RESUMEN

Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is associated with an imbalance in the functioning of the stimulating neurotransmitter systems in human's brain. We studied the safety and therapeutic efficacy of aviandr, the new noradrenergic and specific serotonergic antidepressant, for GAD patients in the phase II, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, multicenter, pilot trial at 17 clinical sites of the Russian Federation. 129 eligible patients were 18 years and older and met the criteria for GAD diagnosis. The patients were randomly assigned (1:1:1) to receive oral aviandr at daily dose of 40 mg (cohort 1, n = 41) or 60 mg (cohort 2, n = 43) or placebo (cohort 3, n = 43) for 8 weeks. The patients were assessed by the Hamilton anxiety scale (HAM-A), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAM-D), Clinical Global Impression Scale (CGI-S), Visual Analogue Scale and vital signs. At week 8, the decreases of the HAM-A score were achieved in 53∙7%, 47∙7% and 16∙3% in cohorts 1, 2 and 3, respectively. Changes of HAM-A, HAM-D, CGI-S, and CGI-I scores in aviandr-treated patients were superior to placebo (p < 0∙001). The psychic components of anxiety decreased on the first day, throughout the 8 weeks of treatment and on a follow-up week after aviandr discontinuation. Aviandr (40 mg daily dose) reduced drowsiness compared to baseline, was safe, well-tolerated and did not cause serious or severe adverse events or signs of withdrawal syndrome within one week after treatment completion. Aviandr at both 40 and 60 mg daily doses demonstrated therapeutic efficacy in GAD patients over placebo.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The development and clinical implementation of the cap-dependent endonuclease (CEN) inhibitor baloxavir marboxil was a breakthrough in influenza therapy, but it was associated with the emergence of drug-resistant variants. OBJECTIVES: To design and synthesize structural analogues of CEN inhibitors and evaluate their safety, pharmacokinetics and antiviral potency in vitro and in vivo. METHODS: The drug candidate AV5124 and its active metabolite AV5116 were synthesized based on pharmacophore modelling. Stability in plasma and microsomes, plasma protein binding, cytotoxicity and antiviral activities were assessed in vitro. Pharmacokinetics after IV or oral administration were analysed in CD-1 mice. Acute toxicity and protective efficacy against lethal A(H1N1)pdm09 influenza virus challenge were examined in BALB/c mice. RESULTS: Pharmacophore model-assisted, 3D molecular docking predicted key supramolecular interactions of the metal-binding group and bulky hydrophobic group of AV5116 with the CEN binding site (Protein Data Bank code: 6FS6) that are essential for high antiviral activity. AV5116 inhibited influenza virus polymerase complexes in cell-free assays and replication of oseltamivir-susceptible and -resistant influenza A and B viruses at nanomolar concentrations. Notably, AV5116 was equipotent or more potent than baloxavir acid (BXA) against WT (I38-WT) viruses and viruses with reduced BXA susceptibility carrying an I38T polymerase acidic (PA) substitution. AV5116 exhibited low cytotoxicity in Madin-Darby canine kidney cells and lacked mitochondrial toxicity, resulting in favourable selective indices. Treatment with 20 or 50 mg/kg AV5124 prevented death in 60% and 100% of animals, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Overall, AV5124 and A5116 are promising inhibitors of the influenza virus CEN and warrant further development as potent anti-influenza agents.

RESUMEN

A series of novel small-molecule pan-genotypic hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS5A inhibitors with picomolar activity containing 2-[(2S)-pyrrolidin-2-yl]-5-[4-(4-{2-[(2S)-pyrrolidin-2-yl]-1H-imidazol-5-yl}buta-1,3-diyn-1-yl)phenyl]-1H-imidazole core was designed based on molecular modeling study and SAR analysis. The constructed in silico model and docking study provide a deep insight into the binding mode of this type of NS5A inhibitors. Based on the predicted binding interface we have prioritized the most crucial diversity points responsible for improving antiviral activity. The synthesized molecules were tested in a cell-based assay, and compound 1.12 showed an EC50 value in the range of 2.9-34 pM against six genotypes of NS5A HCV, including gT3a, and demonstrated favorable pharmacokinetic profile in rats. This lead compound can be considered as an attractive candidate for further clinical evaluation.

