New amides of 5-acylamino-3-methyl-4-isothiazolecarboxylic acid and their immunotropic activity

Several new amides 4 of 5-substituted 3-methyl-4-isothiazolecarboxylic acid were obtained. These compounds have acetylamino or benzoylamino groups in position 5 of the isothiazole ring. In position 4, the carboxylic group was transformed in the amides using amino-acid esters. Activities of the obtained derivatives were checked in the humoral immune response and delayed type hypersensitivity reaction to sheep red blood cells (SRBCs) in vivo.     

Synthesis and structure-activity relationships of 3-aminobenzophenones as antimitotic agents

A new series of 3-aminobenzophenone compounds as potent inhibitors of tubulin polymerization was discovered based on the mimic of the aminocombretastatin molecular skeleton. Lead compounds 5 and 11, with alkoxy groups at the C-4 position of B-ring, were potent cytotoxic agents and inhibitors of tubulin polymerization through the binding to the colchicine-binding site of tubulin. The corresponding antitubulin activities of 5 and 11 were similar to or greater than combretastatin A-4 and AVE-8063. Replacement of the methoxy group with a chloro group in the B ring of aminobenzopheneones (3, 8, and 9) caused drastic decrease in cytotoxic and antitubulin activity except in compounds 4 and 10, which could result from a unique alignment between chloro and amino groups located at the para position to each other. SAR information revealed that introduction of an amino group at the C-3 position in B ring of benzophenones, in addition to a methoxy group at the C-4 position, plays an important role for maximal cytotoxicity.     

Synthesis and Structure Elucidation of 5-Aminomethinimino-3-methyl-4-isoxazolecarboxylic Acid Phenylamides and Their Immunological Activity

A series of 5-aminomethinimino-3-methyl-4-isoxazolecarboxylic acid phenylamides 4 has been prepared by condensation of 5-amino-3-methyl-4-isoxazolecarboxylic acid phenylamides 1 with trichloroacetic aldehyde. Alcoholysis of trichloro derivatives 2 gave 5-alkoxymethine derivatives 3 which, on reaction with an appropriate amine, formed the corresponding compounds 4 . The compounds obtained were evaluated for their immunological activity. The properties of three compounds, described in this report, permitted inhibition of the immune response in all possible ways: diminishing both types of immune response ( 4d ), humoral immune response ( 4a ), or cellular immune response ( 4c ). Preparation 4d is comparable in its effectiveness to CsA, so it may be potentially used as an agent for prolongation of the function of transplanted organs. Two other compounds may potentially be used in cases where only one type the immune response is required for combating pathogen invasion.     

Preparation and pharmacologic activity of 2-(4'R')benzyl-5R-benzimidazole and 2-(4'-pyridinyl)-5R-benzimidazoles. Analgesic activity and effect on conditioned avoidance response

Sixteen 2-(4'R')phenyl-5R-benzimidazoles and two 2-(4'-pyridinyl)-5R-benzimidazoles were prepared and tested, together with 2-phenylbenzimidazole, for their activity on the acquisition of a conditioned avoidance response in rats and for analgesic activity in mice, and compared with chlorpromazine and acetylsalicylic acid. Several compounds inhibit strongly the acquisition of a C.A.R., with 2-(4'-alkoxy)phenylbenzimidazoles (XVI) and (XVII) clearly exceeding chlorpromazine. Analgesic activity is also generally present in the examined compounds; those bearing in the position 5 a trifluoromethyl or an acetyl group exhibit an activity higher than that of acetylsalicylic acid. Deconditioning and analgesic activities are not correlated with each other.     

Synthesis, conformational analysis and antinociceptive activity of 1-[N-methyl-(2-phenylethyl)amino]methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives

New derivatives of 1-[N-methyl-(2-phenylethyl)amino]methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline were synthesized. The antinociceptive activity of the compounds, determined by the mouse tail-flick test, showed that the introduction of a hydroxy substituent in position 5 of the isoquinoline nucleus generated compounds 4c and 5c, which were as potent as codeine. Conformational analysis and superimposition of energy minima conformers of the compounds on phenazocine revealed that the main proposed opioid pharmacophores were well matched.     

