Synthesis and evaluation of human phosphodiesterases (PDE) 5 inhibitor analogs as trypanosomal PDE inhibitors. Part 1. Sildenafil analogs
摘要:
Parasitic diseases, such as African sleeping sickness, have a significant impact on the health and wellbeing in the poorest regions of the world. Pragmatic drug discovery efforts are needed to find new therapeutic agents. In this Letter we describe target repurposing efforts focused on trypanosomal phosphodiesterases. We outline the synthesis and biological evaluation of analogs of sildenafil (1), a human PDE5 inhibitor, for activities against trypanosomal PDEB1 (TbrPDEB1). We find that, while low potency analogs can be prepared, this chemical class is a sub-optimal starting point for further development of TbrPDE inhibitors. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Novel 6-N-arylcarboxamidopyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidin-7-one derivatives as potential anti-cancer agents
摘要:
A novel series of 3,5,6-trisubstituted pyrazolo[4,3-d] pyrimidin-7-one derivatives, especially 6-N-arylcarboxamidopyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidin-7-ones were synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro anticancer activities against various human cancer cell lines. The inhibitory activities for several kinases have also been tested. The prepared compounds library exhibited significant anticancer activity towards HT-29 colon and DU-145 prostate cancer cell lines. The structure-activity relationships of the 6-N-arylcarboxamidopyrazolo[4,3-d] pyrimidin-7-one scaffold at R-1, R-2 and R-3 have been elucidated. Among the synthesized compounds, 12b was the most active compound with GI(50) value of 0.44 mu M and 1.07 mu M against HT-29 and DU-145 cell lines, respectively, and 13a was the most selective compound towards colon cancer cell line.