RESUMEN

4-Substituted 2,4-dioxobutanoic acids inhibit influenza virus cap-dependent endonuclease (CEN) activity. Baloxavir marboxil, 4, is approved for treating influenza virus infections. We describe here the synthesis and biological evaluation of active compounds, 5a-5g, and their precursors (6a, 6b, 6d, and 6e) with flexible bulky hydrophobic groups instead of the rigid polyheterocyclic moieties. In silico docking confirmed the ability of 5a-5g to bind to the active site of influenza A CEN (PDB code: 6FS6) like baloxavir acid, 3. These novel compounds inhibited polymerase complex activity, inhibited virus replication in cells, prevented death in a lethal influenza A virus mouse challenge model, and dramatically lowered viral lung titers. 5a and 5e potently inhibited different influenza genera in vitro. Precursors 6a and 6d demonstrated impressive mouse oral bioavailability with 6a, providing effective in vivo protection. Thus, these novel compounds are potent CEN inhibitors with in vitro and in vivo activity comparable to baloxavir.

RESUMEN

The title compound, C15H22N4O5S, was prepared via alkyl-ation of 3-(chloro-meth-yl)-5-(pentan-3-yl)-1,2,4-oxa-diazole in anhydrous dioxane in the presence of tri-ethyl-amine. The thia-diazine ring has an envelope conformation with the S atom displaced by 0.4883 (6) Šfrom the mean plane through the other five atoms. The planar 1,2,4-oxa-diazole ring is inclined to the mean plane of the thia-diazine ring by 77.45 (11)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming chains propagating along the b-axis direction. Hirshfeld surface analysis and two-dimensional fingerprint plots have been used to analyse the inter-molecular contacts present in the crystal. Mol-ecular docking studies were use to evaluate the title compound as a potential system that inter-acts effectively with the capsid of the Hepatitis B virus (HBV), supported by an experimental in vitro HBV replication model.

RESUMEN

Although a relatively wide range of therapeutic options is currently available for the treatment of HIV/AIDS, it is still among the most serious and virulent diseases and is associated with a high mortality rate. Integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs), e.g., FDA-approved dolutegravir (DTG), bictegravir (BIC) and cabotegravir (CAB), have recently been included in standard highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) schemes as one of the five major components responsible for the most beneficial clinical outcome. In this paper, we describe a combinatorial amide synthesis, biological evaluation and in silico modeling of new INSTIs containing heteroaromatic bioisosteric substitution instead of the well-studied halogen-substituted benzyl fragment. With the focus on the mentioned diversity point, a medium-sized library of compounds was selected for synthesis. A biological study revealed that many molecules were highly active INSTIs (EC50 < 10 nM). Two compounds 1{4} and 1{26} demonstrated picomolar antiviral activity that was comparable with CAB and were more active than DTG and BIC. Molecular docking study was performed to evaluate the binding mode of compounds in the active site of HIV-1 IN. In rats, lead compound 1{26} showed two-fold greater bioavailability than CAB and had a similar half-life. Compound 1{26} and its sodium salt were considerably more soluble in water than the parent drugs. Both molecules were very stable in human liver microsomes and plasma, demonstrated high affinity towards plasma proteins and did not show cytochrome (CYP) inhibition. This benefit profile indicates the great potential of these molecules as attractive candidates for subsequent evaluation as oral long-acting drugs and long-acting nanosuspension formulations for intramuscular injection.

RESUMEN

A method of 4-fluoro-3-(morpholinosulfonyl)benzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylate synthesis has been developed and the electronic and spatial structure of a new biologically active molecule has been studied both theoretically and experimentally. The title compound was crystallized from acetonitrile and the single crystal X-ray analysis has revealed that it exists in a monoclinic P21/c space group, with one molecule in the asymmetric part of the unit cell. Hirshfeld surface analysis was used to study intermolecular interactions in the crystal. Molecular docking study evaluates the investigated compound as a new potential inhibitor of hepatitis B. Testing for anti-hepatitis B virus activity has shown that this substance demonstrates in vitro nanomolar inhibitory activity against HBV.

