Abstract
The sulfamide functional group has been extensively employed in organic synthesis to discover probes and drugs in various applications such as cancer, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), virus, and diabetes. Herein, we describe the synthesis of 7-membered symmetric and unsymmetric sulfamide compounds and their biological evaluation through the National Cancer Institute (NCI) panel of 60 human tumor cell lines (NCI-60) and the mechanism of action study. The results of a study from the NCI-60 cell line exhibited that many synthesized cyclic sulfamide compounds inhibited breast cancer (MDA-MB-468). The mechanism of action study of a representative compound 18 showed the inhibition of proliferation and apoptosis in A549 lung cancer cells.

Abstract
Selective inhibitors of target serine proteinases have a potential therapeutic role for the treatment of various inflammatory and related diseases. We develop a comparative quantitative structure-activity relationships based analysis on compounds embodying the 1,2,5-thiadiazolidin-3-one 1,1-dioxide scaffold. By means of classical Molecular Dynamics we obtain the conformation of each lowest-energy molecular structure from which we derive more than a thousand of structural descriptors necessary for building predictive QSAR models. We resort to two different modeling approaches with the purpose of testing the consistency of our results: (a) multivariable linear regressions based on the replacement method and forward stepwise regression, and (b) the calculation of flexible descriptors with the CORAL program. All the models are properly validated by means of standard procedures. The resulting QSAR models are supposed to be of great utility for the rational search and design (including synthesis and/or in vitro biochemical studies) of new effective non-peptidyl inhibitors of serine proteinases.

Abstract
Mast cells make and secrete an abundance of peptidases, which are stored in such large amounts in granules that they comprise a high fraction of all cellular protein. Perhaps no other immune cell is so generously endowed with peptidases. For many years after the main peptidases were first described, they were best known as markers of degranulation, for they are released locally in response to mast cell stimulation and can be distributed systemically and detected in blood. The principal peptidases are tryptases, chymases, carboxypeptidase A3, and dipeptidylpeptidase I (cathepsin C). Numerous studies suggest that these enzymes are important and even critical for host defense and homeostasis. Endogenous and allergen or pathogen-associated targets have been identified. Belying the narrow notion of peptidases as proinflammatory, several of the peptidases limit inflammation and toxicity of endogenous peptides and venoms. The peptidases are interdependent, so that absence or inactivity of one enzyme can alter levels and activity of others. Mammalian mast cell peptidases--chymases and tryptases especially--vary remarkably in number, expression, biophysical properties, and specificity, perhaps because they hyper-evolved under pressure from the very pathogens they help to repel. Tryptase and chymase involvement in some pathologies stimulated development of therapeutic inhibitors for use in asthma, lung fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension, ulcerative colitis, and cardiovascular diseases. While animal studies support the potential for mast cell peptidase inhibitors to mitigate certain diseases, other studies, as in mice lacking selected peptidases, predict roles in defense against bacteria and parasites and that systemic inactivation may impair host defense.

Abstract
A highly regioselective synthesis of bicyclic sulfamides is described. Based on our recent discovery that bromoallenes can act as allyl dication equivalents in the presence of a palladium catalyst and alcohol, we investigated tandem cyclization of bromoallenes bearing a sulfamide group. It is found that some bromoallenes act as allyl dication equivalents even in the absence of a palladium(0) catalyst to afford cyclosulfamides containing five- or six-membered rings. While the palladium-free cyclization is dependent on the substrate structure affording the bicyclic sulfamides through the first cyclization onto the proximal or central carbon atom of the bromoallenes, the palladium-catalyzed reaction strongly promotes the first cyclization onto the central allenic carbon atom to afford bicyclic sulfamides containing a seven- or eight-membered ring. Formation of two types of bicyclic sulfamides from single bromoallenes by simply changing the reaction conditions is also described.

