On the basis of harmine and 1-methoxy-canthin-6-one chemical structures, a series of novel 1,4-disubstituted and 1,4,9-trisubstituted β-carbolines and tetracyclic derivatives were designed and synthesized. Cytotoxic activities of these compounds in vitro were investigated in a human tumor cell line panel. Almost all compounds demonstrated interesting cytotoxic activities in particular against prostate cancer cells PC-3 with IC50 in the low micromolar range. Compound X was found to be the most potent one with IC50 value of 8.0 μM; this suggests further studies with models of prostate cancer. 相似文献

The potential for mirabegron, a β3-adrenoceptor agonist for the treatment of overactive bladder, to cause drug–drug interactions via inhibition or induction of cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes was investigated in vitro. Mirabegron was shown to be a time-dependent inhibitor of CYP2D6 in the presence of NADPH as the IC50 value in human liver microsomes decreased from 13 to 4.3 μM after 30-min pre-incubation. Further evaluation indicated that mirabegron may act partly as an irreversible or quasi-irreversible metabolism-dependent inhibitor of CYP2D6. Therefore, the potential of mirabegron to inhibit the metabolism of CYP2D6 substrates in vivo cannot be excluded. Mirabegron was predicted not to cause clinically significant metabolic drug–drug interactions via inhibition of CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2E1, or CYP3A4/5 because the IC50 values for these enzymes both with and without pre-incubation were >100 μM (370 times maximum human plasma concentration [Cmax]). Whereas positive controls (100 µM omeprazole and 10 µM rifampin) caused the anticipated CYP induction, the highest concentration of mirabegron (10 µM; 37 times plasma Cmax) had minimal effect on CYP1A2 and CYP3A4/5 activity, and CYP1A2 and CYP3A4 mRNA levels in freshly isolated human hepatocytes, suggesting that mirabegron is not an inducer of these enzymes. 相似文献

Quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) studies were performed on β-carboline derivatives for prediction of anticancer activity. The statistically significant 2D-QSAR model having r 2 = 0.726 and q 2 = 0.654 with pred_ r 2 = 0.763 was developed by stepwise multiple linear regression method. In order to understand the structural requirement of these β-carboline derivatives, a ligand-based pharmacophore 3D-QSAR model was developed. The five-point pharmacophore hypothesis yielded a 3D-QSAR model with good partial least-square statistics results ( r 2 = 0.73, Q ext 2 = 0.755, F = 67.5, SD = 0.245, RMSE = 0.241, Pearson-R = 0.883). A docking study revealed the binding orientations of these derivatives at the active site amino residues of DNA intercalate (PDB ID: 1D12). The results of 2D-QSAR, atom-based 3D-QSAR, and docking studies gave detailed structural insights as well as highlighted important binding features of β-carboline derivatives as anticancer agent which provided guidance for the rational design of novel potent anticancer agents. 相似文献

Summary The inhibitory effects of racemic (±)-nimodipine and of optically pure (+)- and (–)-nimodipine on the basal and calmodulin-dependent activity of a cAMP phosphodiesterase from bovine heart were investigated. The inhibition by (±)-nimodipine could not be overcome by an excess of calmodulin. However, increase of the cAMP concentration in the assay from 2 × 10 –4 mol/l to 2 × 10 –2 mol/l caused a shift of the IC 50 for the inhibition by (±)-nimodipine from 2.8 × 10 –6 mol/l to 6 × 10 –5 mol/l. Dixon-plot analysis revealed an inhibitory constant of K
i = 2.3 mol/l, Experiments with the two enantiomers showed that (+)-nimodipine is by about one order of magnitude more potent than (–)-nimodipine. This contrasts with the stereoselectivity of the Ca 2+ channel inhibitory activity on isolated rings of the rabbit basilar artery where (–)-nimodipine is more effective than (+)-nimodipine in relaxing the smooth muscle contracted by K +-depolarisation. It is concluded that cAMP phosphodiesterase may be an intracellular target for nimodipine and its inhibition may contribute to the pharmacological activity of this 1,4-dihydropyridine.

Receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 1(RIPK1) functions as a key regulator in inflammation and cell death and is involved in mediating a variety of inflammatory or degenerative diseases. A number of allosteric RIPK1 inhibitors(RIPK1i) have been developed, and some of them have already advanced into clinical evaluation. Recently, selective RIPK1i that interact with both the allosteric pocket and the ATP-binding site of RIPK1 have started to emerge. Here, we report the rational dev... 相似文献

Many virus species, as well as a limited number of cellular mRNAs, initiate protein synthesis by an unusual mechanism, based on well-defined RNA structures called internal ribosome entry sites (IRES). IRES-mediated internal initiation allows recognition of the start codon by the ribosome in a cap-independent way, avoiding major regulatory steps. The IRES elements and their trans-acting factors are potential targets for developing new agents against hepatitis C, and may provide new possibilities for antitumor therapy. 相似文献

Novel beta-hydroxy propenamides as analogues of the active metabolite of leflunomide (A 771726) were synthesized and evaluated for their inhibitory activity on dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) in an investigation into their immunosuppressive activity. Compounds 2a, 3a, and 3h were approximately 4-40 times more potent than leflunomide in their activity while they were-less active than A 771726. 相似文献

Novel enantiomers and diastereoisomers structurally related to σ ligand (+)-MR200 were synthesized to improve σ(1)/σ(2) subtype selectivity. The selective σ(1) ligand (-)-8 showed an antagonist profile determined by phenytoin differential modulation of binding affinity in vitro, confirmed in vivo by an increase of κ opioid analgesia. The σ(2) ligand (-)-9 displayed agonist properties in an in vitro isolated organ bath assay and antiproliferative effects on LNCaP and PC3 prostate cancer cell lines. 相似文献

17β-HSD1 is a novel target for the treatment of estrogen-dependent diseases, as it catalyzes intracellular estradiol formation. Starting from two recently described compounds, highly active and selective inhibitors were developed. Benzoyl 6 and benzamide 17 are the most selective compounds toward 17β-HSD2 described so far. They also showed a promising profile regarding activity in T47-D cells, selectivity toward ERα and ERβ, inhibition of hepatic CYP enzymes, metabolic stability, and inhibition of marmoset 17β-HSD1 and 17β-HSD2. 相似文献

Eicosanoids are generally considered to be potent pro-inflammatory mediators, and their suppression has, therefore, been a desirable therapeutic goal. However, analysis of the literature reveals that inhibition of specific eicosanoids per se is a simplistic approach because it overlooks the fact that net pathophysiological effects of these lipid mediators arise from a complex balance between eicosanoids derived from different pathways, which might exhibit both pro-and anti-inflammatory activities (depending on organs and disease stage), or which might have essential physiological roles. An alternative strategy, discussed in this review, might be to control inflammatory lipid mediators in such a way as to avoid disrupting this intricate inter-eicosanoid balance and its physiological sequelae. 相似文献

1.?Beta-carbolines are indole alkaloids with a wide range of pharmacological and toxicological activities. Beta-carbolines are structurally related to the neurotoxin 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+), a known substrate of organic cation transporters (OCTs). The goal of this study is to determine the interaction of β-carbolines with human OCT1, 2, and 3 (SLC22A1-3).2.?Dose-dependent inhibition studies were performed for five commercially available β-carbolines using a fluorescent substrate assay in HEK293 cells stably expressing hOCT1-3. The substrate potential was evaluated by uptake assays and the impact of active transport on cellular toxicity examined.3.?All tested β-carbolines potently inhibited hOCT2 with IC 50 values in the sub- or low micromolar range. Harmaline is the most potent hOCT2 inhibitor (IC 50?= ?0.50?±?0.08?μM). hOCT1 and hOCT3 are less sensitive to β-carboline inhibition. Harmaline, norharmanium, and 2,9-dimethyl-4,9-dihydro-3 H-β-carbolinium accumulated 2- to 7-fold higher in cells expressing hOCT1-3. HEK293 cells expressing hOCT1-3 were 6.5- to 13-fold more sensitive to harmane and norharmanium toxicity.4.?Our data support a significant role of hOCT1-3 in tissue uptake and disposition of β-carbolines. Importantly, the potent inhibition of hOCT2 by β-carbolines also raises the concern of potential drug interactions between naturally occurring bioactive alkaloids and drugs eliminated by hOCT2. 相似文献