RESUMEN

A series of novel highly active androgen receptor (AR) antagonists containing spiro-4-(5-oxo-3-phenyl-2-thioxoimidazolidin-1-yl)-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile core was designed based on the SAR studies available from the reported AR antagonists and in silico modeling. Within the series, compound (R)-6 (ONC1-13B) and its related analogues, including its active N-dealkylated metabolite, were found to be the most potent molecules with the target activity (IC50, androgen-sensitive human PCa LNCaP cells) in the range of 59-80 nM (inhibition of PSA production). The disclosed hits were at least two times more active than bicalutamide, nilutamide and enzalutamide within the performed assay. Several compounds were classified as partial agonists. Hit-compounds demonstrated benefit pharmacokinetic profiles in rats. Comparative SAR and 3D molecular docking studies were performed for the hit compounds elucidating the observed differences in the binding potency.

RESUMEN

A series of next in class small-molecule hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS5A inhibitors with picomolar potency containing 2-pyrrolidin-2-yl-5-{4-[4-(2-pyrrolidin-2-yl-1H-imidazol-5-yl)buta-1,3-diynyl]phenyl}-1H-imidazole cores was designed based on the SAR studies available for the reported NS5A inhibitors. Compound 13a (AV4025), with (S,S,S,S)-stereochemistry (EC50 = 3.4 ± 0.2 pM, HCV replicon genotype 1b), was dramatically more active than were the compounds with two (S)- and two (R)-chiral centers. Human serum did not significantly reduce the antiviral activity (<4-fold). Relatively favorable pharmacokinetic features and good oral bioavailability were observed during animal studies. Compound 13a was well tolerated in rodents (in mice, LD50 = 2326 mg/kg or higher), providing a relatively high therapeutic index. During safety, pharmacology and subchronic toxicity studies in rats and dogs, it was not associated with any significant pathological or clinical findings. This compound is currently being evaluated in phase I/II clinical trials for the treatment of HCV infection.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: Development of a novel drug candidate with improved potency against influenza virus neuraminidase compared with currently available therapeutics, and high activity against oseltamivir-resistant viruses. METHODS: A number of synthetic compounds were evaluated for antiviral properties in vitro and in vivo. Three-dimensional molecular docking, assisted by a pharmacophore model, was applied to classify compounds within the series by their inhibitory potency. Compound stability in blood and in animal models was determined. Pharmacokinetic studies in dogs and rats after oral or intravenous administration were performed. RESULTS: A novel highly potent drug candidate [(3R,4R,5S)-5-[(diaminomethylene)amino]-3-(1-ethylpropoxy)-4-[(fluoroacetyl)amino]cyclohex-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid; AV5080] was synthesized and tested. AV5080 exhibited high activity against influenza virus neuraminidase in vitro, with IC(50) values of 0.03 nM and 0.07 nM against the neuraminidase of A/Duck/Minnesota/1525/1981/H5N1 and A/Perth/265/2009/H1N1 (wild-type), respectively. Notably, AV5080 was highly active against oseltamivir-resistant influenza viruses. CONCLUSIONS: Based on the results presented in this study, AV5080 is a promising novel oral drug candidate for the treatment of influenza, including oseltamivir-resistant types. Further pre-clinical development of AV5080 is warranted.