Abstract
Sulfamide, a quite simple molecule incorporating the sulfonamide functionality, widely used by medicinal chemists for the design of a host of biologically active derivatives with pharmacological applications, may give rise to at least five types of derivatives, by substituting one to four hydrogen atoms present in it, which show specific biological activities. Recently, some of these compounds started to be exploited for the design of many types of therapeutic agents. Among the enzymes for which sulfamide-based inhibitors were designed, are the carbonic anhydrases (CAs), a large number of proteases belonging to the aspartic protease (HIV-1 protease, gamma-secretase), serine protease (elastase, chymase, tryptase, and thrombin among others), and metalloprotease (carboxypeptidase A (CPA) and matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)) families. Some steroid sulfatase (STS) and protein tyrosine phosphatase inhibitors belonging to the sulfamide class of derivatives have also been reported. In all these compounds, many of which show low nanomolar affinity for the target enzymes for which they have been designed, the free or substituted sulfamide moiety plays important roles for the binding of the inhibitor to the active site cavity, either by directly coordinating to a metal ion found in some metalloenzymes (CAs, CPA, STS), usually by means of one of the nitrogen atoms present in the sulfamide motif, or as in the case of the cyclic sulfamides acting as HIV protease inhibitors, interacting with the catalytically critical aspartic acid residues of the active site by means of an oxygen atom belonging to the HN-SO2-NH motif, which substitutes a catalytically essential water molecule. In other cases, the sulfamide moiety is important for inducing desired physico-chemical properties to the drug-like compounds incorporating it, such as enhanced water solubility, better bioavailability, etc., because of the intrinsic properties of this highly polarized moiety when attached to an organic scaffold. This interesting motif is thus of great value for the design of pharmacological agents with a lot of applications.

Abstract
Although the Burgess reagent (methoxycarbonylsulfamoyltriethylammonium hydroxide, inner salt) has found significant use in chemical synthesis as a dehydrating agent, almost no work has been directed towards its potential in other synthetic applications. As this article will detail, we have found that the Burgess reagent is remarkably effective at accomplishing a number of non-dehydrative synthetic tasks when applied to appropriate substrates, such as the formation of sulfamidates from 1,2-diols or epoxyalcohols, alpha- and beta-glycosylamines from carbohydrates, and cyclic sulfamides from 1,2-aminoalcohols. Beyond delineating the power of these new reaction manifolds, we also describe the construction of a group of alternative Burgess-type reagents that extends the scope of these new reactions even further.

Abstract
We describe herein the design, synthesis, and in vitro biochemical evaluation of a series of potent, time-dependent inhibitors of the mast cell-derived serine protease tryptase. The inhibitors were readily obtained by attaching various heterocyclic thiols, as well as a basic primary specificity residue P(1), to the 1,2,5-thiadiazolidin-3-one 1,1-dioxide scaffold. The inhibitors were found to be devoid of any inhibitory activity toward a neutral (elastase) or cysteine (papain) protease, however they were also fairly efficient inhibitors of bovine trypsin. The differential inhibition observed with trypsin suggests that enzyme selectivity can be optimized by exploiting differences in the S' subsites of the two enzymes. The results described herein demonstrate the versatility of the heterocyclic scaffold in fashioning mechanism-based inhibitors of neutral, basic, and acidic (chymo)trypsin-like serine proteases.

Abstract
A novel solid-phase strategy allows the efficient preparation of "traceless" sulfahydantoins. A total of 28 derivatives, with crude purity generally higher than 85%, were prepared by parallel synthesis. Through reductive alkylations, Mitsunobu reactions, and sulfamoylation reactions on oxime resin, the synthetic strategy affords sulfahydantoin derivatives selectively substituted at N(2), N(5) and N(2), N(5) positions, although yields of disubstituted compounds are lower. The mild reaction conditions involved lead to sulfahydantoins without racemization.

Abstract
A challenge associated with drug design is the development of selective inhibitors of proteases (serine or cysteine) that exhibit the same primary substrate specificity, that is, show a preference for the same P(1) residue. While these proteases have similar active sites, nevertheless there are subtle differences in their S and S' subsites which can be exploited. We describe herein for the first time the use of functionalized sulfonamides as a design and diversity element which, when coupled to the 1,2,5-thiadiazolidin-3-one 1,1 dioxide scaffold yields potent, time-dependent inhibitors of the serine proteases human leukocyte elastase (HLE), proteinase 3 (PR 3) and cathepsin G(Cat G). Our preliminary findings suggest that (a) appending to the 1,2,5-thiadiazolidin-3-one 1,1 dioxide scaffold recognition and diversity elements that interact with both the S and S' subsites of a target protease may result in optimal enzyme selectivity and potency and, (b) functionalized sulfonamides constitute a powerful design and diversity element with low intrinsic chemical reactivity and potentially wide applicability.

Abstract
We designed nonpeptidic chymase inhibitors based on the structure of a peptidic compound (1) and demonstrated that the combination of a pyrimidinone skeleton as a P3-P2 scaffold and heterocycles as P1 carbonyl-activating groups can function as a nonpeptidic chymase inhibitor. In particular, introduction of heterobicycles such as benzoxazole resulted in more potent chymase-inhibitory activity. Detailed structure-activity relationship studies on the benzoxazole moiety and substituents at the 2-position of the pyrimidinone ring revealed that 2r (Y-40079) had the most potent chymase-inhibitory activity (K(i) = 4.85 nM). This compound was also effective toward chymases of nonhuman origin and showed good selectivity for chymases over other proteases. Pharmacokinetic studies in rats indicated that 2r was absorbed slowly after oral administration and showed satisfactory bioavailability (BA) (T(max) = 6.0 +/- 2.3 h, BA = 19.3 +/- 6.6%, t(1/2) = 35.7 +/- 13.3 h). In conclusion, 2r is a novel, potent, and orally active chymase inhibitor which would be a useful tool in elucidating the pathophysiological roles of chymase.

