Abstract
An extensive range of new biologically active morpholine based thiosemicarbazones derivatives 3a-r were synthesized, characterized by spectral techniques and evaluated as inhibitors of ENPP isozymes. Most of the novel thiosemicarbazones exhibit potent inhibition towards NPP1 and NPP3 isozymes. Compound 3 h was potent inhibitor of NPP1 with IC50 value of 0.55 ± 0.02. However, the most powerful inhibitor of NPP3 was 3e with an IC50 value of 0.24 ± 0.02. Furthermore, Lineweaver-Burk plot for compound 3 h against NPP1 and for compound 3e against NPP3 was devised through enzymes kinetics studies. Molecular docking and in silico studies was also done for analysis of interaction pattern of all newly synthesized compounds. The results were further validated by molecular dynamic (MD) simulation where the stability of conformational transformation of the best protein-ligand complex (3e) were justified on the basis of RMSD and RMSF analysis.

Abstract
Extracellular nucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1 (ENPP1) has been identified as a type II transmembrane glycoprotein. It plays a crucial role in various biological processes, such as bone mineralization, cancer cell proliferation, and immune regulation. Consequently, ENPP1 has garnered attention as a promising target for pharmacological interventions. Despite its potential, the development of clinical-stage ENPP1 inhibitors for solid tumors, diabetes, and silent rickets remains limited. However, there are encouraging findings from preclinical trials involving small molecules exhibiting favorable therapeutic effects and safety profiles. This perspective aims to shed light on the structural properties, biological functions and the relationship between ENPP1 and diseases. Additionally, it focuses on the structure-activity relationship of ENPP1 inhibitors, with the intention of guiding the future development of new and effective ENPP1 inhibitors.

Abstract
We herein report regio- and enantioselective arylation of β,γ-alkynyl-α-imino esters with pyrroloisoquinolines. Using chiral phosphoric acid catalysts, a wide range of novel axially chiral tetrasubstituted α-amino allenoates were accessed in good yields with excellent enantioselectivities. Notably, this transformation occurred preferentially at the sterically more hindered C1-position of pyrroloisoquinolines. The potential scalability and late-stage functionalization demonstrated the utility of the current protocol.

Abstract
This report describes a one-pot multi-step procedure to obtain double azahelicenes via nucleophilic fluorine substitution of 2,2-di(2-bromophenyl)-1,1-difluoroalkenes and palladium-catalysed ring closing reaction. The developed synthesis approach allows easy diversification of substituents at all four fragments of the obtained X-shaped aza[4,6]helicene entity. Yields range from 20 % to 60 % among 12 product examples. X-ray single crystal analysis reveals formation of (P,P) and (M,M) enantiomer mixture of products. Optical and electrochemical properties of selected products were studied by performing UV/Vis absorption, photoluminescence and cyclic voltammetry measurements. Experimental results are supported by (TD)-DFT, NICS and NICS2BC calculations.

Abstract
An easy synthesis of novel highly functionalized 5,6-dihydroindolo[2,1-a]isoquinolines was developed via a pseudo four-component domino reaction of 1-aroyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinolines, terminal α,β-ynones, and malononitrile. The selective formation of this biologically relevant heterocyclic core was achieved using a one-pot approach under microwave irradiation. The formation of the same skeleton through the reaction of 5,6-dihydropyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinolines with malonic acid dinitrile supports the proposed mechanism, involving the intermediate product of the three-component reaction. Furthermore, the disproval of an alternative reaction pathway, which involved the dimerization of malononitrile followed by three-component transformation, was demonstrated. Introducing the malononitrile dimer as a CH acid resulted in the formation of a different pyrido[3',4':4,5]pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline core. Additionally, the synthesized 5,6-dihydroindolo[2,1-a]isoquinolines were examined for their photophysical properties, revealing their attractive luminescent characteristics.

