6-Nitrobenzimidazole derivatives: Potential phosphodiesterase inhibitors: Synthesis and structure–activity relationship
摘要:
6-Nitrobenzimidazole derivatives (1-30) synthesized and their phosphodiesterase inhibitory activities determined. Out of thirty tested compounds, ten showed a varying degrees of phosphodiesterase inhibition with IC50 values between 1.5 +/- 0.043 and 294.0 +/- 16.7 mu M. Compounds 30 (IC50 = 1.5 +/- 0.043 mu M), 1 (IC50 = 2.4 +/- 0.049 mu M), 11 (IC50 = 5.7 +/- 0.113 mu M), 13 (IC50 = 6.4 +/- 0.148 mu M), 14 (IC50 = 10.5 +/- 0.51 mu M), 9 (IC50 = 11.49 +/- 0.08 mu M), 3 (IC50 = 63.1 +/- 1.48 mu M), 10 (IC50 = 120.0 +/- 4.47 mu M), and 6 (IC50 = 153.2 +/- 5.6 mu M) showed excellent phosphodiesterase inhibitory activity, much superior to the standard EDTA (IC50 = 274 +/- 0.007 mu M), and thus are potential molecules for the development of a new class of phosphodiesterase inhibitors. Astructure-activity relationship is evaluated. All compounds are characterized by spectroscopic parameters (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The Wnt signaling pathway plays a key role in organ and tissue homeostasis, and when dysregulated, can become a major underlying mechanism of disease, particularly cancer. We reported previously that the anthelmintic drug Niclosamide inhibits Wnt/beta-catenin signaling and suppresses colon cancer cell growth in vitro and in vivo. To define Niclosamide's mechanism of Wnt/beta-catenin inhibition, and to improve its selectivity and pharmacokinetic properties as an anticancer treatment, we designed a novel class of benzimidazole inhibitors of Wnt/beta-catenin signaling based on SAR studies of the Niclosamide salicylanilide chemotype. Niclosamide has multiple biological activities. To address selectivity in our design, we interrogated a protonophore SAR model and used the principle of conformational restriction to identify novel Wnt/beta-catenin inhibitors with less effect on ATP cellular homeostasis. These studies led to the identification of 4-chloro-2-(5-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-y1) phenol ((4) under bar) and related derivatives with greater selectivity for Wnt/beta-catenin signaling inhibition vs. differential effects on cellular ATP homeostasis. This is the first report that the Wnt signaling inhibitory activity of Niclosamide can be translated into a new chemical class and to show that its effects on ATP homeostasis can be separated from its inhibitory effects on Wnt signaling. These compounds could be useful tools to elucidate the mechanism of Niclosamide's inhibition of Wnt signaling, and aid the discovery of inhibitors with improved pharmacologic properties to treat cancer and diseases in which Niclosamide has important biological activity.
