Seleno-vs. thioether triazine derivatives in search for new anticancer agents overcoming multidrug resistance in lymphoma. Eur J Med Chem 2022; 243:114761. [PMID: 36179403 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2022.114761] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2022] [Revised: 08/29/2022] [Accepted: 09/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
Lymphomas are still difficult to treat even with modern therapies as, among others, multidrug resistance (MDR) is often counteracting a successful cancer therapy. P-gp/ABC-transporters are well-known for their crucial role in the main tumour MDR mechanism, eliminating drugs and cytotoxic substances from the cancer cell by efflux, and their modulators are promising for innovative therapy, but none has been approved in the pharmaceutical market yet. Herein, we have designed, synthesised and analysed 30 novel seleno- and thioether 1,3,5-triazine derivatives conducting comprehensive studies to evaluate their potential application in human JURKAT lymphoma cells. Among the new compounds, four (11, 12, 13 and 23) were much more effective than the reference inhibitor verapamil, being potent ABCB1 inhibitors already at 2 μM, while 5 and 15 showed very potent ABCB1 inhibitory activity only at 20 μM. Results of P-gp ATPase assays, supported with docking studies, indicated the competitive substrate mode of modulating action for 15, while ABCB1, ABCC1 and ABCG2 genes expression induction by 15 with q-PCR was confirmed. All compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxic and antiproliferative properties in both sensitive (PAR) and resistant (MDR) mouse T-lymphoma cell lines, and compound 15, also considering its promising ABCB1 inhibition properties, was revealed to be the best compound in terms of its cytotoxic effect (IC50: 16.73 μM) as well as concerning the antiproliferative effect (IC50: 5.35 μM) in MDR cells. Regarding the mechanistic studies looking at the cell cycle, the thioether 15 and selenium derivatives 26 and 29 were significantly effective in the regulation of cell cycle-related genes alone or in co-treatment with doxorubicin counteracting Cyclin D1 and E1 expression and increasing p53 and p21 levels, shedding first light on their mechanism of action. In summary, we explored the chemical space of seleno- and thioether 1,3,5-triazine derivatives with interesting activity against lymphoma. Especially compound 15 is worthy of being studied deeper to evaluate its precise mode of action further as well it can be improved regarding its potency and drug-likeness.

Abstract
The recent developments of fast reliable docking, virtual screening and other algorithms gave rise to discovery of many novel ligands of histamine receptors that could be used for treatment of allergic inflammatory disorders, central nervous system pathologies, pain, cancer and obesity. Furthermore, the pharmacological profiles of ligands clearly indicate that these receptors may be considered as targets not only for selective but also for multi-target drugs that could be used for treatment of complex disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. Therefore, analysis of protein-ligand recognition in the binding site of histamine receptors and also other molecular targets has become a valuable tool in drug design toolkit. This review covers the period 2014-2020 in the field of theoretical investigations of histamine receptors mostly based on molecular modeling as well as the experimental characterization of novel ligands of these receptors.

Abstract
Aromatic α-aminoazaheterocycles are the focus of significant investigations and exploration by researchers owing to their key role in diverse biological and physiological processes. The existence of their derivatives in numerous drugs and alkaloids is due to their heterocyclic nitrogenous nature. Therefore, the synthesis of a structurally diverse range of their derivatives through simple and convenient methods represents a vital field of synthetic organic chemistry. Multicomponent reactions (MCRs) provide a platform to introduce desirable structure diversity and complexity into a molecule in a single operation with a significant reduction in the use of harmful organic waste, and hence have attracted particular attention as an excellent tool to access these derivatives. This review covers the advances made from 2010 to the beginning of 2020 in terms of the utilization of α-aminoazaheterocycles as synthetic precursors in MCRs.

Abstract
Histamine is a pleiotropic biogenic amine, having affinity towards four distinct histamine receptors. The existing pharmacological studies suggest the usefulness of histamine H4 receptor ligands in the treatment of many inflammatory and immunomodulatory diseases, including allergic rhinitis, asthma, atopic dermatitis, colitis or pruritus. Up to date, several potent histamine H4 receptor ligands were developed, none of which was registered as a drug yet. In this study, a series of potent indole-like and triazine derivatives were tested, in radioligand displacement and functional assays at histamine H4 receptor, as well as in human eosinophils adhesion assay to endothelium. For selected compounds permeability, cytotoxicity, metabolic and in vivo studies were conducted. Adhesion assay differentiated the activity of different groups of compounds with a known affinity towards the histamine H4 receptor. Most of the tested compounds downregulated the number of adherent cells. However, adhesion assay revealed additional properties of tested compounds that had not been detected in radioligand displacement and aequorin-based functional assays. Furthermore, for some tested compounds, these abnormal effects were confirmed during the in vivo studies. In conclusion, eosinophils adhesion assay uncovered pharmacological activity of histamine H4 receptor ligands that has been later confirmed in vivo, underscoring the value of well-suited cell-based phenotypic screening approach in drug discovery.