Abstract
A series of adamantyl carboxamide derivatives containing sulfonate or sulfonamide moiety were designed as multitargeted inhibitors of ectonucleotide pyrophosphatases/phosphodiesterases (NPPs) and carbonic anhydrases (CAs). The target compounds were investigated for their antiproliferative activity against NCI-60 cancer cell lines panel. Three main series composed of 3- and 4-aminophenol, 4-aminoaniline, and 5-hydroxyindole scaffolds were designed based on a lead compound (A). Compounds 1e (benzenesulfonyl) and 1i (4-fluorobenzenesulfonyl) of 4-aminophenol backbone exhibited the most promising antiproliferative activity. Both compounds exhibited a broad-spectrum and potent inhibition against all the nine tested cancer subtypes. Both compounds showed nanomolar IC50 values over several cancer cell lines that belong to leukemia and colon cancer such as K-562, RPMI-8226, SR, COLO 205, HCT-116, HCT-15, HT29, KM12, and SW-620 cell lines. Compounds 1e and 1i induced apoptosis in K-562 leukemia cells in a dose-dependent manner. Compound 1i showed the highest cytotoxic activity with IC50 value of 200 nM against HT29 cell line. In addition, compounds 1e and 1i were tested against normal breast cells (HME1) and normal skin fibroblast cells (F180) and the results revealed that the compounds are safe toward normal cells compared to cancers cells. Enzymatic assays against NPP1-3 and carbonic anhydrases II, IX, and XII were performed to investigate the possible molecular target(s) of compounds 1e and 1i. Furthermore, a molecular docking study was performed to predict the binding modes of compounds 1e and 1i in the active site of the most sensitive enzymes subtypes.

Discovery of Hepatotoxic Equivalent Markers and Mechanism of Polygonum multiflorum Thunb. by Metabolomics Coupled with Molecular Docking. MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 28:molecules28010025.

Abstract
Polygonum multiflorum Thunb. (PMT), a commonly used Chinese herbal medicine for treating diseases such as poisoning and white hair, has attracted constant attention due to the frequent occurrence of liver injury incidents. To date, its hepatotoxic equivalent markers (HEMs) and potential hepatotoxic mechanisms are still unclear. In order to clarify the HEMs of PMT and further explore the potential mechanisms of hepatotoxicity, firstly, the chemical constituents in PMT extract were globally characterized, and the fingerprints of PMT extracts were established along with the detection of their hepatotoxicity in vivo. Then, the correlations between hepatotoxic features and component contents were modeled by chemometrics to screen HEMs of PMT, which were then further evaluated. Finally, the hepatotoxic mechanisms of PMT were investigated using liver metabolomics and molecular docking. The results show that the chemical combination of 2,3,5,4-tetrahydroxystilbene-2-O-β-D-glucoside (TSG) and emodin-8-O-glucoside (EG) was discovered as the HEMs of PMT through pre-screening and verifying process. Liver metabolomics revealed that PMT caused liver injury by interfering with purine metabolism, which might be related to mitochondrial function disorder and oxidative injury via the up-regulations of xanthosine and xanthine, and the down-regulation of 5' nucleotidase (NT5E) and adenylate kinase 2 (AK2). This study not only found that the HEMs of PMT were TSG and EG, but also clarified that PMT might affect purine metabolism to induce liver injury, which contributed to our understanding of the underlying mechanisms of PMT hepatotoxicity.

Development of Novel Ecto-Nucleotide Pyrophosphatase/Phosphodiesterase 1 (ENPP1) Inhibitors for Tumor Immunotherapy. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23137104.

Abstract
The cyclic guanosine monophosphate–adenosine monophosphate synthase–stimulator of interferon genes–TANK-binding kinase 1–interferon regulating factor 3 (cGAS-STING-TBK1-IRF3) axis is now acknowledged as the major signaling pathway in innate immune responses. However, 2′,3′-cGAMP as a STING stimulator is easily recognized and degraded by ecto-nucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1 (ENPP1), which reduces the effect of tumor immunotherapy and promotes metastatic progression. In this investigation, the structure-based virtual screening strategy was adopted to discover eight candidate compounds containing zinc-binding quinazolin-4(3H)-one scaffold as ENPP1 inhibitors. Subsequently, these novel inhibitors targeting ENPP1 were synthesized and characterized by NMR and high-resolution mass spectra (HRMS). In bioassays, 7-fluoro-2-(((5-methoxy-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-yl)thio)methyl)quina-zolin-4(3H)-one(compound 4e) showed excellent activity against the ENPP1 at the molecular and cellular levels, with IC50 values of 0.188 μM and 0.732 μM, respectively. Additionally, compound 4e had superior selectivity towards metastatic breast cancer cells (4T1) than towards normal cells (LO2 and 293T) in comparison with cisplatin, indicating that compound 4e can potentially be used in metastatic breast cancer therapy. On the other hand, compound 4e upgraded the expression levels of IFN-β in vivo by preventing the ENPP1 from hydrolyzing the cGAMP to stimulate a more potent innate immune response. Therefore, this compound might be applied to boost antitumor immunity for cancer immunotherapy. Overall, our work provides a strategy for the development of a promising drug candidate targeting ENPP1 for tumor immunotherapy.

