Synthesis, biological evaluation, and molecular modelling of substituted thiazolyl thiourea derivatives: A new class of prolyl oligopeptidase inhibitors. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 275:133571. [PMID: 38960243 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.133571] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2024] [Revised: 06/20/2024] [Accepted: 06/28/2024] [Indexed: 07/05/2024]
Abstract
Prolyl oligopeptidase (POP) is a compelling therapeutic target associated with aging and neurodegenerative disorders due to its pivotal role in neuropeptide processing. Despite initial promise demonstrated by early-stage POP inhibitors, their progress in clinical trials has been halted at Phase I or II. This impediment has prompted the pursuit of novel inhibitors. The current study seeks to contribute to the identification of efficacious POP inhibitors through the design, synthesis, and comprehensive evaluation (both in vitro and in silico) of thiazolyl thiourea derivatives (5a-r). In vitro experimentation exhibited that the compounds displayed significant higher potency as POP inhibitors. Compound 5e demonstrated an IC50 value of 16.47 ± 0.54 μM, representing a remarkable potency. A meticulous examination of the structure-activity relationship indicated that halogen and methoxy substituents were the most efficacious. In silico investigations delved into induced fit docking, pharmacokinetics, and molecular dynamics simulations to elucidate the intricate interactions, orientation, and conformational changes of these compounds within the active site of the enzyme. Moreover, our pharmacokinetic assessments confirmed that the majority of the synthesized compounds possess attributes conducive to potential drug development.

Abstract
The [3+2] cycloaddition of sodium azide to nitriles to give 5-substituted 1H-tetrazoles is efficiently catalyzed by a Cobalt(II) complex (1) with a tetradentate ligand N,N-bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)quinolin-8-amine. Detailed mechanistic investigation shows the intermediacy of the cobalt(II) diazido complex (2), which has been isolated and structurally characterized. Complex 2 also shows good catalytic activity for the synthesis of 5-substituted 1H-tetrazoles. These are the first examples of cobalt complexes used for the [3+2] cycloaddition reaction for the synthesis of 1H-tetrazoles under homogeneous conditions.

Abstract
A series of novel 5-aminothiazole-based ligands for prolyl oligopeptidase (PREP) comprise selective, potent modulators of the protein-protein interaction (PPI)-mediated functions of PREP, although they are only weak inhibitors of the proteolytic activity of PREP. The disconnected structure-activity relationships are significantly more pronounced for the 5-aminothiazole-based ligands than for the earlier published 5-aminooxazole-based ligands. Furthermore, the stability of the 5-aminothiazole scaffold allowed exploration of wider substitution patterns than that was possible with the 5-aminooxazole scaffold. The intriguing structure-activity relationships for the modulation of the proteolytic activity and PPI-derived functions of PREP were elaborated by presenting a new binding site for PPI modulating PREP ligands, which was initially discovered using molecular modeling and later confirmed through point mutation studies. Our results suggest that this new binding site on PREP is clearly more important than the active site of PREP for the modulation of its PPI-mediated functions.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by degeneration of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons and accumulation of α-synuclein (αSyn) as Lewy bodies. Currently, there is no disease-modifying therapy available for PD. We have shown that a small molecular inhibitor for prolyl oligopeptidase (PREP), KYP-2047, relieves αSyn-induced toxicity in various PD models by inducing autophagy and preventing αSyn aggregation. In this study, we wanted to study the effects of PREP inhibition on different αSyn species by using cell culture and in vivo models. We used Neuro2A cells with transient αSyn overexpression and oxidative stress or proteasomal inhibition-induced αSyn aggregation to assess the effect of KYP-2047 on soluble αSyn oligomers and on cell viability. Here, the levels of soluble αSyn were measured by using ELISA, and the impact of KYP-2047 was compared to anle138b, nilotinib and deferiprone. To evaluate the effect of KYP-2047 on αSyn fibrillization in vivo, we used unilateral nigral AAV1/2-A53T-αSyn mouse model, where the KYP-2047 treatment was initiated two- or four-weeks post injection. KYP-2047 and anle138b protected cells from αSyn toxicity but interestingly, KYP-2047 did not reduce soluble αSyn oligomers. In AAV-A53T-αSyn mouse model, KYP-2047 reduced significantly proteinase K-resistant αSyn oligomers and oxidative damage related to αSyn aggregation. However, the KYP-2047 treatment that was initiated at the time of symptom onset, failed to protect the nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons. Our results emphasize the importance of whole αSyn aggregation process in the pathology of PD and raise an important question about the forms of αSyn that are reasonable targets for PD drug therapy.

