Abstract : Compounds comprising a series of 7-[2-(4-fluorophenyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-2H-indazol-3-yl]-3,5- dihydroxy-6-heptenoic acid sodium salts (18) were synthesized and tested for their ability to inhibit HMG-CoA reductase in a partially purified enzyme preparation and cholesterol biosynthesis from acetate in cultured HEP-G2 cells. Changing the size of the saturated ring of the tetrahydroindazole nucleus did not improve potency, but incorporation of substituents at the 7-position resulted in up to 1700-fold improvement in inhibitory potency. Structure-activity studies revealed that the most potent compounds possess a substituted benzyl group at the 7-position, with a preference for steric bulk at the para position of the benzene ring. The most potent enzyme inhibitor (18t, IC50 = 3.0 nM) is approximately 3-fold more potent than lovastin sodium salt (2). The most potent cholesterol biosynthesis inhibitor in HEP-G2 cells (18q, IC50 = 0.078 microM) is slightly less potent than 2 (sodium salt). Molecular modeling studies suggested that, when compared to the parent compound (18b) lacking the appropriate 7-substituent, 18t overlaps better with 2 and literature inhibitors 5 and 6 in a hydrophobic binding region adjacent to the enzyme active site.

Abstract : To increase hepatoselectivity of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors by using the specific bile acid transport systems, deoxycholic acid-derived inhibitors 9 and 11 have been synthesized, on the basis of the concept of combining in one molecule structural requirements for specific inhibition of the HMG-CoA reductase and specific recognition by the ileal bile acid transport system. The 1-methyl-3-carboxylpropyl subunit of deoxycholic acid was replaced by the 3,5-dihydroxyheptanoic acid lactone of lovastatin, and position 12-OH was esterified with 2-methylbutyric acid. Compounds 9 and 11 were evaluated for their inhibitory activity on rat liver HMG-CoA reductase, cholesterol biosynthesis in HEP G2 cells, and [3H]taurocholate uptake in rabbit brush border membrane vesicles and compared with methyl derivatives 8 and 10. The steroidal 21-CH3 group affects both activity on HMG-CoA reductase and recognition by the ileal bile acid transport system.

Abstract : A group of 43 optically active sodium carboxylates (11a-qq and the corresponding lactones 4 were prepared from respective phenols 8 according to Schemes I-III. Phenols 8 were synthesized from commercially available compounds according to Schemes IV-IX. A number of these HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors 11 exceeded mevinolin's activity in vitro (Tables II and III). Selected lactones 4 effectively inhibited hepatic "de novo" cholesterol synthesis in rats in vivo (Table IV). After po administration to rabbits, 4ff(11ff), 4hh, and notably 11jj reduced plasma cholesterol levels more potently than mevinolin (Table V). Whereas 4ff(11ff) displayed the slight superiority expected according to in vitro data, 4hh and 11jj were considerably more potent than expected. Each of these compounds had only moderate activity after po administration to dogs (Table VI). Compound di-11ii, a hybrid of the structural elements of probucol and HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, after po administration to rats decreased serum lipoproteins and increased HDL/LDL ratio better than probucol (Table VII). HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor 11ll and phenolic building blocks 8, notably 8jj and 8kk, inhibited LDL oxidation in vitro (Table VIII). Chemical structure-activity relationships (Table IX) and the pharmacological profile of phenoxy-type inhibitors 11 diverged from those of known HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors.

Abstract : The total synthesis of the novel hydroxylated HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor dihydroeptastatin (7) is described. The key C-3 hydroxyl group is introduced via a Baeyer-Villiger reaction on the methyl ketone 17 which is obtained in three high-yielding steps from the known tricyclic lactone 12. In an isolated enzyme assay dihydroeptastatin had a similar IC50 to mevinolin but in cellular assays using Hep G2 and HES 9 cell lines, dihydroeptastatin was much less potent. No selectivity between the two cell lines was observed.

Abstract : A series of N-heteroaryl-substituted mevalonolactones were prepared and evaluated for their ability to inhibit the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase both in vitro and in vivo, and to lower plasma cholesterol in a hypercholesterolemic dog model. The goal of the strategy employed was to design an inhibitor which possessed the pharmacological properties of lovastatin (1), and the physicochemical properties (increased hydrophilicity) of pravastatin (2). Two compounds 20a and 20b, were more potent than lovastatin at inhibiting cholesterol biosynthesis both in vitro and in vivo. In terms of plasma cholesterol lowering, 20a was much more efficacious than lovastatin. In addition to possessing increased biological activity, these compounds are significantly less lipophilic than lovastatin, in fact, 20b has a CLOGP value comparable to pravastatin.

