Miyajima Y, Ochiai K, Fujii S. Design, Synthesis, and Evaluation of B-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl Phosphine-Borane Derivatives as Novel Progesterone Receptor Antagonists. Molecules 2024; 29:1587. [PMID: 38611867 PMCID: PMC11013038 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29071587] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2024] [Revised: 03/26/2024] [Accepted: 03/27/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024] Open
Abstract
We previously revealed that phosphine-boranes can function as molecular frameworks for biofunctional molecules. In the present study, we exploited the diversity of available phosphines to design and synthesize a series of B-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl phosphine-borane derivatives as novel progesterone receptor (PR) antagonists. We revealed that the synthesized phosphine-borane derivatives exhibited LogP values in a predictable manner and that the P-H group in the phosphine-borane was almost nonpolar. Among the synthesized phosphine-boranes, which exhibited PR antagonistic activity, B-(4-trifluoromethyl)phenyl tricyclopropylphosphine-borane was the most potent with an IC50 value of 0.54 μM. A docking simulation indicated that the tricyclopropylphosphine moiety plays an important role in ligand-receptor interactions. These results support the idea that phosphine-boranes are versatile structural options in drug discovery, and the developed compounds are promising lead compounds for further structural development of next-generation PR antagonists.

Abstract
Brain butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) is an attractive target for drugs designed for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in its advanced stages. It also potentially represents a biomarker for progression of this disease. Based on the crystal structure of previously described highly potent, reversible, and selective BChE inhibitors, we have developed the fluorescent probes that are selective towards human BChE. The most promising probes also maintain their inhibition of BChE in the low nanomolar range with high selectivity over acetylcholinesterase. Kinetic studies of probes reveal a reversible mixed inhibition mechanism, with binding of these fluorescent probes to both the free and acylated enzyme. Probes show environment-sensitive emission, and additionally, one of them also shows significant enhancement of fluorescence intensity upon binding to the active site of BChE. Finally, the crystal structures of probes in complex with human BChE are reported, which offer an excellent base for further development of this library of compounds.

Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21155584. [PMID: 32759847 PMCID: PMC7432827 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21155584] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2020] [Revised: 07/31/2020] [Accepted: 07/31/2020] [Indexed: 01/06/2023] Open
Abstract
First-generation nonsteroidal androgen receptor (AR) antagonists, such as flutamide (2a) and bicalutamide (3), are effective for most prostate cancer patients, but resistance often appears after several years due to the mutation of AR. Second-generation AR antagonists are effective against some of these castration-resistant prostate cancers, but their structural variety is still limited. In this study, we designed and synthesized 4-methyl-7-(N-alkyl-arylcarboxamido)coumarins as AR antagonist candidates and evaluated their growth-inhibitory activity toward androgen-dependent SC-3 cells. Coumarinamides with a secondary amide bond did not show inhibitory activity, but their N-methylated derivatives exhibited AR-antagonistic activity. Especially, 19b and 31b were more potent than the lead compound 7b, which was comparable to hydroxyflutamide (2b). Conformational analysis showed that the inactive coumarinamides with a secondary amide bond have an extended structure with a trans-amide bond, while the active N-methylated coumarinamides have a folded structure with a cis-amide bond, in which the two aromatic rings are placed face-to-face. Docking study suggested that this folded structure is important for binding to AR. Selected coumarinamide derivatives showed AR-antagonistic activity toward LNCaP cells with T877A AR, and they had weak progesterone receptor (PR)-antagonistic activity. The folded coumarinamide structure appears to be a unique pharmacophore, different from those of conventional AR antagonists.

Abstract
In four steps from the tricyclic core, palodesangren B trimethyl ether and palodesangren D dimethyl ether could be synthesized in 29 and 18% overall yields, respectively. A reaction sequence comprising the regioselective MgCl2-mediated Casnati-Skattebøl ortho-formylation of phenol, Wittig methylenation, acryloylation, and Ru(II)-catalyzed ring-closing metathesis (RCM) led to the formation of the final 2H-pyran-2-one ring of the desired tetracyclic core.

Abstract
We report here the development of phenylamino-1,3,5-triazine derivatives as novel nonsteroidal progesterone receptor (PR) antagonists. PR plays key roles in various physiological systems, including the female reproductive system, and PR antagonists are promising candidates for clinical treatment of multiple diseases. By using the phenylamino-1,3,5-triazine scaffold as a template structure, we designed and synthesized a series of 4-cyanophenylamino-1,3,5-triazine derivatives. The synthesized compounds exhibited PR antagonistic activity, and among them, compound 12n was the most potent (IC50 = 0.30 µM); it also showed significant binding affinity to the PR ligand-binding domain. Docking simulation supported the design rationale of the compounds. Our results suggest that the phenylamino-1,3,5-triazine scaffold is a versatile template for development of nonsteroidal PR antagonists and that the developed compounds are promising lead compounds for further structural development of nonsteroidal PR antagonists.

