This drug should possess neurotrophic activity and not affect the immune system. Based on the crystal structure of FKBP12, FK506 and Calcineurin complex, a series of small organic molecules were designed. These molecules were to have the ability of binding to FKBP12 in a virtual screening. By using a solution parallel synthetic method, these compounds were synthesized. The neuroprotective and neuroregenerative activities of these compounds were evaluated by binding assays, PC12 cells survival and neurite outgrowth model, chick dorsal root ganglion cultures (DRG) and 6-OHDA lesioned mice sympathetic nerve endings model. The evaluation results of these compounds showed that compound N308 has great promise as a candidate for a neuroprotective and neuroregenerative agent.展开更多

The crystal structure has been determined by X-ray single-crystal diffraction. The crystal belongs to monoclinic, space group P2 1/c with a = 8.982(2), b = 17.908(4), c = 13.219(3) A, β= 96.981(4)°, Z = 4, V= 2110.6(8) A^3, Dc = 1.347 g/cm^3, μ(MoKa) = 12.23 cm^-1, F(000) = 880, R = 0.0497 and wR = 0.1263. In the molecular structure of the title complex, the tin atoms are five-coordinated in a distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry. A one-dimensional linear polymer is formed through an interaction between the O atoms of pyridine-3-carboxylic acid N-oxide and tin atoms of an adjacent molecule.展开更多
