The present disclosure provides macrocyclic compounds inspired by the immunophilin ligand family of natural products FK506 and rapamycin. The generation of a Rapafucin library of macrocyles that contain FK506 and rapamycin binding domains should have great potential as new leads for developing drugs to be used for treating diseases.

A series of chalcones (1-8) were prepared by Claisen-Schmidt condensation of 3-nitroacetophenone with various aldehydes. These chalcones on cyclization with hydrazine hydrate in the presence of glacial acetic acid, hydrazine hydrate in absolute ethanol and ethyl acetoacetate in the presence of barium hydroxide gave corresponding N-acetyl pyrazolines (9-16), N-unsubstituted pyrazolines (17-19) and cyclohexenone derivatives (20-22). All the synthesized compounds were evaluated for their in vitro antibacterial and antifungal activity by using broth microdilution method, and many compounds showed promising activity against various tested bacteria and fungi. Among various tested compounds, 16 and 19 exhibited strongest activities against Streptococcus pyogenes and Pseudomonas aeruginosa; both have MIC value of 25 mu g/mL, which is fourfold greater than the standard drug. Many compounds showed good activity against Candida albican. Analogs 11, 12, 15-17 and 19 displayed two- to fivefold greater activity against C. albican as compared to the standard drug. Results of antitubercular evaluation revealed that compounds 4 and 19 displayed strong antimycobacterial activity against H(37)Rv having MIC of 25 and 62.5 mu g/mL, respectively. All analogs were found to be inactive against Leishmania braziliensis except analogs 4 and 5 which exhibited strong leishmanicidal activity against Leishmania promastigotes with IC50 values of 9.3 and 8.9 mu g/mL, respectively.

In order to develop relatively small molecules as antimycobacterial agents, twenty-five chalcones were synthesized, their activity was evaluated, and quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) was developed. The synthesis was based on the Claisen-Schimdt scheme and the resultant compounds were tested for antitubercular activity by luciferase reporter phage (LRP) assay. Compound C-24 was found to be the most active (similar to 99%) in this series based on the percentage reduction in Relative Light Units at both 50 and 100 mu g/ml levels, followed by compound C-21. Four compounds at the 50 mu g/ml and eight compounds at the 100 mu g/ml showed activity above 90% level. QSAR model was developed between activity and spatial, topological, and ADME descriptors for the 50 mu g/ml data. The statistical measures such as r, r(2), q(2), and F values obtained for the training set were in acceptable range and hence this relationship was used for the test set. The predictive ability of the model is satisfactory (q(2) = 0.56) and it can be used for designing similar group of compounds. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The total synthesis and in vitro activities of a series of chemical inducers of dimerization (CIDs) is described. The use of small-molecule CIDs to control the dimerization of engineered FKBP12-containing fusion proteins has been demonstrated to have broad utility in biological research as well as potential medical applications in gene and cell therapies. The facility and flexibility of preparation make this new class of wholly synthetic compounds exceptionally versatile tools for the study of intracellular signaling events mediated by protein-protein interactions or protein localization. While some congeners possess potency comparable to or better than the first generation natural product-derived CID, FK1012, structure-activity relationships are complex and underscore the need for application-specific compound optimizations.
