Structure-Based Design, Synthesis, and Pharmacological Evaluation of 3-(Aminoalkyl)-5-fluoroindoles as Myeloperoxidase Inhibitors
摘要:
Oxidized low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) accumulate in the vascular wall and promote local inflammation, which contributes to the progression of the atheromatous plaque. The key role of myeloperoxidase (MPO) in this process is related to its ability to modify APO B-100 in the intima and at the surface of endothelial cells. A series of 3-(aminoalkyl)-5-fluoroindole analogues was designed and synthesized by exploiting the structure-based docking of 5-fluorotryptamine, a known MPO inhibitor. In vitro assays were used to study the effects of these compounds on the inhibition of MPO-mediated taurine chlorination and oxidation of LDLs. The kinetics of the interaction between the MPO redox intermediates, Compounds I and II, and these inhibitors was also investigated. The most potent molecules possessed a 4- or 5-carbon aminoalkyl side chain and no substituent on the amino group. The mode of binding of these analogues and the mechanism of inhibition is discussed with respect to the structure of MPO and its halogenation and peroxidase cycles.

Highly congested vicinal all-carbon quaternarystereocenters were generated via catalyticasymmetricalkylationreaction of 3-bromooxindoles with 3-substituted indoles. These catalyticreactions proceeded in excellent yields with a broad scope on either reaction partner, and with outstanding diastereo- and enantiocontrol. The newly developed method led to the total synthesis of (+)-perophoramidine

The ribosome is the primary protein synthesis machine in the cell and is a target for treatment of a variety of diseases including bacterial infection and cancer. The ribosomal peptide exit tunnel, the route of egress for the nascent peptide, is an inviting site for drug design. Toward a rational engagement of the nascent peptide components for the design of small molecule inhibitors of ribosome function, we designed and disclosed herein a set of N-10 indole functionalized azithromycin analogs. The indole moiety of these compounds is designed to mimic the translation stalling interaction of SecM W155 side-chain with the prokaryotic (Escherichia coli) ribosome A751 residue. Many of these N-10 functionalized compounds have enhanced translation inhibition activities against E. coli ribosome relative to azithromycin while a subset inhibited the growth of representative susceptible bacteria strains to about the same extent as azithromycin. Moreover, the inclusion of bovine serum in the bacterial growth media enhanced the anti-bacterial potency of the N-10 functionalized azithromycin analogs by as high as 10-fold.
