Design, Synthesis, and Biological Activities of Closantel Analogues: Structural Promiscuity and Its Impact on Onchocerca volvulus
摘要:
Onchocerciasis, or river blindness, is a neglected tropical disease that affects more than 37 million people worldwide, primarily in Africa and Central and South America. We have disclosed evidence that the larval-stage-specific chitinase, OvCHT1, may be a potential biological target for affecting nematode development. On the basis of screening efforts, closantel, a known anthelmintic drug, was discovered as a potent and highly specific OvCHT1 inhibitor. Originally, closantel's anthelmintic mode of action was believed to rely solely on its role as a proton ionophore; thus, the impact of each of its biological activities on O. volvulus L3 molting was investigated. Structure activity relationship studies on an active closantel fragment are detailed, and remarkably, by use of a simple salicylanilide scaffold, compounds acting only as protonophores or chitinase inhibitors were identified. From these data, unexpected synergistic protonophore and chitinase inhibition activities have also been found to be critical for molting in O. volvulus L3 larvae.
Relationships Between the Chemical Structure of Antimycobacterial Substances and Their Activity Against Atypical Strains. Part 14: 3-Aryl-6,8-dihalogeno-2H-1,3-benzoxazine-2,4(3H)-diones
6,8‐dibromo‐3‐phenyl‐2H‐1,3‐benzoxazine‐2,4(3H)‐dione, substituted on the phenyl ring, was prepared by the reaction of the corresponding salicylanilides with ethyl chloroformate. The compounds were evaluated in vitro for antimycobacterialactivity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycobacterium kansasii, and Mycobacterium avium. Their activity increases with increasing hydrophobicity and electron‐withdrawing

A new class of inhibitors of the two-component regulatory systems (TCS) of bacteria was discovered based on the salicylanilide screening hits, closantel (1) and tetrachlorosalicylanilide (9). A systematic SAR study versus a model TCS, KinA/Spo0F, demonstrated the importance of electron-attracting substituents in the salicyloyl ring and hydrophobic groups in the anilide moiety for optimal activity.

The present invention relates to active delivery system formulations, and methods of making and using the same. Said formulations, when applied to a substrate surface, form a protective coating on the surface and permit constituent active agents to act on the surface and in the surrounding medium.
It is disclosed that a dentifrice which includes a surfactant and an anti-plaque agent comprising a substantially water--insoluble non-cationic antimicrobial agent or a zinc salt or a mixture thereof has enhanced activity when the dentifrice comprises at least 0.2% by weight of a lamellar liquid crystal surfactant phase having a lamellar spacing of less than 6.0 nm.
A method for effecting oncolysis, regression, and control of malignant neoplasms in humans and other mammals without adverse effects on normal body cells is described. An ATP-availability depressor may be combined with a defined nutritional regimen, a fatty acid blocker, an amino acid blocker, a lactate export blocker, or any combination thereof.