Abstract
Nucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase3 (NPP3) catalyzes the hydrolysis of extracellular nucleotides. It is expressed by immune cells and some carcinomas, e.g. of kidney and colon. Together with ecto-5'-nucleotidase (CD73), NPP3 produces immunosuppressive, cancer-promoting adenosine, and has therefore been proposed as a target for cancer therapy. Here we report on the discovery of 4-[(4-methylphthalazin-1-yl)amino]benzenesulfonamide (1) as an inhibitor of human NPP3 identified by compound library screening. Subsequent structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies led to the potent competitive NPP3 inhibitor 2-methyl-5-{4-[(4-sulfamoylphenyl)amino]phthalazin-1-yl}benzenesulfonamide (23, K i 53.7 nM versus the natural substrate ATP). Docking studies predicted its binding pose and interactions. While 23 displayed high selectivity versus other ecto-nucleotidases, it showed ancillary inhibition of two proposed anti-cancer targets, the carbonic anhydrases CA-II (Ki 74.7 nM) and CA-IX (Ki 20.3 nM). Thus, 23 may act as multi-target anti-cancer drug. SARs for NPP3 were steeper than for CAs leading to the identification of potent dual CA-II/CA-IX (e.g. 34) as well as selective CA-IX inhibitors (e.g. 31).

Abstract
Ecto-nucleotide pyrophosphatases/phosphodiesterases (NPPs) together with nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolases (NTPDases) and alkaline phosphatases (APs) are nucleotidases located at the surface of the cells. NPP1 and NPP3 are important members of NPP family that are known as druggable targets for a number of disorders such as impaired calcification, type 2 diabetes, and cancer. Sulfonylurea derivatives have been reported as antidiabetic and anticancer agents, therefore, we synthesized and investigated series of sulfonylurea derivatives 1a-m possessing pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine core as inhibitors of NPP1 and NPP3 isozymes that are over-expressed in cancer and diabetes. The enzymatic evaluation highlighted compound 1a as selective NPP1 inhibitor, however, 1c was observed as the most potent inhibitor of NPP1 with an IC50 value of 0.80 ± 0.04 μM. Compound 1l was found to be the most potent and moderately selective inhibitor of NPP3 (IC50 = 0.55 ± 0.01 μM). Furthermore, in vitro cytotoxicity assays of compounds 1a-m against MCF-7 and HT-29 cancer cell lines exhibited compound 1c (IC50 = 4.70 ± 0.67 μM), and 1h (IC50 = 1.58 ± 0.20 μM) as the most cytotoxic compounds against MCF-7 and HT-29 cancer cell lines, respectively. Both of the investigated compounds showed high degree of selectivity towards cancer cells than normal cells (WI-38). Molecular docking studies of selective and potent enzyme inhibitors revealed promising mode of interactions with important binding sites residues of both isozymes i.e., Thr256, His380, Lys255, Asn277 residues of NPP1 and His329, Thr205, and Leu239 residues of NPP3. In addition, the most potent antiproliferative agent, compound 1h, doesn't produce hypoglycemia as a side effect when injected to mice. This is an additional merit of the promising compound 1h.

Abstract
Ectonucleotidases are a broad family of ectoenzymes that play a crucial role in purinergic cell signaling. Ecto-nucleotide pyrophosphatases/phosphodiesterases (NPPs) belong to this group and are important drug targets. In particular, NPP1 and NPP3 are known to be druggable targets for treatment of impaired calcification disorders (including pathological aortic calcification) and cancer, respectively. In this study, we investigated a series of sulfonate and sulfamate derivatives of benzofuran and benzothiophene as potent and selective inhibitors of NPP1 and NPP3. Compounds 1c, 1g, 1n, and 1s are the most active NPP1 inhibitors (IC50 values in the range 0.12-0.95 µM). Moreover, compounds 1e, 1f, 1j, and 1l are the most potent inhibitors of NPP3 (IC50 ranges from 0.12 to 0.95 µM). Compound 1d, 1f and 1t are highly selective inhibitors of NPP1 over NPP3, whereas compounds 1m and 1s are found to be highly selective towards NPP3 over NPP1. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) study has been discussed in detailed. With the aid of molecular docking studies, a common binding mode of these compounds and suramin (the standard inhibitor) was revealed, where the sulfonate group acts as a cation-binding moiety that comes in close contact with the zinc ion of the active site. Moreover, cytotoxic evaluation against MCF-7 and HT-29 cancer cell lines revealed that compound 1r is the most cytotoxic towards MCF-7 cell line with IC50 value of 0.19 µM. Compound 1r is more potent and selective against cancer cells than normal cells (WI-38) as compared to doxorubicin.

