CytochromeP450 1B1 (CYP1B1) is a potential drug target in cancer research that is overexpressed in several solid tumors but is present only at low levels in healthy tissues. Its expression is associated with resistance to common chemotherapeutics, while inhibitors restore efficacy to these drugs in model systems. The majority of CYP1B1 inhibitors are derived from a limited number of scaffolds, and
Neutrophils have an important role in the self-defense systems of organisms through the production of superoxide. On the other hand, it has been proposed that abnormal amounts of superoxide produced by neutrophils are a serious factor in tissue injury. A series of novel thiazole derivatives was prepared and evaluated inhibitory effect on superoxide production by human neutrophils in vitro. Among these compounds, 6-[2-(3,4-diethoxyphenyl)thiazol-4-yl]-pyridine-2-carboxylic acid (OPC-6535) was selected as one of the most promising compounds. The synthesis and structure-activity relationships of these compounds are reported herein.

Inhibitors of hepatitis C virus NS3 serine protease often incorporate a large P2 moiety to interact with the surface of the enzyme while shielding part of the catalytic triad. This feature is important in many inhibitors in order to have the necessary potency needed for efficacy. In this Letter we explore some new P2 motifs to further exploit this region of the enzyme. In a continuing effort to replace the often found 4-hydroxyproline P2 core found in the majority of inhibitors for this target, various directly attached aryl derivatives were evaluated. Of these, the 2,4-disubstituted thiazole core proved to be the most interesting. SAR around this motif has lead to compounds with K-i's in the high picomolar range and provided cellular potencies in the single digit nM range. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