Abstract
The progesterone receptor (PR) plays an important role in various physiological systems, including female reproduction and the central nervous system, and PR antagonists are thought to be effective not only as contraceptive agents and abortifacients but also in the treatment of various diseases, including hormone-dependent cancers and endometriosis. Here, we identified phenanthridin-6(5H)-one derivatives as a new class of PR antagonists and investigated their structure-activity relationships. Among the synthesized compounds, 37, 40, and 46 exhibited very potent PR antagonistic activity with high selectivity for PR over other nuclear receptors. These compounds are structurally distinct from other nonsteroidal PR antagonists, including cyanoaryl derivatives, and should be useful for further studies of the clinical utility of PR antagonists.

PR plays key roles in various physiological systems, including the female reproductive system, and PR antagonists are candidates for clinical treatment of multiple diseases, including uterine leiomyoma, endometriosis, breast cancer, and some psychiatric disorders. We found that the benzenesulfonanilide skeleton functions as a novel scaffold for PR antagonists, and we adopted 3-chlorobenzenesulfonyl derivative 20a as a lead compound for structural development. Among the synthesized compounds, 3-trifluoromethyl derivative 32 exhibited the most potent PR-antagonistic activity, with high binding affinity for PR and selectivity over androgen receptor (AR). It is structurally distinct from other nonsteroidal PR antagonists, including cyanopyrrole derivatives, and further modification is expected to afford novel selective PR modulators.

Abstract
Progesterone is involved in multiple physiological processes, including female reproduction, via binding to the progesterone receptor (PR). We have developed 6-arylcoumarins such as 5 and 6 as non-steroidal PR antagonists with receptor-binding-dependent fluorescence. In this study, we investigated the structure-activity relationships and fluorescence properties of coumarin derivatives bearing a heterocyclic aromatic moiety. Among these derivatives, 7c (IC50: 34nM) and 10b (IC50: 24nM) showed more potent PR-antagonistic activity than lead compounds 5 (IC50: 500nM) and 6 (IC50: 65nM) in alkaline phosphatase (AP) assay. Compound 9b showed solvent-dependent fluorescence intensity, exhibiting strong fluorescence in the presence of PR LBD only in buffer solution. On the other hand, 10b showed a solvent-dependent shift of the fluorescence maximum wavelength in the presence of PR LBD. These results indicate that 6-arylcoumarin will be a useful scaffold for PR antagonists and fluorescent probes targeting PR.

Abstract
Coumarins are plant-derived natural products with a broad range of known pharmacological activities including anticancer effects. However, the molecular mechanisms by which this class of promising compounds exerts their anticancer effects remain largely unknown. We report here that a furanocoumarin named apaensin could effectively induce apoptosis of cancer cells through its activation of Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). Apoptosis induction by apaensin in cancer cells was suppressed by chemical inhibitors of JNK and p38 MAPK. Inhibition of the expression of orphan nuclear receptor Nur77 by small interfering RNA (siRNA) approach also abrogated the death effect of apaensin. Molecular analysis demonstrated that JNK activation was required for the nuclear export of Nur77, a known apoptotic event in cancer cells. Although p38 MAPK activation was not involved in Nur77 nuclear export, it was essential for Nur77 mitochondrial targeting through induction of Nur77 interaction with Bcl-2, which is also known to convert Bcl-2 from an antiapoptotic to a proapoptotic molecule. Together, our results identify a new natural product that targets orphan nuclear receptor Nur77 through its unique activation of JNK and p38 MAPK and provide insight into the complex regulation of the Nur77-Bcl-2 apoptotic pathway.

Abstract
We employed molecular modeling to design and then synthesize fluorescent ligands for the human progesterone receptor. Boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) or tetramethylrhodamine were conjugated to the progesterone receptor antagonist RU486 (Mifepristone) through an extended hydrophilic linker. The fluorescent ligands demonstrated comparable bioactivity to the parent antagonist in live cells and triggered nuclear translocation of the receptor in a specific manner. The BODIPY labeled ligand was applied to investigate the dependency of progesterone receptor nuclear translocation on partner proteins and to show that functional heat shock protein 90 but not immunophilin FKBP52 activity is essential. A tissue distribution study indicated that the fluorescent ligand preferentially accumulates in tissues that express high levels of the receptor in vivo. The design and properties of the BODIPY-labeled RU486 make it a potential candidate for in vivo imaging of PR by positron emission tomography through incorporation of (18)F into the BODIPY core.

Abstract
(E)-Alkyl ortho-hydroxycinnamates cyclize to coumarins at elevated temperatures of 140-250 °C. We find that the use of tri-n-butylphosphane (20 mol %) as a nucleophilic organocatalyst in MeOH solution allows cyclization to take place under much milder conditions (60-70 °C). Several coumarins were prepared, starting from ortho-hydroxyarylaldehydes, by Wittig reaction with Ph(3)P=CHCO(2)Me to (E)-methyl ortho-hydroxycinnamates, followed by the phosphane catalyzed cyclization.