Abstract
A two-step palladium-catalyzed procedure based on Suzuki–Miyaura cross coupling, followed by a double Buchwald–Hartwig reaction, allows for the synthesis of pharmaceutically relevant benzo[4,5]furo[3,2-b]indoles in moderate to very good yield. The synthesized compounds have been analyzed with regard to their inhibitory activity (IC50) of nucleotide pyrophosphatases h-NPP1 and h-NPP3. The activity lies in the nanomolar range. The results were rationalized based on docking studies.

Abstract
Ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase I (ENPP1) was identified several decades ago as a type II transmembrane glycoprotein with nucleotide pyrophosphatase and phosphodiesterase enzymatic activities, critical for purinergic signaling. Recently, ENPP1 has emerged as a critical phosphodiesterase that degrades the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) ligand, cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP). cGAMP or analogs thereof have emerged as potent immunostimulatory agents, which have potential applications in immunotherapy. This emerging role of ENPP1 has placed this "old" enzyme at the frontier of immunotherapy. This review highlights the roles played by ENPP1, the mechanism of cGAMP hydrolysis by ENPP1, and small molecule inhibitors of ENPP1 with potential applications in diverse disease states, including cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Among the different types of cancers, breast cancer, bone cancer and cervical cancer are the most common gender specific cancer types that are affecting the women worldwide. Currently, many enzymatic and cellular pathways are known as drug targets for the treatment of cancer. Even though many improvements have been made in the therapy of various types of cancer, but the major disadvantage of available anti-cancer drugs is their non-selective behavior towards cancer cells as well as normal cells. OBJECTIVES In the light of this fact, the searching of new compounds with selective behavior only towards cancer cells is critically important. Previously, we have identified several series of compounds as the potential inhibitors of these families. METHODS Herein, we investigate quinolones and quinolines for their anti-cancer activity against breast cancer cells (MCF-7), bone marrow cancer cells (K-562) and cervical cancer cells (HeLa) by MTT assay. The most effective derivatives were further subjected to flow cytometry analysis followed by fluorescence microscopic analysis by using 4´,6-diamidine-2´-phenylindole (DAPI) and propidium staining (PI) staining. RESULTS All the tested compounds were found selective only towards cancer cells. The identified compounds also induced either G2 or S-phase cell cycle arrest within the respective cancer cell line, chromatin condensation and the nuclear fragmentation, as well as maximum interaction with DNA. CONCLUSIONS These results provide evidence that the characteristic chemical features of attached groups are the key factors for their anticancer effects and play a useful role in revealing the mechanisms of action in relation to the known compounds in future research programs.

Abstract
A new series of raloxifene sulfonate/sulfamate derivatives were designed and synthesized. The target compounds were tested for inhibitory effect against nucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase-1 and -3 (NPP1 and NPP3) enzymes. Furthermore, all the ten target compounds were subjected to cytotoxic studies on various cancer cell lines, and the most potent derivatives were explored for their potency against these cancer cell lines as well as F180 fibroblasts to investigate the selectivity indexes. Compound 1f exerted the highest potency against HT-29 colon cancer cell line (IC50 = 1.4 μM) with 8.43-fold selectivity towards HT-29 than F180 fibroblasts. Compound 1f exerted sub-micromolar IC50 values against NPP1 and NPP3 (IC50 = 0.29 μM and 0.71 μM, respectively). The most potent inhibitors were docked in developed homology model of NPP1 and crystal structure of NPP3. All the docked analogues manifested remarkable interactions within the active pocket of NPP1 and NPP3.

Abstract
A new series of sulfonate derivatives 1a-zk were synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of nucleotide pyrophosphatases. Most of the compounds exhibited good to moderate inhibition towards NPP1, NPP2, and NPP3 isozymes. Compound 1m was a potent and selective inhibitor of NPP1 with an IC50 value of 0.387 ± 0.007 µM. However, the most potent inhibitor of NPP3 was found as 1x with an IC50 value of 0.214 ± 0.012 µM. In addition, compound 1e was the most active inhibitor of NPP2 with an IC50 value of 0.659 ± 0.007 µM. Docking studies of the most potent compounds were carried out, and the computational results supported the in vitro results.

Probing the high potency of pyrazolyl pyrimidinetriones and thioxopyrimidinediones as selective and efficient non-nucleotide inhibitors of recombinant human ectonucleotidases. Bioorg Chem 2019; 88:102893.

