- Impact of Scaffold Exploration on Novel Dual-Acting Histone Deacetylases and Phosphodiesterase 5 Inhibitors for the Treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease
-
A novel systems therapeutics approach, involving simultaneous inhibition of phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) and histone deacetylase (HDAC), has been validated as a potentially novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). First-in-class dual inhibitors bearing a sildenafil core have been very recently reported, and the lead molecule 7 has proven this strategy in AD animal models. Because scaffolds may play a critical role in primary activities and ADME-Tox profiling as well as on intellectual property, we have explored alternative scaffolds (vardenafil- and tadalafil-based cores) and evaluated their impact on critical parameters such as primary activities, permeability, toxicity, and in vivo (pharmacokinetics and functional response in hippocampus) to identify a potential alternative lead molecule bearing a different chemotype for in vivo testing.

- The discovery of tadalafil: A novel and highly selective PDE5 inhibitor. 2: 2,3,6,7,12,12a-Hexahydropyrazino[1′,2′ :1,6]pyrido[3,4-b]indole-1,4-dione analogues
-
Modification of the hydantoin ring in the previously described lead compound 2a has led to the discovery of compound 12a, tadalafil, a highly potent and highly selective PDE5 inhibitor. The replacement of the hydantoin in compound 2a by a piperazinedione ring led to compound cis-11a which showed similar PDE5 inhibitory potency. Introduction of a 3,4-methylenedioxy substitution on the phenyl ring in position 6 led to a potent PDE5 inhibitor cis-11c with increased cellular potency. Optimization of the chain on the piperazinedione ring led to the identification of the racemic cis-N-methyl derivative 11i. High diastereospecificity for PDE5 inhibition was observed in the piperazinedione series with the cis-(6R,12aR) enantiomer displaying the highest PDE5 inhibitory activity. The piperazinedione 12a, tadalafil (GF196960), has been identified as a highly potent PDE5 inhibitor (IC50 = 5 nM) with high selectivity for PDE5 vs PDE1-4 and PDE6. Compound 12a displays 85-fold greater selectivity vs PDE6 than sildenafil 1. 12a showed profound and long-lasting blood pressure lowering activity (30 mmHg/>7 h) in the spontaneously hypertensive rat model after oral administration (5 mg/kg).

- Highly stereoselective Pictet-Spengler reaction of d-tryptophan methyl ester with piperonal: convenient syntheses of Cialis (Tadalafil), 12a-epi-Cialis, and their deuterated analogues
-
The acid-catalyzed Pictet-Spengler reaction of d-tryptophan methyl ester with piperonal in acetic acid has been reported, the best stereoselectivity (cis/trans = 92:8) was obtained with benzoic acid as the catalyst. The Pictet-Spengler reaction of d-tryptophan methyl ester hydrochloride with piperonal in various solvents has been extensively studied, the solvent-dependence of stereoselectivities could be principally attributed to the solubility-difference between cis and trans products 5-HCl in the used solvent, the best stereoselectivity (cis/trans = 99:1) was obtained using nitromethane or acetonitrile as the solvent. A base-catalyzed epimerization at 12a-position of Cialis 1 (tadalafil) in a DMSO-containing solvent was also exploited. Cialis, 12a-epi-Cialis 2, deuterium-labeled 3,3,12a-d3-Cialis 3, and 3,3,12a-d3-12a-epi-Cialis 4 were efficiently synthesized from d-tryptophan methyl ester hydrochloride.

- Discovery of in Vivo Chemical Probes for Treating Alzheimer's Disease: Dual Phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) and Class i Histone Deacetylase Selective Inhibitors
-
In order to determine the contributions of histone deacetylase (HDAC) isoforms to the beneficial effects of dual phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) and pan-HDAC inhibitors on in vivo models of Alzheimer's disease (AD), we have designed, synthesized, and tested novel chemical probes with the desired target compound profile of PDE5 and class I HDAC selective inhibitors. Compared to previous hydroxamate-based series, these molecules exhibit longer residence times on HDACs. In this scenario, shorter or longer preincubation times may have a significant impact on the IC50 values of these compounds and therefore on their corresponding selectivity profiles on the different HDAC isoforms. On the other hand, different chemical series have been explored and, as expected, some pairwise comparisons show a clear impact of the scaffold on biological responses (e.g., 35a vs 40a). The lead identification process led to compound 29a, which shows an adequate ADME-Tox profile and in vivo target engagement (histone acetylation and cAMP/cGMP response element-binding (CREB) phosphorylation) in the central nervous system (CNS), suggesting that this compound represents an optimized chemical probe; thus, 29a has been assayed in a mouse model of AD (Tg2576).

- Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation of Orally Available First-Generation Dual-Target Selective Inhibitors of Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and Phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) for the Treatment of Alzheimer's Disease
-
Through drug discovery strategies of repurposing and redeveloping existing drugs, a series of novel tadalafil derivatives were rationally designed, synthesized, and evaluated to seek dual-target AChE/PDE5 inhibitors as good candidate drugs for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Among these derivatives, 1p and 1w exhibited excellent selective dual-target AChE/PDE5 inhibitory activities and improved blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetrability. Importantly, 1w·Cit (citrate of 1w) could reverse the cognitive dysfunction of scopolamine-induced AD mice and exhibited an excellent effect on enhancing cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) phosphorylation in vivo, a crucial factor in memory formation and synaptic plasticity. Moreover, the molecular docking simulations of 1w with hAChE and hPDE5A confirmed that our design strategy was rational. In summary, our research provides a potential selective dual-target AChE/PDE5 inhibitor as a good candidate drug for the treatment of AD, and it could also be regarded as a small molecule probe to validate the novel AD therapeutic approach in vivo.

- Drug to genome to drug: Discovery of new antiplasmodial compounds
-
Figure Presented. The dominant strategy for discovery of new antimalarial drugs relies on cell-free assays on specific biochemical pathways of Plasmodium falciparum. However, it appears that screening directly on the parasite is a more rewarding approach. The drug to genome to drug approach consists of testing a small set of structural analogues of a drug acting on human proteins that have plasmodial orthologues. Both man and plasmodium possess cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs) that are key players of cell homeostasis. We synthesized and tested 40 analogues of tadalafil, a human PDE5 inhibitor, on P. falciparum in culture and obtained potent inhibitors of parasite growth. We discuss the structure-activity relationships, which support the hypothesis that our compounds kill the parasite via inhibition of plasmodial PDE activity. We also prove that antiplasmodial derivatives inhibit the hydrolysis of cyclic nucleotides of the parasite, validating the cAMP/cGMP pathways as therapeutic targets against Plasmodium falciparum.