Abstract : A series of substituted quinoline mevalonolactones were prepared and evaluated for their ability to inhibit the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase both in vitro and (cholesterol biosynthesis) in vivo. Since previous studies suggested that the 4-(4-fluorophenyl) and 2-(1-methylethyl) substituents afforded optimum potency, attention was focused on variations at position 6 of the quinoline ring. Biological evaluation of a small number of analogues bearing a variety of 6-substituents showed that modification at this position had little effect on potency. Several compounds (8b, 8e, and 11) were identified that showed comparable potency to compactin and mevinolin in both the in vitro and in vivo assays.

Maintaining a 5-(1-methylethyl) substituent found to be optimal in related studies, structure-activity relationships were established for compounds modified at positions 2, 3, and 4 of the pyrrole ring. The 4-fluorophenyl group was preferred at the pyrrole 2-position, while incorporation of a range of substituted phenyl groups and pyridyl substituents at the 3-position provided compounds with equivalent enzyme inhibitory activities and widely different lipophilicities. Pentasubstituted pyrrole 3h was found to have a 10-fold greater potency than lovastatin.

Abstract : A series of 9,9-bis(4-fluorophenyl)-3,5-dihydroxy-8-(alkyltetrazol-5-yl)- 6,8-nonadienoic acid derivatives 1 were synthesized and found to inhibit competitively the enzyme 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase. The analogues having 1N-methyltetrazol-5-yl attached to the C8-position (3a, 4a, R1 = R2 = F) are the most active in suppressing cholesterol biosynthesis in both in vitro and in vivo models: the IC50 for the chiral form of 3a is 19 nM, Ki = 4.3 x 10(-9)M when Km for HMG-CoA is 28 x 10(-6) M;1 the ED50 (oral) value corresponding to the lactone derivative (4a, BMY 22089) is approximately 0.1 mg/kg. Further, BMY 21950 is nearly 2 orders of magnitude more active in parenchymal heptaocytes, from which most of the serum cholesterol originates, than in other cell preparations (such as spleen, testes, ileum, adrenal, and ocular lens epithelial cells; Table III). This apparent tissue specificity may be highly beneficial since the blocking of cholesterol biosynthesis in other vital organs could eventually lead to undesirable side effects. In addition to the chemical synthesis and biological evaluation, a theoretical study aimed at relating the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitory potency to the three-dimensional structure of the inhibitors was undertaken. With a combination of molecular mapping and 3D-QSAR techniques, it was possible to determine a logical candidate for the conformation of the bound inhibitor and to quantitatively relate inhibitory potency to the shape and size of both the binding site and the C8-substituent.

Abstract : A series of substituted quinoline mevalonolactones were prepared and evaluated for their ability to inhibit the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase both in vitro and (cholesterol biosynthesis) in vivo. Since previous studies suggested that the 4-(4-fluorophenyl) and 2-(1-methylethyl) substituents afforded optimum potency, attention was focused on variations at position 6 of the quinoline ring. Biological evaluation of a small number of analogues bearing a variety of 6-substituents showed that modification at this position had little effect on potency. Several compounds (8b, 8e, and 11) were identified that showed comparable potency to compactin and mevinolin in both the in vitro and in vivo assays.

Abstract : A series of N-heteroaryl-substituted mevalonolactones were prepared and evaluated for their ability to inhibit the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase both in vitro and in vivo, and to lower plasma cholesterol in a hypercholesterolemic dog model. The goal of the strategy employed was to design an inhibitor which possessed the pharmacological properties of lovastatin (1), and the physicochemical properties (increased hydrophilicity) of pravastatin (2). Two compounds 20a and 20b, were more potent than lovastatin at inhibiting cholesterol biosynthesis both in vitro and in vivo. In terms of plasma cholesterol lowering, 20a was much more efficacious than lovastatin. In addition to possessing increased biological activity, these compounds are significantly less lipophilic than lovastatin, in fact, 20b has a CLOGP value comparable to pravastatin.