Synthesis, analgesic and antiinflammatory properties of certain 5-/6-acyl-3-(4-substituted-1-piperazinylmethyl)-2-benzoxazolinones derivatives

The synthesis of a novel series of Mannich bases of 5-/6-acyl-5-methyl-2-benzoxazolinones has been described. The structures attributed to compounds 2a, 3a, 4a, 4b, 9a, 9b, 5a-5g, 6a-6g, 10a, 10g, 11a, 11g have been elucidated using IR and (1)H NMR spectroscopic techniques besides elemental analysis. The compounds have been evaluated for their in vivo analgesic and antiinflammatory activities using the p-benzoquinone-induced writhing test and the carrageenan hind paw oedema test in mice, respectively. In addition, the ulcerogenic effects of the compounds were determined. Among the tested derivatives most promising results were obtained for the compounds bearing a 6-(4-chlorobenzoyl) at C-6 position and 2-/4-fluorophenyl at C-3 position of 2-benzoxazolinone ring (11c, 11d).

Synthesis and immunological activity of new 5-amino-3-methyl 4-amido and 4-ureilene isoxazole derivatives.

5-Amino-3-methylisoxazole-4-carboxylic acid amides and ureilenes have been synthesized from 5-amino-3-methylisoxazole-4-carbonyl azide. The compounds were investigated for potential immunotropic activity in several immunological tests. The most interesting suppressory activities in the humoral and cellular immune response were compared to activities of analogous compounds previously described as immunostimulatory.     

Synthesis and docking studies of new 1,4-dihydropyridines containing 4-(5)-Chloro-2-ethyl-5-(4)-imidazolyl substituent as novel calcium channel agonist

1,4-Dihydropyridines have been recognized as calcium channel agonist. Three new analogues of Bay K8644 in which the ortho trifluromethyl phenyl group at position 4 is replaced by the 4-(5)-Chloro-2-ethyl-5-(4)-imidazolyl substituent, were designed and synthesized as calcium channel agonist. For this propose, the structures of designed compounds were drawn by HYPERCHEM program. Conformations of the compounds were optimized through semi-empirical method followed by PM3 calculation. Then the crystalin stucture of L-type calcium channel was obtained from the Protein Data Bank (PDB) server. Docking calculations were carried out using Auto-Dock.4 program. The good interaction of our 1,4-DHP derivatives showed that they can be as possible calcium channel agonist agents. Finally compounds were synthesized according to a modified Hantzsch condensation procedure.

Anticomplementary activity of oleanane-type triterpenes from the roots of Aceriphyllum rossii

To gain a better understanding of the anticomplement activity of triterpenoids, the complement activity of five unusual oleanane-type triterpenoids, bearing a carboxyl group at the C-29 position, were estimated against the classical pathway of a complementary system. The five triterpenoids were obtained from the roots of Aceriphyllum rossii (Saxifragaceae), and were determined to be aceriphyllic acids B-E (1-4) and K (5). Of the isolated compounds, compounds 1, 2 and 5 showed anticomplement activities, with IC(50) values of 328.4, 77.5 and 348.6 μM, respectively, whereas, compounds 3 and 4 were inactive. This showed that a carboxyl group at the C-23 position and an α-configuration of a hydroxyl group at the C-3 position in the olean-29-carboxylic acid triterpenoids seemed to play an important role in the anticomplement activity of human serum against erythrocytes.     