RESUMEN

Recently new drugs targeting androgen-dependent axis have been approved for the treatment of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) - Zytiga and Xtandi (formerly MDV3100), several other candidates (for example, ARN-509) are in early phases of clinical trials. However despite significant improvement in overall survival with new treatments it is evident that resistance to these drugs develops. One of the approaches to overcome it is combination therapy and from this point of view some potential for drug-drug interactions can limit the application of the drug. We describe here the preclinical development of ONC1-13B, antagonist of androgen receptor, with similar to MDV3100 and ARN-509 mechanism of action. It efficiently inhibits DHT-stimulated PSA expression and proliferation of prostate cancer cells, prevents binding of androgens to the AR ligand-binding domain, androgen-stimulated AR nuclear translocation and coactivator complex formation. In the LnCaP-Z2 xenograft model of prostate cancer ONC1-13B inhibits tumor growth and suppresses PSA expression. The in vivo activity of ONC1-13B is comparable to that of MDV3100 at similar doses, and even higher, calculated per unit of concentration in plasma. Distribution of ONC1-13B to the brain is less than that shown for MDV3100 and ARN-509, decreasing the risk of GABA-related seizure development. Additionally ONC1-13B induces significantly lower in vitro CYP3A activity than for example MDV3100 (known strong CYP3A inducer) or ARN-509 and could be well suited for co-therapy with drugs that are known CYP3A substrates. Thus ONC1-13B is a new promising antiandrogen demonstrating high efficacy in a preclinical model of prostate cancer, with lower potential for seizures and drug-drug interaction.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: Development of a novel drug candidate with improved activity against influenza virus neuraminidase (NA) compared with currently available therapeutics. METHODS: Synthesized compounds were evaluated in vitro and in vivo. Three-dimensional molecular docking was successfully applied to classify compounds within the series by inhibitory potency. Stability was investigated in blood samples and in animal models. A pharmacokinetic study was performed in dogs and rats using peroral and intravenous administration. RESULTS: A novel highly potent drug candidate [(3R,4R,5S)-4-(2,2-difluoroacetylamino)-5-amino-3-(1-ethyl-propoxy)-cyclohex-1-enecarboxylic acid; AV5027] and its prodrug ethyl ester (AV5075S) were synthesized and tested. AV5027 and AV5075S exhibit picomolar activity against influenza virus NA. AV5075S inhibited NA in a model of pneumonia using mouse-adapted A/Aichi/2/68 (H3N2) virus significantly more strongly than oseltamivir phosphate. A general metabolic pathway was constructed for the parent compound based on experimental results and theoretical analyses. CONCLUSIONS: AV5075S can be reasonably regarded as a novel 'next in class' oral drug candidate for the treatment of influenza.

RESUMEN

A medium-sized focused library of novel Oseltamivir structural analogues with promising antiviral activity was successfully synthesized using a combinatorial approach. The synthesized compounds were then thoroughly evaluated in neuraminidase- and cell-based assays. As a result, (3R,4R,5S)-4-(2,2-difluoroacetylamino)-5-amino-3-(1-ethyl-propoxy)-cyclohex-1-enecarboxylic acid (AV5027) was identified as novel Hit-compound with picomolar potency. QSAR analysis was carried out based on the obtained biological data. Computational modeling was performed using a 3D-molecular docking approach and classical regression analysis. The developed integral model demonstrated a sufficient prediction accuracy and tolerance to evaluate compounds based on their potential activity against neuraminidase (NA) at least within the scaffold. Several compounds from the series can be reasonably regarded as promising anti-influenza drug-candidates.

RESUMEN

Synthesis and biological evaluation of a new series of structurally unrestricted and intramolecular hydrogen bond restricted derivatives of 3-(phenylsulfonyl)pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrido[3,4-e]pyrimidines (angular tricyclics) and 3-(phenylsulfonyl)pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidines (linear tricyclics) are described. Structurally restricted derivatives are highly potent and selective blockers of 5-HT(6) receptors with little difference between angular or linear shape of the tricyclic core, the angular species being only slightly more potent. The angular representative of 3-(phenylsulfonyl)pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrido[3,4-e]pyrimidines, 5, can be considered as more favorable candidate for further development as it shows only weak 5-HT(2B) blocking activity (IC(50)=6.16 µM as compared with IC(50)=1.8 nM for 5-HT(6) receptors) and very low hERG potassium channel blocking potency (IC(50)=54.2 µM). The linear analog, 11, is less favorable as while showing no binding to the 5-HT(2B) receptor at concentrations of up to 10 µM, it exhibits quite a high potency to block the hERG channel (IC(50)=0.5 µM).

RESUMEN

Syntheses, biological evaluation as 5-HT(6) receptor (5-HT(6)R) antagonists, and structure-activity relationships for a series of novel 5,7-disubstituted (3-arylsulfonyl-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidins are disclosed. The molecule conformational flexibility in the series is restricted by formation of the intramolecular hydrogen bond between 3-sulfo and 2-methylamino groups, which renders high potency and high selectivity to block serotonin-induced responses in HEK-293 cells stably expressing human 5-HT(6)R. In this work, we tested the hypothesis if addition of a positively ionizable group (PI) to the pyrimidine ring of the scaffold members in positions 5, 6, or 7 could further increase their 5HT(6)R blocking potency. We show that the presence of the PI group with small substituents does not substantially affect either potency or selectivity of the ligands while causing substantial changes in their cLogP values. This provides a possibility for designing of the 5HT(6)R ligands with modified ADME characteristics without grossly affecting efficiency of their interaction with the receptor. In respect to the structure-activity relationship (SAR), among other physiochemical parameters, only the molecule size and shape (described by gyration radii) showed a clear tendency for more compact molecules to be more potent antagonists of this receptor.