Abstract : Inhibitors of Ras farnesyl-protein transferase are described. These are reduced pseudopeptides related to the C-terminal tetrapeptide of the Ras protein that signals farnesylation. Deletion of the carbonyl groups between the first two residues of the tetrapeptides either preserves or improves activity, depending on the peptide sequence. The most potent in vitro enzyme inhibitor described (IC50 = 5 nM) is Cys [psi CH2NH]Ile[psi CH2NH]Phe-Met (3). To obtain compounds able to suppress Ras farnesylation in cell culture, further structural modification to include a homoserine lactone prodrug was required. Compound 18 (Cys[psi CH2NH]Ile[psi CH2NH]Ile-homoserine lactone) reduced the extent of Ras farnesylation by 50% in NIH3T3 fibroblasts in culture at a concentration of 50 microM. Structure-activity studies also led to 12 (Cys[psi CH2NH]Val-Ile-Leu), a potent and selective inhibitor of a related enzyme, the type-I geranylgeranyl protein transferase.

Abstract : Eight alkamides 1-8 were isolated by bioassay-guided isolation of EtOH extracts of the fruits of Piper longum and Piper nigum (Piperaceae). Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis ((1)H, (13)C NMR, and ESI-MS) as follows: guineensine (1), retrofracamide C (2), (2E,4Z,8E)-N-[9-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)-2,4,8-nonatrienoyl]piperidine (3), pipernonaline (4), piperrolein B (5), piperchabamide D (6), pellitorin (7), and dehydropipernonaline (8). Their compounds 3-5, 7, and 8 inhibited potently the direct binding between sICAM-1 and LFA-1 of THP-1 cells in a dose-dependent manner, with IC(50) values of 10.7, 8.8, 13.4, 13.5, and 6.0 microg/mL, respectively.

Abstract : PURPOSE: CYP3A and P-gp both function to reduce the intracellular concentration of drug substrates, one by metabolism and the other by transmembrane efflux. Moreover, it has been serendipitously noted that the two proteins have many common substrates and inhibitors. In order to test this notion more fully, systematic studies were undertaken to determine the P-gp-mediated transport and inhibitory characteristics of prototypical CYP substrates. METHODS: L-MDR1, LLC-PK1, and Caco-2 cells were used to evaluate established CYP substrates as potential P-gp substrates and inhibitors in vitro, and mdr1a deficient mice were used to assess the in vivo relevance of P-gp-mediated transport. RESULTS: Some (terfenadine, erythromycin and lovastatin) but not all (nifedipine and midazolam) CYP3A substrates were found to be P-gp substrates. Except for debrisoquine, none of the prototypical substrates of other common human CYP isoforms were transported by P-gp. Studies in mdr1a disrupted mice confirmed that erythromycin was a P-gp substrate but the CYP3A-inhibitor ketoconazole was not. In addition, CYP3A substrates and inhibitors varied widely in their ability to inhibit the P-gp-mediated transport of digoxin. CONCLUSIONS: These results indicate that the overlap in substrate specificities of CYP3A and P-gp appears to be fortuitous rather than indicative of a more fundamental relationship.

Title : OATP and P-glycoprotein transporters mediate the cellular uptake and excretion of fexofenadine.

Authors : Cvetkovic M, Leake B, Fromm MF, Wilkinson GR, Kim RB.
Abstract : Fexofenadine, a nonsedating antihistamine, does not undergo significant metabolic biotransformation. Accordingly, it was hypothesized that uptake and efflux transporters could be importantly involved in the drug's disposition. Utilizing a recombinant vaccinia expression system, members of the organic anion transporting polypeptide family, such as the human organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) and rat organic anion transporting polypeptides 1 and 2 (Oatp1 and Oatp2), were found to mediate [(14)C]fexofenadine cellular uptake. On the other hand, the bile acid transporter human sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP) and the rat organic cation transporter rOCT1 did not exhibit such activity. P-glycoprotein (P-gp) was identified as a fexofenadine efflux transporter, using the LLC-PK1 cell, a polarized epithelial cell line lacking P-gp, and the derivative cell line (L-MDR1), which overexpresses P-gp. In addition, oral and i.v. administration of [(14)C]fexofenadine to mice lacking mdr1a-encoded P-gp resulted in 5- and 9-fold increases in the drug's plasma and brain levels, respectively, compared with wild-type mice. Also, a number of drug inhibitors of P-gp were found to be effective inhibitors of OATP. Because OATP transporters and P-gp colocalize in organs of importance to drug disposition such as the liver, their activity provides an explanation for the heretofore unknown mechanism(s) responsible for fexofenadine's disposition and suggests potentially similar roles in the disposition of other xenobiotics.