Abstract
With the aim to discover novel, efficient and selective inhibitors of human alkaline phosphatase and nucleotide pyrophosphatase enzymes, two new series of pyrazolyl pyrimidinetriones (PPTs) (6a-g) and thioxopyrimidinediones (PTPs) (6h-n) were synthesized in good chemical yields using Knoevenagel condensation reaction between pyrazole carbaldehydes (4a-g) and pharmacologically active N-alkylated pyrimidinetrione (5a) and thioxopyrimidinedione (5b). The inhibition potential of the synthesized hybrid compounds was evaluated against human alkaline phosphatase (h-TNAP and h-IAP) and ectonucleotidase (h-NPP1 and h-NPP3) enzymes. Most of the tested analogs were highly potent with a variable degree of inhibition depending on the functionalized hybrid structure. The detailed structure-activity relationship (SAR) of PPT and PTP derivatives suggested that the compound with unsubstituted phenyl ring from PPT series led to selective and potent inhibition (6a; IC50 = 0.33 ± 0.02 µM) of h-TNAP, whereas compound 6c selectively inhibited h-IAP isozyme with IC50 value of 0.86 ± 0.04 µM. Similarly, compounds 6b and 6h were identified as the lead scaffolds against h-NPP1 and h-NPP3, respectively. The probable binding modes for the most potent inhibitors were elucidated through molecular docking analysis. Structure-activity relationships, mechanism of action, cytotoxic effects and druglikeness properties are also discussed.

Abstract
We report base-mediated reactions of 1-bromo-2-(2,2-difluorovinyl)benzenes with phenols followed by Pd-catalyzed intramolecular C-H arylation, which offers a novel route to a pharmaceutically relevant class of compounds, oxepines. Construction of these medium-sized ring structures proceeds as a one-pot two-step reaction through diaryl ketene acetals as intermediates. It allows to obtain various dibenz[ b, d]oxepine derivatives in moderate to high yields.

Abstract
The ecto-nucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase (NPP) enzyme family modulates purinergic signaling by degrading extracellular nucleotides. CD203c (NPP3, ENPP3) regulates the inflammatory response of basophils via ATP hydrolysis and is a marker for allergen sensitivity on the surface of these cells. Multiple other roles and substrates have also been proposed for this protein. In order to gain insight into its molecular functions, we determined the crystal structure of human NPP3 as well as its complex with an ATP analog. The enzyme exhibits little preference for nucleobase type, and forms specific contacts with the alpha and beta phosphate groups of its ligands. Dimerization of the protein does not affect its catalytic activity. These findings expand our understanding of substrate recognition within the NPP family. DATABASE Structural data are available in the Protein Data Bank under the accession numbers 6C01 (human NPP3) and 6C02 (human NPP3 T205A N594S with AMPCPP).

Abstract
A new approach to arylated 2-trifluoromethylquinolines based on novel regioselective Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions has been developed. Moreover, site-selective, chemo-selective amination reactions were performed. The new 2-trifluoromethylquinoline derivatives were tested as potential NPPs inhibitors and evaluated for their potential to inhibit two families of ecto-nucleotidases, i.e. NPPs and nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolases (NTPDases). Several derivatives were active on a nanomolecular concentration. The results were validated based on docking studies to study the active binding site of the molecules.

Abstract
Ecto-nucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1 (NPP1, EC 3.1.4.1) is a metalloenzyme that belongs to the NPP family, which comprises seven subtypes (NPP1-7). NPP1 hydrolyzes a wide range of phosphodiester bonds, e.g. in nucleoside triphosphates, (cyclic) dinucleotides, and nucleotide sugars yielding nucleoside 5'-monophosphates as products. Its main substrate is ATP which is cleaved to AMP and diphosphate. The enzyme is involved in various biological processes including bone mineralization, soft-tissue calcification, insulin receptor signalling, cancer cell proliferation and immune modulation. Therefore, NPP1 inhibitors have potential as novel drugs, e.g. for (immuno)oncology. In the last two decades several inhibitors of NPP1 derived from nucleotide- or non-nucleotide scaffolds have been developed. The most potent and selective NPP1-inhibitory substrate analog is adenosine 5'-α,β-methylene-γ-thiotriphosphate (Ki = 20 nM vs. p-Nph-5'-TMP, human membrane-bound NPP1). Non-nucleotide-derived NPP1 inhibitors comprise polysulfonates, polysaccharides, polyoxometalates and small heterocyclic compounds. The polyoxometalate [TiW11CoO40]8- (PSB-POM141) is the most potent and selective NPP1 inhibitor described to date (Ki = 1.46 nM vs. ATP, human soluble NPP1); it displays an allosteric mechanism of inhibition and represents a useful pharmacological tool for evaluating the potential of NPP1 as a novel drug target.
