A fleeting look at the old and the promising new molecules. Bioorg Med Chem 2020; 28:115466. [PMID: 32247750 PMCID: PMC7112834 DOI: 10.1016/j.bmc.2020.115466] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2020] [Revised: 03/24/2020] [Accepted: 03/24/2020] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
Hypertension is a diverse illness interlinked with cerebral, cardiovascular (CVS) and renal abnormalities. Presently, the malady is being treated by focusing on Renin- angiotensin system (RAS), voltage-gated calcium channels, peripheral vasodilators, renal and sympathetic nervous systems. Cardiovascular and renal abnormalities are associated with the overactivation of RAS, which can be constrained by angiotensin- converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs), angiotensin II (Ang-II) -AT1 receptor blockers (ARBs) and renin inhibitors. The latter is a new player in the old system. The renin catalyzes the conversion of angiotensinogen to Angiotensin I (Ang-I). This can be overcome by inhibiting renin, a preliminary step, eventually hinders the occurrence of the cascade of events in the RAS. Various peptidomimetics, the first-generation renin inhibitors developed six decades ago have limited drug-like properties as they suffered from poor intestinal absorption, high liver first-pass metabolism and low oral bioavailability. The development of chemically diverse molecules from peptides to nonpeptides expanded the horizon to achieving direct renin inhibition. Aliskiren, a blockbuster drug that emerged as a clinical candidate and got approved by the US FDA in 2007 was developed by molecular modeling studies. Aliskiren indicated superior to average efficacy and with minor adverse effects relative to other RAS inhibitors. However, its therapeutic use is limited by poor oral bioavailability of less than 2% that is similar to first-generation peptidic compounds. In this review, we present the development of direct renin inhibitors (DRIs) from peptidic to nonpeptidics that lead to the birth of aliskiren, its place in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases and its limitations.

Abstract
A review of the recent literature is given focusing on synthetic approaches to 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines, 2,3-dihydro-4(1H)-quinolinones and 4(1H)-quinolinones using domino reactions. These syntheses involve: (1) reduction or oxidation followed by cyclization; (2) SNAr-terminated sequences; (3) acid-catalyzed ring closures or rearrangements; (4) high temperature cyclizations and (5) metal-promoted processes as well as several less thoroughly studied reactions. Each domino method is presented with a brief discussion of mechanism, scope, yields, simplicity and potential utility.

Abstract
We report the design and synthesis of a series of 6-(2,4-diaminopyrimidinyl)-1,4-benzoxazin-3-ones as orally bioavailable small molecule inhibitors of renin. Compounds with a 2-methyl-2-aryl substitution pattern exhibit potent renin inhibition and good permeability, solubility, and metabolic stability. Oral bioavailability was found to be dependent on metabolic clearance and cellular permeability, and was optimized through modulation of the sidechain that binds in the S3(sp) subsite.

Abstract
Computational (in silico) methods have been developed and widely applied to pharmacology hypothesis development and testing. These in silico methods include databases, quantitative structure-activity relationships, similarity searching, pharmacophores, homology models and other molecular modeling, machine learning, data mining, network analysis tools and data analysis tools that use a computer. Such methods have seen frequent use in the discovery and optimization of novel molecules with affinity to a target, the clarification of absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity properties as well as physicochemical characterization. The first part of this review discussed the methods that have been used for virtual ligand and target-based screening and profiling to predict biological activity. The aim of this second part of the review is to illustrate some of the varied applications of in silico methods for pharmacology in terms of the targets addressed. We will also discuss some of the advantages and disadvantages of in silico methods with respect to in vitro and in vivo methods for pharmacology research. Our conclusion is that the in silico pharmacology paradigm is ongoing and presents a rich array of opportunities that will assist in expediating the discovery of new targets, and ultimately lead to compounds with predicted biological activity for these novel targets.

