Identification of new aminoacid amides containing the imidazo[2,1-b]benzothiazol-2-ylphenyl moiety as inhibitors of tumorigenesis by oncogenic Met signaling
摘要:
The Met receptor tyrosine kinase is a promising target in anticancer therapies for its role during tumor evolution and resistance to treatment. It is characterized by an unusual structural plasticity as its active site accepts different inhibitor binding modes. Such feature can be exploited to identify distinct agents targeting tumor dependence and/or resistance by oncogenic Met. Here we report the identification of bioactive agents, featuring a new 4-(imidazo[2,1-b]benzothiazol-2-yl)phenyl moiety, targeting cancer cells dependent on oncogenic Met. One of these compounds (7c; Triflorcas) impairs survival, anchorage-independent growth, and in vivo tumorigenesis, without showing side effects. Our medicinal chemistry strategy was based on an in-house Met-focused library of aminoacid-amide derivatives enriched through structure-based computer modeling, taking into account the Met multiple-binding-mode feature. Altogether, our findings show how a rational structure-based drug design approach coupled to cell-based drug evaluation strategies can be applied in medicinal chemistry to identify new agents targeting a given oncogenic-dependency setting.

Discovery of cycloalkyl-fused N-thiazol-2-yl-benzamides as tissue non-specific glucokinase activators: Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation
摘要:
Glucokinase (GK) activators are being developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, existing GK activators have risks of hypoglycemia caused by over-activation of GK in islet cells and dyslipidemia caused by over-activation of intrahepatic GK. In the effort to mitigate risks of hypoglycemia and dyslipidemia while maintaining the promising efficacy of GK activator, we investigated a series of cycloalkyl-fused N-thiazol-2-yl-benzamides as tissue non-specific partial GK activators, which led to the identification of compound 72 that showed a good balance between in vitro potency and enzyme kinetic parameters, and protected beta-cells from streptozotocin-induced apoptosis. Chronic treatment of compound 72 demonstrated its potent activity in regulation of glucose homeostasis and low risk of dyslipidemia with diabetic db/db mice in oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Moreover, acute treatment of compound 72 did not induce hypoglycemia in C57BL/6J mice even at 200 mg/kg via oral administration. (C) 2017 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
Background. Glucocorticoidexcess has been linked to clinical observations associated with the pathophysiology of metabolic syndrome. The intracellular glucocorticoidlevels are primarily modulated by 11β-hydroxysteroiddehydrogenasetype1 (11β-HSD1) enzyme that is highly expressed in key metabolic tissues including fat, liver, and the central nervous system. Methods. In this study we synthesized

RuCl3/NaIO4-initiated oxidation of oxiranemethanols was investigated, and two products, oxirane-2-carboxylic acid and (5'-oxotetrahydrofuran-3-yl)acetic acid, were obtained in variant ratios. The product structures were determined and a tentative mechanism involving oxidation-rearrangement-oxidation process was proposed. Glucokinase enzymatic assay revealed that oxiranecarboxamides 4a-c retained moderate GK activation potency with amide 4a showing an EC50 value of 584 nM and a high activation fold of 3.14. However, (5'-oxotetrahydrofuran-3-yl)acetamide ha is inactive. This study not only provided an alternative protocol to access (5'-oxotetrahydrofuran-3-yl)acetic acid analogs, but also yielded nanomolar GA activators (esp. 4a) for further structure-activity relationship study.