Abstract
A series of 2-sec.amino-4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-ones was evaluated as acyl-enzyme inhibitors of human recombinant chymase. The compounds were also assayed for inhibition of human cathepsin G, bovine chymotrypsin, and human leukocyte elastase. Introduction of an aromatic moiety into the 2-substituent resulted in strong inhibition of chymase, cathepsin G, and chymotrypsin. Extension of the N(Me)CH2Ph substituent by one methylene unit was unfavourable to inhibit these proteases. Towards chymase, 2-(N-benzyl-N-methylamino)-4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-one (32) and 2-(N-benzyl-N-methylamino)-6-methyl-4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-one (33) were found to exhibit Ki values of 11 and 17 nM, respectively, and form stable acyl-enzymes with half-lives of 53 and 25 min, respectively. Benzoxazinone 33 also inhibited the human chymase-catalyzed formation of angiotensin 11 from angiotensin I.

Abstract
The 1,2,5-thiadiazolidin-3-one 1,1 dioxide scaffold (I) embodies a motif that allows it to dock to the active site of (chymo)trypsin-like proteases in a predictable and substrate-like fashion. Consequently, inhibitors derived from this heterocyclic scaffold interact with both the S and S' subsites of an enzyme. Exploitation of binding interactions with both the S and S' subsites of a target enzyme may lead to compounds with greatly enhanced enzyme selectivity and inhibitory potency. This preliminary report describes the use of a series of compounds having the heterocyclic scaffold linked to various amino acids to probe the S' subsites of human leukocyte elastase (HLE), proteinase 3 (PR 3), and cathepsin G (Cat G). For comparative purposes, a series of compounds derived from a related scaffold, isothiazolidin-3-one 1,1 dioxide (II), was also generated. Several of the compounds were found to be highly potent and selective time-dependent inhibitors of HLE, PR 3, and Cat G.

Abstract
The existence of subtle differences in the Sn' subsites of closely-related (chymo)trypsin-like serine proteases, and the fact that the 1,2,5-thiadiazolidin-3-one 1,1 dioxide scaffold docks to the active site of (chymo)trypsin-like enzymes in a substrate-like fashion, suggested that the introduction of recognition elements that can potentially interact with the Sn' subsites of these proteases might provide an effective means for optimizing enzyme potency and selectivity. Accordingly, a series of heterocyclic sulfide derivatives based on the 1,2,5-thiadiazolidin-3-one 1,1 dioxide scaffold (I) was synthesized and the inhibitory activity and selectivity of these compounds toward human leukocyte elastase (HLE), proteinase 3 (PR 3) and cathepsin G (Cat G) were then determined. Compounds with P1 = isobutyl were found to be potent, time-dependent inhibitors of HLE and, to a lesser extent PR 3, while those with P1 = benzyl inactivated Cat G rapidly and irreversibly. This study has demonstrated that 1,2,5-thiadiazolidin-3-one 1,1 dioxide-based heterocyclic sulfides are effective inhibitors of (chymo)trypsin-like serine proteases.

Abstract
A series of carboxylate derivatives based on the 1,2,5-thiadiazolidin-3-one 1,1 dioxide and isothiazolidin-3-one 1,1 dioxide scaffolds has been synthesized and the inhibitory profile of these compounds toward human leukocyte elastase (HLE), cathepsin G (Cat G) and proteinase 3 (PR 3) was then determined. Most of the compounds were found to be potent, time-dependent inhibitors of elastase, with some of the compounds exhibiting k(inact)/K1 values as high as 4,928,300 M(-1) s(-1). The inhibitory potency of carboxylate derivatives based on the 1,2,5-thiadiazolidin-3-one 1,1 dioxide platform was found to be influenced by both the pKa and the inherent structure of the leaving group. Proper selection of the primary specificity group (R(I)) was found to lead to selective inhibition of HLE over Cat G, however, those compounds that inhibited HLE also inhibited PR 3, albeit less efficiently. The predictable mode of binding of these compounds suggests that, among closely-related serine proteases, highly selective inhibitors of a particular serine protease can be fashioned by exploiting subtle differences in their S' subsites. This study has also demonstrated that the degradative action of elastase on elastin can be abrogated in the presence of inhibitor 17.
