Discovery and SAR studies of methionine–proline anilides as dengue virus NS2B-NS3 protease inhibitors
摘要:
A series of methionine-proline dipeptide derivatives and their analogues were designed, synthesized and assayed against the serotype 2 dengue virus NS2B-NS3 protease, and methionine-proline anilides 1 and 2 were found to be the most active DENV 2 NS2B-NS3 competitive inhibitors with K-i values of 4.9 and 10.5 mu M. The structure and activity relationship and the molecular docking revealed that L-proline, L-methionine and p-nitroaniline in 1 and 2 are the important characters in blocking the active site of NS2B-NS3 protease. Our current results suggest that the title dipeptidic scaffold represents a promising structural core to discover a new class of active NS2B-NS3 competitive inhibitors. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

The synthesis and structure-activity relationships of ureas as CCR3 antagonists are described. Optimization starting with lead compound 2 (IC50 = 190 nM) derived from initial screening hit compound 1 (IC50 = 600 nM) led to the identification of (S)-N-((1R,3S,5S)-8-((6-fluoronaphthalen-2-yl)methyl)-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-3-yl)-N-(2-nitrophenyl)pyrrolidine-1,2-dicarboxamide 27 (IC50 = 4.9 nM) as a potent CCR3 antagonist.
