Convergent Synthesis of a Complex Oxime Library Using Chemical Domain Shuffling
摘要:
yThe synthesis of a complex hybrid oxime library is reported utilizing convergent ligation of alkoxyamine and carbonyl monomers via "chemical domain shuffling". Initial biological screening of the library against human small cell lung carcinoma (A549) cells led to the identification of a novel hybrid dimer in contrast to the corresponding monomeric compounds which were found to be inactive.

chalcone derivatives and by examining the structure-activity relationships on the inhibition of rat lens aldosereductase as well as on antioxidant effects. A series of 35 flavonoid derivatives were synthesized by Winget's condensation, oxidation, and reduction of appropriate acetophenones with appropriate benzaldehydes. The inhibitoryactivity of these derivatives on rat lens aldosereductase and their

GPR54 is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) which was formerly an orphan receptor. Recent functional study of GPR54 revealed that the receptor has an essential role to modulate sex-hormones including GnRH. Though antagonists of GPR54 are expected to be novel drugs for sex-hormone dependent diseases such as prostate cancer or endometriosis, small molecule GPR54 antagonists have not been reported. We have synthesized a series of 2-acylamino-4,6-diphenylpyridines to identify potent GPR54 antagonists. Detailed structure-activity relationship studies led to compound 9l with an IC50 value of 3.7 nM in a GPR54 binding assay, and apparent antagonistic activity in a cellular functional assay.

A novel series of clioquinol-moracin hybrids were designed and synthesized by fusing the pharmacophores of clioquinol and moracin M, and their activities as multitarget-directed ligands against Alzheimer's disease were evaluated. Biological activity results demonstrated that these hybrids possessed significant inhibitory activities against phosphodiesterase 4D (PDE4D) and A beta aggregation as well as remarkable antioxidant effects and excellent blood brain barrier permeability. The optimal compound, 18d (WBQ5187), exhibited excellent PDE4D inhibitory potency (IC50 = 0.32 mu M), significant antioxidant effects, appropriate biometal chelating functions, and interesting properties that modulated self- and metal-induced A beta aggregation. Two-dimensional NMR studies revealed that 18d had significant interactions with A beta(1-42) at the R5, H6, H14, Q15, and F20 residues. Furthermore, this typical hybrid possessed preeminent neuroprotective effects against inflammation in microglial cells. Most importantly, oral administration of 18d center dot HCl demonstrated marked improvements in cognitive and spatial memory in a rat model of Alzheimer's disease and protected hippocampal neurons from necrosis.
