Low Molecular Weight Amidoximes that Act as Potent Inhibitors of Lysine-Specific Demethylase 1
摘要:
The recently discovered enzyme lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) plays an important role in the epigenetic control of gene expression, and aberrant gene silencing secondary to LSD1 dysregulation is thought to contribute to the development of cancer. We reported that (bis)guanidines, (bis)biguanides, and their urea- and thiourea isosteres are potent inhibitors of LSD1 and induce the re-expression of aberrantly silenced tumor suppressor genes in tumor cells in vitro. We now report a series of small molecule amidoximes that are moderate inhibitors of recombinant LSD1 but that produce dramatic changes in methylation at the histone 3 lysine 4 (H3K4) chromatin mark, a specific target of LSD1, in Calu-6 lung carcinoma cells. In addition, these analogues increase cellular levels of secreted frizzle-related protein (SFRP) 2, H-cadherin (HCAD), and the transcription factor GATA4. These compounds represent leads for an important new series of drug-like epigenetic modulators with the potential for use as antitumor agents.

Novel derivatives of isothiazoles are described as potent ATP-competitive inhibitors of vascular endothelial growth factor receptors I and II (VEGFR-1/2). A number of compounds exhibited VEGFR-2 inhibitory activity comparable to that of Vatalanib™ in both HTRF enzymatic and cellular assays. Several derivatives featuring bulky meta-substituents in the amide portion of the molecule displayed 4- to 8-fold
异噻唑的新型衍生物被描述为血管内皮生长因子受体I和II(VEGFR-1 / 2)的有效ATP竞争性抑制剂。在HTRF酶和细胞分析中,许多化合物均具有与Vatalanib™相当的VEGFR-2抑制活性。几种在分子的酰胺部分具有较大的间位取代基的衍生物显示出对VEGFR-2的特异性是VEGFR-1的4到8倍。活性分子 在整个Caco-2细胞单层上也表现出高的固有渗透性(> 30×10 -5 cm / min)。

This disclosure describes novel substituted phenyl-5-aminopyrazoles useful as anxiolytic and/or anti-depressant agents.
This study reported a tandem strategy on sequential base-controlled benzylation/Pd-catalyzed secondary amide arylation for one-pot synthesis of highly functionalized hydroquinolin-2-ones. This strategy involves creation of 3 bonds, 1 ring, and 1 quaternary carbon center while synthesizing diverse 3-cyano substituted hydroquinolin-2-ones in 41–83% yields.
