Design and Synthesis of a Novel Series of Bicyclic Heterocycles As Potent γ-Secretase Modulators
摘要:
The design and the synthesis of several chemical subclasses of imidazole containing gamma-secretase modulators (GSMs) is described. Conformational restriction of pyridone 4 into bicyclic pyridone isosteres has led to compounds with high in vitro and in vivo potency. This has resulted, in the identification of benzimidazole 44a as a GSM with low nanomolar potency in vitro. In mouse, rat, and dog, this compound displayed the typical gamma-secretase modulatory profile by lowering A beta 42 and A beta 40 levels combined with an especially pronounced increase in A beta 38 and A beta 37 levels while leaving the total levels of amyloid peptides unchanged.

the aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A family are commonly acknowledged as hallmarks of cancer stem cells, and their overexpression is significantly associated with poor prognosis in different types of malignancies. Accordingly, treatments targeting these enzymes may represent a successful strategy to fight cancer. In this work we describe a novel series of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines, designed as aldehyde dehydrogenase
