Docking of Glycokinase with Oxo, Sulfo, and Seleno Derivatives of the Carboxamide Activator S41

Inactivation of Glucokinase (GK) is associated with diabetes. Therefore, design of drugs targeting the GK activator site is currently integrated in the?strategy of the diabetes treatment.?The present work investigated the affinity of 30 ligands to GK based on molecular docking using the Gold 5.6 program. Glucokinase’s structure was derived from the Protein Data Bank (PDB Code?3S41), while the ligands were seleno, sulfo and oxo derivatives of the co-crystallized?carboxamide activator (PDB code:?S41). The results of the ligand-protein docking?revealed that GK formed thermodynamically stable complexes with all ligands. The main forces stabilizing the complexes are lipophilic interactions, enhanced by hydrogen bonds. Ligand molecular areas responsible for lipophilic and hydrogen bonding contacts with amino acid residues in the allosteric site of GK were evidenced by molecular electrostatic potentials (MEPs). Interestingly,?twelve of the S41 derivatives interacted with GK more strongly than the co-crystallized activator, while maintaining the lipophilic contacts with key amino acid residues like Arg63, which are catalytically crucial for?therapeutic properties of GK activators (GKAs).?It is noteworthy that divalent Se and S atoms were also involved in chalcogen bonds in the GKA site. Those bonds were nearly linear like hydrogen bonds. Such bond directionality should guide the design of pharmacophoric ligands containing chalcogen atoms.

a novel and promising antitumor target,AXL plays an important role in tumor growth,metastasis,immunosuppression and drug resistance of various malignancies,which has attracted extensive research interest in recent years.In this study,by employing the structure-based drug design and bioisosterism strategies,we designed and synthesized in total 54 novel AXL inhibitors featuring a fusedpyrazolone carboxamide scaffold,of which up to 20 compounds exhibited excellent AXL kinase and BaF3/TEL-AXL cell viability inhibitions.Notably,compound 59 showed a desirable AXL kinase inhibitory activity(IC_(50):3.5 nmol/L)as well as good kinase selectivity,and it effectively blocked the cellular AXL signaling.In turn,compound 59 could potently inhibit BaF3/TEL-AXL cell viability(IC_(50):1.5 nmol/L)and significantly suppress GAS6/AXL-mediated cancer cell invasion,migration and wound healing at the nanomolar level.More importantly,compound 59 oral administration showed good pharmacokinetic profile and in vivo antitumor efficiency,in which we observed significant AXL phosphorylation suppression,and its antitumor efficacy at 20 mg/kg(qd)was comparable to that of BGB324 at 50 mg/kg(bid),the most advanced AXL inhibitor.Taken together,this work provided a valuable lead compound as a potential AXL inhibitor for the further antitumor drug development.

A series of(R)-2-phenyl-4,5-dihydrothiazole-4-carboxamide derivatives containing a sulfur ether moiety were synthesized and characterized on the basis of NMR and elemental analysis(EA). The crystal structure of(R)-N-(2-methyl-1-(methylthio)propan-2-yl)-2-(4-nitrophenyl)-4,5-dihydrothiazole-4-carboxamide(13 d) was determined to show R configuration.

According to the established 3D-QSAR model, structure optimization was carried out to find(R)-N-((R)-1-(methylthio)propan-2-yl)-2-(p-tolyl)-4,5-dihydrothiazole-4-carboxamide(15 h)with excellent activity against Phytophthora capsici, thus emerging as a new lead compound for novel antiphytopathogenic fungus agent development.

Pyrazole carboxamide derivatives represent an important class of fungicides in agrochemicals. To find more novel structural pyrazole carboxamides, a novel series of 3-（trifluoromethyl）-lH-pyrazole-4-carboxamide compounds were prepared from ethyl 4,4,4-trifluoroace- toacetate and triethyl orthoformate as starting materials.

Characterization of inthomycin biosynthetic gene cluster revealing new insights into carboxamide formation

Inthomycins are polyketide antibiotics which contain a terminal carboxamide group and a triene chain. Inthomycin B(1) and its two new analogues 2 and 3 were isolated from the crude extract of Streptomyces pactum L8. Identification of the gene cluster for inthomycin biosynthesis as well as the ^(15)N-labeled glycine incorporation into inthomycins are described. Combined with the gene deletion of the rare P450 domain in the NRPS module, a formation mechanism of carboxamide moiety in inthomycins was proposed via an oxidative release of the assembly chain assisted by the P450 domain.

