A series of novel 5-amino-6-fluoro-1-[(1R,2S)-2-fluorocyclopropan-1-yl]-8-methylquinolones bearing fluorinated (3R)-3-(1-aminocyclopropan-1-yl)pyrrolidin-1-yl substituents at the C-7 position (2-4) was synthesized to obtain potent drugs for infections caused by Gram-positive pathogens, which include resistant strains such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae (PRSP), and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE). These fluorinated compounds 2-4 exhibited potent antibacterial activity comparable with that of a compound bearing a non-fluorinated (3R)-3-(1-aminocyclopropan-1-yl)pyrrolidine moiety at the C-7 position (1) and had at least 4 times more potent activity against representative Gram-positive bacteria than ciprofloxacin (CPFX), gatifloxacin (GFLX), or moxifloxacin (MFLX). Among them, the 7-[(3S,4R)-4-(1-aminocyclopropan-1-yl)-3-fluoropyrrolidin-1-yl] derivative 3 (=DQ-113), which showed favorable profiles in preliminary toxicological and nonclinical pharmcokinetic studies, exhibited potent antibacterial activity against clinically isolated resistant Gram-positive pathogens.

Improved synthesis of an ester-type prodrug, 1-acetoxyethyl 7-[(Z)-2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-hydroxyiminoacetamido]-3-[(Z)-1- propenyl]-3-cephem-4-carboxylate (BMY-28271)

1-Acetoxyethyl 7-[(Z)-2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-hydroxyiminoacetamido]-3- [(Z)-1-propenyl]-3-cephem-4-carboxylate (BMY-28271) is an ester-type prodrug of cephalosporin for oral use.

1-(7-Chloroquinolin-4-yl)-2-[(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)methylene]hydrazine: a potent compound against cancer

Heteroaromatic derivatives (3a–f) have been synthesized and evaluated for their activity against four cancer cell lines. Among the studied compounds, 1-(7-Chloroquinolin-4-yl)-2-[(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)methylene]hydrazine (3e) exhibited an excellent cytotoxic activity against the referred lines, and especially on melanoma cells (MDAMB-435). In this case, compound 3e is four times more active than the standard substance Doxorubicin. Together with other results from our group, 7-chloro-4-quinolinylhydrazones derived from chloroquine could be considered a relevant finding toward the rational design of new leads for antitumor compounds.     

Pharmacological studies on triazine derivatives V Sedative and neuroleptic actions of 2-amino-4-[4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-piperazin-1-yl]-6-trifluoromethyl-s-triazine (TR-10).

Pharmacological properties of 2 amino-4-[4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-piperazin-1-yl]-6-trifluoromethyl-s-triazine (TR-10) were investigated in mice and rats. Chlorpromazine served as a reference compound. Tr-10 expressed in general the pharmacological profiles as neuroleptic ascertained by anti-methamphetamine activity, supression of conditioned avoidance response, taming effects, decrease in exploratory behavior and cataleptogenic activity. Among these effects, anti-methamphetamine action was most potent. Different from chlorpromazine, TR-10 showed a similar pharmacological activity pattern in the intraperitoneal and oral routes of administration as depicted from ED50/LD50 values. Although the effects relevant to neuroleptics were less potent than chlorpromazine, such were seen with TR-10 at lower doses than those causing muscle relaxation. TR-10 significantly depressed the spontaneous motor activity but showed no anti-convulsant action in mice. Hypothermic action, potentiating effects of hypnotics and alpha-adrenergic blocking action, characteristic to chlorpromazine, were very weak for TR-10. TR-10 also showed low toxicity in mice (LD50 = 820 mg/kg p.o., 465 mg/kg i.p.) compared with that of chlorpromazine (LD50 = 370 mg/kg p.o., 228 mg/kg i.p.).

