming a hemithioketal complex with the target enzyme. By modifying binding moieties at the P-1, P-2, and prime side positions of the inhibitors, we have achieved selectivity over cathepsins B, L, and S, and have achieved sub-nanomolar potency against cathepsin K. This series thus represents a promising chemotype that could be used in diseases implicated by imbalances in cathepsin K activity such as osteoporosis. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Discovery and Biophysical Characterization of 2-Amino-oxadiazoles as Novel Antagonists of PqsR, an Important Regulator of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Virulence
摘要:
The human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa employs alkyl quinolones for cell-to-cell communication. The Pseudomonas quinolone signal (PQS) regulates various virulence factors via interaction with the transcriptional regulator PqsR. Therefore, we consider the development of PqsR antagonists a novel strategy to limit the pathogenicity of P. aeruginosa. A fragment identification approach using surface plasmon resonance screening led to the discovery of chemically diverse PqsR ligands. The optimization of the most promising hit (5) resulted in the oxadiazole-2-amine 37 showing pure antagonistic activity in Escherichia coli (EC50 = 7.5 mu M) and P. aeruginosa (EC50 = 38.5 mu M) reporter gene assays. 37 was able to diminish the production of the PQS precursor HHQ in a PqsH-deficient P. aeruginosa mutant The level of the major virulence factor pyocyanin was significantly reduced in wild-type P. aeruginosa. In addition, site-directed mutagenesis in combination with isothermal titration calorimetry and NMR INPHARMA experiments revealed that the identified ligands bind to the same site of PqsR by adopting different binding modes. These findings will be utilized in a future fragment growing approach aiming at novel therapeutic options for the treatment of P. aeruginosa infections.

Microwave promoted one-pot synthesis of 2-aryl substituted 1,3,4-oxadiazoles and 1,2,4-oxadiazole derivatives using Al3+-K10 clay as a heterogeneous catalyst
An efficient, inexpensive method is developed for the one-potsynthesis of 2-aryl substituted 1,3,4-oxadiazoles and 1,2,4-oxadiazoles starting from acid hydrazides and trimethyl orthoformate under solvent-free, microwave conditions using a reusable Al3+-K10 montmorillonite clay as a heterogeneous catalyst. The novelty of the present study lies in the synthesis of oxadiazole and benzimidazole moieties

Biaryl ketoamide derivatives, which are useful as cathepsin K inhibitors are described herein. The described invention also includes methods of making such biaryl ketoamide derivatives as well as methods of using the same in the treatment of disorders, including osteoporosis, associated with enhanced bone turnover which can ultimately lead to fracture.
