Abstract
PURPOSE Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a complex chronic disease that includes obesity and hypertension, with rising evidence demonstrating that sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activation plays a key role. Our team designed a therapeutic vaccine called ADRQβ-004 targeting the α1D-adrenergic receptor (α1D-AR). This study was performed to investigate whether the ADRQβ-004 vaccine improves MetS by modulating SNS activity. METHODS C57BL/6N mice were fed a high-fat diet (HFD) and Nω-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) combination diet for 18 weeks to elicit MetS. The MetS mice were subcutaneously immunized with the ADRQβ-004 vaccine four times to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy in obesity and hypertension and other associated abnormalities related to MetS by conducting echocardiographic, histological, and biochemical analyses. RESULTS The ADRQβ-004 vaccine induced strong antibody production and maintained a high anti-ADR-004 antibody titer in MetS mice. The ADRQβ-004 vaccine improved obesity (P < 0.001) and decreased systolic blood pressure (P < 0.001). Improvements in dysregulated glucose homeostasis and dyslipidemia resulting from the ADRQβ-004 vaccine were also confirmed. Furthermore, the ADRQβ-004 vaccine attenuated cardiovascular functional (P = 0.015) and structural changes (P < 0.001), decreased fat accumulation (P = 0.012) and inflammation (P = 0.050) in the epididymal white adipose tissue, and alleviated hepatic steatosis (P = 0.043) involved in MetS. Moreover, the ADRQβ-004 vaccine improved systematic and visceral organs SNS activities in the MetS. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated for the first time that the ADRQβ-004 vaccine targeting α1D-AR improved obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and dysglycemia, and further reduced end-organ damage, which may provide new motivation for MetS research.

Abstract
Concern about the global emergence of multidrug-resistant fungal pathogens led us to explore the use of combination therapy to combat azole resistance in Candida auris. Clorgyline had previously been shown to be a multi-target inhibitor of Cdr1 and Mdr1 efflux pumps of Candida albicans and Candida glabrata. A screen for antifungal sensitizers among synthetic analogs of Clorgyline detected interactions with the C. auris efflux pump azole substrates Posaconazole and Voriconazole. Of six Clorgyline analogs, M19 and M25 were identified as potential sensitizers of azole resistance. M19 and M25 were found to act synergistically with azoles against resistant C. auris clade I isolates and recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains overexpressing C. auris efflux pumps. Nile Red assays with the recombinant strains showed M19 and M25 inhibited the activity of Cdr1 and Mdr1 efflux pumps that are known to play key roles in azole resistance in C. auris clades I, III, and IV. While Clorgyline, M19 and M25 uncoupled the Oligomycin-sensitive ATPase activity of Cdr1 from C. albicans and C. auris, their mode of action is yet to be fully elucidated. The experimental combinations described herein provides a starting point to combat azole resistance dominated by overexpression of CauCdr1 in C. auris clades I and IV and CauMdr1 in C. auris clade III.

Abstract
An efficient and new approach has been developed to synthesize bis(β,β'-dialkoxy carbonyl) derivatives through the reaction between N-tosylaziridines and malonate esters under ambient air using tBuOK in DMSO solvent. A plausible reaction pathway has been predicted. Control experiments suggested that the reactions proceed through the formation of α-aminoketones. This reaction offers a broad substrate scope, metal-free synthesis, excellent regioselectivity, easily accessible reactants, and simple operation. A gram-scale synthesis demonstrates the potential applications of the present method.

Abstract
Study on the pharmacophore model of α(1)-adrenoceptor (α(1)-AR) antagonists led to design a series of novel 7-mercaptocoumarin derivatives as α(1)-AR antagonists. All designed compounds have been synthesized and biologically evaluated. The results showed that most of them exhibited strong antagonistic activity. Especially compound 6 showed excellent activity, which was better than that of the reference compound prazosin. Structure-activity relationship studies revealed that small hydrophobic group at the terminal heterocyclic ring and ortho substituents on the phenyl ring of phenylpiperazine moiety were the essential structural factors for α(1)-AR antagonistic activity. The pharmacophore modeling studies further clarified their structural contributions to antagonistic activity and also demonstrated that 7-mercaptocoumarin moiety could be a useful scaffold for design of α(1)-AR antagonists.

Abstract
The α1A-adrenergic receptor (α1A-AR) antagonist is useful in treating benign prostatic hyperplasia, lower urinary tract symptoms, and cardiac arrhythmia. Three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) studies were performed on a set of α1A-AR antagonists of N-aryl and N-nitrogen class. Statistically significant models constructed from comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA) were established based on a training set of 32 ligands using pharmacophore-based molecular alignment. The leave-oneout cross-validation correlation coefficients were q2CoMFA = 0.840 and q2CoMSIA = 0.840. The high correlation between the cross-validated/predicted and experimental activities of a test set of 12 ligands revealed that the CoMFA and CoMSIA models were robust (r2pred/CoMFA = 0.694; r2pred/CoMSIA = 0.671). The generated models suggested that electrostatic, hydrophobic, and hydrogen bonding interactions play important roles between ligands and receptors in the active site. Our study serves as a guide for further experimental investigations on the synthesis of new compounds. Structural modifications based on the present 3D-QSAR results may lead to the discovery of other α1A-AR antagonists.