Abstract
A novel heterogeneous catalyst has been developed using chitosan-zeolite supported Pd nanoparticles (PdNPs@CS-Zeo) and used in an efficient synthesis of 5-substituted-1H-tetrazoles from aryl halides with high yields for relatively short reaction times with an easy work-up procedure. In this method, highly effective and reusable PdNPs@CS-Zeo catalyst was used in the reaction of various aryl iodides/bromides with K4[Fe(CN)6] as a non-toxic cyanide source to catalyze the [2 + 3] cycloaddition of the corresponding aryl nitriles with NaN3 in the sequential one-pot preparation of 5-substituted-1H-tetrazoles. The synthesized PdNPs@CS-Zeo nanocatalyst was characterized using XRD, FTIR, TEM, HRTEM, XPS, Raman, TG-DTG, ICP-OES, BET, and EDS mapping. Additionally, the nanocatalyst could be effectively separated by filtration and reused for multiple times without significant decrease of catalytic activity.

Abstract
Prolyl oligopeptidase (POP) is a large cytosolic serine peptidase that is altered in patients with Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinsonian syndrome, muscular dystrophies, and other denervating diseases. Thus, POP may represent a relevant therapeutic target for treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders and neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we report the characterization of five novel cyanopyrrolidine-based compounds (BocTrpPrdN, BocGlyPrdN, CbzMetPrdN, CbzGlnPrdN, and CbzAlaPrdN) and show that they are potent inhibitors of POP and are predicted to penetrate the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Indeed, we show that CbzMetPrdN penetrates the rat BBB and effectively inhibits POP in the brain when administered intraperitoneally. Furthermore, molecular modeling confirmed these compounds likely inhibit POP via interaction with the POP catalytic site. We evaluated protective effects of the cyanopyrrolidine-based POP inhibitors using scopolamine- and maximal electroshock-induced models of amnesia in rats and showed that BocTrpPrdN, BocGlyPrdN, CbzMetPrdN, and CbzGlnPrdN significantly prolonged conditioned passive avoidance reflex (CPAR) retention time when administered intraperitoneally (1 and 2 mg/kg) before evaluation in both models of amnesia, although CbzAlaPrdN was not effective in scopolamine-induced amnesia. Our data support previous reports on the antiamnesic effects of prolinal-based POP inhibitors and indicate an important role of POP in the regulation of learning and memory processes in the CNS.

Abstract
![]()
Different five-membered
nitrogen-containing heteroaromatics in
the position of the typical electrophilic group in prolyl oligopeptidase
(PREP) inhibitors were investigated and compared to tetrazole. The
2-imidazoles were highly potent inhibitors of the proteolytic activity.
The binding mode for the basic imidazole was studied by molecular
docking as it was expected to differ from the acidic tetrazole. A
new putative noncovalent binding mode with an interaction to His680
was found for the 2-imidazoles. Inhibition of the proteolytic activity
did not correlate with the modulating effect on protein–protein-interaction-derived
functions of PREP (i.e., dimerization of alpha-synuclein and autophagy).
Among the highly potent PREP inhibiting 2-imidazoles, only one was
also a potent modulator of PREP-catalyzed alpha-synuclein dimerization,
indicating that the linker length on the opposite side of the molecule
from the five-membered heteroaromatic is critical for the disconnected
structure–activity relationships.

Abstract
Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease where the histopathological hallmark is glial cytoplasmic inclusions in oligodendrocytes, rich of aggregated alpha‐synuclein (aSyn). Therefore, therapies targeting aSyn aggregation and toxicity have been studied as a possible disease‐modifying therapy for MSA. Our earlier studies show that inhibition of prolyl oligopeptidase (PREP) with KYP‐2047 reduces aSyn aggregates in several models. Here, we tested the effects of KYP‐2047 on a MSA cellular models, using rat OLN‐AS7 and human MO3.13 oligodendrocyte cells. As translocation of p25α to cell cytosol has been identified as an inducer of aSyn aggregation in MSA models, the cells were transiently transfected with p25α. Similar to earlier studies, p25α increased aSyn phosphorylation and aggregation, and caused tubulin retraction and impaired autophagy in OLN‐AS7 cells. In both cellular models, p25α transfection increased significantly aSyn mRNA levels and also increased the levels of inactive protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A). However, aSyn or p25α did not cause any cellular death in MO3.13 cells, questioning their use as a MSA model. Simultaneous administration of 10 µM KYP‐2047 improved cell viability, decreased insoluble phosphorylated aSyn and normalized autophagy in OLN‐AS7 cells but similar impact was not seen in MO3.13 cells.
