Triazole-linked reduced amide isosteres: An approach for the fragment-based drug discovery of anti-Alzheimer’s BACE1 inhibitors
摘要:
In the course of a beta-site APP-cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1) inhibitor discovery project an in situ synthesis/screening protocol was employed to prepare 120 triazole-linked reduced amide isostere inhibitors. Among these compounds, four showed modest (single digit micromolar) BACE1 inhibition. Our ligand design was based on a potent reduced amide isostere 1, wherein the P(2) amide moiety was replaced with an anti-1,2,3-triazole unit. Unfortunately, this replacement resulted in a 1000-fold decrease in potency. Docking studies of triazole-linked reduced amide isostere A3Z10 and potent oxadiazole-linked tertiary carbinamine 2a with BACE1 suggests that the docking poses of A3Z10 and 2a in the active sites are quite similar, with one exception. In the docked structures the placement of the protonated amine that engages D228 differs considerably between 2a and A3Z10. This difference could account for the lower BACE1 inhibition potency of A3Z10 and related compounds relative to 2a. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A method is described for the preparation of novel alkylamides of carboxyalkanoyl peptides of the formula ##STR1## wherein R is an aralky or an alkyl group of 1-5 carbon atoms, A is a residue of peptidically bound proline or alanine, B is a straight bond or a residue of peptidically bound proline or alanine and X is a CH.dbd.CH group or a methylene group of 1-3 carbon atoms. The described compounds are capable of inhibiting elastase.
Synthesis of polysubstituted enamides via metal-catalyzed hydrogen atom transfer by merger of cobalt/photoredox catalysis was achieved. The judicious choice of Co(3-tert-butyl-5-CF3-salophen) and Co(3,5-di-tert-butylsalophen) enabled access to polysubstituted enamides. The method tolerated haloarenes, heteroarenes, free hydroxy groups, non-protected indoles, and drug-like molecules. Furthermore, this

(R)-Configured isophthalic hydroxyethylamines play an important role in the inhibition of beta-secretase (BACE1). We present the synthesis of a number of (S)-configured hydroxyethylamine derivatives via 2-iodoethanol intermediates and the comparison with the (R)-analogues. An N-substituted indole was investigated as a substitute for the isophthalamide moiety. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A novel class of 2-amido-3-hydroxypyridin-4-one iron chelators is described. These compounds have been designed to behave as suitable molecular probes which will improve our knowledge of the role of iron in neurodegenerative conditions. Neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson disease (PD), can be considered as diverse pathological conditions sharing critical metabolic processes such as protein aggregation and oxidative stress. Interestingly, both these metabolic alterations seem to be associated with the involvement of metal ions, including iron. Iron chelation is therefore a potential therapeutic approach. The physico-chemical (pK(a) pFe(3+) and log P) and biological properties (inhibition of iron-containing enzymes) of these chelators have been investigated in order to obtain a suitable profile for the treatment of neurodegenerative conditions. Studies with neuronal cell cultures confirm that the new iron chelators are neuroprotective against beta-amyloid-induced toxicity. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