Abstract : The hepatic organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATPs) influence the pharmacokinetics of several drug classes and are involved in many clinical drug-drug interactions. Predicting potential interactions with OATPs is, therefore, of value. Here, we developed in vitro and in silico models for identification and prediction of specific and general inhibitors of OATP1B1, OATP1B3, and OATP2B1. The maximal transport activity (MTA) of each OATP in human liver was predicted from transport kinetics and protein quantification. We then used MTA to predict the effects of a subset of inhibitors on atorvastatin uptake in vivo. Using a data set of 225 drug-like compounds, 91 OATP inhibitors were identified. In silico models indicated that lipophilicity and polar surface area are key molecular features of OATP inhibition. MTA predictions identified OATP1B1 and OATP1B3 as major determinants of atorvastatin uptake in vivo. The relative contributions to overall hepatic uptake varied with isoform specificities of the inhibitors.

The maximal transport activity (MTA) of each OATP in human liver was predicted from transport kinetics and protein quantification. We then used MTA to predict the effects of a subset of inhibitors on atorvastatin uptake in vivo. Using a data set of 225 drug-like compounds, 91 OATP inhibitors were identified. In silico models indicated that lipophilicity and polar surface area are key molecular features of OATP inhibition. MTA predictions identified OATP1B1 and OATP1B3 as major determinants of atorvastatin uptake in vivo. The relative contributions to overall hepatic uptake varied with isoform specificities of the inhibitors.

Abstract : A series of dual-action compounds were designed to target histone deacetylase (HDAC) and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (HMGR) by having a hydroxamate group essential for chelation with the zinc ion in the active site of HDAC and the key structural elements of statin for binding with both proteins. In our study, the statin hydroxamic acids prepared by a fused strategy are most promising in cancer treatments. These compounds showed potent inhibitory activities against HDACs and HMGR with IC50 values in the nanomolar range. These compounds also effectively reduced the HMGR activity as well as promoted the acetylations of histone and tubulin in cancer cells, but were not toxic to normal cells.

Abstract : Several recent studies show that inhibition of the hepatic transport proteins organic anion-transporting polypeptide 1B1 (OATP1B1) and 1B3 (OATP1B3) can result in clinically relevant drug-drug interactions (DDI). To avoid late-stage development drug failures due to OATP1B-mediated DDI, predictive in vitro and in silico methods should be implemented at an early stage of the drug candidate evaluation process. In the present study, we first developed a high-throughput in vitro transporter inhibition assay for the OATP1B subfamily. A total of 2000 compounds were tested as potential modulators of the uptake of the OATP1B substrate sodium fluorescein, in OATP1B1- or 1B3-transfected Chinese hamster ovary cells. At an equimolar substrate-inhibitor concentration of 10 µM, 212 and 139 molecules were identified as OATP1B1 and OATP1B3 inhibitors, respectively (minimum 50% inhibition). For 69 compounds, previously not identified as OATP1B inhibitors, concentration-dependent inhibition was also determined, yielding Ki values ranging from 0.06 to 6.5 µM. Based on these in vitro data, we subsequently developed a proteochemometrics-based in silico model, which predicted OATP1B inhibitors in the test group (20% of the dataset) with high specificity (86%) and sensitivity (78%). Moreover, several physicochemical compound properties and substructures related to OATP1B1/1B3 inhibition or inactivity were identified. Finally, model performance was prospectively verified with a set of 54 compounds not included in the original dataset. This validation indicated that 80 and 74% of the compounds were correctly classified for OATP1B1 and OATP1B3 inhibition, respectively.

Abstract : Three new lovastatin analogues (1, 4, and 5) together with four known lovastatin derivatives, namely, lovastatin (2), α,β-dehydrolovastatin (3), α,β-dehydrodihydromonacolin K (6), and α,β-dehydro-4a,5-dihydromonacolin L (7), were isolated from the soil-derived fungus Aspergillus sclerotiorum PSU-RSPG178. Their structures were established using spectroscopic evidence. Compound 5 exhibited the most potent activity against HMG-CoA reductase, with an IC50 value of 387 μM. In addition, the present study indicated the direct interaction of compound 5 with HMG-CoA reductase. Compound 5 was considered to be noncytotoxic against noncancerous Vero cells, with an IC50 value of 40.0 μM, whereas compound 2 displayed much stronger activity, with an IC50 value of 2.2 μM.