Abstract
This paper describes an application of fragment screening to the aspartyl protease enzyme, beta-secretase (BACE-1), using high throughput X-ray crystallography. Three distinct chemotypes were identified by X-ray crystallography as binding to the catalytic aspartates either via an aminoheterocycle (such as 2-aminoquinoline), a piperidine, or an aliphatic hydroxyl group. The fragment hits were weak inhibitors of BACE-1 in the millimolar range but were of interest because most of them displayed relatively good ligand efficiencies. The aminoheterocycles exhibited a novel recognition motif that has not been seen before with aspartic proteases. Virtual screening around this motif identified an aminopyridine with increased potency and attractive growth points for further elaboration using structure-based drug design. The companion paper illustrates how sub-micromolar inhibitors were developed starting from this fragment.

Abstract
Fragment-based lead discovery has been successfully applied to the aspartyl protease enzyme beta-secretase (BACE-1). Fragment hits that contained an aminopyridine motif binding to the two catalytic aspartic acid residues in the active site of the enzyme were the chemical starting points. Structure-based design approaches have led to identification of low micromolar lead compounds that retain these interactions and additionally occupy adjacent hydrophobic pockets of the active site. These leads form two subseries, for which compounds 4 (IC50 = 25 microM) and 6c (IC50 = 24 microM) are representative. In the latter series, further optimization has led to 8a (IC50 = 690 nM).

Abstract
An evolutionary statistical learning method was applied to classify drugs according to their biological target and also to discriminate between a compilation of oral and nonoral drugs. The emphasis was placed not only on how well the models predict but also on their interpretability. In an enhancement to previous studies, the consistency of the model weights over several runs of the genetic algorithm was considered with the goal of producing comprehensible models. Via this approach, the descriptors and their ranges that contribute most to class discrimination were identified. Selecting a bin step size that enables the average descriptor properties of the class being trained to be captured improves the interpretability and discriminatory power of a model. The performance, consistency, and robustness of such models were further enhanced by using two novel approaches that reduce the variability between individual solutions: consensus and splice modeling. Finally, the ability of the genetic algorithm to discriminate between activity classes was compared with a similarity searching method, while naïve Bayes classifiers and support vector machines were applied in discriminating the oral and nonoral drugs.

Abstract
At present nine FDA-approved HIV protease inhibitors have been launched to market, however rapid drug resistance arising under antiviral therapy calls upon novel concepts. Possible strategies are the development of ligands with less peptide-like character or the stabilization of a new and unexpected binding-competent conformation of the protein through a novel ligand-binding mode. Our rational design of pyrrolidinedimethylene diamines was inspired by the idea to incorporate key structural elements from classical peptidomimetics with a non-peptidic heterocyclic core comprising an endocyclic amino function to address the catalytic aspartic acid side chains of Asp 25 and 25'. The basic scaffolds were decorated by side chains already optimized for the recognition pockets of HIV protease or cathepsin D. A multistep synthesis has been established to produce the central heterocycle and to give flexible access to side chain decorations. Depending on the substitution pattern of the pyrrolidine moiety, single-digit micromolar inhibition of HIV-1 protease and cathepsin D has been achieved. Successful design is suggested in agreement with our modelling concepts. The subsequently determined crystal structure with HIV protease shows that the pyrrolidine moiety binds as expected to the pivotal position between both aspartic acid side chains. However, even though the inhibitors have been equipped symmetrically by polar acceptor groups to address the flap water molecule, it is repelled from the complex, and only one direct hydrogen bond is formed to the flap. A strong distortion of the flap region is detected, leading to a novel hydrogen bond which cross-links the flap loops. Furthermore, the inhibitor addresses only three of the four available recognition pockets. It achieves only an incomplete desolvation compared with the similarly decorated amprenavir. Taking these considerations into account it is surprising that the produced pyrrolidine derivatives achieve micromolar inhibition and it suggests extraordinary potency of the new compound class. Most likely, the protonated pyrrolidine moiety experiences strong enthalpic interactions with the enzyme through the formation of two salt bridges to the aspartic acid side chains. This might provide challenging opportunities to combat resistance of the rapidly mutating virus.

