Optimization of Small-Molecule Inhibitors of Influenza Virus Polymerase: From Thiophene-3-Carboxamide to Polyamido Scaffolds
摘要:
Influenza virus infections represent a serious concern to public health, being characterized by high morbidity and significant mortality. To date, compounds targeting the viral ion-channel M2 or the viral neuraminidase are the drugs available for treatment of influenza, but the emergence of drug-resistant viral mutants renders the search for novel targets and their possible inhibitors a major priority. Recently, we I I demonstrated that the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP) complex can be an optimal target of protein protein disruption by small molecules, with thiophene-3-carboxamide derivatives emerging as promising candidates for the development of new anti-influenza drugs with broad-spectrum activity. Here, we report a further dissection of the thiophene-3-carboxamide structure. By using a GRID molecular interaction field (MIF)-based scaffold-hopping approach, more potent and nontoxic polyamido derivatives were identified, highlighting a new space in the chemical variability of RdRP inhibitors. Finally, a possible pharmacophoric model highlighting the key features required for RdRP inhibition is proposed.

The use of substituted pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines for modulating the activity of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11βHSD1) and the use of these compounds as pharmaceutical compositions are described. Also a novel class of substituted pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines their use in therapy, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds, as well as their use in the manufacture of medicaments are described The present compounds are modulators and more specifically inhibitors of the activity of 11βHSD1 and may be useful in the treatment, prevention and/or prophylaxis of a range of medical disorders where a decreased intracellular concentration of active glucocorticoid is desirable.