RESUMEN

Syntheses of a series of novel 3-sulfonyl-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines and their 5-HT(6) receptor antagonistic structure-activity relationship are disclosed. The nature and position of substituents, which affect their receptor antagonistic activity, are analyzed. Among all synthesized derivatives, {3-(3-chlorophenylsulfonyl)-5,7-dimethyl-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-2-yl}-methyl-amine 33 (K(i)=190 pM), (3-phenylsulfonyl-7-methyl-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-2-yl)-methyl-amine 44 (K(i)=240 pM), (3-phenylsulfonyl-5-metoxymethyl-7-methyl-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-2-yl)-methyl-amine 50 (K(i)=270 pM), and (3-phenylsulfonyl-5-methyl-7-metoxymethyl-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-2-yl)-methyl-amine 52 (K(i)=280 pM) are the most potent antagonists of the 5-HT(6) receptors.

RESUMEN

Syntheses, biological evaluation, and structure-activity relationships for a series of novel 2-substituted 3-benzenesulfonyl-5,6-dimethyl-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines are disclosed. In spite of a wide, four orders of magnitude, SAR range (K(i) varied from 260 pM to 2.96 µM), no significant correlation of 5-HT(6)R antagonistic potency was observed with major physiochemical characteristics, such as molecular weight, surface polar area, cLogP, or number of rotatable bonds. Statistically significant trend was only observed for size of substitute group, which was not enough to explain the deep SAR trend. Besides with the substitute group size, another factor that presumably plays a role in defining the compound potencies is a relative position of the heterocycle and sulfophenyl moieties. Among all synthesized derivatives, (3-benzenesulfonyl-5,7-dimethyl-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-2-yl)-methyl-amine 18 is the most potent (K(i) = 260 pM) and extremely selective, 5000 to >50,000-fold relative to 55 therapeutic targets, antagonist of the 5-HT(6) receptor.

RESUMEN

A number of 3-(phenylsulfonyl)thieno[2,3-e][1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines were prepared and their 5-HT6 receptor binding affinity and ability to inhibit the functional cellular responses to serotonin were evaluated. 3-[(3-chlorophenyl)sulfonyl]-N-(tetrahydrofuran-2-ylmethyl)thieno[2,3-e][1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-5-amine 2{5,26} appeared to be the most active in a functional assay (IC50=29.0 nM) and 3-(phenylsulfonyl)-N-(2-thienylmethyl) thieno[2,3-e][1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-5-amine 2{1,28} demonstrated the greatest affinity in a 5-HT6 receptor radioligand binding assay (Ki=1.7 nM). A screening of 5-HT2A and 5-HT2B receptor affinity revealed that 3-(phenylsulfonyl)thieno[2,3-e][1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines are highly selective 5-HT6 receptor ligands.

RESUMEN

5-HT(6) receptors are exclusively localized in the CNS and have high affinity with many psychotropic agents. Though the role of this receptor in many CNS diseases is widely anticipated, lack of definite progress in the development of 5-HT(6) receptor-oriented drugs indicates a need for further discoveries of novel chemotypes with high potency and high selectivity to the receptor. Here we present preparations and biological evaluation of a series of (3-phenylsulfonylcycloalkano[e and d]pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-2-yl)amines. Phenylsulfonylcyclopentapyrazolopyrimidine 7 was found to be a highly selective 5-HT(6) receptor antagonist with high affinity (low picomolar range) and potency. 7 and a few of its analogues were further tested for biological effect on 5-HT(2B) receptors and hERG potassium channels, potential liability targets. Such liability appears to be minimal, based on the in vitro data.

RESUMEN

Here we present the solution phase parallel synthesis of a combinatorial library consisting of 776 new substituted 3-phenylsulfonyl-[1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]quinazolines and a study of the relation of their structure with a 5-HT(6) receptor antagonistic activity in a functional cell (HEK 293) analysis and radioligand competitive binding. We have found highly active and selective 5-HT(6)R antagonists. The most active 5-HT(6)R antagonists have IC(50) <100 nM in a functional assay, and K(i) <10 nM in a binding assay, which is 100 times higher than the activity with respect to other serotonin receptors.