Abstract
BACE1 is an aspartyl protease responsible for cleaving amyloid precursor protein to liberate Abeta, which aggregates leading to plaque deposits implicated in Alzheimer's disease. We have identified small-molecule acylguanidine inhibitors of BACE1. Crystallographic studies show that these compounds form unique hydrogen-bonding interactions with the catalytic site aspartic acids and stabilize the protein in a flap-open conformation. Structure-based optimization led to the identification of potent analogs, such as 10d (BACE1 IC(50) = 110 nM).

Abstract
The application of metalated, enantiomerically pure acyclic and cyclic 2-alkenyl sulfoximines for the synthesis of highly substituted aza(poly)cyclic ring systems is described. The method relies on a one-pot combination of a reagent-controlled allyl transfer reaction to alpha- or beta-amino aldehydes, followed by a Michael-type cyclization of the intermediate vinyl sulfoximines generated in the first step. The sulfur-free target compounds are preferentially obtained by samarium iodide treatment of the sulfonimidoyl substituted heterocycles. In addition to this methodological work, initial results on the biological activity of selected examples are reported. Furthermore, a concept for the transformation of peptidic lead structures into non-peptide mimetics is described, and the relevance of the new approach to highly substituted azaheterocycles in this context is discussed.

Abstract
A systematic investigation of the S3 sub-pocket activity requirements was conducted. It was observed that linear and sterically small side chain substituents are preferred in the S3 sub-pocket for optimal renin inhibition. Polar groups in the S3-sub-pocket were not well tolerated and caused a reduction in renin inhibitory activity. Further, compounds with clog P's < or = 3 demonstrated a dramatic reduction in CYP3A4 inhibitory activity.

Human BACE, also known as beta-secretase, shows promise as a potential therapeutic target for Alzheimer's disease. We determined the apo structure of BACE to 1.75 A, and a structure of a hydroxyethylamine inhibitor complex derived by soaking. These show significant active-site movements compared to previously described BACE structures. Additionally, the structures reveal two pockets that could be targeted by structure-based drug design.

Abstract
The docking program LigandFit/Cerius(2) has been used to perform shape-based virtual screening of databases against the aspartic protease renin, a target of determined three-dimensional structure. The protein structure was used in the induced fit binding conformation that occurs when renin is bound to the highly active renin inhibitor 1 (IC(50) = 2 nM). The scoring was calculated using several different scoring functions in order to get insight into the predictability of the magnitude of binding interactions. A database of 1000 diverse and druglike compounds, comprised of 990 members of a virtual database generated by using the iLib diverse software and 10 known active renin inhibitors, was docked flexibly and scored to determine appropriate scoring functions. All seven scoring functions used (LigScore1, LigScore2, PLP1, PLP2, JAIN, PMF, LUDI) were able to retrieve at least 50% of the active compounds within the first 20% (200 molecules) of the entire test database. A hit rate of 90% in the top 1.4% resulted using the quadruple consensus scoring of LigScore2, PLP1, PLP2, and JAIN. Additionally, a focused database was created with the iLib diverse software and used for the same procedure as the test database. Docking and scoring of the 990 focused compounds and the 10 known actives were performed. A hit rate of 100% in the top 8.4% resulted with use of the triple consensus scoring of PLP1, PLP2, and PMF. As expected, a ranking of the known active compounds within the focused database compared to the test database was observed. Adequate virtual screening conditions were derived empirically. They can be used for proximate docking and scoring application of compounds with putative renin inhibiting potency.