Discovery of a novel selective water-soluble SMAD3 inhibitor as an antitumor agent. Bioorg Med Chem Lett 2020; 30:127396. [PMID: 32738967 DOI: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2020.127396] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2020] [Revised: 07/02/2020] [Accepted: 07/06/2020] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
Targeting the SMAD3 protein is an attractive therapeutic strategy for treating cancer, as it avoids the potential toxicities due to targeting the TGF-β signaling pathway upstream. Compound SIS3 was the first selective SMAD3 inhibitor developed that had acceptable activity, but its poor water solubility limited its development. Here, a series of SIS3 analogs was created to investigate the structure-activity relationship for inhibiting the activation of SMAD3. On the basis of this SAR, further optimization generated a water-soluble compound, 16d, which was capable of effectively blocking SMAD3 activation in vitro and had similar NK cell-mediated anticancer effects in vivo to its parent SIS3. This study not only provided a preferable lead compound, 16d, for further drug discovery or a potential tool to study SMAD3 biology, but also proved the effectiveness of our strategy for water-solubility driven optimization.

Abstract
In the light of recent lines of evidence, 5-HT6R ligands are a promising tool for future treatment of memory impairment. Hence, this study has supplied highly potent 5-HT6R agents with procognitive effects, which represent an original chemical class of 1,3,5-triazines, different from widely studied sulfone and indole-like 5-HT6R ligands. The new compounds were rationally designed as modifications of lead, 4-(1-(2-chlorophenoxy)ethyl)-6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1,3,5-triazin-2-amine (1), involving an introduction of: (i) two chlorines at benzene ring and (ii) varied linkers joining the triazine ring to aromatic ethers. Synthesis, in vitro and in vivo biological tests and computer-aided SAR analysis for 19 new compounds were carried out. Most of the new triazines displayed high affinity (Ki < 100 nM) and selectivity towards 5-HT6R, with respect to 5-HT2AR, 5-HT7R and D2R. The crystallography-supported docking studies, including quantum-polarized ligand docking (QPLD), indicated that chlorine atoms may be involved in different type of halogen bonding, however, the linker properties seem to predominately affect the 5-HT6R affinity. 4-[1-(2,5-Dichlorophenoxy)propyl]-6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1,3,5-triazin-2-amine (9), which displayed: the highest affinity (Ki = 6 nM), very strong 5-HT6R antagonistic action (KB = 27 pM), procognitive effects in vivo in novel object recognition (NOR) test in rats, a very good permeability in PAMPA model and satisfying safety in vitro, was identified as the most potent 1,3,5-triazine agent so far, useful as a new lead for further research.

The 1,3,5-Triazine Derivatives as Innovative Chemical Family of 5-HT 6 Serotonin Receptor Agents with Therapeutic Perspectives for Cognitive Impairment. Int J Mol Sci 2019; 20:ijms20143420. [PMID: 31336820 PMCID: PMC6678253 DOI: 10.3390/ijms20143420] [Citation(s) in RCA: 41] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2019] [Revised: 07/05/2019] [Accepted: 07/07/2019] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Among serotonin receptors, the 5-HT6 subtype is the most controversial and the least known in the field of molecular mechanisms. The 5-HT6R ligands can be pivotal for innovative treatment of cognitive impairment, but none has reached pharmacological market, predominantly, due to insufficient “druglikeness” properties. Recently, 1,3,5-triazine-piperazine derivatives were identified as a new chemical family of potent 5-HT6R ligands. For the most active triazine 5-HT6R agents found (1–4), a wider binding profile and comprehensive in vitro evaluation of their drug-like parameters as well as behavioral studies and an influence on body mass in vivo were investigated within this work. Results indicated the most promising pharmacological/druglikeness profiles for 4-((1H-indol-3-yl)methyl)-6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1,3,5-triazin-2-amine (3) and 4-((2-isopropyl-5-methylphenoxy)methyl)-6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1,3,5-triazin-2-amine (4), which displayed a significant procognitive action and specific anxiolytic-like effects in the behavioral tests in vivo together with satisfied pharmaceutical and safety profiles in vitro. The thymol derivative (4) seems to be of higher importance as a new lead candidate, due to the innovative, non-indole and non-sulfone structure with the best 5-HT6R binding properties.

