mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 7 (MKK7) are enzymes involved in intracellular signaling but can also contribute to tumorigenesis. We synthesized and characterized the biological activity of 1,4-naphthoquinones structurally similar to reported Cdc25 and(or) MKK7 inhibitors with anticancer activity. Compound 7 (3-[(1,4-dioxonaphthalen-2-yl)sulfanyl]propanoic acid) exhibited high binding affinity for
细胞分裂周期25(Cdc25)和有丝分裂原激活的蛋白激酶激酶7(MKK7)是参与细胞内信号传导的酶,但也可能有助于肿瘤发生。我们合成并表征了与报道的具有抗癌活性的Cdc25和/或MKK7抑制剂在结构上相似的1,4-萘醌的生物活性。化合物7(3-[((1,4-二氧萘并萘-2-基)硫烷基]丙酸)对MKK7的结合亲和力高(Kd = 230 nM),大于NSC 95397的亲和力(Kd = 1.1μM) 。尽管铅皮蛋黄素对MKK7的结合亲和力较低,但该化合物和含硫衍生物4和6-8是Cdc25A和Cdc25B的有效抑制剂。相对于MKK4和Cdc25 A / B,含有苯氨基侧链的衍生物22e具有选择性,而其异构体22f是Cdc25 A / B的选择性抑制剂。对几种萘醌的对接研究突出了有关分子取向和氢键相互作用的有趣方面,这可能有助于解释该化合物对MKK7和Cdc25B的活性。还筛选了最有效的基于萘醌的MKK7和/或Cdc25

The present invention relates to the design, synthesis and biological evaluation of potent long-acting gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogs including agonists and antagonists comprising a GnRH peptide conjugated to emodic acid or an emodic acid derivative. These long acting analogs bind to GnRH receptors with high affinity and are devoid of any toxicity or antiproliferative effects. The present invention further relates to therapeutic uses of these GnRII analogs as contraceptives, in controlling fertility and in treating and/or preventing sex-hormone dependent diseases or conditions.
The design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist, [D-Lys(6)(1,3,8-trihydroxy-6-carboxyanthraquinone)]GnRH ([D-Lys(6)(Emo)]GnRH), is described. Synthesis of this analogue was carried out in a homogeneous solution as well as on a polymer support. [D-Lys(6)(Emo)]GnRH was found to bind to rat pituitary GnRH receptors (IC50 = 0.25 nM), to induce luteinizing hormone (LH) release (ED50 = 27 pM), and to be devoid of any toxicity. This analogue also proved to be a very potent agonist in vivo and exhibited a prolonged bioactivity. Six hours after its administration to rats, LH levels were substantially higher than those of rats treated with a 10-fold higher dose of the parent peptide. Moreover, chronic treatment of adult male rats with [D-Lys(6)(Emo)]GnRH (0.1 nmol/rat) for one week resulted in a further decrease of the weight of the testes and prostate as compared to those of rats that were treated with a higher dose of [D-Lys] GnRH (1 nmol/rat). The prolonged activity of [D-Lys(6)(Emo)]GnRH may be attributed to its emodic acid moiety, which enhances the binding affinity of the analogue to human serum albumin. Indeed, we found that emodic. acid binds to human serum albumin almost completely at the examined range of concentrations.

The present invention provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising substituted 1,4 naphthoquinones that are effective in preventing oligomerization of beta amyloid and subsequent pathologies associated with amyloid fibrils. These compositions are useful for the treatment of disease involving amyloidogenesis including neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's Disease or senile dementia. Particularly effective compositions comprise 1,4 naphthoquinones substituted with an amino acid residue selected from a heterocyclic or aromatic amino acid.
