- Novel Allosteric Inhibitors of Deoxyhypusine Synthase against Malignant Melanoma: Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation
-
Based on the novel allosteric site of deoxyhypusine synthase (DHPS), two series of 30 novel 5-(2-methoxyphenoxy)-2-phenylpyrimidin-4-amine derivatives as DHPS inhibitors were designed and synthesized. Among them, compound8m, with the best DHPS inhibitory potency (IC50= 0.014 μM), exhibited excellent inhibition against melanoma cells, which was superior to that of GC7. Besides, molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations further proved that compound8mwas tightly bound to the allosteric site of DHPS. Flow cytometric analysis and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) showed that compound8mcould inhibit the intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) level. Furthermore, by western blot analysis, compound8meffectively activated caspase 3 and decreased the expressions of GP-100, tyrosinase, eIF5A2, MMP2, and MMP9. Moreover, both Transwell analysis and wound healing analysis showed that compound8mcould inhibit the invasion and migration of melanoma cells. In thein vivostudy, the tumor xenograft model showed that compound8meffectively inhibited melanoma development with low toxicity.

- Silver-catalyzed [3+2+1] annulation of aryl amidines with benzyl isocyanide
-
A silver-catalyzed [3+2+1] annulation of amidines with benzyl isocyanide toward 2,4-diaryl-1,3,5-triazines was developed. A variety of symmetrical and unsymmetrical products were obtained in moderate to good yields. This work also features an oxidant-free approach to 2,4-disubstituted triazines.

- Preparation technique of dabigatran methanesulfonate
-
The invention discloses a preparation technique of dabigatran methanesulfonate. The technique comprises the following steps: 1) by using a compound I and glycine as raw materials, carrying out condensation and salification to obtain a compound II; 2) by using p-halobenzonitrile (III) as a raw material, synthesizing p-halobenzamidine (IV) under the actions of a catalyst and an aminating agent, and carrying out condensation on the p-halobenzamidine (IV) and n-hexyl chloroacetate to obtain a compound V; and 3) carrying out condensation and salification on the compound V and the compound II to obtain the dabigatran methanesulfonate. The synthesis method has the advantages of mild reaction conditions for each step and high selectivity, and is simple to operate. The dabigatran methanesulfonate has high yield and purity. The technique has the advantages of less discharge of three wastes and environment friendliness, does not need column chromatography purification, and is suitable for industrial production.

- Structure-based design, synthesis and evaluation in vitro of arylnaphthyridinones, arylpyridopyrimidinones and their tetrahydro derivatives as inhibitors of the tankyrases
-
Abstract The tankyrases are members of the PARP superfamily; they poly(ADP-ribosyl)ate their target proteins using NAD+ as a source of electrophilic ADP-ribosyl units. The three principal protein substrates of the tankyrases (TRF1, NuMA and axin) are involved in replication of cancer cells; thus inhibitors of the tankyrases may have anticancer activity. Using structure-based drug design and by analogy with known 3-arylisoquinolin-1-one and 2-arylquinazolin-4-one inhibitors, series of arylnaphthyridinones, arylpyridinopyrimidinones and their tetrahydro-derivatives were synthesised and evaluated in vitro. 7-Aryl-1,6-naphthyridin-5-ones, 3-aryl-2,6-naphthyridin-1-ones and 3-aryl-2,7-naphthyridin-1-ones were prepared by acid-catalysed cyclisation of the corresponding arylethynylpyridinenitriles or reaction of bromopyridinecarboxylic acids with β-diketones, followed by treatment with NH3. The 7-aryl-1,6-naphthyridin-5-ones were methylated at 1-N and reduced to 7-aryl-1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1,6-naphthyridin-5-ones. Cu-catalysed reaction of benzamidines with bromopyridinecarboxylic acids furnished 2-arylpyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-ones. Condensation of benzamidines with methyl 1-benzyl-4-oxopiperidine-3-carboxylate and deprotection gave 2-aryl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidin-4-ones, aza analogues of the known inhibitor XAV939. Introduction of the ring-N in the arylnaphthyridinones and the arylpyridopyrimidinones caused >1000-fold loss in activity, compared with their carbocyclic isoquinolinone and quinazolinone analogues. However, the 7-aryl-1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1,6-naphthyridin-5-ones showed excellent inhibition of the tankyrases, with some examples having IC50 = 2 nM. One compound (7-(4-bromophenyl)-1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1,6-naphthyridin-5-one) showed 70-fold selectivity for inhibition of tankyrase-2 versus tankyrase-1. The mode of binding was explored through crystal structures of inhibitors in complex with tankyrase-2.

- Electrochemical and mARC-catalyzed enzymatic reduction of para-substituted benzamidoximes: Consequences for the prodrug concept "amidoximes instead of amidines"
-
The mitochondrial amidoxime reducing component (mARC) activates amidoxime prodrugs by reduction to the corresponding amidine drugs. This study analyzes relationships between the chemical structure of the prodrug and its metabolic activation and compares its enzyme-mediated vs. electrochemical reduction. The enzyme kinetic parameters KM and Vmax for the N-reduction of ten para-substituted derivatives of the model compound benzamidoxime were determined by incubation with recombinant proteins and subcellular fractions from pig liver followed by quantification of the metabolites by HPLC. A clear influence of the substituents at position 4 on the chemical properties of the amidoxime function was confirmed by correlation analyses of 1H NMR chemical shifts and the redox potentials of the 4-substituted benzamidoximes with Hammett's σ. However, no clear relationship between the kinetic parameters for the enzymatic reduction and Hammett's σ or the lipophilicity could be found. It is thus concluded that these properties as well as the redox potential of the amidoxime can be largely ignored during the development of new amidoxime prodrugs, at least regarding prodrug activation.
