The recently discovered enzyme tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 2 (TDP2) has been implicated in the topoisomerase-mediated repair of DNA damage. In the clinical setting, it has been hypothesized that TDP2 may mediate drug resistance to topoisomerase II (topo II) inhibition by etoposide. Therefore, selective pharmacological inhibition of TDP2 is proposed as a novel approach to overcome intrinsic or acquired resistance to topo II-targeted drug therapy. Following a high-throughput screening (HTS) campaign, toxoflavins and deazaflavins were identified as the first reported sub-micromolar and selective inhibitors of this enzyme. Toxoflavin derivatives appeared to exhibit a clear structure-activity relationship (SAP.) for TDP2 enzymatic inhibition. However, we observed a key redox liability of this series, and this, alongside early in vitro drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK) issues, precluded further exploration. The deazaflavins were developed from a singleton HTS hit. This series showed distinct SAR and did not display redox activity; however low cell permeability proved to be a challenge.

The invention is directed to inhibitors of cystathionine beta synthase which, among other biochemical effects, allow reduction of the neurotoxic overproduction of endogenous hydrogen sulphide. These compounds and pharmaceutical compositions containing them are useful for the prevention and treatment of neurotoxic and cognitive disorders such as cognitive disorders in Down syndrome. The invention also relates to methods for preventing or treating neurotoxic and cognitive disorders including cognitive disorders in Down Syndrome.
Rational design, synthesis and biological profiling of new KDM4C inhibitors
diseases such as prostate and breast cancer. Majority of currently known inhibitors suffer from the low permeability and low selectivity between the enzyme isoforms. In this study, toxoflavin motif was used to design and synthesize new KDM4C inhibitors with improved biological activity and in vitro ADME properties. Inhibitors displayed good passive cellular permeability and metabolic stability. However