Synthesis and anticonvulsant activity of 3-(6-substituted-benzothiazol-2-yl)-6-phenyl-[1, 3]-xazinane-2-thiones

A new series of 3-(6-substituted-benzothiazol-2-yl)-6-phenyl-[1, 3]-oxazinane-2-thiones (4a-j) has been synthesised using an appropriate synthetic route (Scheme 1) and characterised by elemental analyses and spectral (IR, (1)HNMR, (13)C NMR, and EI MS) data. The anticonvulsant activity of all the title compounds (4a-j) was evaluated against Maximal Electroshock (MES) induced seizures and furthermore the most potent compounds were evaluated against subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole (sc PTZ) induced seizures model in mice. The neurotoxicity was assessed using the rotorod procedure. All the test compounds were administered intraperitoneally at various dose levels ranging from 30-200 mg/kg body wt and the median effective dose (ED(50)), median toxic dose (TD(50)), and protection index (PI) values were determined (Table 2). Among the compounds tested, the 3-(6-dimethylaminobenzothiazol-2-yl)-6-phenyl-[1, 3]-oxazinane-2-thiones (4j) was found to be the most potent (ED(50): 9.85 and 14.8 in MES model and 12 and 17 in scPTZ model at t = 0.5 h and 4 h, respectively, and TD(50) 42.8 and 44 at t = 0.5 h and 4 h, respectively, which has been found to be significant at p < 0.01 with respect to reference standard phenytoin) with protection index (PI) 4.85.     

Discovery of (2S)-1-[4-(2-{6-Amino-8-[(6-bromo-1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)sulfanyl]-9H-purin-9-yl}ethyl)piperidin-1-yl]-2-hydroxypropan-1-one (MPC-3100), a Purine-Based Hsp90 Inhibitor

Modulation of Hsp90 (heat shock protein 90) function has been recognized as an attractive approach for cancer treatment, since many cancer cells depend on Hsp90 to maintain cellular homeostasis. This has spurred the search for small-molecule Hsp90 inhibitors. Here we describe our lead optimization studies centered on the purine-based Hsp90 inhibitor 28a containing a piperidine moiety at the purine N9 position. In this study, key SAR was established for the piperidine N-substituent and for the congeners of the 1,3-benzodioxole at C8. These efforts led to the identification of orally bioavailable 28g that exhibits good in vitro profiles and a characteristic molecular biomarker signature of Hsp90 inhibition both in vitro and in vivo. Favorable pharmacokinetic properties along with significant antitumor effects in multiple human cancer xenograft models led to the selection of 28g (MPC-3100) as a clinical candidate.     

(1H-imidazol-1-yl)methyl]- and [(3-pyridinyl)methyl]pyrroles as thromboxane synthetase inhibitors

Several [(1H-imidazol-1-yl)methyl]- and [(3-pyridinyl)methyl] pyrroles were prepared and evaluated in vitro as thromboxane synthetase inhibitors in human platelet aggregation studies. A number of structures, e.g. 10b,f,g,i (respective IC50 values: 1 microM, 50 nM, 42 nM, 44 nM) showed superior in vitro inhibition of TXA2 synthetase when compared to the standard dazoxiben (1). However, it was found that in vitro potency did not translate into nor correlate with in vivo activity when these compounds were evaluated in mice in a collagen-epinephrine-induced pulmonary thromboembolism model. (E)-1-Methyl-2-[(1H-imidazol-1-yl)methyl]-5-(2-carboxyprop-1-enyl) pyrrole (10b) was found to offer protection against collagen-epinephrine-induced mortality in mice, thereby demonstrating that oral administration is an effective route for absorption of this drug. Additional evidence for the oral effectiveness of 10b in lowering serum TXB2 levels was obtained by performing ex vivo radioimmunoassay experiments with rats. A 13-week study of 10b in rats with reduced renal mass was conducted in order to evaluate the role of TXA2 production in hypertension and renal dysfunction. Although serum and urinary TXB2 levels in rats were found to be lowered during this study by 10b, the levels of urinary protein excretion remained comparable to that of the control group.