Abstract
The brain cannabinoid (CB(1)) receptor that mediates numerous physiological processes in response to marijuana and other psychoactive compounds is a G protein coupled receptor (GPCR) and shares common structural features with many rhodopsin class GPCRs. For the rational development of therapeutic agents targeting the CB(1) receptor, understanding of the ligand-specific CB(1) receptor interactions responsible for unique G protein signals is crucial. For a more than a decade, a combination of mutagenesis and computational modeling approaches has been successfully employed to study the ligand-specific CB(1) receptor interactions. In this review, after a brief discussion about recent advances in understanding of some structural and functional features of GPCRs commonly applicable to the CB(1) receptor, the CB(1) receptor functional residues reported from mutational studies are divided into three different types, ligand binding (B), receptor stabilization (S) and receptor activation (A) residues, to delineate the nature of the binding pockets of anandamide, CP55940, WIN55212-2 and SR141716A and to describe the molecular events of the ligand-specific CB(1) receptor activation from ligand binding to G protein signaling. Taken these CB(1) receptor functional residues, some of which are unique to the CB(1) receptor, together with the biophysical knowledge accumulated for the GPCR active state, it is possible to propose the early stages of the CB(1) receptor activation process that not only provide some insights into understanding molecular mechanisms of receptor activation but also are applicable for identifying new therapeutic agents by applying the validated structure-based approaches, such as virtual high throughput screening (HTS) and fragment-based approach (FBA).

Abstract
The emerging resistance to antimicrobial drugs demands the synthesis of new remedies for microbial infections. Attempts have been made to prepare new compounds by modifications in the quinolone structure. An important method for the synthesis of new quinolone is using Vilsmeier approach but has its own limitations. The present work aimed to synthesize novel norfloxacin analogues using modified Vilsmeier approach and conduct preliminary investigations for the evaluation of their physicochemical properties, photochemical probe, and antimicrobial effects. In an effort to synthesize norfloxacin analogues, only 7-bromo-6-N-benzyl piperazinyl-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid was isolated using Vilsmeier approach at high temperature, where N, N′-bis-(4-fluoro-3-nitrophenyl)-oxalamide and N, N′-bis-(3-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)-malonamide were obtained at low temperature. Correlation results showed that lipophilicity, molecular mass, and electronic factors might influence the activity. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antimicrobial effects against important pathogens, for their potential use in the inhibition of vitiligo.

Abstract
We have previously shown that a "reversed chloroquine (RCQ)" molecule, composed of a chloroquine-like moiety and a resistance reversal-like moiety, can overcome chloroquine resistance in P. falciparum ( Burgess , S. J. ; Selzer , A. ; Kelly , J. X. ; Smilkstein , M. J. ; Riscoe , M. K. ; Peyton , D. H. J. Med. Chem. 2006 , 49 , 5623 . Andrews , S. ; Burgess , S. J. ; Skaalrud , D. ; Kelly , J. X. ; Peyton , D. H. J. Med. Chem. 2010 , 53 , 916 ). Here, we present an investigation into the structure-activity relationship of the RCQ structures, resulting in an orally active molecule with good in vitro and in vivo antimalarial activity. We also present evidence of the mode of action, indicating that the RCQ molecules inhibit hemozoin formation in the parasite's digestive vacuole in a manner similar to that of chloroquine.

Abstract
Computer aided drug discovery for selective antagonism effects on alpha(1A) subtypes of G-protein coupled receptors are important in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Ligand-based pharmacophore models of N-Aryl and N-Heteroaryl piperazine alpha(1A)-antagonists were developed using two separate training sets. Pharmacophore models were generated using the flexible align method within the GALAHAD module, implemented in SYBYL8.1 software. The most significant pharmacophore hypothesis, characterized by the conflicting demands of maximizing pharmacophore consensus, maximizing steric consensus, and minimizing energy, consisted of one positive nitrogen center, one donor atom center, two acceptor atom centers, and two hydrophobic groups. The most active compound in each class training set showed a good fit with all features of the pharmacophore proposed. The resulting models also had something in common with the hypothesis using the Catalyst software reported in other publications. These alpha(1A) pharmacophore models could predict compounds well, both in the training set and the test set. The pharmacophore models were also validated by an external dataset using a portion of the ZINC database. A 3D-QSAR model using the pharmacophore model to align the compounds was established in this study. The CoMFA model with the cross-validated q(2) value of 0.735 revealed that the model was valid. Our research provides a valuable tool for designing new therapeutic compounds with desired biological activity.

