Design and synthesis of 4-amino-2-phenylquinazolines as novel topoisomerase I inhibitors with molecular modeling
摘要:
4-Amino-2-phenylquinazolines 7 were designed as bioisosteres of 3-arylisoquinolinamines 6 that were energy minimized to provide stable conformers. Interestingly, the 2-phenyl ring of 4-amino-2-phenylquinazolines was parallel to the quinazoline ring and improved their DNA intercalation ability in the DNA-topo I complex. Among the synthesized 4-amino group-substituted analogs, 4-cyclohexylamino-2-phenylquinazoline 7h exhibited potent topo I inhibitory activity and strong cytotoxicity. Interestingly, consistency was observed between the cytotoxicities and topo I activities in these quinazoline analogs, suggesting that the target of 4-amino-2-phenylquinazolines is limited to topo I. Molecular docking studies were performed with the Surflex-Dock program to afford the ideal interaction mode of the compound into the binding site of the DNA-topo I complex in order to clarify the topo I activity of 7h.

The present invention relates to novel quinazoline derivatives effective in lowering blood glucose level and body weight, and a medicine for treatment and/or prevention of diabetes and/or obesity, which comprises the compound as an active ingredient.
Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) are thought to arise from aggregation of a protease resistant protein denoted PrPSc, which is a misfolded isoform of the normal cellular prion protein PrPC. Using virtual high-throughput screening we have selected structures analogous to acridine, 2-methyquinoline and 2-phenylquinazoline as potential therapeutic candidates for the treatment of TSEs. From the synthesis and screening of constructed libraries we have shown that an electron-rich aromatic ring attached through an amine linker to the position para to the ring nitrogen is beneficial to both binding to PrPC and the suppression of PrPSc accumulation for acridine and 2-methylquinoline analogues. 2-Phenylquinazoline analogues appear to utilise a different mode of action by binding at a different location and/or pose. We report IC(50)s in the nanomolar range. (c) 2006 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.

Moderate cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase (cGMP-PDE, PDE V) inhibitor 2-phenyl-4-anilino-quinazoline (1) was identified utilizing MultiCASE assisted drug design (MCADD) technology. Modification of compound 1 was conducted at the 2-, 4-, and 6-positions of the quinazoline ring for enhancement of cGMP-PDE inhibitory activity. The 6-substituted 2-(imidazol-1-yl)-quinazolines are 1000 times more potent in in vitro PDE V enzyme assay than the well-known inhibitor zaprinast. The 6-substituted derivatives of 2-(3-pyridyl)quinazoline 84 and 2-(imidazol-1-yl)quinazoline 86 exhibited more than 1000-fold selectivity for PDE V over the other four PDE isozymes. In addition, cGMP-PDE inhibitors 64, 65, and 73 were found to have an additional property of thromboxane synthesis inhibitory activity.
