A Comparison of Structure−Activity Relationships between Spermidine and Spermine Analogue Antineoplastics
摘要:
A systematic investigation of the impact of spermidine analogues both in vitro and in vivo is described. The study characterizes the effects of these analogues on L1210 cell growth, polyamine pools, ornithine decarboxylase, S-adenosyl-L-methionine decarboxylase, spermidine/spermine N-1-acetyltransferase, the maintenance of cellular charge, i.e., cationic equivalence associated with the polyamines and their analogues, and compares their ability to compete with spermidine for transport. The findings clearly demonstrate that the activity of-the linear polyamine analogues is highly dependent on the length of the triamines and the size of the N-alpha,N-omega-substituents. It appears that there is an optimum chain length for various activities and that the larger the N-alpha,N-omega-alkyls, the less active the compound. Metabolic transformation including N-dealkylation of these compounds is also evaluated. While there is no monotonic relationship between chain length and the ability of the analogue to be metabolized, the dipropyl triamines are clearly more actively catabolized than the corresponding methyl and ethyl systems. A comparison of the triamines with the corresponding tetraamines is made throughout the text regarding both in vitro activity against L1210 cells and in vivo toxicity measurements, suggesting that several triamine analogues may offer therapeutic advantages over the corresponding tetraamines.
Triphenylbutanamines: Kinesin Spindle Protein Inhibitors with in Vivo Antitumor Activity
摘要:
The human mitotic kinesin Eg5 represents a novel mitotic spindle target for cancer chemotherapy. We previously identified S-trityl-L-cysteine (STLC) and related analogues as selective potent inhibitors of Eg5. We herein report on the development of a series of 4,4,4-triphenylbutan-1-amine inhibitors derived from the STLC scaffold. This new generation systematically improves on potency: the most potent C-trityl analogues exhibit K-i(aPP) <= 10 nM and GI(50) approximate to 50 nM, comparable to results from the phase II clinical benchmark ispinesib. Crystallographic studies reveal that they adopt the same overall binding configuration as S-trityl analogues at an allosteric site formed by loop L5 of Eg5. Evaluation of their druglike properties reveals favorable profiles for future development and, in the clinical candidate ispinesib, moderate hERG and CYP inhibition. One triphenylbutanamine analogue and ispinesib possess very good bioavailability (51% and 45%, respectively), with the former showing in vivo antitumor growth activity in nude mice xenograft studies.

at sst4. The 1,2,4-triazoles containing an aminopropyl group at position-4 showed enhanced binding affinity compared to the 3-position. One compound with an 3-(imidazol-4-yl)propyl group at position-4 (compound 44) imparted high affinity and selectivity at sst4 (sst2A = >10 000 nM; sst4 = 19 nM), acting as an agonist (EC50 = 6.8 nM). Docking 44 into a model-built structure of sst4 pointed to differences
A new chiral bicyclic guanidine-catalyzed direct catalytic aldolreaction of 5H-oxazol-4-ones with aldehydes has been developed. The present aldolreaction proceeds smoothly with high enantioselectivity using bicyclic guanidines bearing a hydroxy group at the appropriate position, and various combinations of 5H-oxazol-4-ones and aldehydes are applicable. The method provides synthetically useful alpha

Orthogonally protected polyamines (PAs) have been synthesized using α,ω-diamines and ω-aminoalcohols as N-Cx-N and N-Cy synthons, respectively, and the Mitsunobu reaction as the key reaction for the assembly of the PA skeleta. The Trt, Dde, and Phth groups have been employed for protecting the primary amino functions and the Ns group for activating the primary amino functions toward alkylation and

inhibitors of the enzyme can be designed and synthesised with the aim of being developed into novel anti-parasitic drugs. Analogue based design was used to target the PlasmodiumfalciparumdUTPase (PfdUTPase). The structures of previously discovered selective inhibitors of the PfdUTPase were modified by insertion of an amide bond. A series of tritylated uracil acetamide derivatives were synthesised
