Chalcones as Novel Non-peptidic μ-Calpain Inhibitors
摘要:
为了扩展非肽类钙蛋白酶抑制剂的支架,我们设计并合成了14种查耳酮衍生物,根据其结构分为两类。化合物 7 ($IC_{50}=16.67{\pm}0.42{\mu}M$) 和 8 ($IC_{50}=16.92{\pm}0.14{\mu A 组中的 }M$) 是比组织蛋白酶 B 和 L 最具选择性的 ${\mu}$-钙蛋白酶抑制剂。 另一方面,具有呋喃环的化合物 14 对${\mu}$-钙蛋白酶 ($IC_{50}=15.39{\pm}1.34{\mu}M$) 以及组织蛋白酶 B ($IC_{50}=20.59{\pm}1.35{\mu}M$)。研究结果表明,具有适当大小和官能团的查尔酮类似物可以成为选择性非肽${\mu}$-钙蛋白酶抑制剂的潜在先导核心。此外,${\mu}$-calpain 和组织蛋白酶 B 的双重抑制剂也可以通过精细的结构操作从查耳酮中开发出来。
Neuroprotective effect of synthetic chalcone derivatives as competitive dual inhibitors against μ-calpain and cathepsin B through the downregulation of tau phosphorylation and insoluble Aβ peptide formation
A series of chalconederivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their μ-calpain and cathepsinB inhibitory activities. Among the tested chalconederivatives, two compounds, 7 and 11, showed potent inhibitory activities against μ-calpain and cathepsinB and were selected for further evaluation. Compounds 7 and 11 showed enzyme inhibitory activities at the cellular level and displayed neuroprotective
In order to diversify the pharmacological activity of chalcones and extend the scaffold of topoisomerase and cathepsins B and L inhibitors, we have designed and synthesized total 18 chalcone compounds and tested their biological activity. In the topoisomerase inhibition test, most analogues in group III and IV except compound 11 exhibited more efficient topoisomerase I inhibitory activity than camptothecin at 20 lM. Compounds 15, 16 and 18 in group IV showed significant cathepsin B and L inhibitory activity. Among the compounds, compound 15 was most active with IC50 values of 1.81 +/- 0.05 mu M on cathepsin B and 3.15 +/- 0.07 mu M on cathepsin L, respectively. Compound 15 also showed most potent cytotoxic activity against T47D and SNU638 cells with IC50 values of 1.37 +/- 0.05 mu M and 0.62 +/- 0.01 mu M, respectively. Overall, although more compounds should be tested and analyzed for clear SAR against topoisomerase I and cathepsin B and L, compound 15 showed consistent inhibitory ability on the tested assays, which can implicate the cytotoxic activity of compound 15 on topoisomerase I and cathepsin B and L inhibitory pathways.