Abstract
Previously, we have shown that 1-substituted-[4-(7-phenoxyheptylpiperazin-1-yl)butyl]guanidine with electron withdrawing substituents at position 4 in the benzyl moiety exhibits high in vitro affinities toward the guinea pig jejunal histamine H3 receptor with pA 2 ranging from 8.49 to 8.43. Here, we present data on the impact of replacement of the piperazine scaffold by the piperidine ring (compounds 2a and 2b), moving benzyl- and 4-trifluoromethylbenzyl substituents from position 1 to 3 of the guanidine moiety (compounds 2c and 2d), which decreases the guanidine basicity (compound 2e), and the influence of individual synthons (compounds 2f-h), present in the lead compounds 1b and 1c, on the antagonistic activity against the histamine H3 receptor. Additionally, the most active compounds 1a, 1c, and 1d were evaluated for their affinity to the rat histamine H3 receptor and the human histamine H3 and H4 receptors. It was also shown that compounds 1a, 1c and 1d, given parenterally for five days, reduced the food intake of rats and did not influence the brain histamine or noradrenaline concentrations; however, significantly reduced serotonin and dopamine concentrations were found in rats administered with compounds 1a and 1c, respectively.

Synthesis and computer-aided analysis of the role of linker for novel ligands of the 5-HT 6 serotonin receptor among substituted 1,3,5-triazinylpiperazines. Bioorg Chem 2018; 84:319-325. [PMID: 30530073 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2018.11.046] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2018] [Revised: 11/21/2018] [Accepted: 11/24/2018] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
A series of 2-amino-4-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1,3,5-triazines was designed based on previously published 2-amino-4-benzyl-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1,3,5-triazines in order to evaluate the role of a linker between the triazine moiety and an aromatic substituent for the human serotonin 5-HT6 receptor affinity. As new linkers two carbon atoms (ethyl or ethenyl) or an oxyalkyl chain (methoxy, 2-ethoxy, 2-propoxy) were introduced. Affinities of the compounds for the 5-HT6R as the main target, and for the 5-HT1AR, 5-HT7R and D2R as competitive ones, were determined in the radioligand binding assays. Docking to the 5-HT6R homology model was performed to support SAR analysis. Results showed that the branching of the methoxyl linker increased affinity for the human 5-HT6R whereas an unsaturated bond within the linker dramatically reduced desirable activity. Both experimental and theoretical studies confirmed the previously postulated beneficial role of the aromatic size for interaction with the 5-HT6R. Thus, the largest naphthyl moiety yielded the highest activity. In particular, 4-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-6-(1-(naphthalen-1-yloxy)ethyl)-1,3,5-triazin-2-amine (24), the most potent 5-HT6R agent found (Ki = 23 nM), can be a new lead structure for further search and development.

Abstract
Triazines are heterocyclic compounds with a variety of biological activities that have been increasingly studied in recent years due to their versatile structure (three isoforms) and the different derivatives that can be synthesized from them to ensure functional motifs. This systematic review provides the evidence in the literature of the in vitro and in vivo anti-inflammatory activity of triazine derivatives from 2008 to June 2018. Four bibliographical databases were consulted (PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE and Scopus), and a total of 48 studies were included in this paper based on our eligibility criteria. Although 35.17% of evaluated triazines were demonstrated to be promising anti-inflammatory agents, further studies need to be conducted to explore their pharmacological profiles in the medical research of drug discovery to control the risk factors and pathophysiology of several chronic inflammation-based diseases.