Structure-activity relationship of fluoroquinolone inEscherichia coli

Structure-activity relationship of 20 fluoroquinolones was studied using the susceptible and 4 resistantEscherichia coli which were developed against 4 fluoroquinolones [ciprofloxacin (1), KR-10755 (6), norfloxacin (2), and ofloxacin (3)] in our laboratory. The C-7 and C-8 substituents of fluoroquinolone were important in various functions such as the inhibitory activity on DNA gyrase, permeability, and efflux. Among 20 fluoroquinolones, compounds with a 3-methyl-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.0]octan-1(5)-ene-7-yl substituent at the C-7 position or a chlorine substituent at the C-8 position showed a good inhibitory activity on DNA gyrase (especially a mutated DNA gyrase). Compounds with a 3,7-diazabicyclo [3.3.0]octan-1(5)-ene-7-yl substituent at the C-7 position showed good permeability in the susceptible and resistant strains, while compounds with a fluorine substituent at the C-8 position were less effluxed from cells.     

Evolution of a series of peptidoleukotriene antagonists: synthesis and structure/activity relationships of 1,3,5-substituted indoles and indazoles

1,3,5-Substituted indoles and indazoles have been studied as receptor antagonists of the peptidoleukotrienes. The best of these compounds generally had a methyl group at the N1 position, a [(cyclopentyloxy)carbonyl]amino or 2-cyclopentylacetamido or N'-cyclopentylureido group at the C-5 position, and an arylsulfonyl amide group as part of the acidic chain at the C-3 position of the ring. Such compounds had in vitro dissociation constants (KB) in the range 10(-9) - 10(-11) M on guinea pig trachea against LTE4 as agonist and inhibition constants (Ki) less than or equal to 10(-9) M on guinea pig parenchymal membranes against [3H]LTD4. A number of compounds were orally effective at doses less than or equal to 1 mg/kg in blocking LTD4-induced "dyspnea" in guinea pigs. Compound 45 [N-[4-[[5-[[(cyclopentyloxy)carbonyl]-amino]-1-methylindol-3- yl]methyl]-3-methoxybenzoyl]-2-methylbenzenesulfonamide, ICI 204,219; pKB = 9.67 +/- 0.13, Ki = 0.3 +/- 0.03 nM, po ED50 = 0.3 mg/kg] is currently under clinical investigation for asthma. In the indole series, certain alkylsulfonyl amides possessing a 3-cyanobenzyl substituent at the N-1 position (60, 61) were produced that had KB less than or equal to 10(-9) M on guinea pig trachea.     

Benzo[c]quinolizin-3-ones: a novel class of potent and selective nonsteroidal inhibitors of human steroid 5alpha-reductase 1

The synthesis and biological evaluation of a series of novel, selective inhibitors of isoenzyme 1 of human 5alpha-reductase (5alphaR) (EC 1.3.99.5) are reported. The inhibitors are 4aH- (19-29) or 1H-tetrahydrobenzo[c]quinolizin-3-ones (35-47) bearing at positions 1, 4, 5, and 6 a methyl group and at position 8 a hydrogen, methyl group, or chlorine atom. All these compounds were tested toward 5alphaR-1 and 5alphaR-2 expressed in CHO cells (CHO 1827 and CHO 1829, respectively) resulting in selective inhibitors of the type 1 isoenzyme, with inhibitory potencies (IC(50)) ranging from 7.6 to 9100 nM. The inhibitors of the 4aH-series, having a double bond at position 1,2, were generally less active than the corresponding inhibitors of the 1H-series having the double bond at position 4,4a on the A ring. The presence of a methyl group at position 4 (as in compounds 39-40 and 45-47), associated with a substituent at position 8, determined the highest inhibition potency (IC(50) from 7.6 to 20 nM). Compounds 39 and 40, having K(i) values of 5.8+/-1.8 and 2.7+/-0.6 nM, respectively, toward 5alphaR-1 expressed in CHO cells, were also tested toward native 5alphaR-1 in human scalp and 5alphaR-2 in human prostate homogenates, in comparison with finasteride and the known 5alphaR-1-selective inhibitor LY191704, and their mechanism of inhibition was determined. They both inhibited the enzyme through a reversible competitive mechanism and again were selective inhibitors of 5alphaR-1 with IC(50) values of 41 nM. These specific features make these inhibitors suitable candidates for further development as drugs in the treatment of DHT-dependent disorders such as acne and androgenic alopecia in men and hirsutism in women.     

Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of 2-Amino-3-(4-chlorobenzoyl)-4-[(4-arylpiperazin-1-yl)methyl]-5-substituted-thiophenes. Effect of the 5-Modification on Allosteric Enhancer Activity at the A(1) Adenosine Receptor

We have recently reported a detailed structure-activity relationship study around a wide series of 2-amino-3-(4-chlorobenzoyl)-4-[(4-arylpiperazin-1-yl)methyl]thiophene derivatives as potent allosteric enhancers of the A(1) adenosine receptor. In the current study, we have continued to explore the potential of these molecules by synthesizing of a novel series of analogues that share a common 2-amino-3-(4-chlorobenzoyl)thiophene nucleus. Modifications were focused on varying the nature and the position of electron-withdrawing or electron-releasing groups on the phenyl of an arylpiperazine moiety attached at the 4-position of the thiophene ring by a methylene chain, combined with the presence of small alkyl groups (methyl or ethyl), bromine, or aryl moieties at the thiophene C-5 position. In this series of compounds, substitution at the 5-position had a fundamental effect on activity, with the 5-aryl group contributing additively to the allosteric enhancer activity. The thiophene C-5 aryl derivatives 4ad, 4ak, and 4al were the most active compounds in binding and functional experiments.

Tert-aminoalkyl derivatives of 3-methyl-6,8-diazaquinoxaline-2(1H)-ones. Effect on the acquisition and modification of a conditioned avoidance response in rats

By condensating ethyl pyruvate with 4-dialkylaminoalkyl-5-aminopyrimidine, obtained by hydrogenolysis of the corresponding 6-chloroderivatives, were prepared 3-methyl-6,8-diazaquinoxalinee-2(1H)-ones which carry on position 1 a tert-aminoalkyl chain (dimethylaminoethyl-, morpholinylethyl-, dimethylaminopropyl- and N-methylpiperazinylpropyl-). The synthetized compounds were tested to verify the effects on acquisition and modification of a conditioned avoidance response (C.A.R.) in rats. In these tests 1-dimethylaminoethyl-3-methyl-6,8-diazaquinoxalin-2(1H)-one, shows activity comparable with that of the cloropromazine.     

Dopamine receptor ligands. Part VII [1]: novel 3-substituted 5-phenyl-1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6-hexahydro-azepino-[4, 5-b]indoles as ligands for the dopamine receptors

A number of 5‐phenyl‐1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6‐hexahydro‐azepino‐[4, 5‐b]indoles 3 were synthesized with different substituents at the azepine‐N position (methyl‐, allyl‐, 2‐phenyl‐ethyl‐, cyclopropylmethyl‐ and unsubstituted). Furthermore, the indole‐N‐methylated compound was generated and by using norephedrines and norpseudoephedrines as a chiral pool, 4‐methyl‐5‐phenyl‐1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6‐hexahydro‐azepino‐[4, 5‐b]indoles were prepared which contained racemisation at the reacting C‐atom. These compounds, as well as the ring‐open amino‐alcohols, were screened for their affinity to the hD₁‐, hD₅‐, hD_2L‐, and hD₄‐receptors (ç please check sentence). They had micromolar affinities for the receptors and showed the highest affinity to the D₁‐subtype family. The cyclic compounds possessed the highest affinity, with the cyclopropylmethyl‐( 3c ) and methyl‐substituents ( 3e ) being the most active of the tested compounds. Based on an intracellular cAMP‐assay, the unsubstituted compound (at the azepine‐N position) turned out to be an agonist for the D₁‐and D₅‐subtype family, whereas the substituted compounds showed (partial) agonistic, or even inverse agonistic activity.
