Discovery of Dual Death-Associated Protein Related Apoptosis Inducing Protein Kinase 1 and 2 Inhibitors by a Scaffold Hopping Approach
摘要:
DRAK2 emerged as a promising drug target for the treatment of autoimmune diseases and to prevent graft rejection after organ transplantation. Screening of a compound library in a DRAK2 binding assay led to the identification of an isothiazolo[5,4-b]pyridine derivative as a novel ligand for DRAK2, displaying a K-d value of 1.6 mu M. Subsequent medicinal chemistry work led to the discovery of a thieno[2,3-b]pyridine derivative with strong DRAK2 binding affinity (K-d = 9 nM). Moreover, this compound also behaves as a functional inhibitor of DRAK2 enzymatic activity, displaying an IC50 value of 0.82 mu M, although lacking selectivity, when tested against DRAK1. This paper describes for the first time functionally active dual DRAK1 and DRAK2 inhibitors that can be used as starting point for the synthesis of chemical tool compounds to study DRAK1 and DRAK2 biology, or they can be considered as hit compounds for hit-to-lead optimization campaigns in drug discovery programs.
commercial herbicide with very low toxicity against mammals, it is worth exploring its derivatives for an extensive study. Herein, a total of 35 novel compounds were chemically synthesized and single crystal of 6–6 was obtained to confirm the molecularstructure of this family of compounds. The novel PTB derivatives were fully evaluated against various biological platforms. From the bioassay results

In this report we describe a simple synthesis of mercaptobenzonitriles from the reaction of fluorobenzonitriles with Na2S in DMF at room temperature and following direct treatment with Zn/HCl. Significantly, 2- and 4-fluorobenzonitriles substituted with chlorine or bromine, from the reaction of but not iodine, undergo selective substitution of fluorine at room temperature to yield synthetically useful halo-substituted mercaptobenzonitriles.

explored molecular docking and a three-dimensional quantitativestructure-activityrelationship (3D-QSAR) model of 107 xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) inhibitors containing a phenyl-substituted five-membered heterocycle. Molecular-docking results showed that Arg880, Phe914, and Phe1009 might be potential active residues targeted by the 107 XOR inhibitors evaluated in this study. Topomer comparative molecular