Summary AT-125 (Acivicin) is an inhibitor of -glutamyltranspeptidase (-GTP) which initiates glutathione catabolism to cysteine. We measured plasma and brain glutathione and cysteine in rats treated with AT-125. Six h after AT-125 treatment, plasma glutathione had increased 6-fold and plasma cysteine had fallen significantly. Brain cysteine fell after 24 h of AT-125 treatment, and brain glutathione had also decreased 18%. AT-125 pretreatment inhibited brain uptake of 35S when it was given as 35S-GSH but had no effect when it was given as 35S-cysteine. These results suggest that plasma glutathione is catabolized by -GTP, and cysteine derived from it is taken up by the brain. N-acetylcysteine was administered to AT-125 treated rats in an attempt to supply cysteine to the brain in the face of -GTP inhibition. N-acetylcysteine supported brain glutathione levels, suggesting that it can serve as a source of cysteine under these conditions.Abbreviations -GTP

New derivatives based upon the tetrahydro-β-carboline-hydantoin and tetrahydro-β-carboline-piperazinedione scaffolds were synthesized. All compounds were evaluated for their ability to inhibit PDE5 in vitro, and numerous compounds with IC(50) values in the low nanomolar range were identified including compounds derived from l-tryptophan. Compounds with high potency versus PDE5 were then evaluated for inhibitory activity against other PDEs to assess isozyme selectivity. Compound 5R,11aS-5-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-ethyl-5,6,11,11a-tetrahydro-1H-imidazo[1',5':1,6]pyrido[3,4-b]indole-1,3(2H)dione 14 showed a selectivity index of >200 for cGMP hydrolysis by PDE5 versus PDE11. Meanwhile, 6R,12aR-6-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-ethyl-2,3,6,7,12,12a-hexahydropyrazino[1',2':1,6]pyrido[3,4-b]indole-1,4dione 45 demonstrated strong potency for inhibition of PDE11 with an IC(50) value of 11 nM, representing the most potent PDE11 inhibitor thus far reported. Docking experiments differentiated between active and inactive analogues and revealing the conformational, steric, and lipophilic necessities for potent PDE5 inhibition. Many derivatives, including potent PDE5 inhibitors, were able to inhibit the growth of the MDA-MB-231 breast tumor cell line with low micromolar potency. 相似文献

In this paper, the analgesic, antioedematous, motor-impairing and antioxidant properties of four γ-butyrolactone derivatives (BM113, BM113A, BM138 and BM138A) are described. Pain was induced by thermal (hot-plate test), chemical (writhing test) or mechanical (Randall-Selitto model) stimulation. All in-vivo assays were carried out in mice pretreated intraperitoneally with the test compounds, except for the evaluation of anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities in the carrageenan-induced paw oedema model, in which rats were pretreated orally with these compounds. In the hot-plate assay, BM113A and BM138A dose dependently prolonged the latency of the nociceptive reaction. Their analgesic activity, measured as a median effective dose (ED(50)=4.7 mg/kg), was similar to that of morphine (2.4 mg/kg). In the writhing test, all four compounds, in particular BM113A and BM138A, showed higher potency than the reference drug acetylsalicylic acid (the ED(50) values were 3.7, 2.3 and 46.1 mg/kg, respectively). BM138 caused a dose-dependent diminution of paw oedema (up to 49%) in the carrageenan model and BM138A at 200 mg/kg reduced mechanical hyperalgesia in the Randall-Selitto test (~30% when compared with the control). None of the γ-butyrolactone derivatives tested at the ED(50) obtained in the hot-plate test influenced the locomotor activity of mice, although in the rotarod test at 24 rpm, BM113A and BM138 at 100 mg/kg showed some motor-impairing properties. In vitro, a concentration-dependent ABTS radical cation-scavenging activity of BM138 and BM138A (up to 80% inhibition of the radical absorbance) was observed. The results of the present study suggest that BM138 and BM138A could be of interest for future investigations as antinociceptive and antioedematous agents with potential free radical-scavenging properties. 相似文献