Title : Natural-Products-Inspired Use of the gem-Dimethyl Group in Medicinal Chemistry.
Year : 2018

Issue : 6
First Page : 2166

Authors : Talele TT.
Abstract : The gem-dimethyl moiety is a structural feature frequently found in many natural products of clinical interest, including, but not limited to, taxanes, epothilones, statins, retinoids, di-/triterpenes, noviose deoxysugar, and antibiotics derived from β-lactams, macrolides, and aminocoumarins. Inspired by this time-tested moiety, medicinal chemists have widely explored its use in developing bioactive molecules because of the possibility to (1) increase target engagement, potency, and selectivity through van der Waals interactions and entropically favorable restriction to a bioactive conformation, (2) mitigate toxicity, (3) obtain superior DMPK profile, (4) modulate the p Ka of nearby functionality, (5) induce symmetry into a monomethyl substituted chiral center, and (6) apply the Thorpe-Ingold conformational effect in an o-hydroxydihydrocinnamic acid based prodrug design. The aim of this Perspective is to illustrate how medicinal chemists have elegantly employed the gem-dimethyl group to obtain clinically useful drugs and to provide synthetic methods to install a gem-dimethyl group.

Abstract : To identify possible candidates for progression towards clinical studies against SARS-CoV-2, we screened a well-defined collection of 5632 compounds including 3488 compounds which have undergone clinical investigations (marketed drugs, phases 1 -3, and withdrawn) across 600 indications. Compounds were screened for their inhibition of viral induced cytotoxicity using the human epithelial colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line Caco-2 and a SARS-CoV-2 isolate. The primary screen of 5632 compounds gave 271 hits. A total of 64 compounds with IC50 <20 µM were identified, including 19 compounds with IC50 < 1 µM. Of this confirmed hit population, 90% have not yet been previously reported as active against SARS-CoV-2 in-vitro cell assays. Some 37 of the actives are launched drugs, 19 are in phases 1-3 and 10 pre-clinical. Several inhibitors were associated with modulation of host pathways including kinase signaling P53 activation, ubiquitin pathways and PDE activity modulation, with long chain acyl transferases were effective viral inhibitors.

Abstract : Compound repurposing is an important strategy being pursued in the identification of effective treatment against the SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 disease. In this regard, SARS-CoV-2 main protease (M-Pro), also termed 3CL-Pro, is an attractive drug target as it plays a central role in viral replication by processing the viral polyprotein into 11 non-structural proteins. We report the results of a screening campaign involving ca 8.7 K compounds containing marketed drugs, clinical and preclinical candidates, and chemicals regarded as safe in humans. We confirmed previously reported inhibitors of 3CL-Pro, but we have also identified 68 compounds with IC50 lower than 1 uM and 127 compounds with IC50 lower than 5 uM. Profiling showed 67% of confirmed hits were selective (> 5 fold) against other Cys- and Ser- proteases (Chymotrypsin and Cathepsin-L) and MERS 3CL-Pro. Selected compounds were also analysed in their binding characteristics.

Abstract : Worldwide, there are intensive efforts to identify repurposed drugs as potential therapies against SARS-CoV-2 infection and the associated COVID-19 disease. To date, the anti-inflammatory drug dexamethasone and (to a lesser extent) the RNA-polymerase inhibitor remdesivir have been shown to be effective in reducing mortality and patient time to recovery, respectively, in patients. Here, we report the results of a phenotypic screening campaign within an EU-funded project (H2020-EXSCALATE4COV) aimed at extending the repertoire of anti-COVID therapeutics through repurposing of available compounds and highlighting compounds with new mechanisms of action against viral infection. We screened 8702 molecules from different repurposing libraries, to reveal 110 compounds with an anti-cytopathic IC50 < 20 µM. From this group, 18 with a safety index greater than 2 are also marketed drugs, making them suitable for further study as potential therapies against COVID-19. Our result supports the idea that a systematic approach to repurposing is a valid strategy to accelerate the necessary drug discovery process.