Twenty-seven novel pyrazole carboxamides with diarylamine-modified scaffold were designed,synthesized and characterized in detail via1 H NMR,^（13） C NMR, IR and ESI-HRMS. Preliminary bioassays showed that some of the target compounds exhibited good antifungal activity against Rhizoctonia solani,Rhizoctonia cerealis and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. Among them, compound 9c-7 exhibited the highest antifungal activities against R. solani, R. cerealis and S. sclerotiorum in vitro with IC_（50） values of 0.013, 1.608 and 1.874 mg/m L, respectively. Notably, compound 9c-7 still presented the highest fungicidal activities against R. solani in vivo with an IC_（50） value of 22.21 mg/m L. Molecular docking simulation results reveal that compound 9c-7 binds well to the hydrophobic pockets of the receptor protein succinate dehydrogenase. This study suggests that compound 9c-7 could act as a potential fungicide to be used for further optimization.

Molecular Modeling Studies of 4-Hydroxyamino α-Pyranone Carboxamide Analogues as Hepatitis C Virus Inhibitor Using 3D-QSAR and Molecular Docking

In this paper, 42 4-hydroxyamino α-pyranone carboxamide analogues as Hepatitis C Virus(HCV) inhibitor 3 D-QSAR model was built based on Topomer CoMFA. The non-cross-validation(r2), cross-validation(q2), correlation coefficient of external validation(Q ext2), non-cross validated standard error(SD), standard error of prediction(SDCV) and F are 0.909, 0.615, 0.967, 0.13, 0.28 and 37.287, respectively. The obtained Topomer CoMFA model has good estimation stability and prediction capability. Topomer Search was employed as a tool for virtual screening in lead-like compounds in the ZINC database. Then, 6 R1 groups and 4 R2 groups with higher contribution values were employed to alternately substitute for the R1 and R2 of the template compound 21 with the highest bioactivity. As a result, 22 new molecules with higher activity than that of the template molecule were designed successfully. The Topomer Search technology could be effectively applied to screen and design new 4-hydroxyamino α-pyranone carboxamide analogues. The molecular docking method was also used to study the interactions of these drugs by docking the ligands into HCV active site, which revealed the likely bioactive conformations. This study showed extensive interactions between the 4-hydroxyamino α-pyranone carboxamide analogues and the active sites of HCV(residues TYR466, GLN384, TYR383 and ASP335). The design of potent new inhibitors of HCV can get useful insights from these results.

Discovery of N-benzyl hydroxypyridone carboxamides as a novel and potent antiviral chemotype against human cytomegalovirus (HCMV)

Current drugs for treating human cytomegalovirus(HCMV)infections are limited by resistance and treatment-associated toxicities.In developing mechanistically novel HCMV antivirals,we discovered an N-benzyl hydroxypyridone carboxamide antiviral hit(8a)inhibiting HCMV in submicromolar range.We describe herein the structure–activity relationship(SAR)for 8a,and the characterization of potent analogs for cytotoxicity/cytostatic property,the preliminary mechanism of action,and the absorption,distribution,metabolism and excretion(ADME)properties.The SAR revealed a few pharmacophore features conferring optimal antiviral profile,including the 5-OH,the N-1 benzyl,at least one–CH_(2)−in the linker,and a di-halogen substituted phenyl ring in the amide moiety.In the end,we identified numerous analogs with sub-micromolar antiviral potency and good selectivity index.The preliminary mechanism of action characterization used a pUL89-C biochemical endonuclease assay,a virus entry assay,a time-of-addition assay,and a compound withdrawal assay.ADME profiling measuring aqueous solubility,plasma and liver microsomal stability,and parallel artificial membrane permeability assay(PAMPA)permeability demonstrated largely favorable drug-like properties.Together,these studies validate the N-benzyl hydroxypyridone carboxamide as a viable chemotype for potent and mechanistically distinct antivirals against HCMV.
