Structure–Activity Relationships and Blood Distribution of Antiplasmodial Aminopeptidase-1 Inhibitors
摘要:
Malaria is a severe infectious disease that causes between 655 000 and 1.2 million deaths annually. To overcome the resistance to current drugs, new biological targets are needed for drug development. Aminopeptidase M1 (PfAM1), a zinc metalloprotease, has been proposed as a new drug target to fight malaria. Herein, we disclosed the structure-activity relationships of a selective family of hydroxamate PfAM1 inhibitors based on the malonic template. In particular, we performed a "fluoro-scanning" around hit 1 that enlightened the key positions of the halogen for activity. The docking of the best inhibitor 2 is consistent with in vitro results. The stability of 2 was evaluated in microsomes, in plasma, and toward glutathione. The in vivo distribution study performed with the nanomolar hydroxamate inhibitor 2 (BDM14471) revealed that it reaches its site of action. However, it fails to kill the parasite at concentrations relevant to the enzymatic inhibitory potency, suggesting that killing the parasite remains a challenge for potent and druglike catalytic-site binding PfAM1 inhibitors. In all, this study provides important insights for the design of inhibitors of PfAM1 and the validity of this target.
Hydroxamicacids are outstanding zinc chelating groups that can be used to design potent and selective metalloenzyme inhibitors in various therapeutic areas. Some hydroxamicacids display a high plasma clearance resulting in poor in vivo activity, though they may be very potent compounds in vitro. We designed a 57-member library of hydroxamicacids to explore the structure–plasma stability relationships
display nanomolar activities against metalloproteases, only three hydroxamates have reached the market, among which is the HDAC inhibitor vorinostat. Failures in development are generally attributed to lack of selectivity, toxicity, or poor stability. To help medicinal chemists with respect to plasmastability, we have performed the first and preliminary study on structure−plasma stability for hydroxamates
A comparative study of the thermal and microwave-assisted decarboxylation of a series of mono- and disubstituted monohydrolyzed malonate derivatives has been carried out. It has been found out that in both circumstances the use of imidazole has a profound effect on the success of the reaction. In general terms the assistance of microwave irradiation accelerates the decarboxylation process significantly and, at the same time, permits the use of minored temperatures with respect to the thermal via. It has been also found that both the thermal and the microwave-assisted transformation can be developed under solvent-free conditions. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Malonic acid hydroxamate derivatives bis-substituted at the methylene group were synthesized as potential nonpeptidic inhibitors of human neutrophil collagenase (MMP8). The presence of an aromatic residue both at the C2 malonic acid position and in the C-terminal tail for hydrophobic interactions with the surface-exposed S1 binding site and the S1' pocket of the enzyme, respectively, was found to be sufficient for submicromolar inhibition potencies. For optimal insertion of the aryl amide group into the hydrophobic S1' pocket, spacing of the C-terminal phenyl group by at least a SC-chain was required. In view of these results the achiral indan-2,2-dicarboxylic acid was used to mimic the 2-benzyl-2-methylmalonic acid residue, and its derivatization to the 3-phenylpropyl amide hydroxamate produced a potent, achiral, low-mass inhibitor of MMP8 (K-i = 0.3 mu M), the binding mode of which was unambiguously determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis.