Abstract
The imidazole-based H3R antagonist 2-18 with high in vitro H3R antagonist affinity, excellent in vitro selectivity profile, and high in vivo H3R antagonist potency was tested for its anticonvulsant effect in maximal electroshock (MES)-induced convulsions in mice having valproic acid (VPA) as a reference antiepileptic drug (AED). Additionally, H3R antagonist 2-18 was evaluated for its reproductive toxicity in the same animal species. The results show that acute systemic administration (intraperitoneal; i.p.) of H3R antagonist 2-18 (7.5, 15, 30, and 60 mg/kg, i.p.) significantly and dose dependently protected male as well as female mice against MES-induced convulsion. The protective action observed for H3R antagonist 2-18 in both mice sexes was comparable to that of VPA and was reversed when mice were pretreated with the selective H3R agonist (R)-alpha-methylhistamine (RAMH, 10 mg/kg, i.p.). Moreover, the results show that acute systemic administration of single (7.5, 15, 30, or 60 mg/kg, i.p.) or multiple doses (15×3 mg/kg, i.p.) of H3R antagonist 2-18 on gestation day (GD) 8 or 13 did not affect the maternal body weight of mice when compared with the control group. Furthermore, no significant differences were observed in the average number of implantations and resorptions between the control and H3R antagonist 2-18-treated group at the early stages of gestation and the organogenesis period. However, oral treatment with H3R antagonist 2-18 (15 mg/kg) on GD 8 induced a reduced number of live embryos when compared with the i.p.-treated mice. In addition, no significant changes in the fetal body and placental weights were observed after injection of H3R antagonist 2-18 with all selected doses. However, three dose groups of i.p. and oral 15 mg/kg on GD 13 significantly affected the placental weight when compared with control group. Notably, the treatment of pregnant female with the H3R antagonist 2-18 did not produce significant malformation in the fetus in both groups. In conclusion, the novel H3R antagonist 2-18 proves to be a very safe compound and displays a low incidence of malformations, demonstrating that H3R antagonist 2-18 may have a potential future therapeutic value in epilepsy.

Abstract
The work describes a discovery of new chemical family of potent ligands for the 5-HT6 serotonin receptors. During the search for new histamine H4 receptor antagonists among 1,3,5-triazine derivatives, compound 2 (4-benzyl-6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1,3,5-triazin-2-amine) was found. Compound 2, weakly active for the H4 receptor but fitted in 3/4 of pharmacophore features of the 5-HT6R ligand, occurred to be a moderate 5-HT6R agent, useful as a lead structure for further modifications. A series of new derivatives (3-19) of the lead 2 was synthesized, evaluated in the radioligand binding assay (RBA) and explored in comprehensive molecular modelling, including both pharmacophore- and structure-based approaches with docking to the homology model of 5-HT6R. The most active compounds displayed a potent affinity for the 5-HT6R in the nanomolar range (Ki = 20-30 nM), some of them (4, 11 and 19) were tested in the rat forced swim test that revealed their antidepressant-like effect. SAR-analysis on the basis of both, RBA and docking results, indicated that action on the receptor is related to the hydrophobicity and the size of aromatic moiety substituted by a methylene linker at the position 4 of 1,3,5-triazine.

Abstract
A series of twelve novel non-imidazole-based ligands (3–14) was developed and evaluated for its in vitro binding properties at the human histamine H3 receptor (hH3R). The novel ligands were investigated for their in vivo protective effects in different seizure models in male adult rats. Among the H3R ligands (3–14) tested, ligand 14 showed significant and dose-dependent reduction in the duration of tonic hind limb extension in maximal electroshock (MES)-induced seizure model subsequent to acute systemic administration (5, 10, and 20 mg/kg, intraperitoneally), whereas ligands 4, 6, and 7 without appreciable protection in MES model were most promising in pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) model. Moreover, the protective effect observed for ligand 14 in MES model was lower than that observed for the reference drug phenytoin and was entirely abrogated when rats were co-administered with the brain-penetrant H1R antagonist pyrilamine (PYR) but not the brain-penetrant H2R antagonist zolantidine (ZOL), demonstrating that histaminergic neurotransmission by activation of postsynaptically located H1Rs seems to be involved in the protective action. On the contrary, PYR and ZOL failed to abrogate the full protection provided by 4 in PTZ model and the moderate protective effect by 14 in strychnine (STR) model. Moreover, the experimental and in silico estimation of properties such as metabolism was performed for five selected test compounds. Also, lipophilicity using planar reversed-phase thin-layer chromatography method was included for better understanding of the molecular properties of the tested compounds. Additionally, the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination and toxicity parameters were evaluated for the most promising compounds 2, 4, 6, 7, and 14 utilizing in vitro methods. These interesting results highlight the potential of H3R ligands as new antiepileptic drugs or as adjuvants to available epilepsy medications.