Abstract
The expression and function in growth and apoptosis of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) was evaluated in human glioblastoma. Renin and angiotensinogen (AGT) mRNAs and proteins were found by in situ hybridisation and immunohistochemistry in glioblastoma cells. Angiotensinogen was present in glioblastoma cystic fluids. Thus, human glioblastoma cells produce renin and AGT and secrete AGT. Human glioblastoma and glioblastoma cells expressed renin, AGT, renin receptor, AT(2) and/or AT(1) mRNAs and proteins determined by RT-PCR and/or Western blotting, respectively. The function of the RAS in glioblastoma was studied using human glioblastoma cells in culture. Angiotensinogen, des(Ang I)AGT, tetradecapaptide renin substrate (AGT1-14), Ang I, Ang II or Ang III, added to glioblastoma cells in culture, did not modulate their proliferation, survival or death. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors did not diminish glioblastoma cell proliferation. However, the addition of selective synthetic renin inhibitors to glioblastoma cells decreased DNA synthesis and viable tumour cell number, and induced apoptosis. This effect was not counterbalanced by concomitant addition of Ang II. In conclusion, the complete RAS is expressed by human glioblastomas and glioblastoma cells in culture. Inhibition of renin in glioblastoma cells may be a potential approach to control glioblastoma cell proliferation and survival, and glioblastoma progression in combination therapy.

Abstract
Structure-generating programs provide rational methods to rapidly design novel scaffolds targeting the biologic receptor of choice. Recent research has demonstrated proteins equilibrate between families of conformations (ensembles) for which drug design may target. New methods are currently being developed utilizing structure-generating programs to target alternate enzyme conformations in an attempt to overcome the challenge of developing therapeutically useful molecules. These new methods provide the potential to overcome bioavailability problems encountered with peptide and peptide-like molecules by identifying novel small molecule scaffolds.

Pepsin inhibition by 3-alkoxy-4-arylpiperidine (substituted piperidine; (3R,4R)-3-(4-bromobenzyloxy)-4-[4-(2-naphthalen-1-yl-2-oxo-ethoxy)phenyl]piperidine) has been studied using steady-state kinetic and pre-equilibrium binding methods. Data were compared with pepstatin A, a well known competitive inhibitor of pepsin. Steady-state analysis reveals that the substituted piperidine likewise behaves as a competitive inhibitor. Pre-equilibrium binding studies indicate that the substituted piperidine can displace a fluorescently labeled statine inhibitor from the enzyme active site. Simulation of the stopped-flow fluorescence transients provided estimates of the K(d) values of 1.4 +/- 0.2 microm and 39 +/- 2 nm for the piperidine and the fluorescently labeled statine, respectively. The effects of combinations of these two inhibitors resulted in a series of parallel lines when plotted by the method of Yonetani and Theorell (Yonetani, T., and Theorell, H. (1964) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 106, 234-251), suggesting that the two inhibitors bind in a mutually exclusive fashion to pepsin. Fitting of the entire data set to the appropriate equation yielded an alpha factor of 8 +/- 1. The magnitude of this factor ( infinity > alpha > 1) can be explained by a conformational distinction between the enzyme species that bind each inhibitor. The effects of pH on the inhibition constants for pepstatin A and the substituted piperidine also suggest that the inhibitors bind to distinct conformational forms of the enzyme. No inhibition by the piperidine was observed at acidic pH, while pepstatin A inhibition is maximal at low pH values. Inhibition by the piperidine was maximal when a group with pK 4.8 +/- 0.2 was deprotonated and another group with pK 5.9 +/- 0.2 was protonated. Most likely these two groups are the catalytic aspartates with perturbed ionization properties as a result of a significant and unique conformational change. Taken together, these data suggest that the enzyme can readily interconvert between two conformers, one capable of binding substrate and pepstatin A and the other capable of binding the substituted piperidine.

Abstract
[reaction: see text]. The 3-alkoxy-4-aryl piperidines are non-peptide peptidomimetic inhibitors of several aspartic peptidases. The solid-phase functionalization of 3,4-disubstituted piperidine scaffolds using a traceless linker strategy is described. Synthesis of diverse analogues based on this scaffold provides the potential to generate selective inhibitors of this important class of peptidase.

Abstract
[reaction: see text] The 3-alkoxy-4-arylpiperidine inhibitors of aspartic peptidases are shown to be a new type of non-peptide peptidomimetic inhibitor. These piperidines can be designed from peptide-derived inhibitors by use of a structure-generating program but only after the enzyme active site conformation has been modified in a mechanistically related fashion. New enantioselective syntheses of 3-alkoxy-4-arylpiperidine analogues are described.