Based on the pharmacophore model of Glennon the conformationally restricted σ(1) receptor ligand 2 with a 1,3-dioxane moiety has been designed and synthesized. The three step synthesis (transacetalization with pentane-1,3,5-triol, tosylation, and nucleophilic substitution with benzylamine) provided diastereoselectively the cis-configured 1,3-dioxane 2 in good yields. The 1,3-dioxane 2 represents a potent σ(1) receptor ligand (K(i) = 19 nM) with moderate selectivity over the σ(2) subtype (K(i) = 92 nM) and excellent selectivity against more than 60 other targets. Additionally the hERG K(+) channel is not affected by 2. In the capsaicin assay 2 showed extraordinarily high analgesic activity with more than 70% analgesia at the very low dose of 0.25 mg/kg body weight, which indicates σ(1) antagonistic activity. Since 2 does only interact with σ(1) receptors, the in-vivo antiallodynic activity of 2 must be attributed to the σ(1) antagonistic activity. 相似文献

Summary An involvement of imidazoline recognition sites in the modulation of transmitter release was investigated in the rabbit pulmonary artery and aorta preincubated with [ 3H]noradrenaline and superfused with physiological salt solution containing cocaine, corticosterone and propranolol. Electrical impulses were applied transmurally at 0.66 or 2 Hz.
In the absence of further drugs, rauwolscine as well as the imidazoline derivatives BDF 6143 [4-chloro-2-(2-imidazoline-2-ylamino)-isoindoline], idazoxan and phentolamine increased the 3H overflow from the pulmonary artery, evoked by electrical stimulation at 2 Hz; the effect was due to the 2-autoreceptor blocking property of these drugs. The maximum increase in overflow obtainable with the imidazolines was considerably lower than with rauwolscine. The concentration-response curves of the imidazolines were bell-shaped. At 0.66 Hz, BDF 6143 did not facilitate, but concentration-dependently inhibited, whereas idazoxan failed to change the evoked 3H overflow. When, at the stimulation frequency of 2 Hz, presynaptic
2- adrenoceptors were blocked by rauwolscine and/or pre-exposure to phenoxybenzamine, the electrically evoked 3H overflow from the pulmonary artery and/or aorta was inhibited by the following imidazoline derivatives: the 2-adrenoceptor antagonists BDF 6143, idazoxan and phentolamine, the 1-adrenoceptor agonist with 2-blocking property cirazoline as well as the 2-adrenoceptor agonists clonidine and moxonidine. The maximum inhibition caused by BDF 6143 was greater than that due to clonidine and moxonidine; the latter two, hence, behaved as partial agonists. At the stimulation frequency of 0.66 Hz, the imidazolines exhibited a higher potency than, but a similar intrinsic activity to that at 2 Hz. Noradrenaline did not affect the evoked 3H overflow. The BDF 6143-induced inhibition of evoked 3H overflow was not modified by metitepine, atropine, theophylline, dipyridamole and indometacin, but was counteracted by the partial agonists clonidine and moxonidine.The results exclude the possibility that 1- and 2-adrenoceptors, 5-HT 1 receptors, muscarine receptors, P 1 purinoceptors and prostaglandin receptors are involved in the imidazoline-induced inhibition of noradrenaline release. They provide evidence indicating that the inhibitory effect is mediated by imidazoline receptors on the postganglionic sympathetic nerve terminals of the rabbit pulmonary artery and aorta. 相似文献