Abstract
Fragment-based ligand design approaches, such as the multi-copy simultaneous search (MCSS) methodology, have proven to be useful tools in the search for novel therapeutic compounds that bind pre-specified targets of known structure. MCSS offers a variety of advantages over more traditional high-throughput screening methods, and has been applied successfully to challenging targets. The methodology is quite general and can be used to construct functionality maps for proteins, DNA, and RNA. In this review, we describe the main aspects of the MCSS method and outline the general use of the methodology as a fundamental tool to guide the design of de novo lead compounds. We focus our discussion on the evaluation of MCSS results and the incorporation of protein flexibility into the methodology. In addition, we demonstrate on several specific examples how the information arising from the MCSS functionality maps has been successfully used to predict ligand binding to protein targets and RNA.

Abstract
Point mutations and molecular modeling have been used to study the activation of the M(1) muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) by the functionally selective agonists 4-n-butyl-1-[4-(2-methylphenyl)-4-oxo-1-butyl]-piperidine (AC-42), and 1-[3-(4-butyl-1-piperidinyl)propyl]-3,4-dihydro-2(1H)-quinolinone (77-LH-28-1), comparing them with N-desmethylclozapine (NDMC) and acetylcholine (ACh). Unlike NDMC and ACh, the activities of AC-42 and 77-LH-28-1 were undiminished by mutations of Tyr404 and Cys407 (transmembrane helix 7), although they were reduced by mutations of Tyr408. Signaling by AC-42, 77-LH-28-1, and NDMC was reduced by L102A and abolished by D105E, suggesting that all three may interact with transmembrane helix 3 at or near the binding site Asp105 to activate the M(1) mAChR. In striking contrast to NDMC and ACh, the affinities of AC-42 and 77-LH-28-1 were increased 100-fold by W101A, and their signaling activities were abolished by Y82A. Tyr82 and Leu102 contact the indole ring of Trp101 in a structural model of the M(1) mAChR. We suggest the hypothesis that the side chain of Trp101 undergoes conformational isomerization, opening a novel binding site for the aromatic side chain of the AC-42 analogs. This may allow the positively charged piperidine nitrogen of the ligands to access the neighboring Asp105 carboxylate to activate signaling following a vector within the binding site that is distinct from that of acetylcholine. NDMC does not seem to use this mechanism. Subtype-specific differences in the free energy of rotation of the side chain and indole ring of Trp101 might underlie the M(1) selectivity of the AC-42 analogs. Tryptophan conformational isomerization may open up new avenues in selective muscarinic receptor drug design.

Abstract
Clinical properties of atypical antipsychotics are based on their interaction with D(2) dopamine receptor and serotonin 5-HT(1A) and 5-HT(2A) receptors. As a part of our research program on new antipsychotics, we synthesized various derivatives of 1-cinnamyl-4-(2-methoxyphenyl)piperazines, and evaluated their affinities for D(2), 5-HT(1A), 5-HT(2A), and adrenergic (alpha(1)) receptors using radioligand-binding assays. In addition, we performed docking analysis using models for the D(2) and 5-HT(1A) receptors. All compounds exhibited low to moderate affinity to 5-HT(1A) and 5-HT(2A) receptors, high affinity to the D(2 )receptor and large variability in affinities for the alpha(1) receptor. Docking analysis indicated that the binding to D(2) and 5-HT(1A) receptors is based on (i) interaction between protonated N1 of the piperazine ring and various aspartate residues, (ii) hydrogen bonds between various moieties of the ligand and the residues of threonine, serine, histidine or tryptophane, and (iii) edge-to-face interactions of the aromatic ring of the arylpiperazine moiety with phenylalanine or tyrosine residues. Docking data for the D(2) receptor can account for the binding properties obtained in binding assays, suggesting that the model is reliable and robust. However, docking data for the 5-HT(1A) receptor cannot account for actual binding properties, suggesting that further refinement of the model is required.

Abstract
In this study, we have developed a two model system to mimic the active and inactive states of a G-protein coupled receptor specifically the alpha1A adrenergic receptor. We have docked two agonists, epinephrine (phenylamine type) and oxymetazoline (imidazoline type), as well as two antagonists, prazosin and 5-methylurapidil, into two alpha1A receptor models, active and inactive. The best docking complexes for both agonists had hydrophilic interactions with D106, while neither antagonist did. Prazosin and oxymetazoline had hydrophobic interactions with F308 and F312. We predict from our study that the active state is stabilized by the interaction of F193 with I114, L197, V278, F281, and V282. The active state is further stabilized by the interaction of F312 with L75, V79, and L80. We also predict that the inactive state of the receptor is stabilized by the interaction of F312 with W102, F288, and M292.

