Design, synthesis, and evaluation of novel 4-thiazolylimidazoles as inhibitors of transforming growth factor-β type I receptor kinase
摘要:
A novel series of 4-thiazolylimidazoles was synthesized as transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) type I receptor (also known as activin receptor-like kinase 5 or ALK5) inhibitors. These compounds were evaluated for their ALK5 inhibitory activity in an enzyme assay and their TGF-beta-induced Smad2/3 phosphorylation inhibitory activity in a cell-based assay. N-{[5-(1,3-benzothiazol-6-yl)-4-(4-methyl-1, 3-thiazol-2-yl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl]methyl}butanamide 20, a potent and selective ALK5 inhibitor, exhibited good enzyme inhibitory activity (IC50 = 8.2 nM) as well as inhibitory activity against TGF-beta-induced Smad2/3 phosphorylation at a cellular level (IC50 = 32 nM).

Optimization of Novel 1-Methyl-1H-Pyrazole-5-carboxamides Leads to High Potency Larval Development Inhibitors of the Barber’s Pole Worm
摘要:
A phenotypic screen of a diverse library of small molecules for inhibition of the development of larvae of the parasitic nematode Haemonchus contortus led to the identification of a 1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxamide derivative with an IC50 of 0.29 mu M. Medicinal chemistry optimization targeted modifications on the left-hand side (LHS), middle section, and right-hand side (RHS) of the scaffold in order to elucidate the structure-activity relationship (SAR). Strong SAR allowed for the iterative and directed assembly of a focus set of 64 analogues, from which compound 60 was identified as the most potent compound, inhibiting the development of the fourth larval (L4) stage with an IC50 of 0.01 mu M. In contrast, only 18% inhibition of the mammary epithelial cell line MCF10A viability was observed, even at concentrations as high as 50 mu M.

Azacyclohexane derivatives of structural formula I are selective inhibitors of stearoyl-coenzyme A delta-9 desaturase (SCD1) relative to other known stearoyl-coenzyme A desaturases. The compounds of the present invention are useful for the prevention and treatment of conditions related to abnormal lipid synthesis and metabolism, including cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis; obesity; diabetes; neurological disease; metabolic syndrome; insulin resistance; and liver steatosis.

We have prepared 23 new dehydroartemisinin (DART) trioxane derivatives (11 thiazoles, 2 oxadiazoles, and 10 carboxamides) and have screened them for in vitro activity in the Toxoplasma lytic cycle. Fifteen (65%) of the derivatives were noncytotoxic to host cells (TD50 >= 320 mu M). Eight thiazole derivatives and two carboxamide derivatives displayed effective inhibition of Toxoplasma growth (IC50 = 0.25-0.42 mu M), comparable in potency to artemether (IC50 = 0.31 mu M) and > 100 times more inhibitory than the currently employed front-line drug trimethoprim (IC50 = 46 mu M). The thiazoles as a group were more effective than the other derivatives at inhibiting growth of extracellular as well as intracellular parasites. Unexpectedly, two thiazole trioxanes (5 and 6) were parasiticidal; both inhibited parasite replication irreversibly after parasite exposure to 10 mu M of drug for 24 h, whereas the standard trioxane drugs artemisinin and artemether were not parasiticidal. Some of the new derivatives of artemisinin described here represent effective anti-Toxoplasma trioxanes as well as molecular probes for elucidating the mechanism of action of the DART class of artemisinin derivatives.
