Design, Synthesis, and Evaluation of New Hybrid Derivatives of 5,6-Dihydro-4H-pyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]quinolin-2(1H)-one as Potential Dual Inhibitors of Blood Coagulation Factors Xa and XIa.

Cardiovascular diseases caused by blood coagulation system disorders are one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the world. Research shows that blood clotting factors are involved in these thrombotic processes. Among them, factor Xa occupies a key position in the blood coagulation cascade. Another coagulation factor, XIa, is also a promising target because its inhibition can suppress thrombosis with a limited contribution to normal hemostasis. In this regard, the development of dual inhibitors as new generation anticoagulants is an urgent problem. Here we report the synthesis and evaluation of novel potential dual inhibitors of coagulation factors Xa and XIa. Based on the principles of molecular design, we selected a series of compounds that combine in their structure fragments of pyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]quinolin-2-one and thiazole, connected through a hydrazine linker. The production of new hybrid molecules was carried out using a two-stage method. The reaction of 5,6-dihydropyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]quinoline-1,2-diones with thiosemicarbazide gave the corresponding hydrazinocarbothioamides. The reaction of the latter with DMAD led to the target methyl 2-(4-oxo-2-(2-(2-oxo-5,6-dihydro-4H-pyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]quinolin-1(2H)-ylidene)hydrazineyl)thiazol-5(4H)-ylidene)acetates in high yields. In vitro testing of the synthesized molecules revealed that ten of them showed high inhibition values for both the coagulation factors Xa and XIa, and the IC50 value for some compounds was also assessed. The resulting structures were also tested for their ability to inhibit thrombin.

New Hybrid Tetrahydropyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]quinolin-1-ylidene-2-thioxothiazolidin-4-ones as New Inhibitors of Factor Xa and Factor XIa: Design, Synthesis, and In Silico and Experimental Evaluation.

Despite extensive research in the field of thrombotic diseases, the prevention of blood clots remains an important area of study. Therefore, the development of new anticoagulant drugs with better therapeutic profiles and fewer side effects to combat thrombus formation is still needed. Herein, we report the synthesis and evaluation of novel pyrroloquinolinedione-based rhodanine derivatives, which were chosen from 24 developed derivatives by docking as potential molecules to inhibit the clotting factors Xa and XIa. For the synthesis of new hybrid derivatives of pyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]quinoline-2-one, we used a convenient structural modification of the tetrahydroquinoline fragment by varying the substituents in positions 2, 4, and 6. In addition, the design of target molecules was achieved by alkylating the amino group of the rhodanine fragment with propargyl bromide or by replacing the rhodanine fragment with 2-thioxoimidazolidin-4-one. The in vitro testing showed that eight derivatives are capable of inhibiting both coagulation factors, two compounds are selective inhibitors of factor Xa, and two compounds are selective inhibitors of factor XIa. Overall, these data indicate the potential anticoagulant activity of these molecules through the inhibition of the coagulation factors Xa and XIa.

New Blood Coagulation Factor XIIa Inhibitors: Molecular Modeling, Synthesis, and Experimental Confirmation.

In the modern world, complications caused by disorders in the blood coagulation system are found in almost all areas of medicine. Thus, the development of new, more advanced drugs that can prevent pathological conditions without disrupting normal hemostasis is an urgent task. The blood coagulation factor XIIa is one of the most promising therapeutic targets for the development of anticoagulants based on its inhibitors. The initial stage of drug development is directly related to computational methods of searching for a lead compound. In this study, docking followed by quantum chemical calculations was used to search for noncovalent low-molecular-weight factor XIIa inhibitors in a focused library of druglike compounds. As a result of the study, four low-molecular-weight compounds were experimentally confirmed as factor XIIa inhibitors. Selectivity testing revealed that two of the identified factor XIIa inhibitors were selective over the coagulation factors Xa and XIa.

Synthesis, Docking, and In Vitro Anticoagulant Activity Assay of Hybrid Derivatives of Pyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]Quinolin-2(1H)-one as New Inhibitors of Factor Xa and Factor XIa.

Coagulation factor Xa and factor XIa are proven to be convenient and crucial protein targets for treatment for thrombotic disorders and thereby their inhibitors can serve as effective anticoagulant drugs. In the present work, we focused on the structure-activity relationships of derivatives of pyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]quinolin-2(1H)-one and an evaluation of their activity against factor Xa and factor XIa. For this, docking-guided synthesis of nine compounds based on pyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]quinolin-2(1H)-one was carried out. For the synthesis of new hybrid hydropyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]quinolin-2(1H)-one derivatives, we used convenient structural modification of both the tetrahydro- and dihydroquinoline moiety by varying the substituents at the C6,8,9 positions. In vitro testing revealed that four derivatives were able to inhibit both coagulation factors and three compounds were selective factor XIa inhibitors. An IC50 value of 3.68 µM for was found for the best factor Xa inhibitor and 2 µM for the best factor XIa inhibitor.