Abstract
Alpha1-adrenoceptors are G-protein coupled receptors found in a variety of vascular tissues and responsible for vasoconstriction. Selectivity for each of the three subtypes is an important consideration in drug design in order to minimise the possibility of side effects. Using Catalyst we developed ligand-based pharmacophores from alpha(1a,b,d)-selective antagonists available in the literature using three separate training sets. Four-feature pharmacophores were developed for the alpha(1a) and alpha(1b) subtype-selective antagonists and a five-feature pharmacophore was developed for the alpha(1d) subtype-selective antagonists. The alpha(1a) pharmacophore represents both class I and II compounds with good predictivity for other compounds outside the training set as well. The alpha(1b) pharmacophore best predicts the activity of prazosin analogues as these make up the majority of alpha(1b)-selective antagonists. Unexpectedly, no positive ionisable feature was incorporated in the alpha(1b) pharmacophore. The alpha(1d) pharmacophore was based primarily on one structural class of compounds, but has good predictivity for a heterogeneous test set. Preliminary docking studies using AutoDock and optimised alpha1-adrenoceptor homology models, conducted with the antagonists prazosin (32) and 66, showed good agreement with the findings from the pharmacophores.

Abstract
The genetic function approximation (GFA) algorithm has been used to derive a three-term QSAR equation able to correlate the structural properties of arylpiperazine derivatives with their affinity toward the alpha1 adrenoceptor (alpha1-AR). The number of rotatable bonds, the hydrogen-bond properties, and a variable belonging to a topological family of descriptors (chi) showed significant roles in the binding process toward alpha1-AR. The new model was also compared to a previous pharmacophore for alpha1-AR antagonists and a QSAR model for alpha2-AR antagonists with the aim of finding common or different key determinants influencing both affinity and selectivity toward alpha1- and alpha2-AR.

Abstract
The antagonistic activities of derivatives of spiroethyl phenyl(substituted)piperazine at the 5-HT(1A) and adrenergic alpha(1d) receptors is quantitatively analyzed employing physicochemical and structural parameters. The derived correlation equation revealed that a substituent, other than 2-CH3 in the phenyl ring, having higher molar refraction, MR, and a substituent producing higher positive field effect at the 3-position are beneficial in increasing the binding affinity at the 5-HT(1A) receptor. In addition, a less hydrophobic substituent at the 4-position is also helpful in augmenting the binding affinity. The 5-R substituents which have higher MR values, however, elicit a detrimental effect. Two disubstituted compounds which are not present in the original data-set and have higher theoretical binding affinities are designed from the correlation equation. These compounds consisting of 2-OCH(CH3)2, 3-Cl and 2-C3H7, 3-Cl in the phenyl ring, have theoretical pK(i) values 10.57 and 10.12 respectively. For the adrenergic alpha(1d) receptor, a less bulky group at the 3-position with 5-Cl (or simply a 3-Cl) is advantageous in increasing the binding affinity. Likewise, a substituent exhibiting a less negative resonance effect at the 4-position and the substituent with low polarizability and showing more a negative resonance effect at the 5-position are suitable for enhancement of the binding affinity. The analysis provides the grounds for rationalizing substituent selection in designing better potency antagonists in the series.

Abstract
A number of enantiomeric pairs of naphthodioxane, tetrahydronaphthodioxane and naphthoxy analogues of WB-4101 (1) were designed and synthesized in order to improve the selectivity profile of the parent compound, hopefully in favour of the alpha(1a)-AR with respect to the other two alpha(1) subtypes and the 5-HT(1A) receptor. The new compounds 2-8 and, in addition, the two enantiomers of 1 were tested in binding assays on the alpha(1a)-AR, alpha(1b)-AR, alpha(1d)-AR, and the 5-HT(1A) receptor. Two of them, namely the naphtho- and tetrahydronaphthodioxane derivatives (S)-2 and (S)-3, showed lower, but significantly more specific alpha(1a) affinity than (S)-1, while the two enantiomers of the 2-methoxy-1-naphthoxy analogue 6 maintained most of the very high alpha(1a) affinity of (S)-1 and its alpha(1a) versus alpha(1b) selectivity slightly increasing the alpha(1a)/alpha(1d) and alpha(1a)/5HT(1A) affinity ratios. The SAR data were evaluated in the light of known alpha(1) subtype pharmacophores and of the alpha(1a)-AR binding mode of WB-4101 resultant from literature mutagenesis studies disclosing some interesting consonances with these models.

Abstract
A variety of cyclic five-membered imides was trifluoromethylated in good to excellent chemical yields using (trifluoromethyl)trimethylsilane CF3SiMe3 under fluoride ion catalysis. The method was successfully applied to the stereoselective synthesis of trifluoromethylated bi- and tricyclic lactams which could serve as precursors for designed thrombin inhibitors.
