Phenazine and its derivatives have been widely applied as nucleic acid cleavage agents due to active oxygen activating the C–H bond of the substrate. However, diffusion of oxygen radicals limits their potential applications in the DNA-targeted metal-free drug. Introduction of groove binder moiety such as polyamide enhanced the regional stability of radical molecules and reduced cytotoxicity of the drugs. In this work, we described the design and synthesis of a polyamide-modified phenazine-di-N-oxide as a DNA double-strand cleavage agent. The gel assays showed the hybrid conjugates can effectively break DNA double strands in a non-random manner under physiological conditions. The probable binding mode to DNA was investigated by sufficient spectral experiments, revealing weak interaction between hybrid ligand and nucleic acid molecules. The results of our study have implications on the design of groove-binding hybrid molecules as new artificial nucleases and may provide a strategy for developing efficient and safe DNA cleavage reagents.

Phosphodiesterase 10 (PDE10) inhibitors have received much attention as promising therapeutic agents for central nervous system (CNS) disorders such as schizophrenia and Huntington's disease. Recently, a hit compound 1 with a novel chromone scaffold has shown moderate inhibitory activity against PDE10A (IC50 = 500 nM). Hit-to-lead optimization has resulted in compound 3e with an improved inhibitory activity (IC50 = 6.5 nM), remarkable selectivity (>95-fold over other PDEs), and good metabolic stability (RLM t1/2 = 105 min) by using an integrated strategy (molecular modeling, chemical synthesis, bioassay, and cocrystal structure). The cocrystal structural information provides insights into the binding pattern of 3e in the PDE10A catalytic domain to highlight the key role of the halogen and hydrogen bonds toward Tyr524 and Tyr693, respectively, thereby resulting in high selectivity against other PDEs. These new observations are of benefit for the rational design of the next generation PDE10 inhibitors for CNS disorders.
